We have been wowed in the press for
the last four years by journalists enamored with his unprecedented rise to the
Presidency, and now we are regaled with stories of President Obama’s prowess in
military special operations. It seems that Admiral McRaven has greased the
skids for Obama to receive an honorary green beret, and induction into the
Special Forces Association (SFA) … a privilege usually reserved for combat
veterans (Read more: http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/08/obama-to-receive-honorary-green-beret-induction-into-special-forces-association/#ixzz25WJW2h8a).
At a White House press conference to announce the event, a questioner asked if
this meant that the President was also in line to get an honorary Navy SEAL
Trident. “The President has in fact already received his Trident from the SEAL
community,” said White House Spokesman Jay Carney. “He was honored to accept the insignia during a private ceremony in
California, a week after his gutsy call where he
singlehandedly took out bin Laden.” Where Obama singlehandedly took our bin
Laden? Are you kidding me? This is a guy who has been ushered through
the cushy halls of some of the finest college institutions in the country, and
refuses to tell us how he managed to do that. This is the same guy who, as
Barry Soetoro, was able to attend Occidental College on a scholarship reserved
for foreign-born students. He has spent the ensuing years hiding that fact. In
any case, Obama never stooped low enough to don the uniform of the Armed Forces
of the United States. He never passed through boot camp, advanced infantry
training, Special Forces training, or any other special operations training …
but he singlehandedly took out bin Laden.
I actually think the liberal media is beginning to believe their own swill.
Just today, Obama is complaining
to USA Today that the Romney campaign is creating a fictional Obama (http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-09-03/obama-interview-convention-speech-campaign/57556318/1).
Excuse me, but what do you call this … certified fact? Are we as thinking Americans to believe that
Obama is now this Special Operations whiz-kid? I’m sorry … I served with the 1st
Special Operations Wing, Hurlburt Field, Florida, and am now a disabled
veteran. I find it incredibly offensive that this shirker tries to surround
himself with the perquisites of power … one of which is instructing military
subordinates to induct him into exclusive military organizations. If Obama
wanted to be a Special Forces member or a Navy SEAL, he could have joined the
military and tried to get through the training. I think America would watch
THAT reality series … Obama trying to swim with a regulation field pack; Obama
trying to scale a wall or endure a forced march with a full field pack, pugil
sticks, etc. What did he choose to
do?
Obama chose to go to Occidental
College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He was not in the Illinois
legislature for long enough to make a mark before he was elected to the United
States Senate. While in the Senate, he sponsored no bills, championed no real
issues and stood for nothing of note on a national scale. He has the
distinction of being the puppet of liberal scions. Obama could speak well, and
so he was carefully ushered through the proper credentials and thrust onto the
national stage. The first America saw of him was during his speech at the 2004 Democratic
convention. Since his election to the Presidency, the political machine has
worked overtime to seal his college records, spent more than $1 million to
protect his birth certificate, and cooperated with other liberal media outlets
to squash dissent.
Obama claims that it is the
Republican Party that is creating a fictional Obama character, but the real one
provides more fodder than anything the Republicans could dream up. He has spent
the last four years in office placing the blame for every failure on President
George W. Bush. The fact is that W inherited the intelligence feeds leading up
to 9/11 from the Clinton Administration. Post 9/11, President Bush took a
strong stand against Islamic terrorism and kept the nation safe. I will be the
first to admit that I did not always agree with the way that Bush conducted
foreign affairs. I felt then, and still feel today, that the US should have
waited to build more of an international consensus before invading Iraq in
2003, just as his father had done in 1991. However, Bush worked with the
Congress. During eight years in the White House, George W. Bush only issued 30
Executive Orders as President. In barely
three and a half years Barack Hussein Obama has issued 137 Executive Orders
… almost five times as many in less than half the time. Tell me which president
is working with the Congress effectively?
Obama routinely uses Executive Orders as an expression of executive fiat
... of course, the liberal media will publicize none of this. But there is no
question in my mind that President George W. Bush is a man of principle,
integrity and honor. I cannot honestly say I believe that anymore with Obama.
The firsthand accounts of his
friends at Columbia indicate that he is narcissistic, aloof, arrogant and
self-serving. He spent the majority of school years smoking marijuana and identified
himself as “white” during those years … denying his black heritage (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/05/25/david-maraniss-s-biography-spills-on-obama-s-pot-smoking-more.html).
This guy is a chameleon. He is a modern
day “Walter Mitty” if we have ever seen one. He doesn’t really accomplish
anything. He lives through the dreams and aspirations of others … and then
claims them as his own. Good luck with that green beret, Mr. President. I hope
every time you put it on your heart feels as empty as the bank accounts of the
23 million Americans who are out of work because of your Administration
policies. You certainly didn't "earn" it.
