“O” Is For Ostentatious

“W had the worst foreign policy of all presidents.” Many believe this because the macaca media repeats it with a zombie like zeal. Democrat mythology is that Obama, henceforth dubbed “O,” will fix all that is wrong, or at least make everyone feel better about America’s worldwide reputation.

It’s another so-called change that “O” promised, but it could be like changing a disposable diaper that includes throwing out the baby too. For “O” had a unique record as a presidential candidate. He actually infuriated more American allies than anyone else in history including Bush!

First, “O” enraged an important ally in the war on terror that Bush managed to get to switch sides. What made Pakistan so angry? Well, “O” just threaten to invade them.

It can be argued that Bush is doing that now. Our military goes into areas that Pakistani troops dare not tread. Yet, it’s done quietly in order not to anger Pakistanis in great numbers. Pakistan is somewhat unstable politically, and it has nuclear weapons. Making moderates more likely to agree with extremists is a good way to destabilize the government and put bad guys in control, and worse they would have nukes!

A little closer to home is Georgia, not the state but the nation. An American ally with 3000 troops in Iraq, no wonder liberals hate them. When Russia invaded Georgia, “O” issued a statement that both sides should show restraint in the violence. McCain instead rebuffed Russia and demanded the immediate removal of its forces. Two days later, “O” finally changed to McCain’s better position.

But, look at the situation from the Georgians’ perspective. Imagine instead that it’s Georgia, the state. Would Americans appreciate a foreign leader suggesting that they use restraint in defending this nation? All real Americans would react vehemently, “Shut your d--n pie hole, a-hole!” Well, Saahkavilli, Georgian President, thanked McCain for his support. He didn’t even acknowledge “O’s.” That’s the diplomatic equivalent to the above sentiment.

Then, there’s Canada, even closer to home. “O” like most Democrats blame NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) for the lousy economies of states where Democrats have wreaked havoc. But, “O’s” rhetoric reached a point where he threatened to renegotiate the agreement whether Canada liked it or not.

Well, Canada under NAFTA is prohibited from cutting their oil exports to the US if there’s a worldwide shortage or disruption unless the same amount is rationed to Canadian consumers. After Obama’s threat, Canada’s trade minister said that any renegotiation would include removal of this clause, so Canada could sell their oil to the highest bidder.

Given that the US imports 30% of its oil from Canada, “O” could really put this nation in an energy crunch greater than has ever been seen. In that case, he’d already be fulfilling his promise to get America completely off oil even if as a result many people freeze to death.

And, there are “O’s” choices for his foreign policy team that many find very bewildering. Like Susan Rice for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, she was deeply involved in “some of the Clinton administration’s worst foreign policy disasters.”

Many resulted from “Presidential Decision Directive 25,” a mistaken belief that warring parties would respect and not shoot lightly armed U.N. forces. Her directive led to fiascoes in Rwanda, Haiti, Bosnia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, as well as Somalia where the “Blackhawk Down” debacle occurred in 1993.

Another baffling choice is Governor Janet Napolitano (D-AZ) for Secretary of Homeland Insecurity. She will be responsible for enforcing federal policies that as governor she previously objected. Napolitano signed a law contradicting Real ID, a measure that requires states to verify residency before issuing driver licenses. It was recommended by the 9/11 Commission and is now federal law.

Well, “O” at least is picking individuals who’ll best carry on his many foreign policy faux pas begun in his candidacy.

Then, there’s former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. Who did he really agreed with on whether a president should meet an enemy dictator without preconditions? This subject was raised at the first presidential debate. Since Kissinger was a McCain advisor, if he had agreed with “O,” the macaca media would have surely demagogued it. But Kissinger when asked on Fox News confirmed his concurrence with McCain. As a result, the media ignored it.

In fact, the media’s treatment between “W” and “O” can even be detected in matters of triviality and couldn’t be better contrasted than with their fitness regiments. Bush’s routine is described as an obsession, an indulgence and even creepy. Conversely, Obama, who misses church services to workout, is given accolades like being named one of the 25 fittest men in the nation. Why he’s so “Fabulously Fit.” Too bad the brain isn’t a muscle.
