OBAMA 2012: HIS TRIUMPHS ABROAD

New York Post ^ | 11/1/08 | RALPH PETERS

Looking back on the four years of his first administration, President Obama can be proud: He made the US welcome among the family of nations again; he reduced our reliance on military force; and he gave us peace by reaching sensible accommodations with our enemies.

The lies told about him in the 2008 election were exposed as sheer bigotry. Far from being "soft on radical Islam," President Obama was the first world leader to welcome Jewish refugees after Iran's nuclear destruction of Israel's major cities (his only caveat - a fair one - was the refusal to accept Zionist military officers and their families, in light of Israel's excessive retaliation).

He also demonstrated his resolve in the face of extremism when he overruled the obstructionist advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and ordered our military to cross the border into Pakistan in force. The subsequent debacle, as Pakistan cut off supply routes to Afghanistan and threatened a nuclear response, was entirely the fault of our generals on the ground, not of the administration.

Fortunately, President Obama's willingness to talk to our enemies rescued the situation. After laying down their arms, our troops were allowed to evacuate Pakistan and Afghanistan in peace. The Taliban's return to power in Kabul did not result in an excessive bloodbath, and al Qaeda is not permitted the unrestricted freedom it enjoyed in the country prior to 2001.

Our relations with the Muslim world have rarely, if ever, been better. The current $320 per barrel price of oil allows long-oppressed states to develop themselves without the yoke of neo-colonialism or invasive efforts to force democracy upon their populations. As UN Ambassador Ayers noted, "We can state with pride that the US not only respects, but embraces cultural differences."

A creepy foreshadowing...

I couldn’t believe some of the comments at NYPo’s site. Those libs are so ignorant. They have 0 clue what they’re voting into office.

[Iron Munro]

Obama will be a a kinder, more gentler Pol Pot.

Will they grade us on the curve in the Re-education camps?

[BAW]

Scary . . really scary.

The “newsies” are just beginning to realize? Hardly. There are none so blind as those who will not see and such blindness is but one of the symptoms of the msm with regard to 0bama. They are too busy courting favor with their chosen one to notice what he really is.

I used to think this stuff was clap trap.

FYI Lawrence Eagleberger calls Barrack Hussein Obama a charlatan on the Mike Huckabee show.

And the Obama Youth will ensure people kneel down to adore The Dear Leader!

Better to die on my feet.

They'll have to get to me by climbing over the dead bodies of those who tried before them.

[originalbuckeye]

I think they're starting to get it. It took McCain a while to realize they weren't really his friends. The newsies are just starting to realize they will only have access to 0bama if they print favorable stories. No truth allowed. Remember the two TV stations that had their access cut off because Biden was asked pertinent, tough questions?

[wingsof liberty]

No free press, only stories that he approves!

Its called state-run media, and its coming to a state near you.

[GBA]

Yes, I remember. What I don't know is how the remaining newsie types have reacted or what their reactions might yet be. I want to believe, but the last of my faith in the media was used up with Clinton. The majority have done nothing since then to restore it. They are lost, but I hope they may yet find their way. The lady in Orlando you refer to is an example of what journalism once was and may yet be again, but they have to earn the trust they squandered writing about their 0bama tingles.

[jackshel]

I couldn’t agree more,for it's far better to die on your feet a citizen then live on your knees a subject.And if that time should come let us remember Nathan Hale,when the haughty British officer asked him in a condescending tone “do you wish to say anything confess regrets?”his response in a voice loud and clear filled with pride,”MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I HAVE BUT ONE LIFE TO GIVE MY COUNTRY”

[originalbuckeye]

Agree completely. I understood Big Media during the Whitewater Hearings. The L A Times had a story that said Ken Starr's attorneys were using ‘desperate tactics’ while Clinton's lawyers were credited with ‘sophisticated maneuverings’. I figured both sides were acting the same but I caught the bias. I cancelled my subscription to the LAT then.

USAPravda.

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Thanks for the ping, Tolik..please add me to your “nailed it” list.

[DCPatriot]

If any of these scenarios come to be....will light a candle before the Baby Jesus “Infant of Prague”, that a patriotic Secret Service agent will save the United States of America.

Also predict that before 2010, there will be ‘President’ Joseph Biden.

[Ancesthntr]

Let's save this, and reread it in 4 years to see (unless McCain-Palin pulls out a miracle.)

Better save it on a hard drive or print it out - who knows if there'll be a FR in 4 years.
