Obama's Kindness to the Cruel

There is an ancient saying best summarized as: "Those who are kind to the cruel in the end will be cruel to the kind."

We saw this warning vividly and sorrowfully cast aside at the Summit of All Americas as President Obama smiled and warmly embraced the thug, Hugo Chavez, who sits astride Venezuela while its frail democracy dies by a "thousand cuts" under his growing dictatorship.

Obama greeted Hugo Chavez 24 hours after the Venezuelan ruler said, "The United States Empire is on its way down and will be finished in the near future, inshallah!" The Arabic word Chavez uttered loosely means, "Allah wills it."

No doubt, Chavez has now morphed into an Islamist after his love fest with the Iranian racist and bigot of the day, Mahmoud Ahmedinijad. Indeed Iran has found a willing ally in Chavez.

We have seen the ancient wisdom flouted as our president held hands with the Castro brothers while their political prisoners watched in mute torment from their Cuban jails. And even after Obama's naïve outreach, Fidel Castro called President Obama, "superficial."

We have seen this misplaced kindness in the endless prattle that President Obama dispenses to all and sundry as he preaches that America is no longer a super power imbued with an innate decency and morality: it is merely the equal of all other nations.

Mr. President, is America now the equivalent of the Iranian theocracy, the Sudanese, Syrian and Saudi Arabian autocracies, the North Korean dictatorship, the basket cases of Zimbabwe and Somalia?

"he shrugged off the pleas of French President Sarkozy to visit the WW II graves of some 12,500 American soldiers who died on the Normandy beaches because, 'it might offend the Germans.'"

[DooDahhhh]

What an A** wipe Bambi is! He either supports America or he does not. And that means he respects our dead that died for our country. If those little fools cannot figure out how to show respect, they should not hold the job.

[presently no screen name]

cannot figure out how to show respect,

remember his non-salute to the flag? Running for the highest office in the land, on stage, on TV - others have their hand on their heart - and he still doesn't do it. He can figure it out - it's simply he doesn't respect America/flag and he showed it to all which includes those that voted for him. It was known before election, what he really is.

[DooDahhhh]

I think a lot of folks who voted for this dufus are figuring him out. It is unfortunate that Obama promised so much to the unemployed, etc., and cannot deliver. He will never be able to deliver for them. All the “yes we can” was for Obamba himself to get elected and means nothing to anyone else.

Obama is a communist traitor mole. It’s the only explanation.
