President Obama and Syria

Submitted by Ilbert A. Phillips (United States), Sep 12, 2013 at 03:02

President Obama truly believed that all one has to do is make good arguments to bring about world peace. Chamberlain made the same mistake. Far too many Americans do not realize that our very existence as a country with all of the freedoms and prosperity we have is not the norm. We have had leaders who have been excellent stewards, starting with our founding fathers and great leaders since: Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, and both Bushes. President Obama simply did not have enough experience when he was elected. He came along at the perfect time. A nice young man with a white mother and an African father, and an Ivy League background and a talent for being a politician. Americans wanted to make a statement that race did not matter.

Obama has set race relations back, established Obama care by telling the Repulicans to go to hell, undone all of the excellent work the Americans did in iraq and Afghanistan by prematurely pulling the Americans out; and supported the Arab Spring which appears to be a major disaster in progress. He fumbled Benghazi. A basic premise this country is buit upon, e pluribus unum is shot to hell, liberty is taking a beating, and God has been thrown in the closet.
