This is why I can’t help but think that Obama was a manchurian candidate planted to take America down from within. George Soros name might be at the top of the puppet string, but not necessarily the only one. Can anyone look at this man as being a mainstream American leader? No way. Was the financial crisis in 2008 timed as a diarist stated last two weeks ago? Was it spawned as a launch pad to insert a radical socialist to take over more than 50% of the economy with more to follow? This nuclear summit was nothing more than our president’s commitment to unilaterally disarm us. While Obama has been commiting to disarmament to show our sincerity in stoping Iran’s nuclear build up, Russian president Medevev was revealing his non-commitment to sanctions against Iran. Sound familiar? Every time Obama meets with world leaders he achieves nothing but pacifism in the face of threat.

When you foam at the mouth at a comment that you edited in order to change the meaning? The ‘like it or not’ was clearly directed at the US getting dragged into conflicts *because* we are a super power. Nice editing, though.

In other news, according to Lori Ziganto, “America isn’t really Exceptional.” And I thought you red-staters were patriots.

I have seen this several times today, and it pains me to bring it up because I agree with the substance of our disagreement with Obama. He spends far too much time apologizing for America’s greatness.

But he did not say what you have put in quotes. Truncating a sentence is paraphrasing or worse, and should not be in quotes. The full sentence is this: “Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another, we get pulled into it.”

No matter how much we might disagree with his overall sentiment or approach, correcting the quote does, in fact, change its meaning in a substantive way. It can be interpreted as follows: “we may not like the fact that we get pulled into these conflicts around the world, but that is the price we pay for being the dominant military superpower.” If GWB said it, we’d accept that interpretation at face value.

I don’t like Dowdification when it is done to us, so I don’t like seeing it practiced, especially when it is so easily avoided.

However I’d agree that trying to hold up this paraphrase as proof is misleading.

for his failure to protect America and the Constitution.

….OK, IF…there is a restoration of conservatism/constitutional wunder-lust…that Bill Clinton would be the poster child of what we hate. Seems this sombitch is working overtime to finally beat out the “other” Clinton, too.

The US has saved or liberated 2 billion since its inception.
We freed ourselves, liberating 2,500,000 from imperial Britain, 1776.
Lincoln freed 3,940,000 slaves, 1863, and kept the nation one instead of the US of N. America and Confederacy of Southern States. (Then, in emulation, the czar of Russia–a real czar–freed the serfs, c. 43,000,000).
The US liberated 10-12,000,000 slaves in S. Am., when we won the Spn-Am War, 1898. All other slaves held in Spanish lands were also freed.
Twice, Americans saved Europe: 368,000,000 in 1918 and 738,000,000 in 1945. Then we rebuilt Europe with the Marshall Plan.
We gave 72,000,000 Japanese dem. capitalism instead of theocratic dictatorship in 1945.
The US with the UN saved 3,000,000 S. Koreans from Northern communism (and today starvation by the N.) in 1952.
Reagan brought down the Eastern European communist bloc and USSR communism in 1989, for the release of 300,000,000 and 287,000,000.
And we owe the Muslim world very little–besides sending trillions for oil:
In 1997, we saved c. 1.4 million Muslim Serbs from genocide.
In the Middle East, America rescued 21,000,000 Kuwaitis in 1991, and 22,000,000 Afghanistans in 2003 and 24,000,000 Iraqis in 2003.
We virtually support Egypt, and spend millions on the Palestinians.
When the 2005 tsunami hit Indonesia (the world’s actual largest Muslim nation) and the Pacific Ocean, the ships and manpower that delivered aid and rescue were US military.
When the earthquake hit Haiiti, we were the first on the ground.
And save for the occupations within the first decade after WW II and a brief flirtation with colonialism after the Spn-Am. war, we have not colonialized the countries that we freed. We could be like the British Emp. on whom the sun never set but have not sought that power.
little o should accomplish 1/10 as much.

Sorry – Obama can’t help bad mouthing America. He was raised by anti-American his entire life and sought out anti-Americans his entire life.

His disdain for our values and those that honor the county seeps out of his pores. He betrays our allies, coddles our enemies, demonizes people and groups at random to make himself look better.

President Bush may not have been perfect, but he treated people with respect.

Obama is an arrogant, self-hater who looks down on the American people and I feel it every time he opens his mouth.

Don’t Tread On Me

The feeble attempts to defend our indefensible and detestable “leader” fall flat in the face of everything the man has ever said, done, or believed. He clearly hates America’s superiority, military and otherwise, and wants to drag us down to”level the playing field” or some such international socialist pablum.

Arguing over the placement of the commas in his remarks does nothing to salvage his reputation, but does serve to call even more attention to his utter failing at his sworn job.

Anything to bring down America. Obama truly does not like America.

Good Grief…Obama would rather have another country overpower us? I like being a super power.!! Would he rather have Iran a SUPER POWER? or maybe North Korea, or How about China?

. . . fundamentals are

1) Obama is Great
2) American is BAD.

How do you spell ‘LOSER”? O . . . .

All the conservative talk radio, TV people tell he’s doing “stupid” things or “misguided” things all the time, yet assuming his goals are in line with what’s supposed to be the goal of the President of USA.. Ask yourself, is it realyy possible that the guy who, one way or another, outsmarted a lot of people and become The President is so dumb or misguided? Really?

There’s another explanation and that explanation is that he is an enemy of the People of USA, smart and cunning enough not to cross the line where his intentions become clear yet consistently doing everything possible to bring USA down, to destroy US economy, to squash US technological advantage, to bring US population into powerty and to ready US to become a third world country. Look at all he’s done so far and tell me I’m wrong!

He’s not a loser, he’s an enemy and he’s winning so far.
