Barack Obama’s Pardon, Prostrate, and Plead Foreign Policy
I assume Jack was alluding to Obama’s recent glad-handing with Hugo Chavez when he noted: “Reagan shook hands with two USSR leaders…” As I recall, the Reagan summits with the USSR were well planned in advance and that Reagan stuck to his guns in negotiations with our adversaries. This is not the same as an impromptu, all smiles photo-op with the most outspoken US critic in South America, who called our last President “the Devil.” This was great publicity for Chavez, who may have won elections but is still consolidating his power like any other two-bit tyrant. The US should speak out for freedom and the President should be liberty’s number one spokesman. Instead, our current leader slanders the brave Americans and Cubans who died fighting Castro’s dictatorship at the Bay of Pigs, saying that he can’t be “blamed” for what happened when he was only a child. I won’t call Jack an idiot but BHO’s approach to foreign policy so far has been idiotic for all the reasons Mr. Hawkins pointed out in his article and more.
