Obama exhorts US, allies to bolster Arab Spring

WARSAW, Poland – Holding out Poland's transformation to democracy as a model for the world, President Barack Obama on Saturday exhorted Western allies and the American public alike to extend their support, energy and vision to those now reaching for democracy in the Middle East and North Africa.

Obama wound up his six-day trip to Europe with a message aimed squarely at the people of the United States, saying that in a time of tight budgets, "I want the American people to understand we've got to leave room for us to continue our tradition of providing leadership when it comes to freedom, democracy, human rights."

Obama, in a brief news conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, assured Americans that he spends the bulk of each day worrying about the U.S. economy and how to strengthen it and create jobs. But he coupled that with the message that it is a U.S. obligation to support democracy around the globe, one that pays dividends in the form of a safer and more prosperous world.

Speaking with urgency in his voice, Obama said that while no outside country can "impose change" on another, "We can really help. We can facilitate. We can make a difference."

Obama want al Qaeda to exterminate Jews and
Christians from his 57 states and Israel.

History will show that America took the wrong side
and that the entire US Congress had not a single testicle among them.

Here stands the Usurper, in the land of Lech Walesa, which broke the back of the Evil Empire with the help of President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Acting as if "outside help" is his idea.

Yahoo news is constantly slanting their headlines to support Obama and the Democrats. How convenient that they don’t mention how Obama is actually helping Al-Queda, the very people we are at war with. They also completely ignore how this uprising is targeting Jews and Christians. Christians have been killed, some set on fire and churches destroyed simply because Muslims mobs think some Christian “insulted” Mohamed. Yet the media harps on how Muslims are being “hated”. Obama has been trying to push for thousands more Muslim come to the US. Why? Obama is classifying them as “refugees”. Really? Who’s persecuting them? An imaginary phantom that’s a convenient bogyman for the left. Just what we need, more Sharia-loving people who would vote to replace our Constitution, one might get the impression they’re trying to destabilize the country. Absolute BS.

Somehow the AP “forgot” to include the fact that Lech Walesa refused to meet with Obama in Poland and that the extravagant welcome for him in the UK resulted in his being smacked down by the Queen. There were probably other “oversights” and plenty of over statements as well.

Wait....didn’t this a$$hole just get his snout publicly slapped for trying to throw the freest Middle-East democracy under the bus a couple weeks ago?

With over 30% of US foreign aid going to Muslim countries that continue to eat our bread and hate our guts, this weirdo really does have a lot of nerve. He needs to be reviled and persecuted after this flop of a trip.

YOU have hit the nail on the head, and the Arab Spring is just a way of promoting the jhadists known as “the muslim brotherhood”!

So far he has fooled at least half of USA citizens, by becoming President. As for the overseas crowd, so many were already braindead, it’s just another US Pres to them.

I don't think many people realize how big a deal that really is. Being a "labor leader" makes Walesa a great hero to American unionists despite the fact that Walesa actually fought for freedom. Growing up in heavily unionized Michigan meant seeing "Solidarity" magazine everywhere.

I'm sure there are many American unionists feeling pretty confused about Walesa's refusal.

Arab Spring is a euphemism for serial revolutions with this trash pile of Middle Eastern humanity’s idea of democracy being to hit the streets every 3 weeks to overthrow whomever is in office because he failed to fix an irreparable culture. Egypt and Tunisia and now Yemen seem to be on Revolution number 2 with 3 and 4 to follow. Not a dime for these eternal losers I say.

This Muhamadobama is a real political croock who want to force the islamisation of the western world....

Lech Walesa and Karol Wojtyla (J.Paul II) are not islamo-fascists...The croock in chief missed something in his poor training.

Anyway this scum in the WH has a manufactured agenda prepared behind closed doors....US citizens must know !
In addition he wants us to fund those uncertain “revolutions”....
