The White House – A Home to America Haters

While people have accused President Obama of being a Muslim and have questioned whether or not he was born in the United States, these charges have yet to be proved. One thing that remains rather obvious and unchanged is his disdain for the America we know and love. Our president is constantly apologizing for what he perceives as our “offences.” He is in agreement with dictators, terrorists, European socialists, Greenpeace, Hamas, and a whole host of others, assuring them that he will no longer be at odds with their goals. Naturally, they love him for it.

On September 17, 2007 while campaigning in Iowa, ABC news featured a clip of four Democrat candidates as the National Anthem was being played. All but Mr. Obama placed their right hand over their hearts—Mr. Obama’s hands were folded in front of him. He explained that his grandfather told him to only place his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. His wife made her stance perfectly clear through a statement in February, 2008 to the effect that for the first time in her adult life, she was proud of this country. When Obama stopped wearing the flag pin, he explained that he would show his patriotism in another way: “Instead, I will tell you what will make this country great.” True to his word, he is constantly “telling us” that we must abandon our freedoms and embrace a life of government dependency. Conversely, our founders envisioned what would become the “land of opportunity.” Obama would take away all incentive to succeed and replace that zeal with a desire to be taken care of. And, with the help of his Democrat colleagues in the congress and his all-powerful appointees, he is well on his way to making it happen.

Many of President Obama’s appointees and cohorts openly admire communists such as Mao, Castro, Marx, and Chavez, to name a few. He is the poster boy for an educational system and a national press rife with these same views. He is more than willing to see gas prices soar to over $5.00 a gallon through excessive taxation and by denying exploration and development of the vast natural gas and oil resources throughout our land. He would replace the use of fossil fuels with unproven methods that aren’t even on the drawing boards. We are promised that such pie-in-the sky methods will bring needed jobs. But how can our economy be fueled or jobs created without reliable and readily available energy sources?

Every crisis becomes an opportunity to take away still more rights of the individual. BP’s Horizon rig explosion was probably welcomed as a means to flex his muscle in an unusual way—by doing NOTHING. Actually this “nothing” has kept Bobby Jindal waiting for federal approval to take the actions necessary to protect his state and willing international vessels with expert crews from helping to clean up the mess. Within two weeks after the disaster, experts from at least 12 countries had offered their help. Our government replied: “…While there is no need right now that the United States cannot meet, the U.S. Coast Guard is assessing these offers of assistance to see if there will be something which we need in the future.” The coast guard and the president are still waiting for some unknown entity to ask that the 1920 Jones Act be suspended. Funny, within two weeks after Katrina, George Bush was able to provide this much needed waiver. Why Obama’s hesitancy? You’d think he would like to get the mess cleaned up and put people back to work in a timely fashion. The only logical explanations for his hesitancy are that (1) he did not want to offend his union backers by allowing outside experts to perform the necessary cleanup and (2) he needed time to stir up sentiment for imposing severe environmental and drilling restrictions. He is perfectly willing to do nothing and let the problems multiply exponentially while playing the blame game. BP is certainly at fault but rather than working with them to solve the problem, he has actually threatened to nationalize BP—a tactic normally used only by communist dictators. Hmm?

He alienates, insults, and snubs our friends (Poland, Honduras, Britain, Israel, and Georgia, to name a few) while catering to the demands of Russia and China. Obama’s sympathies are with Israel’s enemies and cabinet level appointees call Jerusalem “Al Qatar.” Homeland Security and State Department officials refuse to even read the Arizona immigration law while ICE provides illegal aliens with luxury accommodations while they await a short-lived return to Mexico. I admit to being unable to listen to all his rambling lectures. (Where are the press conferences?) But he has not, to my knowledge, been reported as saying anything complimentary about our constitution, our founding fathers, or our history. Instead, he calls us “colonialists.” I rest my case.
