Europeans Ambivalent About Obama’s Missile Defense U-Turn
B. Obama has done a whole lot of things that upset not only the American electorate, but the common people of the whole world. He somehow saw himself as the man who would make it All Okay, just by giving inspirational speeches. Even the brutal depots of the world would be swayed by his speeches, because he Was So Reasonable, so he thought. That said, I could give him a pass as a naive, poorly educated dupe of political correctness, except that the man is not a clueless kid. His practical education (Harvard PC aside) absorbed the nasty, cynical, mostly radical lessons of Chicago politics, which loves power above any consideration of fairness.
We are all in great danger now because of a cultural system (our former fourth estate – i.e. the heretofore “objective” network media) which could not, or would not, provide a fair and balanced review of the people who manufacture our domestic and foreign policy. The American people have been betrayed, not only by our leaders, but by the people who were supposed to provide the checks and balances on our leaders. I contend that, not only should we sweep Congress clean of the weasels, but we should insist on a similar house cleaning of the erstwhile Fourth Estate.
