Mr Obama: The United States Is No Longer Great

That was the message Mr Obama essentially carried overseas when he visited Cairo on Wednesday:

CAIRO – In remarks being translated live for broadcasts and Webcasts in every major language, President Barack Obama said Thursday that the United States wants “common ground” and “a new beginning” with the Muslim world, where America’s image plummeted with the Bush administration’s response to the 9/11 attacks.

Newsflash to Mr Obama, seconded by all of my readers: America couldn't care less what its image might be in the so-called Muslim world.

We, first, want an uninterrupted flow of oil so that our economy might continue and flourish. We want to discover other energy sources that allow us to become more self-sufficient and energy independent.

By doing this we wish to finally sever as many ties as possible to your wicked, degenerate, corrupt and violent Middle Eastern ways up to and including any remote association with Islam, the religion of hypocrisy, more violence, hatred, death and destruction. Islam isn't a religion of peace, tolerance and inclusion. It is a religion of brutality forced upon persons in various global regions and held together by enforcers at the tip of a rifle barrel or the edge of a machete.

Islam doesn't liberate; Islam instead destroys freedom and enslaves its sycophants. Because of one very simple and salient fact: Islam is as Islam does.

Look about the world, Mr Obama, to see what it is that Islam does. But you can't, can you? You've chosen blinders over reality, Mr Obama. Naivete, ignorance, gilded agenda and Starbucks over the truth.

Shall I remind the reader to whom Mr Obama's first interview in office, on January 26th, was extended? Why yes, that would be the Saudi-owned and Dubai-based Al-Arabiya satellite TV, where he said "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy, we sometimes make mistakes." He also said ". . .respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that."

Mr Obama continued on his path of denigration for the country that elected him, and his path of pandering to Islamic interests when, in the Cairo speech, he said:

Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. So whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners of it. Our problems must be dealt with through partnership; progress must be shared.”

Mr Obama is saying that the United States is no better a nation or colleague in freedom than Somalia, Venezuela, Cuba, Yemen -- any other country controlled by a tinpot dictator or ruled by violence, corruption and oppression.

This is simply unacceptable and, moreover, disgusting, Mr Obama.

You cheapen my father's and his generation's sacrifice during World War II, whereupon he and others like him fought for and brought freedom not just to one nation but the entire damned planet. Just as the United States did in World War I and numerous other regional and global conflicts.

If we are so incredibly heinous, Mr Obama, then simply isolate the United States. Take it completely out of any global equation. Withdraw our troops from all foreign shores. Withhold all funds to other nations. Withdraw from the UN and demand its removal from our sovereign soil.

Mr Obama also believed it important to personally implement and ensure the corruption of the United States from within by Islam:

We will expand exchange programs, and increase scholarships, like the one that brought my father to America, while encouraging more Americans to study in Muslim communities. And we will match promising Muslim students with internships in America; invest in on-line learning for teachers and children around the world; and create a new online network, so a teenager in Kansas can communicate instantly with a teenager in Cairo.”

Please recall that on April 6 of this year, Mr Obama made a speech at the Turkish Parliament in Ankara, capital of a Muslim country, where he said "The United States is not and will never be at war with Islam," and that "America's relationship with the Muslim world cannot and will not be based on opposition to al-Qaida." Also, complete Cairo speech transcript is here.

Really, Mr Obama? History cannot be factored into current and future events? Historical Alzheimers will be the Obama Agenda and Rule?

And considering his Cairo speech, what might have been the reaction of Muslims in the area? Let us look. From YahooNewsUK/Ireland:

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the nations of the Middle East shared a "deep hatred" of the United States.

Khamenei's latest salvo against Iran's arch-foe came as US President Barack Obama arrived in Cairo to deliver a much-heralded address to the Muslim world in a bid to heal a wide breach between America and Islam.

Further, Khamenei said:

The nations in the region hate the United States from the bottom of their hearts because they have seen violence, military intervention and discrimination," Khamenei said at the mausoleum of Khomeini.

"The new US government seeks to transform this image. I say firmly, that this will not be achieved by talking, speech and slogans.

"They have done things that have deeply hurt the nations in the region... action is needed and one can not remove this deep hatred by words, speeches and slogans."

As you might expect, some Israelis are not precisely swooning with adoration, Mr Obama (video here):

Chanting "No, you can't!" and waving signs bearing messages in a similar vein, nearly 200 people held a demonstration outside the US Consulate on the capital's Rehov Agron on Wednesday evening, protesting the growing American pressure to stop construction in West Bank settlements.

Yes, apparently you may not be quite so loved despite your rhetoric, Mr Obama.

And your pandering, Islamic-embracing speeches only emboldens our enemy, Mr Obama. Read that correctly: our enemy.
