State of the Union: Barack Obama gets an F for world leadership
Telegraph (UK) Blog ^ | January 28, 2010 | Nile Gardiner

As expected, Barack Obama’s 70 minute State of the Union address focused heavily on the economy and the domestic political agenda. This was hardly surprising in the aftermath of last week’s catastrophic defeat for his party in the Massachusetts special Senate election, where the Republicans scored an historic victory. American voters are turning strongly against the president’s health care reform package as well as his big government vision for the economy, which has contributed to spiraling public debt and mounting unemployment, now standing at over 10 percent.

But the scant attention paid in the State of the Union speech to US leadership was pitiful and frankly rather pathetic. The war in Afghanistan, which will soon involve a hundred thousand American troops, merited barely a paragraph. There was no mention of victory over the enemy, just a reiteration of the president’s pledge to begin a withdrawal in July 2011.

"There was no mention of victory over the enemy, just a reiteration of the president’s pledge to begin a withdrawal in July 2011."

That's because our bag of wind Poser-In-Chief is "uncomfortable" with victory...unless its victory over those who don't agree with his enlightened, albeit entirely theoretical, political ambitions.

Could there ever, even before the days of media, have been a bigger FRAUD elected to the presidency???

The media is guilty of TREASON in creating and sustaining the elevation of this arrogant fool, and they need to held accountable for refusing to do their CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY of being the watchdog of the American people...NOT THE LAPDOG OF ONE POLITICAL PARTY BECAUSE THEY ALL BELIEVE THEY'RE SO MUCH SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

RACIST MY ASS!

HE'S A HORRIBLE PRESIDENT!
