"Just because he won't face it -- or even answer questions about it -- doesn't mean the rest of us must ignore it...America is in trouble, and Obama can't be counted on to save her."
- Michael Goodwin
I like being an American. But it appears it's becoming taboo to say such a thing. I honestly feel a little trembling in my knees when I start to think of the implications of that.
President Obama refuses to take note of the climate in this country. Rather, he doubles down with his head in the sand and continues forward. The rest of us are shrugging our shoulders going, "What just happened!?" It seems Twilight Zone-ish. I just can't really fathom what's happening, and I'm left wondering why we don't have a mutiny on our hands...yet. I think it's coming this Fall...but that's another post...
Michael Goodwin, in his Op Ed about Obama's "accomplishments" said it better than I can:
[Obama] speaks softly to foreign adversaries and uses the big stick on American dissenters...
Iran and Syria are wooed endlessly with carrots, apologies and promises of grand bargains. They respond with taunts and threats and pay no penalty...
The Mexican president comes to Washington and berates American citizens for expressing their views through the democratic process, and Obama shamefully nods in agreement...
A State Department aide apologizes to China -- to China! -- about our treatment of illegal immigrants...
Meanwhile, American "fat-cat bankers" and "greedy" doctors and sundry opponents are demonized as enemies of the state. They respond by sullenly surrendering the health-care and financial industries to Big Government...
Obama has made two fundamental decisions, and both are making us weaker. He is putting America on bended knee around the world, and he is centralizing in the political class more and more power over the domestic economy.
If you think someone else is going to stand up and demand accountability and real change, you're wrong. It's got to be you and me, or it's going to be nobody.
