This is what you get with Obama -- can we afford four more years?!

Obama is actively working for the destruction of the US and our sovereignty.

Can this nation survive a second Obama term? I’m becoming more doubtful.

He can sign all the treaties he wants, still needs 67 Senate votes.

Nobody believed he would be able to pass Obamacare either.

BUT don’t forget that Congress DID pass Obamacare — what makes you think he won’t bribe and blackmail enough Senators/House reps that he can’t get this passed?

It will be much simpler to simply NOT reelect him, and the ONLY way to do that is for every sensible person to run, not walk to the polls and vote for Romney to defeat Obama.

When your house is burning down, are you going to stop the firefighters from saving it, because you have a personal dislike of the particular firefighter who is trying to save your house?

That’s exactly right.

And Obama's favorite Republican backer of LOST got defeated in his primary. I doubt his example will be lost among Republican incumbents who still face primaries this year or face reelection in 2014.

We’ve down to the last six months of Obama’s first term. I think we can hang in there that long, bad as things are.

Everyone should read this article. Even us supported this treaty; scary.
Goes to show again that we need to be involved politically; especially on the all the races below President.

We can block some of this garbage if we elect the right people in the House and Senate.

Anyone thinking of sitting out the election this fall because of Romney; quit complaining and get to work for political candidates down the ticket.
Stay out of the POTUS race if you want; but work hard for other candidates.

There is no way this will be ratified by Congress.

This is plain and simple pandering to the eco left-wing base.

No doubt some rich San Francisco commie with deep pockets ordered Obama to sign this in exchange for campaign cash.

Good point. Or put it another way, the doctor that saved your life may not have a good bedside manner, but still he did his job. We can’t afford four more years of this.

That's incorrect. There is a certain binding legality on a signed treaty regardless of its ratification, that constrains the actions of the signing executive authority -- and future congressional legislation.

That is why Bill Clinton made a cottage industry of signing left-wing U.N. bullcrap "treaties" and "conventions" that would never see the light of day in the Senate. He did it to impede the U.S. and show "good faith" like a good liberal dipshit.

The next real Republican president needs to submit all these unratified treaties and conventions to the Senate for ratification. The Senate then needs to stomp on them, hard, and the president then needs to denounce and abrogate the treaty -- then the U.S. will be completely free of said treaties.

Including, if it comes down to it, the U.N. Treaty.

Of course, R-Money, the current RiNO/Yacht Club/NWO candidate, wouldn't touch any of those NWO holy grails -- hell, he would probably sign some more of 'em if Bribeme Annan and Bunko Moon pushed them Mitty's way.

Senate gears up for Law of the Sea Treaty push

http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/un-treaties/227997-senate-gears-up-for-law-of-the-sea-treaty-push

“The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has scheduled a hearing next week on the decades-old international Law of the Sea Treaty, confirming the Senate’s desire to try again for ratification after failing five years ago.

The treaty is championed by the State and Defense departments, which argue that the treaty would create a new legal framework for the peaceful resolution of territorial disputes. It has already been signed by more than 160 countries.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey are all slated to testify Wednesday, underscoring that ratification is a priority for the administration. The Senate is expected to take it up this summer.”

Just think what Obama will do in his second term...
