'A long train of abuses' alleged against president
Despite the “mainstream media” umbrella to shield Barack Obama’s past tutelage under Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis, friendship and babysitting by unrepentant Weathermen revolutionaries Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and 20 years attendance at the Rev. Wright’s “God Damn America” church, the president’s foreign policy decisions have now established his ideology:
We have a president who returned the White House’s Winston Churchill bust to England; bows before Middle East tyrants; routinely gives speeches abroad apologizing for America’s role in the world; plays golf right after hearing of the beheading of an American journalist; prevented any support to Iran’s people in the 2009 uprising; sided with Argentina over the Falklands; sent no one to Margaret Thacher’s funeral yet hugged Hugo Chavez, and sent high-level State Department envoys to his funeral; and has forbidden any intelligence gathering in mosques in the face of exploding world violence.
He has whispered to Medvedev how he will be more flexible with Putin after the election; tried to force Honduras to put Castro’s and Hugo Chavez’s ally in power; announced unilateral slashing of nuclear weapons for our planes and submarines (which are least vulnerable to a first strike); has fired more than 300 of our senior generals and admirals; is openly hostile to Israel; charged that the U.S. had “colonized” Cuba; ignored his own chemical weapons “redline” on Syria, which is still actively using chemical warfare; released five top Taliban leaders at Guantanamo for one Army deserter; unilaterally ended the Monroe Doctrine and then recognized communist Cuba, Latin America’s police state sponsor of anti-Americanism and guerrilla warfare.
What else?
He has provided civilian “habeas corpus” for foreign terrorists and won’t allow military trials of foreign terrorists; supported the Muslim Brotherhood over Gen. El-Sisi in Egypt; won’t call domestic terrorism anything but “workplace violence”; denied military rescue to an American ambassador in Libya and lied about the Islamist terrorism cause of the attack.
He boycotted France’s million man/world leaders’ march against terrorism following the Islamic murder of 14 Parisians; prevented Eric Holder from attending though he was in Paris at the time; promised military aid for the defense of Ukraine against Russia’s invasion, but refuses to send weapons; slashed the Army to troop numbers not seen since before WWII; slashed the Navy to less than half the ships considered “minimum” by two presidential bipartisan panels; is reducing the Air Force to numbers that go back to 1912; calls for destroying ISIS while supplying no weaponry or advisers to its opponents while watching it grow from 10,000 to 60,000 in five short months; and demands that no connection be made between terrorism and Islamic extremists.
Now, contrary to earlier promises, he wants to sign a treaty with Iran on nuclear bombs by releasing billions of dollars up front, dropping all sanctions upon signing, no inspection of military sites, no restriction of ballistic missiles, no release of American prisoners, and no restriction on being the leading country in the World supporting terrorism.
Connect the dots. The record is clear. No president in American history has ever acted as blatantly against America’s allies and interests and for its historic enemies as Barack Hussein Obama.
