Asleep at the Wheel

Asleep at the Wheel

I have a feeling that President Obama is asleep at the wheel. Has he forgotten that he is the Chief Executive of our country and not for the entire world? Last week he spent time at the U. N. blaming his country for the world’s troubles for everything from climate change (global warming) to terrorism. He basically accused his country of torture by stating that we would no longer torture. He was praised by dictators and tyrants alike - how nice. The Libyan Dictator even said that he hoped Obama would be our President forever. Hugo Chavez loves him! I don’t know about you, but that troubles me.

It took Obama 10 months to have a meeting with his top military commander in Afghanistan and he has not answered his request for additional troops (I like to call them reinforcements) that he believes are needed to win the war. He drags his feet on the most critical job he has, but flies off to Copenhagen to lobby the Olympic Games to be held in Chicago (in which he was unsuccessful). I don’t believe the Olympic Games are a high propriety for the country (they are not even a high priority for Chicagoans - certainly it is not a job for the President of the United States). Again, asleep at the wheel!

He continues to apologize about America, when no apology is necessary. We have a right to defend ourselves and avenge the attacks of 9-11 by what ever means is at our disposal … but we don’t. We have been even-handed, careful and deliberate, which is why millions have not been killed at the hands of the United States, but have been liberated from tyrants and oppression in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We are the world” to steal a line from Michael Jackson. Not long after 9-11, I met a woman whose husband flies helicopters for Saudi Oil. Her husband said that a Saudi Arabian newspaper described Americans as “people of every race, from every country on every continent, every religion and every ethnic group on earth” … that sounds pretty good to me. Yet Obama apologizes to a body of nations that cannot make the same claim - that is shameful of him. He must wake up and take a stand for the Unites States - his country! The greatest nation the world has ever known.

There you have it.
Pass it on if you like or let me know if I don’t have a clue.
