Have we become a turncoat nation under Obama’s foreign policy?

Has Barack Obama’s foreign policy led us to become a “turncoat nation”? First, as Bill Whittle carefully explains in his latest Firewall video, one has to understand what “turncoat” actually means. It doesn’t indicate treason, but switching sides — with a healthy inference of surrender, to boot. Certainly we see that in the sudden desire to cast Israel as the intransigent in the Middle East, as Whittle states, but it’s hardly the only example, and certainly not the first:

It seems like Obama is trying to establish the US as some sort of context-free arbiter of world issues, which might be a useful role for an academic or someone within the State Department. However, the US President should first look after US interests and nurture American alliances. As example after example shows, Obama keeps “resetting” relations with friends in order to build up some credibility with antagonists and enemies. The problem with this approach is that we end up losing our friends and scoring no points with nations inclined to oppose or attack us, and the example last week of Israel and the Palestinians is perfect in demonstrating this.

Look for America to see itself “cursed” for throwing Israel under the bus.

America has not thrown Israel under the bus,
but Obama certainly has and he should be
the recipient of God’s wrath.

One can only hope.

[crosshairs]

The nation hasn’t. The enemy occupying the White House has.

[Hardraade]

Yes.

25th amendment before it’s too late.

[Psalm 144]

“Look for America to see itself “cursed” for throwing Israel under the bus.”

The leaves are already withering, are they not?

[Biggirl]

Sadly, it ends up that America becomes the one that is the recipient of God’s wrath.

Thanks Nachum.

No it doesn't.

Obama is trying to destroy the US Constitution and usher in shariah law throughout the world. Annihilation of Israel and the rest of the world Jewry is just one of the agenda items.

His stimulus that didn't stimulate, federal bailouts of industries that continue in a downward spiral, the prevention of energy production (oil, coal, shale, nuclear, hydroelectric in case you hadn't noticed), attempts at raising taxes, massive increase in "employment" in the public sector "jobs" that are created to put his constituents back to "work" -- all that was done in order to give the sheeple something to worry about, while simultaneously fostering dependence. And that's nothing new for a leader of the Party of the Single Party State.

All the while, partisan media shills continue with their lullaby, our tax dollars (and burden of federal debt) are in part used to underwrite that lullaby, and -- in what has to be the script-flip of the millennium -- Cynthia McKinney becomes the voice of reason:

• Former Dem Congresswoman Gives Pro-Gaddafi Message On State TV
• Dem Rep. Cynthia McKinney Appears on Libyan State TV, Denounces American Policies
• Former U.S. congresswoman McKinney speaks on state TV in Libya ["Is that a bomb?" McKinney asked]
• Cynthia McKinney Blasts Obama On Libyan TV

What angriates me is the “Have WE”, or “Are WE” crapola.

They should leave me out of the we. They really should.

[SunkenCiv]

It comes with the territory, literally.

Obama’s gotta go, before there really is no “we the people”.
