The Obama Foreign Policy

Since before he was elected, Obama circled the globe complaining about America.


We remember his famous speeches in Germany and Jordan during the campaign. Jordan, right? I think it was Jordan.

And the speech on Islam in Cairo.


He goes around the nation and apologizes. He did so in France. Was that before or after he gave Her Majesty and I-pod?


Then he has his speech at the United Nations where he blasted America's unilateralism. I wrote about that here. Go ahead, read it.

Resetting the button with Russia, ignoring the freedom-lacking protesters in Tehran, throwing Honduras under the democracy bus, calling Chavez "mi amigo" and warming up to Cuba.... did I mention the Queen's I-pod? What does it all add up to?

Nobel Prizes. Yeah!!!

It's the belief that, in order to achieve piece, true equality must be achieved around the world. And that means knocking America down to the world's level.

I've been around the world... I don't want to be at their level....

If America is excellent, if America is THE BEST, that would imply a sense of unfairness. Unfair must mean unjust. Unjust is illegal. This is the world of socialistly-sympathetic Obama. But rather than achieve equality by raising up the others, socialism seeks the lowest common denominator and attempts equality by crushing the leaders. It's like punishing the fastest kid by not allowing him to race because the fat kid will inevitably lose. It's like eliminating the honors courses and putting the smart kids in with the dummies so that no one feels stupid. If we are all stupid- then no one is stupid- then we are all smart.

Yeah!!!!

This is a mindset- it's a philosophical outlook that transcends and permeates economics and politics and foreign affairs and monetary policy and issues of crime, immigration, healthcare and taxes.... everything. Probably most salient is the academic world where no one wins, pass/fail grades are awarded, valedictorians are replaced with elected class representatives, etc etc...

I congratulate President Obama on his award. It is a most prestigious recognition. But I would like to revisit it on October 9, 2010- one year from now- and see if this preemptive acknowledgement has accomplished anything significant in "world peace":

-Iran nuclear ambitions
-Palestinians launching rockets into Israel
-Syria interfering in Lebanon
-Chavez suppressing freedom and building bases around South America
-North Korea disarming its arsenal
-Russia meddling in Georgia and Ukraine
etc, etc, etc...

One year- I would like to see what the preemptive Nobel Laureate will do with this "call to action". See you next year.
