Sarah Palin: The Audacity of Obama’s Intentions Revealed
Sarah Palin's Facebook Notes ^ | March 26, 2012 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 03/26/2012 6:24:42 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

Whoever chooses to merely dismiss the significance of today’s exchange between our President and Russia’s President should have their intelligence and patriotism questioned. Let this exchange be a warning to voters: President Obama will have “more flexibility” to weaken us if he’s re-elected in November. He was caught speaking candidly to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev before a “hot mic” today (and surely one must believe he didn’t know the mics were still on; surely he’s not so audacious as to purposefully broadcast his intentions), as reported by ABC’s Jake Tapper. Here’s the exchange:

President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.

President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…

President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.

President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

Let’s consider what this “flexibility” might mean. We know that he has repeatedly conceded to foreign demands and backed down on missile defense. I pointed this out as Governor of Alaska when he proposed reducing Alaska’s missile defense system capabilities. I explained then that the President’s proposed military cuts would diminish Alaska’s opportunity to defend the union with our strategic location’s defense infrastructure. We also know that in 2009, as part of his “reset” with Russia, President Obama turned his back on our Eastern European allies by abandoning past promises for a missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.

We can’t know for certain what this newly revealed “flexibility” means, but considering President Obama’s past actions, be sure it won’t involve a position of strength for America and our allies. Russia has been thwarting us on one issue after another, including the rushed-through New START Treaty that many of us questioned after Obama insisted America ratify it first, then allow Russia to sit on it – unratified on their end – until it suited that foreign power’s needs.

Meanwhile, North Korea is planning another long-range missile launch, and the United States and our allies are still vulnerable to the threat of ballistic missiles. Our president has done nothing to alleviate this vulnerability; in fact, he’s done just the opposite. He has consistently taken a position of weakness and naïve trust in Putin’s Russia. Consider that one-sided New START Treaty as an example of this. Or consider those cuts to Alaska’s missile defense system, which leaves us much more vulnerable in the face of a nuclear North Korea. Now consider the state of our national defense under a President who whispers to a foreign power that he needs even “more flexibility” to weaken us further.

from the congressman’s letter:

“As you know, in the FY12 National Defense Authorization Act, Congress enacted, and you signed into law, a provision constraining your ability to share classified U.S. missile defense information with the Russian Federation. Congress took this step because it was clear based on official testimony and Administration comments in the press that classified information about U.S. missile defenses, including hit-to-kill technology and velocity at burnout information, may be on the table as negotiating leverage for your reset with Russia. Despite signing the FY12 defense authorization legislation into law, you then issued a signing statement signaling that you may treat that provision protecting U.S. missile defense information as non-binding. This morning’s comments, on top of that action, suggests that you and your administration have plans for U.S. missile defenses that you believe will not stand up to electoral scrutiny.”

does this strike anyone else as incredible??

congress taking steps to restrict the president on fears he will leak national secrets to our enemies / adversaries ??

“Does he? Or is he walking into traps left and right?”

And, if he is walking into traps, you can be assured he will find a way to blame it on anyone else...it could never be his fault.

It’s time to take back the country. Bouncing this bozo as soon as possible would be a great start.

Sounds like comrade Obama is taking orders from the Kremlin.

Truly he's the Muscovian Candidate.

Newt is on Hannity now and talking about the traitor in chief. He’s making some great points as to guessing how many other countries Obama has promised to get rid of our Nukes (Iran, North Korea?)

Newt says he’s had Obama on defense all week on energy and says he plans to keep him on defense on many issues through the summer. Gotta love him...

I also hope the GOP plans to have Sarah Palin speak at the convention. She will ELECTRIFY the country!!!

I just saw Newt too. He is doing the greatest job going after Obama and putting him on defense. I would love to see him debate Obama.

Yup. Rush plays an 0bama speech against the individual mandate, Sarah comes out swinging, Ryan is on talking BUDGET and the NBP are being called out on their bounty hunt. Some are most definitely carrying the Breitbart mantle. War.

War.

Drip, drip, drip becomes splash bang boom!

Democrat Media Complex will soon be afraid to cover their own ‘news’.

Then the GOP really is deaf & dumb. She’s a red meat speaker and one that can get everyone to support the nominee and get the masses to the polls.

Not only that, but if Romney is the nominee - the GOP establishment OWES the conservatives some homage and respect because they NEED us to win.
