Obama fears Bush more than terrorists
The attempted bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 was more than just al Qaeda’s latest attempt to bring death and destruction to American shores. It was also,in its still-unfolding political aftermath,a head-on collision between Barack Obama’s soaring rhetoric and the reality of terrorism.
Obama’s first response to the incident,or nonresponse,did not surprise anyone who followed his 2008 presidential campaign. As a candidate,Obama repeatedly accused the Bush administration of using terrorism to spread fear among the American public for political gain.
"Since 9/11,we’ve had a president who essentially fed us a politics of fear,"Obama said at a December 2007 Democratic debate in Iowa. "We have been governed by fear for the last six years,"he said two months earlier in Philadelphia. "We’re tired of fear,"he said still earlier at a debate in South Carolina.
Obama pledged a new,quieter approach. He would improve America’s image in the world,reach out to Muslims and dial back the fear.
The America-hating White House ayatollah's first loyalty is not to Americans but to his fellow muslims,be they terrorists or note. He seeks to create a secret soicety,a one part system in the fashion of Castro and Chavez whom he admired although CAstro has recently criticized himn apparently because he feels Obama is not moving quickly enough to a totalitarian state. I can only hope that Independents and Democrats will reclaim the Senate and perhaps even impeach Obama for his traitorous acts just as he and his cohorts demanded the impeachment of Pres. Bush for daring to attempt tpo protect America.
Sheldon do you not mean Independents and Republicans you said democrats I hope you just missed it if not you live in lol ;lol land democrats are not going to do any thing but aid and abiet the evil obama
We are in big trouble. We are giving terrorists commiting acts of war against the U.S. the rights of U.S. citizens. However,we have our own homegrown terrorists —the U.S. congress! I'm terrified for my country. These bozos are bankrupting our nation. We will rue the day that we voted a (radical) Democrat majority in both houses of Congress. God help us all!
