Because you know he would...

In a little more than 18 months, President Obama has managed to destroy America’s reputation around the world by damaging relationships with our traditional allies and making America appear as a weak and appeasing beggar to some of the most totalitarian and evil regimes in the world.
Meanwhile, his destructive obsession with restructuring the U.S. economy to mirror the socialist systems of Europe and several Third World nations are doing such long-term damage to our future prosperity that today’s college-age generation, (Gen Y or the Millennial Generation-born between the early 1980s-late 1990s), will have a less prosperous lifestyle and far fewer opportunities for growth than the previous generation had.
No longer are today’s older generations, including Generation X (born between 1965 -1980) making sacrifices in the hope that their offspring will be able to have a better life than the current one we inherited from our parents and grandparents. For the first time in American history, an older generation will not be leaving an even more prosperous America to its successor.
During the great “Obama Apology for America” tour, the president’s continual criticism of the nation he “leads” and his actions of cutting America down to size as just “another standard player” on the world stage were a bold statement to the international community about the contempt he holds for the United States. He has gone to the capitals of foreign nations, many of them hostile to the U.S., to grovel and bow before tyrant kings and dictators. Within weeks of assuming the Oval Office, Obama went to great pains in explaining how America is nothing exceptional, but simply an equal to all other nations, including the likes of countries such as Bangladesh, Yemen and Lebanon.
Starting with his first “official” televised interview, granted to the Islamic television network Al Jazeera, Obama has taken great pains to explain to Muslim audiences that America is “not a Christian nation,” and that Americans have so many Muslims that we are actually more of an “Islamic nation.” He has told audiences, from Cairo to Istanbul, that America has only become the powerhouse it is because Americans built this nation based upon the “tradition and culture” of the past “great Islamic” civilization. In churning out this amazing ditty to his Muslim audiences, he forgot to mention that America had actually built its representative republican form of government based on the principles as founded in the Roman Republic, which was a) European, b) eventually Christian, and c) at least 500 years or more before Mohammad (Islam’s founder) was even conceived in the Arabian peninsula.
Appeasing his friends in the Islamic world to the fullest extent, Obama has openly declared his outright hostility and anti-Semitism to the State of Israel. Making continual overtures to all the Muslim terrorist nations and organizations, many who carry an “official” policy of Israel’s destruction in their charters, Obama has simultaneously treated the Jewish state as a pariah nation. His undiplomatic and hostile treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a recent visit to the White House clearly demonstrated where this president’s loyalties lie.
Obama has even supported, for the first time, a UN resolution singling out Israeli ambiguity about its nuclear weapon reserves. This has been an issue that no other previous president has touched, as it has always been understood that Israel, being small and surrounded by enemies on all sides, needs to keep this strategic policy of nuclear ambiguity in place as deterrence to its neighbors. However, Obama has decided it is time to strip Israel of a defense upon which its very survival as a nation rests. The world knows Israel would never use nuclear weapons except defensively, and they know the UN is a hotbed of Islamic bloc nations with hostile intentions for Israel. Yet Obama has put the United States on the side of aggressor, terrorist nations by allowing this historic condemnation to go through.
In further evidence of his anti-Israel policies, Obama has openly chastised the Jewish state for its “crime” of defending itself via a legal blockade of Gaza, the Hamas-run terrorist hotbed south of Israel’s border. Gaza was part of the Democrat’s cherished “land-for-peace” deals in the Bill Clinton 1990s in which Israel surrendered defensive buffer zones against hostile neighbors to create a “Palestinian” state, in exchange for “Palestine” to drop its “destruction of Israel” policies and live in peace next door to the Jewish state.
Israel’s reward for this good-faith gesture has been a rabid Islamist population that immediately elected Hamas as the head of its government. Gaza is now administered by a terrorist organization with a charter to destroy Israel.
Additionally, Israel has reaped the benefits of “land-for-peace” in the form of Israeli citizens being kidnapped at the border, suicide bombers blowing Israeli civilians to bits as they peacefully go about their daily lives, and thousands of explosive rockets, launched from Gaza territory, raining down on the homes of Israeli civilians residing in Israel-proper.
When Islamist “humanitarian” groups continue to try and bring weapons and military supplies under the guise of “humanitarian aid” directly to Gaza, in defiance of Israel’s request that all ships go to Israel for unloading of all humanitarian aid that Israel will deliver to Gaza itself, the Jewish state has no choice but to blockade Gaza to prevent further terrorist attacks. Despite the fact that these “humanitarian groups” are openly declaring their main purpose is to provoke Israel and interfere in running the blockade, rather than in delivering true “humanitarian aid” to Gaza, Israel has had to resort to boarding ships and stopping weapons trafficking.
Each time Israel has tried to aggressively defend itself against Hamas, whether by militarily entering Gaza to weed out the terrorists or by closing the border, the UN and “world community” has organized protests and condemnations against Israel. The United States has remained the only nation to defend Israel, recognizing that the Jewish state is a democratic, peaceful nation, friend and ally in the region.
All past U.S. presidents have stood by Israel, even Carter and Clinton. The exception is President Barak Hussein Obama, who has openly chastised Israel for defending itself and has withheld U.S. support of Israel in her ongoing dispute with the “Palestinians.” There is no doubt that Israel has been completely abandoned by Obama’s America, as this president is much more sympathetic to the likes of Hamas’ terrorists rather than a democratic Israel. He almost seems intent on pulling the rug out from under the Jewish state and giving Israel a rope with which to hang itself.
However, Obama has not only thrown Israel to the wolves, he has also completely disregarded our other major allies, such as Britain, by never missing an opportunity to snub or insult the Brits.
While Obama is destroying American influence and goodwill with its friends and allies, he is courting “dialogue” with the likes of the Islamic terrorists and Communist cults-of-personalities. Obama’s open, disgusting and submissive overtures to the likes of Iran for a “face-to-face talk” about how Iran should quit trying to join the nuclear club have fallen on deaf ears. Each time Obama has tried to get a meeting with Iranian “President” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Tehran has reciprocated with more insults and more statements of destroying Israel.
Likewise for North Korea and its sinister dictator, Kim Jong Il, who have realized that this president is nothing but a weak paper tiger, totally dependent on high rhetoric and low on an actual spine to stand up to aggression. Hence North Koreas bold act of war earlier last month, when a North Korean sub torpedoed and sunk a South Korean naval vessel in South Korean waters. Kim Jong Il, like all dictators and totalitarians the world over, know that Obama will do nothing to stop them beyond using a few teleprompter words to “condemn” their actions.
While having created a power vacuum in a dangerous world by his total lack of spine and uninspiring “leadership,” Obama has presided over the highest deficit spending in the nation’s history. In just 18 months, this administration has outspent all previous presidents combined! While the nation has gone from 8% unemployment at the time of former President Bush’s departure to 10% or more while under Obama’s watch, this administration has simply ignored the economy in its blind-eyed approach to ramming an unwanted, nationalized and socialized health care law into being.
While the U.S. states bordering Mexico have pleaded for Obama to clamp down on illegal immigration, his regime has instead ignored the cries for help to work on more “important issues” such as making sure that gays and lesbians can openly serve in the military. When those states were ignored by Obama, they took matters into their own hands, only to be demonized by their “president” as “racists and bigots” who are propagating an illegal activity against “undocumented workers.” Just to make sure the border states understood where Obama’s loyalties lie, he invited Mexican President Calderon to the White House for a state dinner, giving the Mexican president an opportunity to dictate that Americans must quit defending the border and that it is the Americans, and especially Arizonans, who are the real criminals here.
In light of the British Petroleum (BP) oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, Obama has been clueless. He ignored the problem for almost 44 days, and then only addressed the issue after members of his own political party pressured him to at least act like he was concerned about the people of the Gulf coast. Over the course of the past two weeks, in what is arguably the worst disaster ever to hit the United States, this president has simply resorted to bullying BP with ultimatums and threats as the company works around the clock to literally stop the well. While BP actually attempts to work on stopping the disaster, Obama stands at a podium pointing an accusing finger at the company, while doing nothing to assist in aiding the beleaguered states whose economies and industries are threatened by the coming onslaught of oil contamination on the shores.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindall, who time and again has begged the Obama administration to allow the state to dredge and build artificial sand barriers out in the Gulf to absorb the coming oil and thus save the coastline from disaster. All of these requests by Jindall, a Republican, were simply ignored and dismissed by Team Obama. Yet this president demands that it is the federal government who is in charge of “getting that damned hole plugged.” After all the accusations Obama made against Bush’s handling of Katrina on the campaign trail, he should be ashamed of himself. His absolute mishandling of the crisis is light years beyond the mismanagement that Bush was accused of, making Obama a far more incompetent crisis manager.
Obama has managed to do the impossible. He has managed to make even Jimmy Carter look like a good president. His total lack of competence, diplomatic skills and understanding of the realities of the world, coupled with his total lack of loyalty to the country he “serves” and his disdain for all things American while supporting everything from terrorist dictatorships to illegal aliens, makes this radical in the White House not only the most incompetent president in the nation’s history, but also one of the most dangerous.

Is this supposed to be news? We already KNOW this!
Even though it’s re-tread, I get a sense of calm knowing that others in this world see this whole nightmare the same way.
But the question is - what can be done about it?
You know..if you listened to Rush..when he said early
on...”I hope he fails.” now, most everyone understands
what he meant....and Rush was pilloried by the MSP...for
months..now, they have backed off...funny? jk
I have to admit I am not sure what the purpose of this was. There is no breaking news worthy material here at all, nothing remotely resembling important info.
Because you know he would...
Without the will of the People to rise up against their Federal shackles, nothing.
I’m glad that people like Beck are out there TEACHING us about our history. Perhaps if enough people realize how it was in the past, they’ll want to change the present to make the future more like what the Founders intended.
People need to hear it again, again and again.
Re thread ?
For every dollar in tax revenue that our government brings in, it spends $1.75. Generations X & Y are cashing in now, leaving the bill to the Millenials and destroying the promises to the Baby Boomers. As a member of the Lost Generation, I have known my whole life that there would be no social security when I retire, but now I'm beginning to realize that there may not even be a country.

No kidding
This is series! And hugh!
He's NOT the President! He stole the election W/McStain's help! AND he stays in the White house due to the the willing assistance of the congress, supreme court, pentagon, and ignorant talking heads, who ALL know he is NOT a natural born citizen! He was blessed by the demon-rats as their oblation to the affirmative action god and all the race pimps!
