Remember Rahm Emmanuel’s famous statement, “never let a good crisis go to waste.”? Apparently Obama either partially read that statement or chose to ignore it like he has the majority of the American people. This is apparent by the latest poll numbers coming from Rasmussen were he is tanking again with a -20%.
Qaddafi for weeks has been murdering his own, while the rebel’s that are trying to rid Qaddafi as their tyrant who is well known for this egregious act, are seen on news broadcast calling out to Obama for help. Other countries quickly condemned these acts and are in the process of calling for a “no fly zone.” Yet, Obama has taken his time with weak attempts from Sec. Clinton to demand humanitarian treatment of the people of Libya. Like previous protest that have occurred in the Middle East, Obama seems to be picking and choosing the ones he strongly supports. Only as of late has he come out and made statements in reference that Qaddafi needs to step down.
Obama, failing miserably with his foreign affairs etiquette and the mishap of him speaking out with support regarding the Wisconsin union protest doesn’t fair well with the majority of Americans.
The world seems to be in a tail spin as in the middle of what is already taking place across the globe, Japan is hit with a 8.9-9.0 earthquake which set off the tsunami that has left the country devastated and thousands unaccounted for. Yes, Obama did promise and he did deliver aid when it was called upon to help these people many that have ties within the continental United States. However, with all the turmoil we are facing now with the possibilities of a nuclear meltdown. Obama still finds time to hit a few balls out on the green! Imagine the outrage if President George W. Bush had gone golfing in the mist of the 9/11 terrorist attacks! The media and the progressives would have been foaming at the mouth trying to be heard by anyone with a microphone and a television crew!
America needs a LEADER not an appeaser, let’s just pray that we can hold strong, continue to support those in Japan that need our help by donating to the American Red Cross and hope that we are still here to vote Obama out in 2012.
You hit the nail on the head, as always. “Leadership” and Obama are simply incompatible in any one sentance.
Obama can’t be bothered by such distractions world crisis events.
He’s busy running for re-election and apparently playing golf, when he’s not screwing up the domestic energy business, and our economy in general.
And meddling in states politics and laws.
At 1st Obama said nothing about Qaddifi stepping down. Only when it looked like Qaddifi would lose power did he say Qaddafi must go.
Now it looks like Qaddi will hang on and Obama has shut up about him.
Pakistan is holding an American with Diplomatic Immunity and says Obama must pay a Sharia payment before they will release him.
We give billions of dollars to Pakistan and they hold one of our hostage for a Sharia payment. They have zero respect for Obama.
