Obama’s Respect for Israel Can’t Survive Open Mic

Reason #38

America has shown Arrogance

Obama had been President for less than four months, when he appeared in Strasbourg, France’s Rhenus Sports Arena, to tell the world that America fails “to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world,” that the United States shares the blame for what has happened in the world, and that there have been times when Americans have “shown arrogance and been dismissive…” While he spoke also of future shared responsibilities, he laid much of the blame for past problems squarely on the shoulder of America – an interesting charge against one’s own nation – a nation that liberated France from the Nazis and helped restore it to a position of prominence, largely through the blood of American soldiers and the largesse of the American government and its people.

“…but we also know that there’s something more that has crept into our relationship. In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” (Emphasis added)^{^[i]}

Reason #39

Obama’s Respect for Israel Can’t Survive Open Mic

A great deal of speculation has surrounded President Obama’s personal position towards Israel. Perhaps some clarification was provided at the 2011 G20 conference, when a private exchange between French President Sarkozy and U.S. President Obama was unintentionally exposed through an open microphone. According to ABC News, the captured conversation went as follows:

President Sarkozy: “I can’t stand him anymore. He’s a liar.”

President Obama: “You may be sick of him, but me, I have to deal with him every day.”^{^[ii]}

How could we doubt President Obama’s sincerity? Is this the type of duplicity that the President exercises in his dealings with the American people? Recall his open microphone in San Francisco capturing his comment about voters who “get bitter,” and “cling to guns or religion…”^{^[iii]}

Perhaps, away from the cameras and microphones, he doesn’t really fly so high above the fray.

Reason #35/36 – Obama: Americans Short on Ambition and Imagination/Obama: Ignorance and Arrogance of Americans

Posted on June 24, 2012 by ourfree50

Reason #35

Obama: Americans Short on Ambition and Imagination

A study of Obama’s speeches, fundraisers, press conferences and other interactions – especially with foreign countries and targeted audiences here at home – will lead even the most casual observer to the conclusion that Obama sees a great deal wrong with America. He has called us “Mean-Spirited,”^{^[i]} “manic and self absorbed,”^{^[ii]}“soft”^{^[iii]} and more.

His Inaugural address seemed to offer a glimmer of decency, when he said:

“Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive…”^{^[iv]}

But, he quickly returned to normal. Speaking at an October, 2011 fundraiser in San Francisco, President Obama couldn’t resist the urge to ring that bell still another time, as he addressed his followers:

“Anybody been to Beijing Airport lately? Or driven on high-speed rail in Asia or Europe? What’s changed? Well, we’ve lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam and unleashed all the potential in this country.”^{^[v]}

These are the words of the President of the United States, Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, who sends America’s men and women to war and sometimes death, believing in his heart that they – that we – are without ambition, or imagination.

Reason #36

Obama: Ignorance and Arrogance of Americans

Obama asserts early in his first book, that while living in Indonesia, he was taught by his mother, Ann Dunham:

“…to disdain” what she saw as “the blend of ignorance and arrogance that too often characterized Americans abroad.”^{^[vi]}

He also found the innocence of German, Japanese, British and American tourists in Kenya, “…vaguely insulting” and was angered by the attention they received from Kenyan waiters in a restaurant.^{^[vii]}

Perhaps these feelings account for some of his apologies for our Country – odd that his comments about Americans who cling to their religion and their guns, probably closely mimic the types of elitist condescension about which his mother was talking.

Reason #33/34 – Obama: Rewriting History/Obama: America has “Gotten a Little Soft”

Posted on June 23, 2012 by ourfree50

Only 137 Days Remaining!

Reason #33

Obama: Rewriting History

Speaking before the Cuban American Foundation, then Presidential Candidate Obama once again launched a verbal assault on then President George W. Bush. Based on Obama’s purported intellect, we can only presume that he knew the first portion of this statement to be a lie.

“…Since the Bush Administration launched a misguided war in Iraq. Its policy in the Americas has been negligent towards our friends, ineffective with our adversaries, disinterested in the challenges that matter in the peoples’ lives and incapable of advancing our interests in the region. No wonder then, that demagogues like Hugo Chavez have stepped into this vacuum.”^{^[i]}

“His predictable, yet perilous mix of anti-American rhetoric, authoritarian government, “checkbook diplomacy,” coddling the repressive regime in Cuba, offers the same false promise as the tried and failed ideologies of the past.”^{^[ii]}

Hugo Chavez was elected President of Venezuela in 1998. He “stepped into this vacuum” on Clinton’s – not Bush’s watch! Here, Obama talks judgmentally about “coddling the repressive regime in Cuba,” when he called for flexibility in dealing with Cuba at the Summit of the Americas. This might fit the definition of Hypocrisy!

As to the second portion of Obama’s statement, can you tell whether he is speaking about Bush, or Chavez? Did he know? Did he care?

(An excerpt from 203 Reasons Not to Vote for Barack Obama)

Reason #34

Obama: America has “gotten a little soft”

Apparently, Obama does sometimes consider America to be a decent country. On occasion, he has even – as shown in the following quote – called us “Great.” On September 29, 2011, speaking with Orlando WESH-TV’s Jim Payne, the President noted:

“The way I think about it is, this is a great, great country that had gotten a little soft and we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades. We need to get back on track.”^{^[iii]}

This is probably one of the nicest things Obama has ever said about America – before, or after becoming President.

Reason 32 – America Sought to Dictate Terms

Reason #32

America Sought to Dictate Terms

In his first address to the Summit of the Americas, Obama affably responds to comments by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega – a man responsible for death, destruction and the economic plunder of his own nation. Obama notes that we should not be trapped by history and suggests the need for flexibility in dealing with places like Cuba.

“…All of us must now renew the common stake that we have in one another. I know that promises of partnership have gone unfulfilled in the past, and that trust has to be earned over time. While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. But I pledge to you that we seek an equal partnership. (Applause.) There is no senior partner and junior partner in our relations; there is simply engagement based on mutual respect and common interests and shared values. So I’m here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration. (Applause.)

“To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I am very grateful that President Ortega — (applause) — I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. (Laughter.) Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. And we’ve heard all these arguments before, these debates that would have us make a false choice between rigid, state-run economies or unbridled and unregulated capitalism; between blame for right-wing paramilitaries or left-wing insurgents; between sticking to inflexible policies with regard to Cuba or denying the full human rights that are owed to the Cuban people.^{^[i]}

Interestingly, while he strikes an apologetic tone by voicing his perception that the U.S. has, “at times been disengaged, and at times sought to dictate our terms,”(in Latin America), he makes no similar apology for attempting to overrule the Honduran Constitutional process by demanding the return to power of their ousted President, Manuel Zelaya.

Reason #27

Inspirational Words from Barack Obama

“So what has been accomplished here in America is nothing short of remarkable. It’s often been said that America is a country for the future. Well, that future has now arrived. And despite the uncertainties over the last two years, we have stepped onto the world stage as a major financial and economic power.

“We did not arrive at this point by simply chance or good fortune. Our success came because of hard work and the perseverance of the American people, the entrepreneurial spirit of many in this room, and the vision of leaders…”^{^[i]}

These were the exciting words of President Barack Obama – a true patriot – a man who believes in American Exceptionalism.

DON’T MISS THIS:

Did he really say all of these nice things about his Country? Are you kidding????? Here’s what he really said:

“So what has been accomplished here in Brazil is nothing short of remarkable. It’s often been said that Brazil is a country for the future. Well, that future has now arrived. And despite the uncertainties over the last two years, you have stepped onto the world stage as a major financial and economic power.

“You did not arrive at this point by simply chance or good fortune. Your success came because of hard work and the perseverance of the Brazilian people, the entrepreneurial spirit of many in this room, and the vision of leaders…”^{^[i]}

But, just to show he’s thinking about us, here’s four quick statements Obama did make about America and Americans.

“…we’ve lost our ambition, our imagination, ”^{^[ii]}

“…the “manic and self absorbed” “mood of the country,”^{^[iii]}

“…we went off course…”^{^[iv]}

“…great country that had gotten a little soft…”^{^[v]}

Reason 20 – Obama Entitlement: “I Deserve a Second Term”

Posted on June 13, 2012 by ourfree50

Reason #20

Obama Entitlement: “I Deserve a Second Term”

In early 2009, Obama told an American public waiting with great expectations, for the “hope and change” he had promised – hoping that “Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America” meant returning us to a full employment society. Obama’s post inaugural promise?

“If I don’t have this done in three years, then this is going to be a one-term proposition.”^{^[1]}

It’s three years later now and by Obama’s own words, it is not done. Why is he running? Here’s what he says today – without skipping a beat…an interesting choice of words:

“I deserve a second term, but we’re not done,”^{^[2]}

How fitting that the man who thinks things work better when you “spread the wealth around,” should choose the entitlement demanding words that he “deserves a second term.” Does the man who condescends to those “clinging to religion” seem just a little whiney here?

Reason #19

Obama: Change We Can Believe in – Just not yet

In 2008, at the Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama told throngs of enthusiastic Americans:

“Well it’s time for them [Republicans] to own their failure. It’s time for us to change America.”^{^[i]}

But, what did he mean? After three years of continued high unemployment – with horrific numbers mitigated more by people dropping out of the employment search than by those finding jobs – after an unsuccessful $800 billion dollar stimulus package – after increased divisiveness in the country, failed immigration policies, a health care program rammed down the throats of a resistant America – after all of this and more, Obama’s response is:

“’When I said, Change we can believe in, I didn’t say, Change we can believe in tomorrow, not, Change we can believe in next week.’”^{^[ii]}

New York Times Columnist Maureen Dowd, in a surprising article, wrote: “The dissonance of his promise and his reality is jarring.”^{^[iii]}

Reason 18 – Obama: A Rank Amateur

Posted on June 11, 2012 by ourfree50

Reason #18

Obama: A Rank Amateur

In her book, The Obama’s, author Jodi Kantor states that “…when it was time to order a swing set for the Obama girls, Rear Admiral Stephen Rochon, the chief usher, traveled to the factory in South Dakota where it was being made to inspect it.”^{^[i]}

According to media coverage at the time, the Obama’s paid for the swing set. But, there is more than one kind of extravagance – and this is a particularly ugly and unnecessary one. A Rear Admiral in the field would likely be in command of thousands of service members. There are two levels of Rear Admirals, both of which are Flag Officers – a rank level attained by less than 1% of career military officers.^{^[ii]}

Sending a Rear Admiral across the country to inspect a child’s swing set – particularly, given current Defense cuts – is an insult and an embarrassment. If the military was to have any role in this transaction, there are numerous enlisted skilled technicians in all branches who could have done a credible job. Most probably, there was an Army base far closer to the South Dakota operation than Washington, DC.

How and why did this happen? Who knows? What we do know, is that President Obama seems more comfortable with high ranking titles. The BP “Spill Commission” noted, for example that:

“During the Deepwater Horizon response…inter-agency groups [NRT and RRT] were activated but later marginalized when issues were taken out of their hands and decided by agency heads rather than through the established decision-making structure. When the first National Response Team conference call was held, instead of the designated team members, the principals of the agencies were on the line and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano chaired the call.” ^{^[iii]}

In fact, on day two of the BP spill crisis, the Deputy Secretary of Interior was dispatched to the Gulf, in order – not to guide our response, but to provide Washington officials hourly updates on our disaster response.^{^[iv]} Does this sound like a job for the Deputy Interior Secretary?

Are these lessons in applied Elitism? Or, are they merely the actions of a rank amateur?

Reason 14/15 – Obama “Inherited” – 16,300 Times!/President Won’t Share Keys

Posted on June 9, 2012 by ourfree50

151 Days Remaining!

Reason #14

Obama “Inherited” – 16,300 Times

Even today, this President continues to try and distance himself from the economic problems faced by America. Nothing is his fault. He bears no responsibility. He “Inherited” this mess. In fact, if you had gone to the White House web-site at 10:45am EST, on March 21, 2012, and in the search box, entered the word “inherited.” This would have been your result:

Results 1-10 of about 16,300 for ‘”inherited”^{^[i]}

In his remarks to a Joint Session of Congress on Feb 24, 2009, he used the word three times and those of us who have listened to him, have heard it on many other occasions. To be fair, these were not all his own speeches, but they all came from the White House. Since it would take far too long to search each of the 16,300 uses of the word “Inherited,” I’ll stipulate that he could have used the word in other contexts – but, even if we generously allow that this happened in 1,000 cases, that still leaves 15,300 times in which the word was used once or more to describe his plight as the 44^th President of the U.S. and his absolute freedom from any responsibility for our current economic conditions.

Although he still uses “inherited,” to point the finger at others, he has also learned to mix it up – now using the equally stunning “…for the last eight years….” and then again, to “….over the last decade.” Same message, but as he and Duval Patrick say; “Words Matter.”^{^[ii]}

* * *

Reason #15

President Won’t Share Keys – Demands others Compromise

Sticking to the same divisive, partisan rhetoric he consistently uses on the American people, President Obama addressed members of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on May 13, 2010, telling them:

“So after they drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No! You can’t drive! We don’t want to have to go back into the ditch! We just got the car out! We just got the car out!”^{^[iii]}

And here at the wheel is the President of “hope and change,” “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” His inspirational words no doubt enhanced the spirit of bipartisan cooperation – and this was when Democrats controlled both Houses. Does the President who was ready to meet with Ahmadinejad sound like he was ready to work cooperatively with Republicans?
