I’ve been watching small doses of the Democratic presidential debate. It’s basically a pander-fest. That’s pretty standard Democratic fare on dom

Obama thus pledges to wander the world, hat-in-hand, trying to prove America’s lack of arrogance to our worst enemies. But only after preparing for the meeting.

`A la Neville Chamberlain!

Ah yes, “peace in our time” is nearly at hand. Now who will be Churchill? 

Obama’s uplifting message to our enemies would be, “We suck and we’re sorry.” I get a little nauseous when I realize this guy could very well become the next president. God help us.

Barack Hussein Obama is NOT ready to be anywhere near the WH. No amount of instruction could prepare him for the post. He sucks.

One only has to wonder what concessions Obama bin Hopin’ will decide in his preparations to meet with those who have declared themselves our nation’s enemy.

Ah yes, “peace in our time” is nearly at hand. Now who will be Churchill?

A man like Churchill comes along once in a lifetime and our lifetime isnt it.  There isnt any Churchill forth coming because there does not exist a man today either in the US or Europe who possess the titanium spine and chromium manhood to stand up, fight a war to win, and come home in victory.
We’re left with spineless jellyfish like Obama and Clinton and “Miss Thang” Hillary and the rest of the panderers who make it a point to “negotiate” with bad guys by kissing them square on their butts.
Wonder why so many kids got killed at Virginia Tech and NIU?  They’ve been taught appeasment and non-confrontation since kindergarten - that’s all they know.  And now they know appeasment will get you at best, enslaved, at worst, killed.  The only one at VT to stand up was an elderly Jewish professor who was a Holocaust surviver.  He stood up because he had seen this before.  Until we can stand up as a nation, we will live on our knees as slaves.
We are no longer home of the brave.

This is scary.  Since Obama seems incapable of separating the good guys from the bad (Oh I’m sorry.  Is “bad” a politically incorrect term?) I can only imagine what his preparation will entail.

A question for those smarter than I.  To what extent can a President make agreements with another country before it is a treaty?  Because it seems our only hope that any deals that a President Obama would cut might be considered treaties and require Senate ratification.  And, with 2/3rds required for ratification maybe the Senate would be collectively smarter.

What little I saw of the “debate” last night, it appeared to me as though Obambi was beaten severely about the head and shoulders by Queen Hillary.  That smug smile never left her face as he doodled on a small pad - all the while showing off his wedding ring.  Was I the only one who caught that?

So, I embarked on a quest to discover just who is advising Obambi on military affairs.  NO ONE to my surprise and chagrin!  “Foreign policy” to him is ALL about “diplomacy”.  THAT is sure to get lots of Americans killed should he be our next POTUS.  Here’s the young line-up as it appears today:

Team Obama

Obama’s Brain Trust Taking Shape

WASHINGTON — When it comes to foreign affairs, Senator Obama’s inner circle of advisers includes a Swahili-speaking Air Force general he met on a trip to Africa; a 30-year-old speechwriter who helped draft the final report from the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, and President Clinton’s first national security adviser, who in 2005 converted to Judaism under the tutelage of the Navy’s chief Jewish chaplain.

Those advisers in order are Scott Gration, Ben Rhodes, and Anthony Lake. They are part of a nine-person team, in contact every day, often by e-mail. The team develops policy positions, clears language for use in comments to the press, and prepares the Democratic candidate who has won all the primaries since Super Tuesday for a dangerous world and a global war.

Who advises Mr. Obama and whom the candidate would appoint to key foreign policy posts if elected president has raged as the topic of intense speculation on the Internet and through often anonymous e-mails warning Jewish voters that Mr. Obama’s team may be neutral or indeed hostile to Israel.

Not a military Vet among ‘em.  Not even a tired old, senile General Officer to trot out when the going gets rough.

I listened to the whole thing on C-Span Radio (via the Internet), wondering if Missus Slick would find a way to pin Obambi to the wall and resurrect her faltering campaign.  She seemed remarkably ineffectual.  They have little to disagree about, and Obambi the Prophet was safely on autopilot.

If the Slicks can’t trip up Obambi in the next week or so, it’s all over.  Then we’ve got to hope John McCain can deflate the messianic balloon before it carries us into the abyss.

PS Did anyone get the impression that Missus Slick was conceding the race to Obambi? “It’s been an honor being on stage with Barak Obama.” Sounded like a concession to me.

Obama sounds like John Kerry the Second.  Remember how during the presidential debates, Kerry practically promised, if elected, to go to the UN and kiss every rear end there?

This election is beginning to sound like the Nixon-McGovern race. A not-very-popular Republican vs. a seemingly simplistic Democrat.

The only time I have heard Obama talk about “limited resources” was in reference to our military.
