North Korea and the Ripple Effects of Obama’s Foreign PolicyI hold no hope that BHO is going to reform his attitude or his policies. Do you?

...[A]fter 22 months of apologizing, bowing, and contextualizing supposed American sins from the trivial (lamenting the Arizona law in a meeting with the Chinese) to the profound (the mythical Cairo speech, unilaterally pressing Israel right out of the starting gate), the Obama administration has sent the message that it may not be so comfortable with America’s past unilateral responsibilities to its allies, and may even sympathize with some of the grievances of our purported enemies. Whether this assessment is fair or not, that’s the message they’ve sent.
Dismissing the idea that past global problems might transcend George W. Bush, this administration operated as if a charismatic world citizen, with reset magic, could win over the globe to a U.N.-sponsored utopia. These false assumptions intrigued the curious abroad — why would Obama seek to advance such absurd notions about global problems having originated with U.S. belligerence circa 2001–2009 and being resolved by U.S. empathy in 2009–2010? Apparently, as we are now learning, North Korea wants to find out the answer.
In general, listlessness and misdirection in Washington always ripple out to the world abroad within a year or two....

...[T]he commander-in-chief needs to stop his contextualizing and apologizing, especially this pernicious messianic notion that, as an empathetic and post-national president, his mission is to redeem a previously culpable America. Otherwise, in the next two years that nonsense is going to get people killed.
So, this man is going to get a lot of people killed. It's a foregone conclusion now.
If any who voted for Barack Hussein Obama are reading this, I lay the blame at your feet. You wouldn't heed any of the warnings sounded. The warnings were plentiful, and you just went along with your mania to put this man into the Oval Office.
North Korea, a little piss ant of a country, has called BHO's hand, and he'll botch the handling of the situation.
Epic fail.
An epic fail that would not put America's interests first.
An epic fail that will get many people killed.
Yes, you're right. They wouldn't heed any of the warnings.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, when we noted Obama's family was Muslim, we were called crazy, racist, and there was an insinuation that such a charge was the equivalent of Birtherism.
In the past few days, of course, the same Grandmother we had been assured by our Paternalistic media, was not a Muslim, is suddenly praying for our President to become a Muslim.
so, if she is not a Muslim, when we said she was, then why does she want Barack to become a Muslim?
Answer, she's a Muslim, and the media LIED.
The media did not make a mistake. THEY LIED.
And, the people of the United States wanted so badly to prove that they were not racist, wanted so badly to believe that we could have the audacity of hope and change that Obama spoke of, that they lost all their capacity for reason.
Here, I will let the people of the United States in on another little secret we've been trying to alert you to this past few years:
Our President is also a Communist.
I know I sound like a nut to you, but he is.
Are you gonna believe us this time, or not?
Ah, fuck it. What are the stakes? It's only a fucking nation, right?
