September Surprise: Obama even more spineless than we
thought
By Curt Dale
So, we have a big September Surprise, and it is that BH
Obama is even more cowardly, spineless, inept and disconnected with reality
than even the most critical of us ever thought. A bunch of Islamic terrorists,
in an act of war, killed Ambassador Chris Steven, his bodyguard, ex US Navy
Seal Glen Doherty, and two other diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, Almost
simultaneously, an Islamic Terrorist attack our US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, essentially
destroyed it, another act of war. Coordinated? Who cares? (Well the White House
wants to deal with minutia and prove it was not coordinated or preplanned. But
I don’t care. Both were acts of war against the United States.) It’s Muslim
Jihad, plain and simple. The US Flag was torn down, desecrated, and replaced with
a form of the Taliban/Al Qaeda flag.
Both of these terrorist groups who attacked us are the very terrorists
Obama, by leading from the rear with complicity, put into power about a year
ago. He assured us they were not Islamic Brotherhood and that they would not be a radical Muslim
Terrorist regime. Well, he was wrong—I take that back—I don’t think he was
wrong because I think he knew they’d be radical, and that’s just fine with him.
Today, in Golden Colorado, Obama said, “I know it’s
unsettling to see these images on television.” Mr. Obama, is “unsettling” the
very best you can gin up to describe the Ambassador you appointed being
brutally murdered along with the dedicated former Navy Seal, and two other
diplomats? Those aren’t “images,” Mr. Obama! They were red blooded Americans,
serving you and your Administration on “American Soil” in our embassies: they
were fathers, husbands, and patriots. And you go so far as to say the images of
their deaths unsettle you? Our Cairo Embassy is essentially destroyed by another
group of Islamic Terrorism, another act of war by terrorists, rubbing our nose
in the dirt in their celebration of 9/11, and you are “unsettled,” Oh, my!
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney dared to show
the temerity to question the total lack of significant reaction by the Obama
White House, pointing out the obvious, that this is an act of war and that the
President needed to react to it in a strong way. He was reacting to twice release
apology from the United States Embassy in Egypt. That’s correct! The Terrorists attacked the
Embassy. And the United States Embassy in Egypt apologized for any offense a
private movie may have caused to Muslims. What did Obama do? He attacked Romney
for his comments. He said Romney was given to doing “Ready, fire, aim. Now
isn’t that cute of the President to revive the Jimmy Carter old-saw. The problem
is that Romney is correct; while Obama’s Administration was in the apology
mode—to the terrorists—and Barack had
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton parroting his stance, Barack remained silent. Almost makes me feel sorry
for ol’ Hil. He left her to try to mop up the mess that he’d so blithely let happen over the past couple
of years. Our Ambassador and 3 staff members were dead in Libya and our embassy
completely trashed in Egypt. Clinton was telling the American people that this
was the act of a small, radical group and had nothing to do with al Qaeda. Naw!
It was a highly organized, well planned and precisely carried out attack on
American soil. She went on to literally blame the US, too, profusely
apologizing to the terrorists for the act (some innocuous YouTube video on
internet) that is credited with setting off the terrorists. The video is simply a handy excuse to attack
us. And isn’t it convenient that it gives Obama and Clinton a line for deep
apology to the terrorists. Their condolences to the families of our dead came
as rather an afterthought.
This reaction by Obama and his Administration is
reprehensible. Yes, this was an Act of War against the United States. But that
means nothing to Obama. It was an inconvenience to him, and he has dismissed it
to his lower levels to handle while he is in the election campaign mode,
raising money. Frankly, it is exactly what we can expect from this totally narcissistic
man. (I hardly knew what it meant until I heard it applied to Obama. I looked
it up.) No wonder I never knew exactly what it meant. I never knew anyone so
totally into “me!” Now, in that light, just think of what he did. He had the
flags brought to half mast and put the nation into mourning by presidential
decree, the obligatory thing to do. He then quickly loaded up and headed for
Las Vegas to do a huge re-election fund raiser. How long ago was it that he
told us that we should not go to Vegas and spend money down there, suggesting
we tighten our belts. But he is above all of that. He can go down and hobnob
with those big donors to the wee hours, reap their money and adoration, and
just leave the mourning for his Ambassador and diplomatic staff to us.
This very morning, Obama gave what he must think was a
powerful response. He said, "We
will work with the Libyan Government to bring the people (note that he didn’t
say ‘terrorists) to justice. “ Oh, wowzie! That’s just an overwhelming posture.
And even in that speech, which was a campaign stop, he put in a thinly veiled
apology to the offended terrorists. Think of what Ronald Reagan did to bring
the Libyan government in line when Colonel Muammar
Qaddafi got too big for his britches. Reagan defied all of Europe, did
what was right, and sent FB-111s over to the Libyan capital and blew the front porch
off of Muammar’s palace. We didn't hear any more from ol' Muammar until the
Obama Administration came into "power," (if we can even use the term
power in reference to anything about Obama).
An explicit example of the Obama supporters outlook happened
today. In a campaign speech today, Mitt Romney called for a moment of silence
for those killed in Libya. As soon as the moment of silence was supposed to
start, heckling Obama backers ruined the solemn moment of silence. I have no
tolerance for such disrespect. In the world I’ve grown up in, such horrible
behavior would have been considered insanity. But in the insane world of Obama,
I suppose it’s just about standard operating procedure.
Can we just face the fact that we have a totally failed
President in Barack Hussein Obama? Our nation is declining at a horrifying pace
under his incomprehensible Administration. Nothing he does makes any sense. So,
a happy, spineless September Surprise to you all, courtesy of Barack, a
partyin’ kinda guy.
