Strong countries are supposed to talk to their adversaries to determine where their common interests lie - that according to Barack Obama. Further more, he states that we really have nothing to fear from Cuba, Venezuela, or Iran because they're tiny and that they spend 1/100th of what we spend on military capabilities. Well Barack, well educated man that you are, let's check on the tiny statement. Let's check wikipedia, shall we?
Iran is the eighteenth largest country in the world after Libya and before Mongolia. Its area roughly equals that of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany combined, or slightly less than the state of Alaska.
Oh, did I see Germany in there? Well not to worry, Germany is so small it would never threaten anyone. I guess maybe if they were ever bent on global domination and started attacking their neighbors. Or maybe if they started to pursue nuclear weapons. Or maybe if they ... oh wait, they did those things and we had to sacrifice over 400,000 American lives and almost 4% of the global population while we bombed them back into the stone age.
Barack, this is not the same situation as Regan talking to the USSR. You can not discuss global politics and playing nice with others with countries and dictators that openly sponsor terrorism. I tell you one thing that is not tiny, and that's how naive you are and how dangerous for our country you would be.
Waiting to show Iran our military strength, as you insinuate in your speech, until they have acted would be too late. It is not acceptable for either Israel, the United States, or any other country to suffer the devastating whim of Ahmadinejad when we have the right as a civilized planet to keep him in check.
Barack, America simply can not afford your naive approach to global politics or your wife's lack of pride in our country.
##That's my opinion##
Some commenting on Reverend Jeremiah Wright's style of speech say that his forceful language is designed to solicit discussion and to make people think. If that is the case, then I believe that Ann Coulter hit the proverbial nail on the head with Throw Grandma Under the Bus. She states correctly that discrimination against white people is not only legal, but that it is also mandatory in some instances such as employment and University enrollment. She also very plainly states that Barack Obama gives Rev Wright a pass while essentially calling his grandmother a racist.Barack has attempted to position himself as the candidate that is beyond race and as a unifying force for all America. As he said in his 2004 DNC keynote address, ...there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America.
Well, be careful what you wish for as the door has now been opened to discuss racism by all races, not just "typical white people". I believe that we can move beyond race as a country. I also believe that people like Rev Wright are the main obstacle to doing so.##That's my opinion##
I don't think that Hillary is lying - seriously. In order to tell a lie you have to know what is true and what is false and then deliberately present the falsehood as truth. I don't believe that Hillary Clinton is capable now, if she ever was, of telling the difference between truth and lies. I believe that she is so hard-wired to manipulate the political situation that her only compass now is political advantage. The truth is a nasty little detail that she has no use for, unless by some mad coincidence it happens to go her way.That being said, let's take a look at the "List of Lies" presented by someone who should know, Dick Morris. My personal favorite, "She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke". Yea right. And to borrow from Dennis Miller commenting on Hillary's book Living History, if she doesn't have the good sense to know that slick Willy is cheating, then she sure doesn't have the mental prowess to be President.And what the heck was Barack thinking? Jeremiah Wright is not a racist and has never said anything anti-American? Where have you been Barack? You admitted to attending that church for 20 years. You never heard him say or heard anyone talking about Rev. Wright saying any of those hateful things?What disturbs me the most is that if Barack were Republican, there would be a firestorm of press coverage 24/7 and calls for Congressional hearing for misconduct. The elite media in the United States is so in the tank for the Democrats that you have to have a kool aid iv drip to not notice. How can anyone support a man for President that has the complete lack of judgement to sit in Rev. Wright's church for 20 years. This type of hate speech certainly sheds a new light on Michelle Obama's comment that for the first time in her adult life she is proud to be an American. If she has found it so intolerable to be an American, let me be the first to invite her to take her leave. The world is a mighty big place and it's full of America haters where she should feel right at home - or should I say Wright at home.##That's my opinion##
