The Cost of Things

Well President Obama has officially lost my support. It has nothing at all to do with the economy, nobody would have been a great candidate for this mess.I hear people blame G.W.Bush all the time, as much as I believe he will go down as the worst ever president, he is not alone at fault. It took four Presidents plus to create this mess.
President Obama has shown either extreme ignorance or willful behavior that is detrimental to the United States of America. Where to begin? How about his selection for Homeland Security, on the surface maybe a good selection? The truth is when being "politically correct" over-rides your ability to make a clear judgement call, you lose. Calling clearly terrorist acts " unnatural manmade disasters" is so over the top PC that it should make any clear thinking American very uncomfortable.
How about that wonderful video sent to Iran? Obama is so well studied in Middle eastern and Persian culture that he basically capitulated to the mullahs. Yes, when you extend an "olive branch" the assumption is both sides have the same outlook on what the outcome should be with compromise. When the response is what the new President received from Iran, which was basically , " yes its nice that you have seen the error of your ways and now you must change to suit us", ( my condensed and parsed view of the response) a response filled with self righteous accusations and demands ,showing no contrition you realize that there are very different expectations on both sides. Yes, in cultures in that region what President Obama did was surrender, thank you commander in CHEF, our goose is cooked.
How about bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia? I guess someone forgot to inform him that he was meeting his "peers", leaders of other nations. Since when does our President, the LEADER of this nation bow to ANYONE out of reverence, let alone someone who considers us the "Great Satan" (don't try to tell me that considering the USA the Great Satan is confined to Iran). My personal opinion now is that our President hates what this nation has stood for, I don't believe he is limiting his "corrections" to what GWB43 did. Our President hates America.
How about his choice for chief legal advisor at the State Department Harol Cho, in a speech he gave he seemed to be O.K with sharia law being applied in U.S courts, scary, very scary.
How about no more fire-arms for pilots in the cockpit of passenger jets? Yeah, that was done very quietly, and for what reason? Maybe we can continue to make little old ladies take off their shoes while young men of middle eastern decent are given a pass. Yeah I would hate to rely on my own judgement to stay alive.
How about while speaking in Turkey telling the people there that the EU SHOULD allow Turkey in. Obviously our President knows what's best for France and Germany and the rest of Europe more than those nations do themselves. I have to conclude that if he is O.K with listening to music that denigrates women he must be O.K with honor killings. Not mentioning that Turkey SHOULD recognize it's part in the Armenian genocide was even more telling. I like to call it "developing opinions through lies and half truths". Thus he was ignorant enough to inject his opinion into affairs he knows nothing about, remain silent about things that should be brought to light and address all things that are none of his business as though he were "the answer". It would be very interesting to find out what our Presidents "real" opinion is of himself. I have my suspicions.
So what is it going to cost us to have a President who either has no understanding of foreign affairs or is perfectly willing to sell out this nation to be "in vogue". Will people on US soil die? Will freedoms be sacrificed? Where will it end? Stay tuned....!
