He OR She Will Be the Next President

It's been awhile since I've posted, but here is an article written shortly after my last post, from the American Thinker, called "Another Failed Presidency"

It's hard to believe that this was written in August, only a few months after this presidency began. What's crazy is, considering the Olympic debacle, foreign policy at the United Nations and vs. Iran, (no doubt you can think of other events), the train wreck keeps piling up.

Some words on each of these events:
Last week Obama flew off to Copenhagen to see if he could get the Olympics for Chicago.

(National Review Online Commented)

Not only was the cost of the trip enormously expensive, but the worst thing about this is there are hugely greater concerns for the US right now, namely, Iran's nuclear ambitions.

At the United Nations, Obama apologized for our nation once again (unnecessary, as we're mostly unapologetic). Anyone who doesn't realize that every nation looks out for its own interests is a fool, and Obama should be looking out for this nation's interest. He's not.

You'll notice that many (including the one who wrote the article above) were convinced that Obama must have had the Olympics in the bag already to make the ill-advised flight to Copenhagen.

But HE DIDN'T GET THEM! He thought that his own love of self would be dazzling enough to get the Olympic committee to forget the years of efforts by other nations to get the Olympics.

I'd say that his trip was not much better than the ambulance driver with a critical patient going two miles out of the way and going through the drive through for a burger before going to the hospital. And then forgetting the sack at the drive-through!

The Olympic debacle wasn't the main issue though: he's got bigger fish to fry than the Olympics. Forget that the Olympics are like an economic black hole for anyone who gets them; we're better off without them.

Iran will go nuclear, and if they are on track to have weapons during the Obama presidency, they will have them-and likely use them-before Obama lifts a finger to stop them.

Have I mentioned that he wants to reduce our nuclear stockpile? Here's a hint: nuclear stockpiles are not actually for bombing nations into oblivion. They're a deterrent. (If you are a thug, are you going to bother the fellow with a machine gun, or without a machine gun?)

And don't forget how his talk at the United Nations was an abysmal failure. Even Libya's Kadafi, (spell it any way you want) knows he can stroke Obama's ego in safety; he need not cower as he did in the days of George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan. The American electorate replaced the lion with a housecat last year.

Did I hear Obama say that people were fleeing the islands due to climate change? What?! That's one of the most outlandish lines I've heard in years. What planet is he living on? Are we on the same one?

And, having forfeited foreign policy all the Democrats have forgotten that if you fail abysmally in that arena, you'd better think about the economy, because that is the only thing that can save you electorally.

Here's a strategy hint for anyone who wants to run against B.O.

Correct these outrageously simple mistakes:
Economically: Focus on cutting government spending and reducing taxes.
Foreign policy: Always look out for America's interests, and definitely, "Drill baby, drill."

But by all means, do one more crucially important thing, and here's my prediction for the one who does it. My prediction is that if you can find a candidate to run against Barack Obama who has a positive, hopeful vision of America, who can connect with the American people on that, someone who articulates his love for America time and time again, he OR she will be the next American president.

One more thing: the candidate also needs to be dismissive of the media. Always remember Reagan's line when these buffoons start caterwauling: "There he goes again."

I think many of us are tired of being brow-beaten about the environment (it's not the crisis they make it out to be), tired of our government constantly meddling in our lives, while not paying attention to the dangerous world around us.

In the meantime, there's one thing Obama could do to save his presidency. Make a 180 on his view of America. Believe me. It won't happen. You can't stop the momentum of an ego that big, and it's headed for the iceberg. -Cal Samuel August
