Obama: A Profile in Cowardice
2009-07-02
Hat tip, No Passaran
Meet Barack Hussein Obama. The man who turned his own middle name into a no-go zone during the election, only to bring it out of the closet when he trotted down to a Muslim country. The man whose associates labeled talk about his Muslim background as racist, only to proclaim his Muslim background loudly and proudly from the podium of a Muslim country.

Meet Obama, the bright young Senator with a phony biography geared to playing up his biracial angst for the college campuses. Who promised his leftist volunteers an end to rendition, detentions, eavesdropping and a whole bundle of other things, only to pull a bait and switch on them.

After all tools like that come in handy, even if they're less likely to be used against Muslim terrorists, than they are against Tea Party protesters.

Meet Barack Obama, the man who was going to bring an end to the American coercion of other countries. No more would the White House tell the rest of the world what to do. Except of course to dictate where Jews can live in Israel, how the Honduran judiciary can operate and who can head the Muslim community in Greece.

Of course Obama has drawn the line somewhere. He has drawn the line against standing up to Ahmadinejad, Chavez or any Socialist or Muslim tyrant.

#5  I guess Janeane Garofalo won't be subscribing to Sultan Knish. And ABC (NBC, CNN, CBS, NPR, etc, etc.) won't be publishing such a story. Although I recently did see Helen Thomas get very huffy about the scripted BO news(?) conference the other day.

#4  While the office of the President should be respected the man must earn respect. I don't think Obama has earned the respect of the author of this article. /s

#3  Obama's tepid response was not tacit approval for the Mullahs to crack heads as the author suggests.

I fully concur! The signal to begin "cracking heads" can ONLY begin when Barry signals with hand holding a bow.

#2  "Obama cannot be held completely responsible for the ruthless crackdown that has followed, but some of the blood is certainly on his well manicured hands and sleeves."

Bullshit! This is the same kind of petty hyperbole that was hoisted upon President Obama’s predecessor. This guy’s adolescent logic is simply a stealth version of “Blame America First”. Obama’s tepid response was not tacit approval for the Mullahs to crack heads as the author suggests. Responsibility for the carnage in the aftermath of the Iranian elections rests exclusively with the Iranian regime.
