Why isn't Obama saying anything about the violence taking place in Syria? Even our embassy in Damascus is closing shop and the workers moving out for their own safety. Why is Assad being allowed to follow in his father's footsteps with this relentless slaugher? Obama has made it clear that we will not intervene on behalf of Syria and while Obama reached out to Assad, asking him to cool it, people were still dying in the streets. This is a bummer for Obama because when it comes to countries of Islamic pursuasion, Obama gets as much respect as a JC Penny door guard on Black Friday.
Obama has ordered new sanctions on Iran, using nonmilitary means to pressure them into giving up their nuclear goals. He believes he can show them that it is not in their national interests to have nukes, but to actually convince them of this would require that he prove to them that they really love Israel and wish them no harm, and that Mohammad was a pedophile whose behavior was repugnant. He has as good a chance of doing that as Ahmadinejad has of winning America's Got Talent.
Obama is doing everything he can to acquire the release of Sam LaHood and his coworkers incarcerated in Egypt. Everything he can means that he is doing what he has done to improve the economy--he has made speeches. He makes fine speeches but that's where it ends. Let's hope his leadership has the same outcome.
On the home front, another bummer for Obama is the Catholic Church. He has demanded that Catholic healthcare institutions provide contraception and abortion services for women, in spite of the fact that this goes against the religious beliefs of the Church. This may come back to bite him on his butt in the election, but I suspect he will back off from this when he realizes it will hurt his chances--let's face it--Obama has only one real principal and that's to get re-elected. Bishops are saying that religious liberty is in jeopardy in this country. Why must Catholics, or anyone, for that matter, have to pay for the contraception for others? On an individual basis, contraception is not expensive, and it isn't fair to expect the Church to give up their beliefs and sense of morals because Obama is a secular socialist.
Obama's claim that there is a decrease of the middle class is simply unfounded. It's a fact that those Americans born in the lower 20% will more likely not end up being in the lowest 20%. He fails to see the fluidity of the socioeconomic classes and has tried his best to blame the richest Americans. To hear his message one would think that the upper class got there at the expense of the lower class, but this is poppycock, which is the British equivalent of bulls**t. And speaking of bulls**t, isn't that what Obama is all about?
Peace out my fellow Americans.
If you are interested in terrorism and suspense, I have provided 2 links (below) for a hard copy (soft cover) edition and an eBook edition of my latest novel, Jihad Joe. It's a story about Zed Nill, a New York based reporter, taken hostage by Islamic terrorists. He must escape, or be beheaded the following day . . . the clock is ticking.
