Obama to Howard: Chickenhawk!
Nuke's news & views ^ | 02/11/07 | Nuke Gingrich

Posted on 02/11/2007 11:08:13 AM PST by grandpa jones

Barack Hussein Obama fired back at Autralian PM John Howard today, invoking the familiar “nutroots” chickenhawk meme.

Responding to Howard’s criticism of Obama’s Iraq surrender-by-May plan, Obama lashed out at Howard by minimizing the Australian troop commitment of 1400, and said that if Howard believes so strongly in the American effort, he should commit an additional 20,000 Australian troops. (I have been reminded that “stategic redeploment” does not mean “surrender”, but failing to see the difference, I have decided to continue to use my original characterization.)

Perhaps Obama thinks Howard is an easy target. Given Obama’s lack of experience on the world stage, I don’t doubt this one bit. I’ve written previously about the absence of gravitas in the Obama campaign, and this comment is simply more evidence that he truly doesn’t get it, and is in no way ready for prime time. Hillary’s attack machine must be licking their chops. Obama is making it easy for them. But, I suspect we haven’t heard the last word yet from PM Howard.

Love the way they pull a number out of their ass and our supposed "Journalists" merely regugitate it without question.. We have spent no where near $400 billion in Iraq. For $400 billion you could buy the whole bleeding country off. Love the way they take every dollar sent anywhere even remotely tied to the WOT and blame it on Iraq.

Nice to get such an early glimpse at how Obama's foreign policies would be.

It's obvious Obama is running interference for Queen Hillary.
Making thinks easy for Hillary's attack team is part of the plan. What's in it for Obama for his art of making Hillary shine? How about VP? Or some other nice comfy position in the dragons admin.

Oh PAHHHH-LEEEEEEEESE!

Obama invokes Lincoln, who stood up to
the winds of War, Misery, Misfortue and
uncertain destiny, with his beliefs, and
moved forward into the raging tespest, and
declares affinity with him, as Obama demands
retreat, uncertainty, to shirk from battle, and
from inevitable destiny, as a cowrad runs away,
dying a thousand deaths, rather than to stahnd
and face a bully, and accept what may come....
AZnd apparently, even *small* bullies, intimidate
those that now claim the mantle of the Democrats.

Obama retorts to Howard, like a boy retorts
to a friend admonishing him, not to back away
from the intimidation and shame but to stand
firm.....

"Well if you're so tough, why don't *you* fight him??"


Obama does not comport the steel in the
backbone it takes to be the Commander in
Chief.. .of even a *small* country.

"Obama, show me your birth certificate. "No Person except a natural born Citizen, ... and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." I was wondering about that too. He wasn't born in the USA was he? And since he has been "educated" in some offshore madrasa pumping hatered toward anything not Islam, we know he didn't spend any part of his youth in the USA, further underlining the fact he was not a natural born citizen of this nation. Did he live in the USA this past 14 years uninterupted? If not, he is disqualified by law. This further shows that he is a Hillary operative, put there (illegaly) by Hillary's team to make her look better.

Howard should simply say "well, that's 1400 more than you'd have there Dumbo."

Why do we need Australia as a friend?

President Obama will make new friends with all of the peoples' republics. There are lots more of those.

Why is Obama campaigning in Auatralia? Can't he get any traction in Iowa or New Hampshire or Illinois?

Thanks, thats very comforting. President Obama does not ring well with me. Just does not sound American.

*****Since he has zero experience in anything except being black in Chicago,




Obama hasnt any experience at being black in Chicago. Unless its of being a rich black in Chicago. You dont go to Yale being poor.

Chicago's average black man has never had advantages Obama has. He may talk the talk ,but he has never walked the walk.
