IN Nov. 2007 OBAMA SAID (click on link) The Day I'm Inaugurated Muslim Hostility Will Ease...
Last week, Muslim mobs took to the streets to murder
the American ambassador in Libya and three
of his staffers. American embassies were
attacked from Egypt to Yemen.
Embarrassed White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice insisted that these assaults were
just reactions to an insensitive video circulating on the Internet that
disparaged Islam. As embassies burned,
we were assured that there was no animosity directed at America
in general, or at this administration and its foreign policy in
particular.
I know bullshit when I see it and I think most of us
do. The weeks-old video was a mere
pretext, in the manner of the Danish cartoons that Islamists use to stir up
mobs in their war against the West. The street rioting was long ago
synchronized across the Middle East to celebrate the
11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Apparently, the administration was left stunned and without
a clue about the latest Middle East madness even though
they were warned three days in advance.
President Obama chose not to support nearly a million
Iranian dissidents in 2009. Then, two
years later, he belatedly offered encouragement to the revolutionaries who
overthrew Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak.
Following the murders of Ambassador Chris Stevens and a number of Americans, the liberal media raced to the presses to inform us all that Mitt Romney had spoken out about the attacks — and Obama’s mishandling thereof — inappropriately.
The violence abroad — in concert with rapidly declining American prestige —clearly demonstrates that Obama has no more skill in the foreign arena than he has on the domestic front.
Yet the desperate distractions continue, and will until November. Even as the liberal media stagger from deserved criticism for their deliberate attempts to recast the Libyan atrocities (aided, as they were, by Obama policies that left Stevens and his fellow victims virtually defenseless), they have spun back for their masters in the Obama Administration.
As the week began, a six month old recording of Romney surfaced through the far left slums of the media. Leaked by the grandson of the previous worst President and eternal national embarrassment Jimmy Carter, the tape supposedly reveals Romney writing off campaigning for the votes of 47 percent of the populace — a group he refers to as “dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.”
Although Romney’s remarks are entirely accurate, the Democrats and the media — who saw nothing worth criticizing in Obama infamous God and guns smear — have deployed condemnation of Romney’s statement as yet another deflection from the chaos that has consumed the Mideast.
Romney thinks too many Americans have sold their souls to the empty promises of unquantifiable “hope and change.” Romney knows that striving for the votes of people who are still backing Obama amid the veritable misery he has inflicted on not only our Nation but members of his own Administration is a waste of resources.
Even now, Obama and Romney are racing neck and neck for the White House. Neither seems to be able to claw his way past the 50 percent mark. It would appear that somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of the actual electorate remains undecided.
Romney can either devote resources targeting the 47 percent who are sticking with Obama through record unemployment, record national debt, Operation Fast and Furious, “quantitative easing” and the train wreck of a foreign policy Obama has conducted; or he can acknowledge the 47-percenters exist, target instead those who are receptive to his campaigning and play to win.
In a recent Obama presser, not one reporter asked about Stevens and his fellow martyrs. No one queried about Obama’s decision to leave them exposed. No one even asked about the rising anti-American violence in the Mideast. One reporter did ask whether Obama was privy to updates from Afghanistan (which is taking a similar turn for the worse); and another asked about the President’s golf game.
No one even approached the as yet barely reported story that Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius brazenly violated the Hatch Act. That would normally result in termination, but apparently earns the violator applause in an Administration so bereft of respect for the law that the Attorney General has been found in both criminal and civil contempt of Congress — another disgrace that should have earned the violator a stretch in the pokey. The corporate media even got caught coordinating their questions for Romney.
However, while the Democrats try to keep us focused on what Romney’s saying, I can’t help but notice what Obama and his media minions aren’t saying.
