Barack Obama’s standard pattern and practice is to discuss where we are today, where he wants us to be, and ignore the process to get us there.
When people ask, his response is, “Let me show you the shiny.”
Hope and change are not his true slogans, shiny is.
Take this one section of his speech to Muslims.
Here is sentence one.
No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons.
Now, here is the sentence that immediately follows that one:
That is why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons.
A couple of things:
(1) How do those sentences square? No nation can tell another nation whether or not it can have nukes and America will tell you all you cannot have nukes. That is what it amounts to.
(2) Did he learn nothing from the Carter administration? Does he really believe we are going to get China, Russia, and North Korea to give up nukes?
If he does, Barack Obama is not just ignorant, he is a fool. And an ignorant fool is too dangerous to have running this country.
Barack Obama’s ivory tower naiveté will get us all killed.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Heh. I twittered this very thing.
randy streu (Diary) Thursday, June 4th at 9:39AM EST (link)I think the answer is, when you’re Obama, words are both the only things that matter, and at the same time don’t matter at all. When you’re in Obamaland, incongruity is normality. War is peace. We are at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with Eurasia. Until, you know, we’re not.
Another incongruity from the same part of the speech: how does Iran have the “Right” to nuclear energy, but not the country OBAMA is supposed to be leading?

no kidding...
builder20 (Diary) Thursday, June 4th at 10:34AM EST (link)That and the points mentioned above. What is it with left wing ideologues? They have these amazing plans, visions even, of how the liberal progressive Utopia can be built. Like Michael Moore describing how GM should produce bullet trains like Japan. Except Japan is only a few hundred miles long with an extremely dense population. Unlike the US that is a couple thousands of miles wide and long, with a mostly spread out population. To build bullet trains and lay track to the scale Moore wants would cost trillions, and would be a money sinkhole. But does that dawn on the guy? Nope.
I think Obama lives in the same world as Moore.

Please clarify your analogy

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern. -C.S. Lewis

smitty Thursday, June 4th at 10:17AM EST (link)This is what happens when you elect someone who has never had a real job. He lives in his own idealistic little world. Sure, I guess it would be great if we could all not have nukes and sit around and sing songs together. The reality is that is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
The bigger issue is that there are so many idealists in the country who voted him as well. They have govt jobs and may never have to face reality either. Its bothersome. I would like to be a idealist too, but alas I have a family to support. Heck I would like to eat junk food and not be fat but reality gets in the way there as well

IJB Thursday, June 4th at 9:09PM EST (link)I think you can make that argument.
bridgetjoyner Thursday, June 4th at 8:42PM EST (link)But, I happen to agree with him on this in principle.
N. Korea, Iran, and everybody else want nuclear weapons in order to protect themselves (and even threaten others).
How can anyone fairly say “we get this power, but you don’t”?
It seems that his point is that there is a possible world where no individual country holds that power.
I can only guess that this would mean that any country that signed on as nuclear-free would get protection.
But, this is a good question to have him explain it further.
bj
Does that mean that you don't understand why it is
papalee Thursday, June 4th at 9:46PM EST (link)That we don’t let the mentally defective, the insane and convicted felons vote? Just as all persons in a rational society are not allowed to vote, drive automobiles or do brain surgery, so their are nations and states where our knowledge of their leadership makes it imperative that we make sure they can do as little harm as possible.
All countries are not created equal.
"That we don’t let the mentally defective, the insane and convicted felons vote?"

Vegas_Rick (Diary) Thursday, June 4th at 10:06PM EST (link)And exactly how would that be arranged? Since we’re the only ones with anything close to a missile defense shield, and the Messiah wants to shot can that, how do you protect someone from rogue nukes?
And yes genius, there are man portable nukes. Got any bright ideas?
Sheesh!

bridgetjoyner Tuesday, June 9th at 6:18PM EST (link)Even our missile defense shield isn’t able to prevent rogue/portable nukes.
man portable nuclear devices...
DONTREADONME (Diary) Tuesday, June 9th at 6:25PM EST (link)usually have very small yields and require a large amout processed fissile material. The only countries capable of producing an effective small man portable atomic weapons currently are the United States and Russian with maybe Britian, France and China. The US and Russia are the only countries I know that can build tactical nuclear missiles for short range high yeild destruction.
That said, the only real threat we have is delivery of atomic warhead from rogue countries via ballistic missiles. The theory that states will get the bomb anyway seems to be a rather naive and childish approach to our enemies. Remember, the leaders of those countries do not think like you do in the sense of an ideal nor does MAD necessarily apply to them.
Thanks for the info
bridgetjoyner Tuesday, June 16th at 2:56PM EST (link)You clearly have more technical knowledge of the issue than I do.
That said, isn’t it a possibility that a nuclear bomb could be shipped in and detonated?
And let’s face it, nuclear weapons may not even be the biggest threat. We can only do so much to protect ourselves from poisons and deadly contagious diseases.
When we put a state into the category of “enemy”, it is too easy for that government to use that as propaganda to make it’s people anti-American. I don’t know what the right thing to do with Iran is, but it seems clear that many of the youth of the country, who are a majority, have a pretty good view of the USA.
I think that is something we should continue to cultivate.
