RSSAnother “F” For Obama
Carl Andrews | January 28, 2010
All along, I thought that the grade that President Obama gave himself was pretty generous.
First the WMD commission, and now these folks agree with me.
As expected, Barack Obama’s 70 minute State of the Union address focused heavily on the economy and the domestic political agenda. This was hardly surprising in the aftermath of last week’s catastrophic defeat for his party in the Massachusetts special Senate election, where the Republicans scored an historic victory. American voters are turning strongly against the president’s health care reform package as well as his big government vision for the economy, which has contributed to spiraling public debt and mounting unemployment, now standing at over 10 percent.
But the scant attention paid in the State of the Union speech to US leadership was pitiful and frankly rather pathetic. The war in Afghanistan, which will soon involve a hundred thousand American troops, merited barely a paragraph. There was no mention of victory over the enemy, just a reiteration of the president’s pledge to begin a withdrawal in July 2011. Needless to say there was nothing in the speech about the importance of international alliances, and no recognition whatsoever of the sacrifices made by Great Britain and other NATO allies alongside the United States on the battlefields of Afghanistan. For Barack Obama the Special Relationship means nothing, and tonight’s address further confirmed this.

Soetoro/obama is a spoiled little boy with no experience to run a country. He is an admitted Muslim. Muslims hate Christians. The United States is a Christian nation. Therefore, the Muslim in the white house is a Muslim Terrorist hell-bent on destroying this Christian nation. He just won’t have to fire a shot or set off a bomb to do it. He is doing it from within.
