| The U.S. position in the Middle East is quickly slipping as an image of Western weakness is convincing important actors that it is in their best interest to invest their future with the bloc of Iran and Syria. While some Arabs are choosing to embrace Israel backstage, this is because of the fear that an Israeli strike on Iran is their last hope before being forced to capitulate. If Tehran is viewed as the new dominant power, Israel will find itself alone and the West will have to contend with a region of countries too afraid to resist the demands of Iran and Syria. Jordanian and Egyptian officials are anonymously complaining about the display of U.S. weakness, saying they can only conclude that they must oppose American policy in order to be treated properly. “Only if you're tough with America and adopt an anti-U.S. stance will the U.S. have a more flexible attitude and pay you,' an Egyptian official told WorldNetDaily.com. Seem to reading that a lot lately. One could almost conclude President Obama considers the American people the real enemy. |

| #6 The Democrats believe they're building a base for permanent power in Washington. Obama is doing his best to become the Hugo Chavez of the United States. Both need to be flushed back into the sewer they crawled out of, and the US return to the limited representative Republic it was originally created as. If that can be done through the ballot box, great. If not, stronger measures may need to be taken. |

| #5 Obummer has deliberately lost the war in Afghanistan. He has pulled support from Israel. He has done more to destabilize the entire middle east than radical Islam. He is in the process of creating a middle east ripe for war by his lack of commitment to our allies and his policies of appeasment. I'm waiting for his "I have secured peace in our time" speach. |

| #1 President Obama considers the American people the real enemy. I take it as a given that the man has no use for the America I know, his wife has even less. |
