“It’s not about Obama, it’s about issues.” That’s the Democratic spin to flip the havoc of losing “blue” state gubernatorial seats in Virginia and New Jersey.
But Obama’s foundering policies are the issues. Just to name a few, there’s the proposed health care reform disaster, the gaggle of unapproved czars usurping the U.S. Constitution by commandeering businesses and capping salaries, the out-of-control printing of unsecured paper money for “bailouts,” most of which are on their second run, and preparing to tamper with the country’s energy system on the basis of Al Gore’s false ecoprognostications.
And the scariest “issue” is Obama’s foreign policy ambivalence. It’s a debacle. He’s “fiddling while our national security burns.” Former ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, writes in the “Imprimis” October 2009: “Our adversaries around the world are not standing idly by while we debate these domestic issues . . . people like Kim Jong Il doesn’t care about (them). We need a president who is going to provide us with leadership in international affairs — not one who believes that America should simply come home. And we need a president who believes that the best place to defend our interest is overseas rather than in the streets of America.”
Clearly, Barack H. Obama is “in over his head.” May God have mercy on us for the next three years!
