Obama, the Special Olympics and Perspective

I've seen the video. Obama said his bowling is something like watching a Special Olympics athlete.

Then the world went nuts about that comment.

We have the DOW in a tailspin, government spending at an all time high, the Federal Reserve going nuts, all threatening to drive inflation into the stratosphere, and we're worried about a something this stupid?

And to make it worse, the "offended" group hasn't cried fowl.

The only people "defending" the "offended" group are the hard left liberals with nothing better to do. They are the economic equivalent of those who moved deck chairs about on the Titanic. They can't imagine doing anything constructive.

Let the testing begin!

Well,

Now that the world believes Barak Obama is the President, the testing of his mettle has begun in earnest.

The North Koreans are going to test their longer range missile.
The Iranians are full speed ahead in their nuclear program.
The Russians laughed in his face at his (ridiculous) offer to pull back the missile defense system deployed in Eastern Europe.

AND NOW

The Chinese think they can harass our navy ships.

The worlds now holds its breath to see if Obama will be like his democratic predecessors, Clinton and Carter, both totally unprepared to deal with international bullies, or if he will man up like Reagan and Bush, and the man he pretends to be, Lincoln.

We should hold our breath too!

Should the Obama Administration show the characteristic Democratic weakness then we could be in for a very bad four years. Couple that with the economic disaster the Democrats are heaping upon us and it might be the saddest chapter in this great nations history yet.

And we're not off to a good start either.

The Obama administration has thus far managed to offend our most stalwart ally, the United Kingdom, and has shown its proclivity to appeasement by trying to buy off the Palestinians in the Gaza strip rather than letting Israel really clean house.

It makes me sad to think that the only thing that will keep this country "safe" is nuclear weapons. But once again our technology may be the only thing that can offset the otherwise fatal policies of liberal leaders. Let us hope the fools in Washington don't manage to disassemble them all before a leader that is willing to actually defend our interest is installed.
