The World (And the Media) Awaits Barack Obama

Photo of Rusty Weiss.

Who would you think is more concerned with the best interest of the United States? Americans? Or those in other countries?

If you chose the latter, then you are likely a liberal. You are also, apparently, like many other countries in the world. Countries that will go from respecting the authority of this nation, to snickering behind our backs at the possibility of electing a President who thinks the world is his constituency, and not his native country.

The media is unconsciously making this obvious, by revealing what may be a major reason we should be concerned about the possibility of the phrase ‘President Barack Obama.’

The world is salivating at the prospect of appeasement, and that will be Obama’s number one foreign policy platform.

Just check out these Election Day headlines:

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

World hopes for a 'less arrogant America'

World looks forward to new era with US

Obama victory will give the USA chance to mend fences with the world

What is the overriding theme to these headlines? An Obama administration benefits other nations, but not necessarily the United States.

Need more proof? Just ask Hugo Chavez:

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, an arch-critic of the United States, said that an Obama victory would mean "a small light on the horizon".

If McCain wins, "we know what to expect: struggle and more struggle, resistance and more resistance," Chavez said in a speech.

He said it would mean a continuation of the policies of President George W. Bush, who Chavez has accused of trying to topple him.

Obama would be "a small light on the horizon" for US-Venezuelan relations, he said.

Obama would be a small light on the horizon according to… a dictator!

Other ringing endorsements for Obama? Fidel Castro, the Iranian Regime, and Hamas to name a few.

The world is overwhelmingly anticipating a Barack Obama presidency to be sure. And the media is not presenting it as support by dictators and those of questionable intent towards the U.S. No, they are presenting it as an opportunity for these countries to walk hand in hand in some sort of false utopia, with a man willing to negotiate and appease terrorists and nations who harbor terrorists.

They are pushing this theme hard on Election Day. Making sure that you, the voter, realize that the world is voting for Barack Obama, and to do otherwise makes you wrong.

The question that every voter should ask is, am I casting my ballot for the world, or am I casting my ballot for the greatest nation in that world?

It’s your choice as an American.

" The Cake is a lie."   

Good morning Shawn

The world view of America is provided to it by the MSM and Hollywood, so the World view of us is worthless. We need to go back to the days when The UNITED States  told the world "You screw with us, look out".

The "world" has never liked or respected us

and they never will unless we are as poor and impotent as they are

Europeans mocked and made fun of Bill Clinton.  Arabs hated him and Al Queda mocked and taunted him.  North Korea successfully blackmailed him and China Bought him.  Cuba hated him.  

Obama will be loved only if he destroys us.   They love him now because they believe he will.

Read Orson Scott Card's

Read Orson Scott Card's book Empire, or, more accurately, the lectures by Prof. Torrent in the first few chapters. He does a good job explaining why America has the prestige it has.

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so." 
- Ronald Reagan

The prestige we have has never been based on our leaders

It's been based on our people and our entrepreneurial spirit. 

Our prestige has been like that of the Yankees in their longstanding hey days.  Many people hated them for their strength and mocked them and rooted for them to lose, but deep down admired them. That's how it is with the U.S. now, that's how it's always been.  Obama may change that.  

Shawn

The last war that was waged properly was under President Teddy Roosrvelt. WW2 was botched when communist FDR gave half of the world to Stalin. If Iraq would have been handled correctly in the first place there would be no trouble in Afghanistan nor Iraq today. If Iran wants to live in the stone age we should give them a good shove in that direction. We need to stop playing politics and start putting America first.

Morning crocodie

I have been up since 3:45 this morning. Trying to drag myself to the gym, which I will do in a few minutes.

Much of the world does not like the way we do things and like it or not the USA could not make it on its own. We need oil, water and electricity from Canada, whose relations have gotten frosty under the Bush administration, electronics from Japan, and everything under the sun from China.

I would like to go back the the days when nobody dared mess with us as well, but let me ask you this. Do you think Iran would dare pull this nucleaur reactor crap if we were not involved in Afghanistan and Iraq?

"We need oil, water and electricity from Canada, whose relations have

Nope. We have more than enough of our own resources. To hell with the rest of the world, they need us more than we need them.

I second the embassy comment, and what about the disco-tech bombing in Berlin where American serviceman were killed, and the hijacked flight where the Navy Seal was killed and the Achille Lauro, it goes on and on. Iraq I'll give you Shawn although I don't agree but Afghanistan? your joking right?

Come on Blazer

I really need to know if your serious. You really think we have enough resources if went on our own.

Lets see there are a little over three hundred million people in the United States. There are 250 million registered vehicles. We also have to gas up our destroyers, fighter jets and tanks in the middle east.

We barely have enough oil even with the imports from the rest or the world. Lets say we drill in Alaska, along with all the other oil in the US can feed our thirst for oil. Sorry Blazer, but you have to be kidding me.

Also according to our commanders, if we don't get more troops in Afghanistan soon, the situtation can become dire.

He's got my vote

Yep, by some estimates we

Yep, by some estimates we have somewhere between 80 and 800 yrs. of oil right in our own backyard ! That will allow a great deal of time to slowly research and implement alternative energy sources and telling the Arabs and Communists to go F-themselves and watch thier money dry up.

Now you said do we think that the Iranians would have the gaul to go nuclear if we weren't in Iraq or Afghanistan, of course they would and we allready addressed it above. Iraq, Libya and Syria tried allready and Pakistan did.

Hi Blazer

How about a shirt that says: "..and..uh...uh..and I..."  Something that says it all because he couldn't say anything that makes sense..

Put me down...

...for an even dozen... And I have a couple suggestions for sub-logos...

"Worst president ever... and not even in office yet..."

or "You get what you wish for..."

or "BHO or bho, Barrack Hussein Obama or browser helper object? Doesn't matter, both are essentially worthless and unwanted"

or "Affirmitave Action has finally succeeded..."

That last one may be a little overboard. Sorry. I don't have a racial bone in my body, but I do have a problem with hiring unqualified persons over qualified persons simply for the sake of political correctness.

Why we should want to please the world by our election is completely beyond me.

Thanks for pointing that out, it was a mistake...

Perhaps appeasement will actually prosper though?

Does my CA vote count?

Well this is it folks...many of you have already voted. I'm still waiting for our polls to open at 8 AM.  I live in heavily liberal California so I don't really know if my vote for McCain-Palin counts.  This state is Oba-me country and everywhere I go, I see the plagiarized Ohio state flag that the One made his official campaign logo.  My vote will be a voice in the wilderness, no matter how hardcore my surroundings might be.  I will not be drowned out because I enjoy FREEDOM! 

From another blue state

Semolina, if you think California's super-liberal, come to my home state of New York, perhaps the nation's "bluest" state.  I am a lonely McCain supporter in a sea of Obama worshippers, those who have been fully brainwashed by the MSM and public schools.  But, like you, I have stood my ground.  Stay strong. 

MLT, you are not alone.  I

MLT, you are not alone.  I too am a New York resident living in NYC.  The only good thing is that I am in one of the only Republican strongholds in the city, Staten Island.

Take heart- here in the

Take heart- here in the suburbs of Western New York (Erie County), the McCain/Palin signs outnumber the Obama/Biden signs by about 4:1.  Tried to get a McC/P yard sign at GOP headquarters in downtown Buffalo- all out, have been for weeks.

I live in IL where McCain has no chance because of the Dem machine voter fraud.   I still vote because no matter how diluted my vote is, it's still a vote and will make a difference in the popular vote.

I won't be voting until 7:00 pm EST since I will be working.  I am hoping that the zero won't have stolen the election by then, because that is the only way he can win this election. 

How else can a candidate who has not disclosed anything about himself except for 2 memoirs and a couple of speeches be elected to the office of the President?  How can a community organizer have 2 memoirs by the time he is 47? We have no school records, no thesis, no records of his time in the Illinois state senate. NOTHING, NADA.  He raised on obscene amount of money because he went back on his word about taking public financing and rest assured most of those funds are illegal but he won't divulge the information of those donors and the media as usual is giving him a pass.

Yes, the only way he wins is to lie, cheat and steal the election, a liberal through and through.

Scuba - don't your polls close by 7:00?

I know they close in IL at 7:00. You have to be in line before closing to be allowed to vote.  I think your employer is required to let you go early.   Don't blow it off!  This may be the last time you have for your vote to count.  The popular vote matters too.

It feels like I am living in a nightmare at the moment.  Can someone please wake me up?

Hopefully I'll wake up in a better world, tonight, after McCain/Palin has won!

Stock Market Celebration

http://www.associate...

The upbeat stock market on election day telegraphs that big business is happy about a sure obama win. They understand that a share the wealth program will force all Americans to spend rather than save. That is good for big business because it will increase consumer spending and jump start the economy. Every dollar earned will be spent. All people will have enough for basics and none will go hungry or be homeless. Nationalized healthcare will cover every American at no cost. We will become the healthiest nation in the world and poverty will be eliminated. Some wage earners that have been living large will have to pay more taxes, but for the sake of a fairer nation they will be happy to make the sacrifice.

Government interference in the private life of its citizens will be minimal. Its purpose would be to collect taxes and make sure that every American had a decent standard of living. Big business would serve the nation even in its pursuits of profits. They will supply every basic need. It will be a kinder economy and a showcase for the world.

TROLL!

doublethink

Doublethink : The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth
