Return to Somalia.

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

The US government has announced a $10 million dollar program to train and arm the Somalia’s embattled government forces. They are currently surrounded in the capital city of Mogadishu and kept alive and standing by the African Union forces. These forces have been mandated by the UN to protect the “legitimate” local government against the various Islamic factions and armed clans fighting for power. A local Islamic leader has already said that these arms and ammunitions funneled through the UN forces will eventually end up in their hands anyways and one must wonder what the point is for the US to suddenly come forward and decide to help this symbolic remnants of legitimacy in Somalia. The UN, the African Union, and America have proven unable to restore peace, order, law and a working government in Somalia. The Clinton administration failure started with a highly mediatized landing by Marines and ended with the dragging and mutilating of American corpses in Mogadishu. With the War on Terror and the fight against Al Qaeda, the fighting was “sub-contracted” to Ethiopian forces backed up by US remote strikes from the French controlled territory of Djibouti. Ethiopian troops withdrew recently and nobody is really able to fight that US proxy war against Islamic and terrorist groups in Somalia. Will money do the trick? Will sending military advisers to train Somali soldiers in Djibouti do the trick? How long until we will have to send self sufficient ground troops there, with the heavy weaponry and support that was lacking under Clinton? How long before the US must commit more than money? Is Obama warming up to the doctrine of “peace through superior fire power?”

Liberal’s Delusional Faith in a False God

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

One of the most important talents for success in politics is the ability to make utter nonsense sound not only plausible but inspiring. Barack Obama has that talent… Thomas Sowell

Recently when Rush commented that if al-Qaeda wanted to destroy the U.S. they better hurry if they wanted to beat Obama. From the state of our economy, Obama’s tyrannical policy and the intellectual vacancy of liberals, I think he is right on.

While discussing the Marxist messiah’s economic plan with a liberal co-worker it became apparent that willful ignorance is a common trait among liberals. During the campaign the co-worker blamed the slowing economy on President Bush and his tax cuts and claimed Obama’s plan to “jump start” the economy with more government spending and an expanded government role would fix the economy. In true liberal form he supported his position with erroneous historical and economic data and claimed Clinton gave us the best economy in 50 years and gave President Bush a surplus. When informed that credible economists were predicting a stock market crash24040200 and severe recession if Obama was elected the co-worker responded with some bumper sticker democrat slogans. The co-worker was given hard economic and historical data and challenged to cite his sources to support his Liberal Fantasy. His liberal response was that he did not want to talk about it.

Obama was elected, the stock market crashed, the economy tanked and the county has had significant lay-offs. Liberals have been more somber and the liberal co-worker has been avoiding any debates about the economy.

The other day a discussion about Obama’s “nationalized health care plan” was initiated with the co-worker. He opined that something had to be done for millions of people that did not have “health care.” When he was challenged that the issue was “health insurance” he acknowledged the difference. When questioned as to who was going to pay for it he avoided the question. When challenged on the breakdown of the 48 million people without health insurance; 12 million illegal aliens, 12 million young who opt out, 12 million who are eligible but chose not to enroll or are in prison, leaving 12 million that actually need it, he was silent. Again the question was put to him. With Obama’s $3 trillion budget, $1.8 trillion deficit and $11 trillion projected deficit for the next ten years, how did he and Obama propose to pay another $2 trillion for nationalized health care. He responded that he has not seen those figures, considered them “spin” and had “faith” in Obama. Simply Pathetic!

Let’s look at some hard data he refused to consider and that any critical thinker would. First, economic growth from a reduced tax rate is well established. President Harding reduced President Wilson’s 75% wartime tax to 25% which triggered the growth of the “Roaring 20’s.” Presidents Hoover and FDR raised the top tax rate to 94% contributing to the Great Depression. It remained above 90% until JFK reduced it to 70% which resulted in the economic boom of the 60’s. President Reagan cut the top tax rate to 28% which created a “multi-decade boom”. The claim President Bush’s tax cuts slowed the economy is a liberal myth. President Bush inherited a recession and 9-11 from Clinton. The 2002 tax cuts gave us a robust economy for six years with growth in GDP averaging 3.5%-4%.

Second, every administration since FDR’s socialism has significantly increased public debt. Even Clinton increased the debt. The big lie liberals love to repeat is Clinton gave Bush a surplus. The data doesn’t support it. In 1992 the public debt (without obligations) was $4.1 trillion and 56.2% of GDP. In 2000, the economy was in recession, public debt increased to $5.8 trillion but only 39.3% of GDP. In Jan. 2007, the pubic debt was $8.7 trillion and 48% of GDP and the deficit was cut to $162 billion. In Dec. 2008, Democrats and Bush’s refusal to veto spending, gave us a public debt of $10.7 trillion that was 70% of GDP with a $454 billion deficit. In five months Obama has given us a public debt of $11.4 trillion that is 90.4% of GDP and a deficit of $1.7 trillion.

The fact is that the economy started its slide when Democrats gained the majority in Congress in 2007. In the first hundred days of Obamanomics, 41 states reported a 12.8% decline in tax revenues, the federal tax revenues decreased 34% and all 50 states are in recession. The CBO forecasts a $1.7 trillion budget deficit for fiscal 2009 and the national public debt will double over the next 10 years, while Obama underestimates the deficit by $2.3 trillion over the next decade. The CBO also reported that Obama’s deficit will not go below 4% of GDP and will exceed 5%. American households have already lost $1.33 trillion of wealth. The June 2009 unemployment rate is 9.4% and forecasted to exceed 11%. Economist Nouriel Roubini opined the U.S. financial system is effectively insolvent and bond fund managers predict the U.S. will lose its triple-A rating. Democrats and Obama played a major role in creating this severe recession. Now Obama owns it.

The fool behind the curtain has been exposed. My liberal co-worker and his comrades can put their faith in the narcissistic Marxist messiah, government and bigger government. I’ll put my faith in God, the individual and small government.

Comparisons Between What Did Not Work Under President Bush And Works Great Under President Obama:

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

Now I remember why I switched to politics on the blog….global issues do not interest you guys! Lol…So here it is…

Comparisons between what did not work under President Bush and works great under President Obama:

· Drinking in college by Bush is bad but drug use by Obama is cool… the “audacity of dope!”

· For 20 years and under Bush, attending Rev Wright’s church was OK but once Senator running for the White House, Rev Wright became “The person I saw yesterday is not the person I met 20 years ago.”

· During previous administration, Rezko was a friend. During the campaign, “your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago.” (Dixit Sen Clinton). Once Senator running for the White House, Obama said “This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew.”

· Tax breaks: they were for the rich under Bush and are OK now that the Obama administration continues them.

· A military surge in Iraq was bad under Bush and the lying General “Betrayus” misrepresented it but it is good under Obama in Afghanistan.

· War on Islam bad under Bush… Muslim countries that are friendly to the US, where US citizens can roam freely and exercise their freedom of speech, religion, sexual preferences, etc…: Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Yemen, Egypt, and West Africa, Lebanon…. But President Obama stated that “the U.S. “is not and never will be at war with Islam”

· The Domestic Surveillance law was an attack on our constitutional rights and privacy under Bush but it is OK now for Eric Holder to push Congress for its continuation.

· China’s poor records on Human rights issue were encouraged when Bush attended the Olympic games (dixit Sen Clinton or Pelosi) but “won’t hinder” our economic and political relationship with the Obama administration (dixit State Secretary Clinton or Speaker of the House Pelosi)

· Carrying guns in public parks was a bad idea of the Bush administration but has been signed into law by President Obama.

· Torture is an ugly legacy used and encouraged by the Bush administration but US lawmakers “a la Pelosi” who have known about it since 2002 did encourage it by their silence and complicity. They did not know, were lied to, forgot, did not do anything because it was pointless….whatever…. and President Obama said that he was “Seeking to move beyond what he calls a “a dark and painful chapter in our history,” a time when executive and legislative worked together to achieve results and win a couple of wars.

· Investigating the Bush administration to restore America’s honor is good but creating a bipartisan committee to investigate the many claims from the speaker of the House, Pelosi, that the CIA has lied to and misled members of Congress is just a disturbance to more critical topics…especially when everybody knows that she has been lying on the matter…and if she has not, can one run by me why it is unimportant to prove that the CIA is actually lying and misleading Congress…a pattern that led us to Iraq…an excuse for Bush? A screen smoke from a lying and self serving politician? Come on, on these time of exposing Bush-Cheney evil side, Democrats would have jumped on the occasion and supported the investigation…unless they know Pelosi is lying!

· Harsh interrogation methods were “legalized” by a bunch of “bad lawyers” of the Bush administration and that was not good, but using lawyers to legitimize the incarceration without trial of hard core Guantanamo inmates on US soil is OK as long as it comes from the Obama administration…

· Pork Barrel under Bush was bad but under Obama it is a good thing

· Lobbyist was the plague under Bush but under Obama it is OK… Interests groups involved in that new Green cash cow have increased their lobbying workforce by 300% compared to five years ago…

· And Hiroshima and Nagasaki used to be good and credited for saving hundreds of Thousands of American AND Japanese lives but according to Obama, guilty America should be leading the world to a total nuclear disarmament because –how dared she- America actually used the evil power first.

· And special funding to finance the war was bad under Bush but seems like a good idea under Obama, even when he used to oppose them when Senator.

· And Blackwater and the privatization of war by corporate America was so bad under Bush but ignored today when Blackwater is still protecting State Department officials under a Federal contract.

· And the special military tribunal that were not good at all during Bush and have been restarted by the Obama administration.

· And the “rendition” process that allows America to transfer prisoners to foreign countries, was bad under Bush but upheld by the new administration.

· And the nomination of buddies and contributors as Ambassadors….come on, even the owner of the Steelers got one of these cozy payback post!

· And the announcement of the 150.000 jobs he saved the day when unemployment fell to another record low…oooops…he saved jobs based on what he said we would have lost without him! That’s good non partisan math!

· And finally, $500 billion Federal Budget deficit and two wars were bad under two terms of Bush but $1.84 Trillion deficit –and growing- in 200 days under Obama is cool.

How do you spell Hypocrisy, disinformation?

Obama’s Radicalized America

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”… Patrick Henry

Obama is perhaps the most dangerous Marxist we have ever had in the White House. The man has absolutely no roots that bind him to American law, culture and traditions. He was born to a communist mother, abandoned by a polygamist Muslim father and raised by a black Marxist that hated white America and capitalistic philosophy. He cares little for the American economy or culture.

At least the Socialist FDR and the clown Jimmy Carter had established ties to America. FDR’s goal was party power and Carter was just an incompetent idiot. Obama’s end game is more sinister and destructive. He even announced his plan to “re-make” America in his own image and liberal Kool Aid drinkers just follow along like cattle to the slaughter house.

The new Fuhrer sees the US Constitution as a “charter of negative rights” or a document to constrain the individual and not him or his government. It is to be ignored unless it facilitates his agenda. That is why it was easy for him to seize the auto companies and financial institutions in violation of the US Constitution. His arrogant dictatorial ideology made it easy for him to take control of the companies, fire CEO’s and executives, place his administration staff on the board of directors, breach contract law, dictate wages, policies and product. Remember the messiah has announced his intentions on more than one occasion. He told Americans, “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK… That’s not going to happen.” Pleasing and apologizing to the world at America’s expense is easy if he has no roots binding him to our country.

Like other Marxist dictators the Fuhrer proclaimed he would “spread the wealth” and “return the wealth to its natural owners.” So he simply violates long established contract law and steals the wealth and profit of private investors to transfer it to the government and unions. He orders Chrysler to sell its corporation to Fiat. Why? Could it be that Khadafi owns 3% of Fiat and it is more of his corrupt “Chicago Pay to Play” quid pro quo for the millions of dollars in contributions from terrorist, like Hamas, that Khadafi funneled into der Fuhrer’s campaign?

What should concern even the Kool Aid drinkers is that the messiah said he will fix it so we never have another economic crisis by preventing another boom. For those educated in the public indoctrination centers and the willfully ignorant, that means he will promote no economic growth and continued economic misery for everyone. Since his election the community organizer has made a shambles of the American economy.

While Obama violates the rule of law with corporate America and innocent infants surviving abortions with ease, he expresses deep concern for the rule of law in dealing with terrorist who want to murder Americans. Der Fuhrer wants to afford US Constitution and Geneva Convention rights to Muslim terrorist that do not meet even the simplest criteria for either. Does he feel more of a brotherhood with these terrorist than Americans?

I recently read an article about Obama’s 84 yr old great uncle, Charles Payne, discussing the lie Obama told about him taking part in the liberation of Auschwitz. I found a comment Payne made about Nazi Germany very ironic. Payne said, “I am puzzled by intelligent people who stand by and allow their country to be taken over and run by extreme radical types. I’m still somewhat puzzled by that. And I am fully aware that it could happen… in this country…”

Yes Mr. Payne, it could and is. For willfully ignorant Liberals who have a rudimentary knowledge of history and wonder how the German people let Hitler achieve the power to destroy their country and society… Look in the mirror!

WHAT NOW FOR SOMALIA?

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

Somalia is about to collapse again and whatever resistance the African multinational force will offer to protect its capital and its “elected” government won’t prevent the rise of a new “Islamist State of Somalia” Out of sight from the rest of the indifferent world, Islamist troops are taking the country over, building what could soon become a new Afghanistan-like haven for terrorists, Al Qaeda included. A couple of months ago, the UN asked for a Western country to step forward and lead a new UN peace keeping/enforcement mission. None did. Ethiopian troops were the only one preventing the Islamists from spreading and taking over. Since 9-11, Ethiopia has been a staunch US ally in the war on terrorism and had committed ground troops in Somalia to fight American battles, while also allowing US special forces to strike targets in Somalia from Ethiopia.In exchange, America and the whole world, have conveniently ignored the genocide committed by the Ethiopian government against one of its minority; genocide I documented in one of the site’s newsletters a couple of years ago. Furthermore, the hundreds of millions of American dollars budgeted and passed every year by Congress have contributed to that genocide. Was this the price for the WOT in Somalia?Anyways, Ethiopia is done and withdrew and Somalia is falling in Islamist hands. Somalia is already the land of Piracy! Soon, it might become another Afghanistan, Sudan or Middle East, a brewing and training ground for terrorists. Since the Clinton’s disaster in Somalia, America has always been shy about going back with military forces and had rather used proxy forces (Ethiopia, African Union) or countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia). Will president Obama be faced by another military intervention in the land of the tribes that have already defeated and ridiculed a US governement? Will it be a political or a military move?

An Anti-American President, A Citizen Of The World, Or What?

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

Some Obama critics question his presidential legitimacy due to the unresolved citizenship issue. The messiah could easily put the issue to rest if he would release his birth certificate. However, he seems to have a difficult relationship with transparency. To the uninformed he remains somewhat of a “blank slate”. While he has kept some aspects of his life a secret there is sufficient evidence for anyone with rudimentary intellect to form an opinion of whom or what he is.

A review of his biography offers some clues. We know his father was a Marxist polygamist who abandoned him and his mother was a Communist. His early mentor was the anti-American and Communist Frank Marshall Davis and he is a disciple of devout radical Marxist Saul Ansky. We know he graduated from Harvard Law School but refuses to release his transcripts or scholarly work product. Khalid Al-Mansour, the Black Nationalist and father of the Black Panthers, facilitated the Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s funding of Obama’s Harvard education. What else is he hiding?

The unaccomplished lawyer and community organizer trained in the corrupt and dictatorial Chicago Pay to Play politics. He worked with ACORN’s Madeline Talbott, intimidating and suing banks to force participation in the democrat housing welfare program. Small wonder he hates corporate America.

In “Dreams From My Father” Obama admitted that he chose his friends carefully. Consider some the “friends” he chose. There is anti-American Racist Jeremiah Wright and Father Pfleger, Marxist activist Gerald Kellman, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and former SDS security chief Marilyn Katz. Some of his business associates include convicted felon and slum lord Antoin Rezko and Franklin Raines who took a $100 million after overseeing the failure of Freddie Mac.

Supporters of Obama’s candidacy offers fuel to those who question his allegiance to America. His public endorsements included the Black Panthers, Hamas, Ahmadinejad, Fidel Castro, the Communist Party USA several European Socialists and Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi.

Instead of silencing his critics, Obama immediately creates more anxiety by giving his first official interview to Muslims on Al-Jezzara. Then promptly goes on a “Spring Apologies Tour” and apologizes for the “arrogance” of America and tells the Europeans the global economic crisis is America’s fault. Then he bows to a Saudi king and was contrite to third world dictators at the Caribbean summit.

Recently Obama favored the interest of a foreign company, Fiat, over a US company, Chrysler. Interestingly, Muammar Qaddafi would be a direct beneficiary because Libya owns about 3% of Fiat. Since Qaddafi was involved in campaign contributions could this be another Chicago style “Pay to Play”?

Obama’s proposal to release hard core Islamic terrorist held in “Club Gitmo” here in America makes one wonder whose interest he espouses. He escalated the risk to our military personnel by releasing enhanced interrogation memos then changes the term War on Terrorism to man-made disasters so not to offend Muslim terrorist. And I have not even addressed his plethora of destructive Fascist economic policies.

When you review his policies and actions is there any denying that Obama’s end game is to diminish America’s standing on the world stage. Why? His biography offers some clues to explain his anti-American ideology. Yet his arrogance and naiveté raises another question. Is Obama just another incompetent Clintonesque narcissist hailing from a dysfunctional family or a true Marxist wanting to remake America into another failed socialist state?

Your Roots…Not Mine!

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

California has just recovered again for the day-after hang over caused by Cinco Di Mayo, the celebration of the onetime victory of a foreign military over another foreign military in a foreign country (on year later the French took Mexico and sat their puppet on the throne). When I look back at the American history, for events worth remembering and celebrating one way or another, May 5th (Cinco di Mayo) does not even make the list. Just consider, to name a few, May 7th (1915) and the tragedy of the Lusitania that caused America to enter WW1, or May 8th, V Day Europe, the end of WW2! About 115000 US servicemen and women died in the first world war, and 300000 during the second. But we just forgot that our present has been defined by our past and the people have chosen margaritas over the sacrifice of their grandparents and parents. Let just open the borders and get done with this nonsense, because our definition of what America is and should be does not measure up to what our ancestors believed. For the kick of it, I polled a couple of GED level teenagers about “Lusitania” and why America should remember May 8, 1945. Most of the tentative answers located “Lusitania’ somewhere in Eastern Europe and offered the landing in Normandy on May 8th. No wonder that there is not such a thing as an American Department of culture!

Same Sex Marriage: Recipe For Failure

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

Will future historians chronicle the rise and fall of America? Will historians debate the demise of the great constitutional republic? If so, I suspect a common theme in such demise will be the erosion of the constitution. Historians will discover that Marxism, or namesakes Liberalism or Socialism, will have destroyed another productive and successful society. The Democrat Party, hijacked by liberals, will have achieved this destruction by bastardizing the Constitution to placate the whims of intellectually and morally bankrupt liberals. Once the Constitution was morphed into a meaningless living-breathing document, the deterioration of American traditions and family followed.

While there are several causes of societal dysfunction, the homosexual’s assault on marriage is definitely a significant one. Intellectually vacant liberals are too shallow to understand the deeper implications that homosexual marriages has on our society. Marriage and family is the fabric of societal survival and abolishing traditional marriage will result in societal decay.

In April the Vermont legislature legalized homosexual marriage. It joined the ranks with Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa where liberal activist judges legalized same sex marriage by judicial edict and over the objection of a majority of citizens. And the assault on tradition and family continues.

Polygamists in Canada are using the same arguments the homosexual activists used to legalize their abnormal unions. In 2004, the Canadian Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage by substituting the words “one man and one woman” with “two persons”. Already a polygamy case is moving toward the Supreme Court. In Jan. 2008, Winston Blackmore, a fundamentalist Mormon, was charged with polygamy. Blackmore’s lawyer says he will base his defense on the changes made to Canadian law to allow same sex marriage. Since the law permits homosexual marriage, his multiple marriages should also be allowed.

Liberals and homosexuals who object to polygamy ignore it has been sanctioned by some successful societies and historic religions for thousands of years. Homosexual marriages haven’t! Also, polygamists are a larger minority and not limited to Mormons and Muslims. Christian polygamist claim they are following practices of prophets in the Old Testament. Secular polygamists claim they “are just wired to be not jealous” and need more than one person in their marriages. As evidenced in Sisterwives, a pro-polygamy website.

With time, the legalization of pedophilia will most likely follow. The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is an organization that advocates abolishment of the age-of-consent, liberalization of laws against sexual relations between adult and minor males and “sexual freedom for all”. It is using the same methods to advance its agenda as homosexuals. It is the largest organization in the umbrella group International Pedophile and Child Emancipation (IPCE) and is not limited to males. Women’s Auxiliary of NAMBLA and the website “Butterfly Kisses” celebrate erotic relationships between women and young girls.

Remember, homosexuals began by decriminalizing sodomy. Pedophiles are trying to lower the age of consent which will decriminalize pedophilia. It can happen. Twenty years ago most did not believe same sex marriage could happen. The age of majority has been lowered so girls under the age of 18 can access abortions and the “morning after pill” without parental consent. Under California law (SB 777) school children as young as kindergarten receive sexual indoctrination on homosexuality, bisexuality, and trans-sexuality. Liberal judges and Obama’s justice department advocate the use of foreign law, even sharia law, when deciding some US cases. The Dutch Paedophile Emancipation Movement led to the Dutch enacting a liberal law permitting sex between an adult and a child as young as 12 if the child consents. Will liberal democrats use Dutch law to justify lowering the age of consent in the U.S. to 12 yrs?

These deviant groups must be encouraged by liberal activist claim same sex marriage is an “inalienable” right, protected against “discrimination” or have a mythical right to privacy. Advocates of polygamy and marriages between bisexuals, transsexuals, first level blood relatives, or whatever, can use the same arguments as homosexuals.

Homosexuals claim marriage is about “coupling”. If marriage is not an institution about children, family and the survival of society, what institution is? Re-defining marriage to accommodate same-sex couples would nullify traditions in culture and family. History has shown that when you erode the family unit illegitimacy, crime, poverty, moral decay and eventually the end of the society follows.

Swine Flu

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

The Swine flu is coming out, ravaging Mexico according to our media who sell and advertize more when reporting doom and gloom, the end of days. My local paper today reported 149 deaths already in Mexico and pages covered what could happen to us as a race and what to do to try to avoid becoming a casualty. Interestingly, the paper also stated that only 20 were confirmed victims of the virus and the other were “unknown”. All this junk news brought me back to the West Nile Virus, and the Asian Avian flu hysteria. So much noise for nothing. That being said, there is indeed a risk of the new weird flu spreading out and crossing our open and politically correct borders, and indiscriminately killing Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, peace and war mongers. In the old time, we had Ellis and Angel islands screening our legal immigrants and quarantining them, some for up to two years. Now we have the ACLU and La Raza. Let’s imagine that this one is the ultimate killer flu our fear mongering media are striving for. Would you close the border and quarantine every incomers from anywhere if your lives were at stake?

Obama: The Slapstick Comedian In Chief

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

“What good fortune for the government that the people do not think”… Adolf Hitler

If the Radical Marxist messiah was not so dangerous he would be hilarious. His administration looks like something right out of the annals of Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges. In three months our amateur president, whose only major achievement is winning political office, has made more boneheaded errors than most presidents do in an entire term.

Obama telegraphed his incompetence during his campaign. Like when he eulogized the 10,000 that did not die in Kansas or traveled to 57 states or claimed his parents met during the Selma march. Or how about is brilliant explanation for the lack of translators in Afghanistan, “they are in Iraq.” Except the real reason is Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish and Afghanis don’t. Or how about his Kerry moment when he said “Iran doesn’t pose a serious threat to us,” then said, “Iran is grave threat.” I guess that determining when a baby gets human rights is above his pay grade. Just imagine the liberal howl if President Bush would have made these gaffs.

As president his bungling continues. Here is a short list the willfully ignorant overlook.

• His nominations for his still unfilled cabinet has been comparable to a poorly written sit-com with filled with tax cheats, people under investigation and radical extremist.

• He exuded confidence and expertise on the stock market by saying it’s “sort of like a tracking poll in politics”

• He announced that Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens assured him that he was going to start hiring people after his stimulus bill was passed. The next day Owens admitted he never said that.

• He demanded Congress pass his stimulus package immediately or the economy would explode. Congress passed it without reading it and Obama went on a three day vacation before signing it.

• The teleprompter dictator fired the CEO of GM, demanded Chrysler merge with Fiat, and sent Rahm Emanuel out to launch attacks against private citizens like Rick Santelli, Jim Cramer and Rush Limbaugh for daring to criticize him while his A.G. Eric Holder called American people “essentially a nation of cowards.”

Obama arrogantly claimed that with his election the rise of the oceans would began to slow, our planet would began to heal, he was the moment we were waiting for and he would transform America’s global image. With these bonehead follies he changed our image for the worse.

• He insulted the British by returning the bust of Winston Churchill, gave British PM Gordon Brown twenty-five DVD’s that were not compatible with European media players and gave the Queen of England an I-Pod with audios of “his” speeches.

• In his first presidential interview with a Saudi-owned TV channel he indicated he wanted to return to an illusionary golden age in the Muslim world that was in fact plagued by turmoil.

• After the Iranians burned him in effigy he delivered a video message celebrating the Persian New Year. A crowd chanted “Death to America” while the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s offered this slam, “we don’t know who is making decisions in America, is it the president, the Congress, or some unknown people who pull the strings?”

• Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handed Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov a button that was supposed to say “reset” but translated to “overcharge”.

• Obama sent a “secret” letter to Dmitri Medvedev offering to rescind missile defense for Poland and the Czechs in return for Russia’s help in stopping Iran from getting nukes. The Russian publicized the “secret” letter.

• Czech PM Mirek Topolanek told the European Parliament that Obama’s economic policies represent “the road to Hell… and the biggest success of the EU is the refusal to go this way.”

• India responded to the messiah’s meddling by warning him not to dredge up out of date Clinton era strategies to broker a settlement between Pakistan and India over the disputed Kashmir territories.

• After Obama vowed to disarm America the North Koreans launched a long range ICBM to demonstrate an improving nuclear capability and China expands its naval base on Hainan.

• He proved the relevance of his nickname, the “teleprompter president” when the Irish PM Brian Cowen read 20 seconds of Obama’s teleprompter speech before realizing the mistake and during the Sebeliuss nomination everyone had to wait in silence while Obama’s teleprompter was adjusted. This from “the most eloquent political speaker of our time.”

• Probably his worst amateur moment came when he bowed to the Saudi king then denied it.

While liberals worship this stammering, stuttering, empty suit the world leaders laugh. French President Sarkozy said the next time Obama is in France he is going to take him to the English Channel and have him walk on water. It has become obvious, the king has no clothes.
