That's going to leave a mark! Can't wait until President Zero claims that Sarah has no expertise in defense matters.

Asked this week about his faltering efforts to advance the Middle East peace process, President Obama did something remarkable. In front of some 47 foreign leaders and hundreds of reporters from all over the world, President Obama said that “whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.”
Whether we like it or not? Most Americans do like it. America’s military may be one of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen, liberating countless millions from tyranny, slavery, and oppression over the last 234 years. As a dominant superpower, the United States has won wars hot and cold; our military has advanced the cause of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan and kept authoritarian powers like Russian and China in check.
It is in America’s and the world’s interests for our country to remain a dominant military superpower, but under our great country’s new leadership that dominance seems to be slipping away. President Obama has ended production of the F-22, the most advanced fighter jet this country has ever built. He’s gutted our missile defense program by eliminating shield resources in strategic places including Alaska. And he’s ended the program to build a new generation of nuclear weapons that would have ensured the reliability of our nuclear deterrent well into the future. All this is in the context of the country’s unsustainable debt that could further limit defense spending. As one defense expert recently explained:
The president is looking to eliminate the last vestiges of the Reagan-era buildup. Once the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are “ended” (not “won”), the arms control treaties signed, and defense budgets held at historic lows while social entitlements and debt service rise to near-European levels, the era of American superpower will have passed.
The truth is this: by his actions we see a president who seems to be much more comfortable with an American military that isn’t quite so dominant and who feels the need to apologize for America when he travels overseas. Could it be a lack of faith in American exceptionalism? The fact is that America and our allies are safer when we are a dominant military superpower – whether President Obama likes it or not.

Bump!
It is to Obama whose mission is to destruct the Capitalist system and make America in to a third world cesspool and Socialist Utopia.
“Like it or not, America is still a Super Power.”
“I have a problem with the concept of victory. It reminds me of Hirohito surrendering.”
“Larry, meet me at this soccer field.”
No need to worry about that superpower status too much longer with him limiting nukes even for self defense. Mmmmmm, mmmmmm.
“...Most Americans do like it. America’s military may be one of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen, liberating countless millions from tyranny, slavery, and oppression over the last 234 years....”
Could it be that OUR military forces might have to liberates US from the tyranny and oppression that is the Obama reign? It might have to come to that.
What an obvious Rino she is........
This President hates America and it shows oh so often.
My only hope is that Binyamin Netanyahu understand who he is dealing with. Because America might survive the next three years but Israel might not if Obama has his way. Israel has to dig in and do what it has to do to survive.
Obama will take care of a strong America!....just wait!...We will be at third world status in no time!
That's going to leave a mark! Can't wait until President Zero claims that Sarah has no expertise in defense matters.
1. I wonder if he will have the restraint to NOT respond to this.
2. She should be in Steele's position.
That this is exactly how the President thinks is as obvious as that chin of his, which he keeps thrust out, all the world like Mussolini. The world has forgotten Mussolini, the father of fascism. Obama brings him to mind, however. A leading socialist journalist, he came to power using tactics like those of Lenin, whom he greatly admired. A great showman, he was also the mentor of the Nazis. And in partnership with Big Business, he established a dictatorship and ran the country with an efficiency that won him admirers all over Europe and in the USA. At first no admirer of Hitler,and seen by the Western Powers as a check on Germany power in Austria, he was angered by British and French opposition to his ambitions in Africa. Obama exhibits a different kind of jingoism, an attitude that is in many respects the reverse of Mussolini's but in his determinism to brings all the levers of power into his own hands, he does remind me of the Fascist leader.
“2. Hadn;t thought of it, but this WOULD be a great role for her, if the powers-that-be were to get past their arrogance.
The right to publicly challenge American global status/strength is GUARANTEED to all Americans by virtue of the VERY strength which “O” finds so objectionable.
The “President’s’ thinking has become contaminated.
Because SOME Americans will ‘hump the leg’ of ANY minority… just for BEING in the minority…he thinks the US as a national entity, should display identically gratuitous and fawning deference to all and any other world powers… and with an equivalent absence of factual premise, or demonstrated logic!!
Instantaneous, direct, groundless, wholesale, pointless, perpetual and pathological, self- deprecation, self-hatred, self-doubt, and self-effacement have become the expected (soon to be required) manner for all and any reference to America or Americans BY Americans!!!!
Never mind that this is what we expect and invariably GET from our enemies… NOW it is the EXPECTED tone for Americans in reference TO America!
Where is it written that Americans themselves must voluntarily (for now) dismantle and debase their own society?
How much of my own ‘mental furniture’ do I have to ransack to see this behavior as justifiable OR logical?
God bless Sarah.
2. She should be in Steele's position.”
Correction: She should be in Obama’s position
Naw, she wouldn’t have as much impact if she were in Steele’s position. But, as president, heck yeah!
