Obama failed his first real-world test. He showed weakness. North Korea proved to the world the US is a paper tiger. Iran and our enemies will be emboldened.

Meanwhile, Obama and the Dems wants to cut our military and reduce our arms capabilities.

Hope. Change.

At least some positives in this poll is that some Americans get the danger we are in, and this is before the NK missile test hit the news. If these numbers are indeed true, then Obama made a massive error in his weak response that Americans may not easily forgive.

Next?

Israel takes note, and bombs Iran on its own, since Obama will not help protect Israel!

Hey, Netanyahoe can say, “You won't defend your own interests, why should we trust you to defend Israel?”

Well you 57%, you shouldn’t have voted for Obama then. Elections have consequences.

I am *really* shocked that the numbers are this high.

There might be hope for the republic yet!

57% of the voting public don’t know what time it is.

They proved that Nov 4th.

Do you think Obama and the liberals think he failed the test? I think they are patting themselves on the back praising him for how “statesmanly” he is acting. And did you hear his speech today (using a teleprompter) about how this launch was a blah, blah, blah. This guy loves the sound of his own voice, but he will not do anything to North Korea. When the UN Security Council does nothing, he’ll say we shouldn’t do anything until we get “consensus” because after all, we aren’t a superpower, now we’re team players on the world stage. And remember, what did Bill Clintoon do through the 90’s. He gave them a lot of money and a lot of nuclear technology for nuclear power. So Obama is really Clintoon II on this one. (But you gotta love the picture of Madeline Albright sipping champagne with Kim Jong Il thinking she was the greatest Sec State ever).

Iran and our enemies will be emboldened.

Hopefully our allies will be emboldend too--to see to their own defense. Israel and Japan et al. are not about to get dragged over the precipice just because a moral and political coward rules from the White House.

Why send the military. The country is being destroyed from within.

I was listening to some local jack arse African American guy who is usually tolerable on Sundays on the radio. He is bashing Gordon Brown and this one world thing. He is trying to say Obama is not on board. You can tell the hope & change kool aide is wearing off but he is still making excuses.

Shut down our defense contractors too. Waste of moeny. All filled with union thug workers anyway.

Most of the morons in this country care more about the Final 4, some other sport or reality TV show. Their kids future’s are being sold out and they are concerned about ball games.

I was at a business conference and one guy was talking about the college team and why the quarterback this and that. The typical inane sports talk radio crap like any of it really matters.

I find these results hard to believe. It seems to me that the nation is rather war weary and that is why they voted for a communtiy organizer over a decorated war hero. . .

Obama is cowardly treasonous liberal.

Do you think North Korea will be content with having a million man army poised to attack the South, without ever using it?

Kim Jong-il knows Obama is weak. Obama’s solution? Combine pressure with incentives.

There was a response. Obama called for someone to take leadership.

Well, we got what voted for - a limp-wristed threat that we were going to talk, talk, talk about it and that the North Koreans were really in trouble now and were going to go on double secret probation.

57% Want Military Response to North Korea Missile Launch

Kim Jung Il knew quite well that, with Obama and the democrats, that there would be no response. So, Kim acted while the acting is good.

Kim was emboldened with the Obama election and no doubt, Iran and Ahmadinejad will follow soon. Iran will have a nuclear bomb within the year if not sooner. And Obama will be afraid to act. Syria will be emboldened and so will Lybia which will revive its ambitions to become a nuclear power.

Japan and others will feel the threats of their neighbors acquiring the N-bomb and so, Japan and others will feel the need to build their own for defensive purpose since they won't be able to count on the U.S. anymore. Instead of a nuclear-free world like Obama says, we'll get even more countries joining the nuclear club. When the enemy perceives you as weak, and when they get that confirmed through speeches and negotiations that virtually decapitate our defenses, then the enemy knows they have an advantage which they will use to make huge gains.

With a weakened U.S., both economically and militarily, the dangers in the world will increase. Politically, there's nothing Obama can do since political power is derived mostly from economic and military strength. America is now just another country. Obama and the democrats destroyed what kept us safe and we'll soon be paying a very high-price for it.
