Obama and the Deliberate Decline of America
Since when did America apologize for defending itself against madmen who kill in the name of God and give us advance notice of their impending carnage? In his Cairo speech delivered in June 2009, Obama said he was “honored” to be in a country from which many 9/11 terrorists came.
Then our president criticized American democracy and freedom and promised radical Muslims they could come to expect a less aggressive defender of “peace through strength.” Obama roared to cheers from Cairo: “9/11 was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our ideals. We are taking concrete actions to change course. . . So America will defend itself, respectful of the sovereignty of nations and the rule of law.”
This speech combined with Obama’s subsequent lack of engagement during the Arab Spring, as dictators were toppled in Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, and Egypt, and his do nothing approach to Iran and Syria was an invitation to radical Islamists to commit the events of this past week. Islamic madmen have been given a license to kill our diplomats, deface our embassies and burn our flag because we have a president who has indicated from the start his disdain for America’s strength in the world, it’s superpower.
When Iran held rigged elections in 2009, Iranians stormed the streets in protests, what did Obama do? Nothing. When Iran indicated it would pursue a nuclear program, what did Obama do? Say, give diplomacy a chance.
When Israel repeatedly asked Obama to prove USA was its ally and give Iran a deadline to end its nuclear program, what did Obama do? Nothing. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said America won’t put deadlines on Iran, a terror state that indicates its mission is to destroy Israel. (It is worth noting in Obama’s three and half years in office he has yet to visit Israel, though he professes to have the Israeli’s back.)
When Syrian president Assad began “butchering” 20,000 Syrians almost two years ago, what did Obama do. Nothing.
In her Republican National Convention speech, Condoleeza Rice warned when America fails to lead, chaos ensues and “others who do not share our values will fill the vacuum. My fellow Americans, we do not have a choice. We cannot be reluctant to lead — and one cannot lead from behind.”
Obama abdication of leadership in his foreign policy seems to be deliberately designed “to reduce American power in the world,” as Dinesh D’Souza writes in the Roots of Obama’s Rage. D’Souza traces Obama’s anti-colonist beliefs back to his father and demonstrates how Obama’s foreign policy goal is to level out the global playing field, so America has declining influence in the world. In a 2009 speech in Europe, Obama said “I believe in American exeptionalism just as I suspect the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks in Greek exceptionalism,” (p. 11, Roots of Obama’s Rage).
In his apologist speech in Cairo, Obama revealed his anti-colonial beliefs and seemed to sympathize with Muslim radicals. “More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a cold war in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations.” The subtext of what Obama appeared to be saying was he could understand how years of Muslim nations being oppressed by other nations like America would lead them to such heinous terrorist attacks.
Whether Obama is driven by his father’s anti-colonial worldview that America as been the oppressor of the oppressed and needs to be cut down to size or he’s just in over his head, it’s evident Obama’s isn’t getting the job done. As a result of his incompetence, Obama is making America and the world a less safer place. We can’t afford four more years of this. The question is how will Mitt Romney capitalize on this?
Obama is a weak and inept little man who is in way over his head. Solutions that sound good in a classroom do not work in the real world.
Not sure what your rules are on commenting but I always allow links in comments if they are relevant to the initial post – this one examines Obama’s failures in dealing with the Muslim world and the current riots – If this is not allowed please keep my above comment and just delete this link.

The whole of America is experiencing the contempt that Black America has endured, from Liberals, for more than half a century, conservatively speaking. However, unlike my community (American blacks), the country realizes this enormous error. The correction began in 2010 and will continue, hopefully, for the rest of my living days.
While I applaud your willingness and determination to go against the grain with Obama. Our choice this election is “six of one and half a dozen of the other.” That saying usually is applied to apples,eggs or the like, in this case eggs. What if all rotten? Both(six of one, half dozen) are cage(establishment) bred and their eggs(policy) laid in the cage. Not cage free, naturally fed (American Dream) contestants. The cage(establishment) determines the condition, not real clean. The cage thinks it be in control, whether subjugation by marxist, islamic, or mormon rule. All three professes/or professed world rule…see World Government at Wikipedia. They know they can’t control “the Great Commission”, free will, accepted responsibility and liberty. The cage, proprietors, will use whatever…a movie to rial or a MSM channel to comfort, subdue and control.
The problem of a level playing field, is everyone will then fight to get on top, which is fine in a football field, but incredibly dangerous in world politics. Obama is a weak leader, and a strong ideologue, which makes him a danger not only to this country, but too our allies as well. Wake up, America!
The question is: who will stop Obama?
It won’t be Romney. It won’t be “congress”, they are irrelevant. It won’t be the Supremes; they are essentially rubber-stampers.
It will be the American people – or he won’t be stopped at all.
The only reason we don’t still have segregation is because of the civil rights movement. Americans today as a nation are through our laziness and sloth going backward – not just to allowing government to rule us through laws such as segregation – but we are going ALL THE WAY BACK to the Plantation.
“For evil to triumph it is only necessary that good men do nothing”. Edmund Burke
I’ve read the Koran twice, three biographies on the Prophet Mohammed, and about half of the Hadith. I’ve lived with Iranians and my current best friend is a Palestinian Muslim. I’ve given none of them an inch of slack when wrong is wrong. I’ve had a lot of arguments, but we can do this in America for now. In a Muslim country, I’d have been executed decades ago. The facts are that the Koran is the “words of God” and there are many verses which tell Muslims to “seize (infidels) and slay them”. There are over 160 verses advocating violence for the sake of Islam. This is not up for interpretation and there is no debate allowed. You can’t change it or make it better. These are direct commands from a war-god. You cannot hope or change that with Barack Obama or anyone else. Anyone who believes that a globalist like Obama can smooth this over is exceptionally foolish. Islam is at war with the world. It is a forever war. They kill you because Allah told them to kill you. Nothing alters or modifies that. I’ve had friends burst into tears and when I asked them what was the matter? They said, “It will break my heart when I have to kill you.” This is THE truth. Forget everything else you’ve ever heard. The news lies to you for ratings. They are not interested in the truth. They are keffers (those who hide the revelation of Alllah). This is straight from the horse’s mouth. They will weep as they behead you, but they will cut your head off. Judaism was born from slavery. Christianity from oppression. And Islam was born in WAR. War is their natural environment. You really need to read some of this and wrap your brain around it. They are playing for keeps and we’re just playing.
Sura 2 (Baqara) verse 191.
Sura 4 (Nisaa) verse 89.
Sura 4 (Nisaa) verse 91.
Sura 5 (Maida) verse 36.
Sura 9 (Tauba) verse 5.
Good luck. I hope you’ve got the guts and brains to face the awful truth.
Crystal Wright should run for office. I saw her on Cavuto and she was great. She should be a Romney spokesperson. I would support her should she ever decide to run for office.
Obama is a Manchurian candidate sent to assassinate our country. I have no doubt he is a secret Muslim. The man changed everything about himself to project an image to get himself elected. He even changed the cadence of the way he talks to imitate Clinton. If he’s re-elected be prepared to convert or die.
All to forget the economy, no jobs ! Retrain for no jobs. Even security for consulate sent offshore ! Mideast…don’t change commanders in middle of conflict…is that why the turmoil?…O’s cohorts causing trouble now? As far as the 47 %…are they breaking the law to not pay federal taxes…nope…bicameral congress and presidents passed laws so they are legal. So whose to blame? Even I who paid taxes 52 years since 18 won’t have to pay this year…finally finished after all these years. If I don’t croak…could be a moocher though, before it’s all over
How does it feel to get owned by the Reverend? He ate you for lunch! And he doesn’t even look like he eats much anymore.
As a true conservative I think my choices for president are rubbish, as they were last election. With that said, I’ll vote for Romney over Obama without a second thought. I know Romney at least does not hate my country. and understands how to help create private sector jobs. I am also very tired of the dems trying to perpetuate racial conflict. I think their worst fear is all of us getting along and coming at them presenting a united front.
BTW great blog.
I have seen Mr. D’Souza in action thorugh the years. This man is a very convincing misinformation disseminator. Being conservative should not involve stretching/invention of ‘purported’ facts.
I saw a CSPAN two man conversation with Mr. D’Souza and Jonathan Alter. I must say a very ‘lively’ discussion.
Mr. Alter called Mr. D’Souza on a a point where Mr. Alter said that Mr. Souza lied about some point. Mr. D’Souza did finally admit to the falsehood; but then ‘very quickly’ tried to say that the the point in contention was still a ‘fact’ as he had determined it.
When I saw that, my respect for Mr. D’Souza was shattered. He is very intelligent and a very very good advocate for his positions.
I am afraid that with all of the built up experience in dealing with things political (and then the turn of some of those things to nothing but propaganda) that the ‘freedoms’ (especially political) enjoyed here are threatened by some conservatives like Mr. D’Souza.
If anything conservatives should be ever watchful that this most excellent democracy (allowing me to say what I want without fear of retribution). Let’s hope that continues in the zeal to ‘prove points’ and get into ‘power’…
obama will be re-elected because Blacks would rather have a bad black president than a good white president.
latinos would rather have a bad president as long as he/she gives them what they want.
democrats (as well as republicans) just want a WIN!!
If obama were white, it would be a simple matter of…..obama has not gotten the job done….no re-election.
I personally believe America has passed the tipping point of irresponsibility…..
and will not ever completely recover because there is not enough Americans left in the country that are willing to do whatever it takes to restore America to the state past Americans worked and sacrificed to gain.
I don’t think you even believe the things you write. I think you’ve just found a nice way to exploit politics. Sadly facts are not on your side. Again President Obama is being blamed for half a century worth of problems going on in the Middle East. Not one US President in the last 40 years has managed to control the situation in the Middle East. All administrations have had successes and losses. Peace between Israel has been a priority with all US Presidents and we are still trying to bring about that peace. Under past Presidents Islam has grown more fundamental and volatile in many of these countries. Finally moderates are trying to fight for freedom and democracy and you’re mad?!?
Iran Hostage Crisis, Iran Contraband, Gulf War, GWH assassination attempt by OBL, Black Hawk Down, 911, Iraq & Afghan wars, and the Benghazi killing. Sadly Osama Bin Laden has been a big part of the equation from Reagan to President Obama. At least one President made it a priority to stop this man from going into yet another decade of terrorism.
You don’t have to give President credit, and he can be a failure in your opinion. But what you can’t do is write your own facts and selectively leave out history. It works for the partisan who do not want to think, but if you’re just semi-independent in mind, then you know this article is full of amnesia and half-truths.
Reading MGV’s comments is as much fun as watching a bad movie and laughing at the ineptitude! What a hilariously condescending pack of pompous statements all from one source!
If MGV claims Ms Wright is inventing her own facts then MGV should cite specific examples and then offer some “facts” of their own that can be checked.
More nonsense by silly liberal trolls who think their opinions are facts and that if you don’t share their opinions you’re rejecting “the one true worldview.”
Every President inherits long term problems but blaming Bush after 3 years in office is just plain childish and it shows how shallow and inept he is as an executive. And I don’t approve of his handling of the Middle-East nor Israel because he’s made us weaker and more prone to attacks. He’s given Iran more time to make a nuclear bomb than we did making the first one using the technology of the 1930s. On the economy, I hate blaming the President because the economy is not one of his Constitutional duties, but the President does direct so many federal agencies that he can/will/might screw up the marketplace and wreck it. To show you how “IMPERIAL” 0bama is, consider this list of who issued how many executive orders:
Teddy Roosevelt 3
FDR 11 in 16 years
Truman 5 in 7 years
Ike 2 in 8 years
Kennedy 4 in 3 years
LBJ 4 in 5 years
Nixon 1 in 6 years
Ford 3 in 2 years
Carter 3 in 4 years
Reagan 5 in 8 years
Bush 3 in 4 years
Clinton 15 in 8 years
George W. Bush 62 in 8 years
Obama 923 in 3 1/2 years!
Barack Obama thinks he’s the General Secretary of the Union of Socialist States of America! So, yeah, if you act like a pseudo-dictator instead of a Constitutional President, then you get all the blame and rightly so. The man’s got the reverse Midas touch. Everything he touches turns to crap and he can’t keep his hands off of anything.
