[Angry Update] Spineless Obama Gets Served, Again

(Updated and bumped up from late night Saturday, and again from Sunday afternoon.)

It’s because I’m new and special!, PBO thinks, that Noriega omitted me from his rant! Today, at the Summit of the Americas, President Obama listened to “a 50-minute diatribe from socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that lashed out at a century of what he called terroristic U.S. aggression in Central America and included a rambling denunciation of the U.S.-imposed isolation of Cuba’s Communist government.”

Obama’s response? “I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three ayers-smonths old. Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. We’ve all heard these arguments before.” (The inference is that, with him now at the helm, America’s no threat anymore! We won’t make Noriega, Chavez, Castro et al. hate America anymore! They’ll love us with ME in charge! Love conquers all! Especially with despots!)

Billy Ayers and Bernie Dohrn must be besides themselves with joy! “Didn’t we train him well! And all those frequent, long dinners with Rashid Khalidi helped too!” (They pump their fists in the air.) “Down with the superpower! All power to the people and despots! May the empire crumble!”

***************************************

Earlier Saturday, I wrote “Hey Barack, Press Coverage Ain’t Respect,” and you all joined in with thoughtful comments on Obama’s lack of backbone and his representation of the United States as a weakening power on the world stage. Tonight, I finally got a chance to watch Greta’s Friday night show, and was astounded to hear this:

Furthermore, Greta and Gingrich point out that Obama’s past words don’t have ANY meaning. Obama sometimes talks tough, but there is no follow-through. What he said in February means nothing in April.

This is a “very shallow administration that follows very shallow policies.”

Amen, Speaker Gingrich.

Without requisite respect, and without a judiciously applied instillation of fear, we have no ability to influence world policies or to corral the actions of despots like Chavez and Kim Jong Il.

Obama doesn’t scare them, and they openly ridicule him. Jake Tapper made that clear in his piece that I quoted earlier, and which he has renamed “Chavez Gifts Obama With Book That Assails U.S. for Exploiting Latin America.” It’s a tragedy to see our status as the world’s superpower being systematically dismantled by an ignorant, self-aggrandizing weakling. (Then there’s that they know how well he was trained by Billy, Bernie, and Rashid. Ah, that is working so very well.)

I confess that I used to find crowds’ chant of “U.S.A., U.S.A.” to be superficial — as somewhat over-the-top patriotic theater.

But now I see it as U.S. citizens’ last-gasp cry to save our country, both internally and externally as a force to be reckoned with.

Gingrich says it. We are “frightened” by the mammoth debt with which Obama is saddling us and future generations. We are terrified that other nations and leaders are losing respect for the U.S. along with the appropriate modicum of fear that we STAND for something, and that we will ACT.

Hey, as a “Hillary Democrat,” I never thought I’d say I agree with Newt Gingrich but, dammit, the man is telling it like it is. And I wish every American could hear those critically important words.

Although she could never say it, I bet Hillary privately agrees with what Gingrich said. President Hillary Clinton would have never greeted Chavez with a s–t-eating grin and made a big deal out of being so warm towards him. (Billy Ayers and Bernie Dohrn must be lovin’ it though.)

Even CNN’s David Gergen said Obama’s smiles were too much.

And Hillary — I know it in my bones — would not have introduced a nearly $4 trillion budget at a time when our economy is in peril. Someone named A. and I exchanged e-mails tonight. I wrote to A:

I’m still worried about the economy. I think these positive signs are fake. Like Citibank’s numbers, which LD wrote about — it’s going up in the morning. And I’m convinced that Hillary wouldn’t have pushed so many big-ticket budget items while we are still in the midst of an economic crisis, and our tax revenues are going to be way down due to unemployment!

Then A. replied:

Re. Hillary: I have NO doubt she would have handled the budget and the spending differently. She would probably have gone ahead with the stimulus money but definitely would have NOT added the billions and billions to our debt PBO did in his budget. She would have been much more prudent and responsible with the spending. I also have NO doubt she would have behave very differently with Chavez, Kim Jong Il, Abdullah, etc. No question about it.

Someone posted these pictures: look at Hillary’s face: it says it all. No bull.

I feel she is carrying water for PBO and against her instincts in many issues like Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, etc. She’d have certainly not gone around the world doing “The Apology Tour” PBO is doing. And I bet you she would have gotten the Europeans (Sarkozy and Merkel) to collaborate with her substantially on Af/Pak. After all these months since early June I keep on shaking my head over and over and over…

Right on, sister.
