Obama Did Not Do Enough In The Last Debate
Oct 23, 2012 Political
The final presidential debate was on foreign affairs and it was a snoozer when compared to the first two. Those two featured both candidates going after each other. The final debate showed Barack Obama channeling Joe Biden in petulant behavior.
Obama attacked Romney and was condescending toward him. One would not know that Obama was speaking to an accomplished businessman some 15 years his senior. It appeared to me as if Obama felt he was speaking to someone beneath him.
Mitt Romney was low keyed and agreed a number of times with Obama but he acted more presidential. I think this was his strategy for the debate. Romney knew Obama would try to paint him as a war monger who was stuck in the Cold War era. Romney would have none of it and stayed above the fray.
Obama won the debate on points but lost it on style and that is what mattered in this debate. With a terrible economy the people of this country are more concerned with that rather than foreign policy. It helped Romney greatly that he was able to bring our national security back to the economy. Obama cannot counter attacks on the economy because he has done nothing to make it better. It does not help Obama when he continues to scream that the math in Romney’s plan does not add up and that it will not lower the deficit. Obama wants us to believe that he is the one who can lower the deficit despite the fact that he has added to it in each of his four years to the tune on nearly 5 TRILLION dollars. Obama is hollow on this issue.
Obama is falling in the polls and there is a risk to his campaign that one state after another will fall into Romney’s column and this includes states that are traditionally blue. Mitt Romney is beginning to pull even or ahead in states that Obama felt little need to defend so much so that he has had to pull out of those he thought he could win in order to defend those he should easily win.
During the last debate Barack Obama needed to score a big win. He needed a knockout punch in order to stem the tide of states moving toward Romney. Obama did not get that knock out punch. He might have won the battle but the win was marginal and therefore he might end up losing the war.
As an aside, the fact checkers found about 15 items that Obama was not truthful about. It is unlikely he made mistakes or misspoke so I can only conclude that he deliberately lied to the American people.
On 6 November we can end this nightmare that is Obama and put adults back in charge of our nation.
After watching Joe Biden and Barack Obama it will be a breath of fresh air to see adults in charge once again.
One last thing. Obama spoke as if he cares about our military. If he cares so much why are he and his Democrats across the nation working had to deny the vote to our service members? If you were going to sit this one out please go to the polls and vote for the military members who are being denied the very thing they fight to protect. Vote Romney for their sake.
Let’s do it for the troops.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Can’t Secure His Donation Website So…
Oct 22, 2012 Political
What Makes You Think He Can Secure This Nation Or Its Assets?
Tonight there will be a debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and the topic will be foreign policy. It remains to be seen if the moderator will be an impartial director or an Obama surrogate like Candy Crowley but in any event, Romney has a great opportunity to clean Obama’s clock.
Why?
Because Barack Obama has failed in the foreign policy arena and he has failed to provide security for this country. He runs around claiming he killed Osama bin Laden and that act has al-Qaeda on the run and in disarray. Then the attack in Libya happened and obliterated the al-Qaeda claim because it was that terror group that murdered our citizens. The subsequent cover-up has been a disaster and has demonstrated why Obama and his regime MUST go away.
Let’s look at reality. Obama was dragged off a golf course to watch our military get Bin Laden using polices from the Bush administration that Obama opposed. Obama claimed we don’t spike the football and then has mentioned the Bin Laden killing dozens of times during his reelection bid. After Libya the Obama regime claimed that some obscure movie caused the attack when, if we are to accept this spontaneous riot meme, the constant droning about Bin Laden probably caused the murders. In any event, the movie maker remains behind bars, his freedom taken because Obama is more interested in protecting his own job than protecting the First Amendment right of the movie maker.
It is obvious that Obama has failed in the security arena. The security of our nation and its assets is a BIG job and Obama is not up to the task. Let us look at a microcosm of Obama security; the security of his donation website.
The Obama donation website is not secure. It is set up so that anyone from any place using fraudulent information can donate. Foreigners have deliberately donated to his campaign using obviously phony information in order to show that anyone can donate. It is a violation of our law for campaigns to knowingly solicit or accept donations from foreign sources and yet, Obama routinely does this. In 2008 Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs ran a number of detailed posts exposing illegal donations to Obama when he first ran for office. This was ignored by the MSM and those in charge of enforcing our laws.
As an aside, the same people who made illegal donations to Obama tried doing so to Mitt Romney and their donations were rejected because they failed to pass industry standard security measures that Romney uses and Obama does not.
Barack Obama does not require credit card users to supply the security code from the card. His site does not check the address registered to the card to the one provided and therefore his lax security allows him to receive illegal donations.
If Barack Obama cannot secure something as simple as his donation website how can anyone expect him to provide adequate security for the nation and its assets?
But Big Dog, it benefits Obama to have lax security on his website. Yes, and it was to his advantage to have lax security at our Libyan Embassy because he needed to show that his support for the change in government there resulted in a safer place.
He failed in that demonstration and four Americans were murdered. If Barack Obama takes credit for the death of Bin Laden then he MUST accept responsibility for the murder of four Americans.
Obama’s foreign policy incompetence resulted in the murder of four Americans in Libya. This was not the first foreign policy that resulted in the murder of Americans. Obama’s Fast and Furious resulted in the murder of Americans as well.
Obama is involved in a cover up of the failure of his regime to secure our people and our assets. He has engaged in lying and deception and has been aided by a compliant media (ala Candy Crowley) that is more interested in helping him get reelected than it is in reporting on the failures that led to the murders of our citizens and the subsequent cover up.
Let’s recap. Barack Obama ignored a number of requests of for added security in Libya. He ignored the requests even though every other nation closed shop in Libya. He ignored those requests even though the Red Cross packed up and left. He ignored those requests even though our Embassy had been attacked several times in the past year. He ignored the requests even though the anniversary of 9/11/01 was on the horizon.
He ignored those requests and people died.
In the last debate Obama said he was offended that people would call him and his regime into question regarding this issue. Really?
Let me say this Mr. Obama. Given that your incompetence led to the murder of four Americans and given that you have been involved in a cover up of what happened I hope you will understand that I don’t give a damn what offends you.
We cannot trust Obama to do something as simple as secure his donation website so why would we expect him to be able to handle the complex security required of our nation and its assets?
Remember in November.
Obama MUST go…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Throws Race into the Race
Jun 21, 2008 Political
Barack Hussein Obama has thrown race into the general election by claiming that Republicans will work to cause fear about his funny middle name, his inexperience and, oh he is black. This is a slick tactic because Obama has lumped his extreme lack of experience with two issues that most people, including Republicans, find inconsequential. No one cares about his color and his middle name is just something to have fun with, so by putting experience with them he is telling people that it does not matter either.
“It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy,” Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. “We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid.
“They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?” al-Reuters
Barry O Bam Bam is the one who has thrown race into the issue. By mentioning it he has given himself and his supporters license to question ANYTHING as racist if it is unfavorable to their Messiah. He raised the race issue for this very reason. He wants to be able to incite people and infuriate them because of race. Keep in mind that the Republican Party has engaged him very little so far. He has been in an extended primary and all the racist attacks came from Democrats. The truth is, many of them were from Obama supporters and people he considered his friends and mentors. His pastor has used more racial BS during this season than most others will and certainly more than any Republican.
Obama eased into this tact by claiming Republicans would not be able to to defend their stewardship of the economy or outstanding foreign policy. The economy is not that bad. It is certainly not as bad as everyone on the left makes it out to be. The major issue that people see and relate to the economy is the cost of gasoline. The Democrats are the reason we are paying so much for gas. They refuse to lift the moratorium on drilling and they (including the RINO John McCain) refuse to allow drilling in one of the most barren places on the planet. It is the Democrats who are the economic disasters in this country. If Bill Clinton had signed the ANWR drilling into law we would have been getting oil from there right now. The economy cannot be very bad because Obambi does not take money from PACs, special interests and lobbyists (that is what he says) so how is it he has raised $250,000? How could all those poor Democrats afford so much money in such a bad economy?
As for foreign policy, the first and most important thing a President can do is ensure that we are safe. We have not been attacked since 9/11 and if the methods we used to ensure this rankle other countries then too bad. The foreign policy of appeasement and cowardice is what caused 9/11 and it was a Democrat who gave that to us. Obama will follow the same path. Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton are names associated with incidents that tested this country and showed us as weak. Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Iran Hostage Crisis, and Somalia were brought to you by Democrats. What disaster will Obama’s policy of appeasement bring to our country. Will another Republican have to follow a Democrat and clean up the mess?
I will not vote for Obama and it has nothing to do with his color. I do not agree with his policies and I do not believe in his politics so that is why I will not be voting for him. Skin color is not something I would use to decide on who I will vote for though there are many blacks (some of them Republicans) who might vote for Obambi just because he is black. I hold my principles in a higher regard than to vote for someone who I think will be bad for my country. I took and oath to protect and defend this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic. My allegiance is to the country and the Constitution and my votes always reflect who I think will be the best steward of those two things.
If that makes me a racist then so be it.
UPDATE: From American Thinker [Clarice Feldman]: LTC Allen West released this in reference to Obama’s statement.
My advice to Senator Obama is to run as a Man and Leader, and the American people will evaluate you as such, not as a victim. This is a Presidential race, based solely on a capacity to lead the United States of America. It is not about skin tone…however, perhaps we should come to expect these immature statements.
It also seems rather humorous that the Presidential candidate who was supposed to be such a “uniter” and transcend race is the one talking about it the most. If Senator Obama was confident in his abilities and character, he would not need to create a crutch for failure. Senator Obama has just tipped his hand, any criticism of him and his policies will be directly attributed to racism. I congratulate Senator Obama for taking race relations in America back some 30 years.
LTC West is running for a Congressional seat in Florida’s 22nd District.

Why Are the Democrats So Touchy?
May 15, 2008 Political
The Democrats are up in arms over remarks that President Bush made while in Israel celebrating that country’s 60th anniversary. The President was speaking about terrorists, an appropriate subject given who surrounds Israel, when he made remarks that got the Democrat’s panties in a wad:
In his speech, Bush said: “Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.” The Crypt
Immediately the Democrats assumed that Bush was taking a veiled swipe at Obama who has advocated talking to terrorists. In fact, many people and countries have held this particular belief. France and Germany believed that talking was in order as did many Democrats as they moved to distance themselves from their vote to go to war. I would be remiss if I did not mention Jimmy Carter (who would be a more likely target) and his terrorist ties. But it was Obama, they say, who was attacked.
Why are the Democrats so touchy? Is it because they know that Obama lacks foreign policy experience? Why did they assume that Bush was talking about him when there are so many to whom the statement applies? Obama immediately went on the defensive and was supported by Joe Biden (a man with a great deal of foreign policy experience), Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Rahm Emanuel who all criticized the President. I think they are a bit touchy because they know that Bush was right and Obama is wrong. They took it to heart because that is what Obama believes and has said.
Two other interesting pieces from the article:
The White House insists that Bush was “referring to a wide range of people, not any single person.” But Obama’s campaign says it appeared to be a swipe at him, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that Bush’s remarks were “beneath the dignity of the office of the president and unworthy of our representation” at the celebration of Israel’s 60th anniversary.
~snip~
As Pelosi was speaking, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued a statement in which he said: “The tradition has always been that when a U.S. president is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water’s edge. President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head: for this White House, partisan politics now begins at the water’s edge, no matter the seriousness and gravity of the occasion. Does the president have no shame?”
The President was completely correct and Speaker Pelosi’s reaction only confirms my suspicion that she knows Obama is weak in that area and that he is wrong on the subject. They know he is weak and they are trying to protect him. Emanuel is way out of line. Pelosi and an endless line of Democrats have gone to exotic places like Syria and talked badly about President Bush’s policies. Pelosi broke the law by performing the job of the State Department, an Executive Branch department.
I would let Adam down if I did not take my obligatory swipe at Bill Clinton. He did his protesting in a foreign nation as a college student and has not been shy in his criticisms of our current president regardless of where Bill happens to be at the time.
There was a story earlier that indicated the Republicans would attack Obama on his lack of foreign policy experience. From the visceral reaction to the President’s statement I’d say they might be on to something.
