Just read where BO said the following: "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 leadership. That's not going to happen."
Why not? And, what does BO plan to do to prevent it?
America won its independence from England. Then, in less than 200 years, we turned America into the greatest country on the face of the planet. We support the world. We defend the world. We feed the world. The American taxpayer has gone to great trouble and expense for the rest of the people of the world, and not always voluntarily. American blood has been shed in nation after nation. In return for our largesse and our sacrifice, we have been spit on, blamed for everything that has gone wrong, and attacked, from within and without.
And now comes some overweening, underwhelming adolescent telling us that we have no right to enjoy the fruits of our labors? Is BO's idea of leadership to apologize to the rest of the world for our success?
But wait, there's more.
"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us."
Oh my gosh! This man has a complete and utter lack of understanding of the world today!
Hey BO, MAD is not just the name of a magazine. Mutually assured destruction kept things in balance between America and the Soviet Union because the powers that be in both of those countries weren't suicidal maniacs. Russia wasn't going to send a nuke our way because it knew we would send one its way. And, whatever its policies, Russia wanted to survive.
We have no such guarantees with a nuclear Iran, which would quickly see that other America haters had nukes, too. It has been demonstrated time and time and time again that islamofascists have no respect for human life, including their own. Ahmadinejad would happily nuke some city in America even if our response was the total obliteration of him and his country, as long as he got his licks in first.
Barack Obama shouldn't be anywhere near the halls of power in any capacity whatsoever, and God help this country if he makes it to the White House.
