Oh, “Da” Propagan-“Da”

The sycophant DNC media seems enthralled in all that Barrack Obama “da’s.” He says a lot of ahs too, but it ultimately what he’s been doing that will fun-“da”-mentally change the American republic. When Bush was president, Democrats attacked him for “da”-ficits of a mere $455 billion. Obama will have over a trillion-dollar deficit in his first budget and $12 trillion more than doubling the current debt in just 10 years. America, is this “da” change you were looking for?

But, what’s really amazing is the con-“da”-scension of this administration especially in foreign policy matters. According to Democrats, Obama was going to be this interlocutor extraordinaire.

Recently, Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited Obama in Washington. Afterwards, a joint press conference is traditionally done involving both leaders. Instead, Obama snubbed Brown giving his press conference alone (but not without his teleprompter, of course). Only the British press complained.

Then, there was Brown’s gift to Obama. A penholder carved from the timbers of a British ship used to thwart the slave trade and a first edition biography of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill. These were thoughtful gifts as well as unique. What did Obama give Brown?

Why, Obama gave Brown a “special collector's box” of 25 DVDs of American favorites such as “The Godfather” and “Star Wars.” Why, this movie package can only be purchased in select locales like Walmart. Whoops, don’t tell Obama’s union buddies! Oh, and the DVDs were NTSC the wrong video format, for Britain uses PAL.

Several British media outlets citing anonymous aides reported that the gift left many puzzled. The London Evening Standard wrote: "One reason for the secrecy might be that the gift seems markedly less generous and thoughtful than the presents taken to Washington by the prime minister."

However, Obama’s ignorance extends to areas that could have much more serious consequences. Recently, a letter was revealed where Obama promised to forgo the missile shield in Poland if Russia agreed to negotiate with the Iranians to give up their ambitions for nukes. Apparently, the Russians released this letter to rebuff Obama in his clumsy overture. Yet, since Russians were adamant with Bush not to put the shield in Eastern Europe, why didn’t they jump at Obama’s offer?

After all, they could have made a half-hearted attempt to convince the Iranians to surrender their centrifuges, but anyone who isn’t a loony liberal (redundancy of terms here) knows that Iran is never nixing their nukes. And it’s insane to expect Russia to help because they’re building a nuclear reactor in Iran. Yet, after the Russians fail, they still could have demanded that the shield be dropped anyway. Again, why didn’t they accept Obama’s offer?

Well, they must believe that Obama is such a foreign policy goof that they can get so much more. Why just get the missile shield stopped, when they can get Obama to look the other way while they swallow up all of Eastern Europe again. Why not, Obama didn’t even care to inform Poland, an important US ally, of his offer to the Russians. And, he didn’t support Georgia, another key ally, after Russia invaded it.

Still, the DNC media reported that Obama’s move was bold, something Ronald Reagan would have done. Are they kidding? Reagan commanded respect from the Russians. Obama only makes them laugh and shake their heads. Like Secretary of State “Hilarious” Clinton giving the Russians a reset button because Bush ruined America’s wonderful relationship with KGB man, Vladimir Putin.

Only the button, which was supposed to be labeled in Russian with “reset,” was instead labeled “overcharged.” This little foreign policy faux pas still happened after the smartest woman in the world supposedly “da”-ble-checked saying, “We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?” “You got it wrong,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov responded.

Maybe, the button should have read, “We will nuke you,” instead.

Yet, it wasn’t just a word Clinton got wrong. It’s her understanding of the Russian regime. Former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, now a prominent leader of the Russian opposition, said it succinctly, “Treat this regime the way it deserves to be treated. They are criminals, and we expect you to stand up to them as Ronald Reagan did.”

Lastly, Obama has just completed another globetrotting trip around the world. For a foreign policy novice, he’s really racking up the Air Force One frequent flyer miles more than any other president. Apologizing profusely for America’s wrongs while simultaneously embarrassing this nation including in Russia, he even apologized for the Cold War.

A recent Quinnipiac poll in Ohio has Obama’s approval below 50%. It seems some of the 52% of voters who were caught up in his color and “da”-finitely not his abilities now want change again.
