Iran has not even BEGUN to try to trip up Obama and already Obama is clearly out of his depth.
This is the first real test of his presidency and Obama is failing abysmally, for all the world (and his supporters) to see. I don't want the President to fail, but if he refuses to succeed, whose fault is it? And if he refuses to succeed, what kind of leader does this make him?
Obama bashes America for "not living up to her ideals", and here he is - precisely not living up to our ideals by *not* speaking out in support of the brave Iranian men and women who ask only one thing of their government - give them free and fair elections. Our American tradition has *ALWAYS* been to support democracy, because democracies tend to avoid warring with each other, because democracies sponsor goodwill between the peoples of each country (look at the goodwill between the American people and the people of the former Soviet Union - we consider the people to be our friends because *they* speak the words of peace through their ballot boxes.
Obama has put the lie to his sloganeering. His constant political campaigning, since the day he assumed the office, has been designed to convince the American people that he is engaged and in charge. And on this, his very first real test, Obama cannot even muster up the courage to vote "present". If he refuses to succeed, what kind of leader does this make him?
I thank Obama for demonstrating his fecklessness in betraying everything and everyone who voted for him in record time, for betraying our ideals, for giving us nothing but platitudes and jousting with straw men day in and day out. The lesson we all should learn is that if it looks like a duck (a Socialist) and it walks like a duck (an empty suit) and quacks like a duck (a clueless megalomaniac) then it probably is a duck.
Obama does not stand for what America stands for. Obama stands for himself. Obamamania is threatened by taking a principled stand. America's stature on the world stage is threatened by not taking a principled stand. We see now which is more valuable to Obama.
Why is it, again, that we should be scrapping missile defense, Mr. President?
Even the MSM has to sit up and take notice now - the Emperor is walking the streets butt naked. Is there a single American that still refuses to see this?
