UNbelievable

Obama at the UN has been a silly showing. If I have to hear another "the time for action is now" and "this is our moment" line, I might throw up in my soup.

"But it is my deeply held belief that in the year 2009 — more than at any point in human history — the interests of nations and peoples are shared."

Really? Who shares Ahmadinejad's desire for a second, more successful, holocaust of the Jewish race? Raise your hands if you want to wipe Israel off the face of the map!

Who shares Putin's interest in controlling all resources in Georgia, the Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Lithuania, The Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia etc etc?? (yet later on in the speech Obama mentions a "long-gone cold war". Looks like global warming is over and things are cooling down again...)

Who shares Chavez's desire to turn Latin America into a Nazi-style, ethnically uniform republic? Yes Bolivia- we've got you down. Honduras- you tried to fight? Bad, bad Honduras. We are revoking your visas.

"America has acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others."

Where? When? In the takeover of banks and industry? In demands Credit Suisse and Deutschebank follow Obama's laws? In the nationalization of the mortgage industry? Certainly not in Iraq after 2 UN Security Council resolutions and a coalition of more than 25 countries including UK, Spain, Canada, Japan, India, Australia...

Where is this unilateralism? Is it in the UN's handling of Rwandan genocide? Or the Sudanese genocide? Or the Burmese genocide? Or the Tibetan genocide? Where was the UN Human Right Council, replete with esteemed member nations like North Korea and Syria, when it came to the Iranian protests?

"...because the time has come for the world to move in a new direction. We must embrace a new era of engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and our work must begin now."

Ugh. Shoot me. I could go on. But there is more manure in these speech, this sorry excuse for the POTUS' address to the world, than I care to mention.

More and more I am not only disappointed and angered by this community organizer neophyte, I am quite embarrassed.

And afraid.
