Could Obama Be America's Worst Folly Yet?

World events are a series of "ebbs" and "tides". First up, then down. You could also liken them to two tectonic plates grinding against each other. Sometimes grinding ever so slowly, you barely feel the tremblor. And then there are other times they savagely thrust against one another with such force that no one can escape their notice. Such was the case with Obama's decision to forego the Eastern Europe Missile Defense Program that the former administration had worked on for years. And Mr. Obama's timing couldn't have been more perfect. His decision, bolstered by Defense Secretary Gates, that the U.S. new Missile Defense project would be just as good or better, and his announcement to the world, on the very day, seventy years after the start of WWII and the invasion of Poland and the former Bohemia (in the Czech Republic) by Germany on Sept. 1, 1939 and by the Soviet Union on Sept. 17, 1939. This decision by the United States couldn't have been a better dagger to the heart. One wonders what is driving this man. Could it be his dangerously naieve inexperience in world politics? His just plain horribly inexcusable lack of knowledge at how easily one can be manipulated, played, by cunsters who are much more adroit at the game of oneupsmanship? Being had is not hard to accomplish when the one being had doesn't even have a clue he's being had. That he's being played like a deck of cards, a fine-tuned piano, seduced by the best of the best. By one of the world's best known con artists, the darling of the Eastern chopping block, Vladimir Putin. Obama..." Ah, Mr. Putin, I will have a bottle of your finest Vodka, along with the finest cut of Soviet beef, seared ever so slowly to a medium rare, (that's Obama being seared if you didn't get it) a baked potato with gobs of butter and sour cream, and how 'bout a scrumptious piece of New York Cheescake complicit with succulent, ripe cherries on top"? We all know about them cherries don't we? With heads and hearts together, the two, in a frenzy of political lovemaking, Vladimir, tipsy with another easy conquest, and holding a tipsy and "doesn't have a clue Obama" up, another bottle of "ze" finest Vodka clenched firmly in hand, they saunter off to the nearest hotel to "seal" the deal. Mr. Obama, in his quest to be the best, has now alienated our friends in Eastern Europe who stuck their necks out for us (who trusted us)- bad decision; thrown away this country's reputation as having any concern at all for any other country's freedom or defense of that freedom; and has most certainly emboldened our enemies to where they feel they have been given the green light to continue to go about building their nuclear power plants, and continue with their campaign of terror against the "infidels" and anyone else who stands in their way. All because of an inept President who doesn't know his history. Stupidity at this level is mind-boggling enough when left to the common folk but when it is applied at the Executive level, folks we have a problem. The problem is that this decision by Obama and his administration is going to come back to haunt us in a very desperate way. And all because the American people voted a dullard into office. When THAT time comes, All the finger pointing in the world by the Left and Obama will lead in only one direction - THEIRS and no one else.
