Foreign policy..... Rice to UN (UGH), she announces we are going to open with Iran without conditions, Barack seconds with his opening call to the holocaust minimizing Abbas, and ist interview with racist Al Arabiya, and then we have this and this.
Apparently, according to Bill Gertz, Obama had been talking with Al Qaida about a truce since the fall or late summer.
Today he confirms he is talking with Iran and Syria. And of course we NOW have the appointment of 'Hillary is a monster', our 'investment in the middle east should be with Palestinians, and we should be prepared to invade Israel to protect our investment' , 'complaints from the jews about Obama are always about Israel' Susan Powers to a senior foreign policy position, something cynically claimed all along would happen by Obama's opponents, and derided by his supporters.
There isn't one single thing he has done which will help america in the foreign domain. To prove this all we have to do is to look at the increased and accelerated verbiage from Iran. Apologize, withdraw, grovel. VDH has the cue.
Obama appears to have a fundamental weakness and others outside the nation SMELL IT
Domestic - well he has been properly focused. But despite my hope that I can find hope, I just cannot understand how the current bill is going to stimulate anything significantly.
I could see how a WPA type infrastructure plan would net a few more jobs in a very hard hit industry, but when Macy's is laying off 7,000 and Home Depot, blah blah blah, the main problem ..destroyed consumer confidence based on REAL not perceived events..is left hanging. To build that confidence every move has to be based on more jobs and keeping jobs..even to the extent of REWARDING BUSINESSES FOR DOING SO.
More broadband is nice, but how this helps is beyond me
Fighting STD's is nice, but how this helps is beyond me
Capping salaries is a BAD IDEA (Hello McCaskill?). Fire people whose greed exceeds our needs. Capped salaries will make mediocre chiefs dominant. I want to kill all these bastards who invented absurd financial instruments as if they were REAL products ending up with an entire nation whose wealth was based on rising real estate values, since that's what the banks and investment houses invented cash for, but driving talented people to those businesses which remain uncapped WON'T HELP US OUT OF THIS.
Reward businesses who can MAKE THING at a profit. Stimulate THEIR eforts to expand and hire. Do NOT reinforce failure.
Forget buy america first. It's just a more polite Smoot Hawley. I know it doesn't feel right, but that' the world. We already did that once in 1932 and it didn't work out so well. Already we see riots in Britain over foreign (cheaper) workers coming to England 'taking jobs away from Englishmen' ... no those jobs would just then be done more cheaply in a another nation. LAW OF NATURE. Capital is a force of nature.
I see Obama trying to do some right things domestically and he still has a way to go before real disappointment moves in. But the reality is that just as Bush faced a situation in Iraq which Eisenhower said in 1945 would take 50 years to judge in Germany and Japan, yet he had to deliver in a ridiculously short amount of time - now Obama faces the REAL need of preventing the suffering of the people from robbing him of his chance, so he MUST put aside the childish ideas which are nice, but will not serve the main need.
I figure around May - June, at the latest, real disgust will filter from the opposition to the people, if it is not obvious that plans in place will help.
I know it is now chic to claim private enterprise, entrepreneurship, and property have failed (which is completely false..greed has no ideology, including greed for power..Pelosi, Reid, Frank, and Soros), but what on earth makes ANYONE believe that EVEN IF that was true, government ownership, direction and central control will work?
Employment in the 1930' after a brief gain, fell during the thirties. The USSR and every other central control plan failed. The EU has squashed the idea of a small man with a big idea making it out from under a blanket of social controls to success. If we 'save' ourselves at the expense of that idea, Americans will recognize, it's much more rewarding to work with 60% of the effort to make make 90% of what might be possible, and private entrepreneurial endeavors, just won't be worth the effort. There will be no more, Jobs, Gate, Ellisons, or wildcatters.
And that, people, will be that.
