Obama asks Russia for 'space' through election [Disgusting: Obama caught on audio selling out USA]

Politico ^ | 3/26/2012 | Jennifer Epstein

[Prospero]

So the post-modern Democrat Party is the greatest internal threat to the well-being of the United States since the ancient Democrat Party split, prior to the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860?

[montag813]

Romney MUST respond forcefully to this outrage this morning. Put this creep on the defensive to start the week.

[sodpoodle]

Drudge doesn’t have this bombshell up yet. Guess he’s waiting for Romney’s response;)

[boomop1]

Give him back his rattle and pacifier.

[sten]

we need to call our congress critters and ask / tell / demand they move to block / safeguard what’s left of our national secrets / defensive capabilities

my expectations will be a ‘bring down this wall’ moment for 0failure... as he takes down the missile shield by laying it bare to russia and china in an ‘act of good faith’

of course, this will come just moments after the last nuclear warhead has been dismantled and it’s nuclear payload ‘recycled’ in a reactor somehow

[kalee]

This is real news, which the Zimmerman circus will keep shoved to the background. We are in serious trouble and there’s no help in sight.

[raybbr]

Romney MUST respond forcefully to this outrage this morning. Put this creep on the defensive to start the week.

That. Or, Romney will say, "We have to give the president some space. He's doing what he thinks is best for the country."

Fifty-fifty odds on which tack he takes.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

Romney MUST respond forcefully to this outrage this morning. Put this creep on the defensive to start the week.

Romney has his own list of 180s to do after the election.

[kabar]

The height of arrogance or is Obama so sure of his voter fraud machine that the outcome of the election is not in doubt. Hopefully, the Stupid Party will use this audio to nail this Marxist.

[DJ Frisat]

“This is my last election,” Obama said in audio that could be heard on the TV pool’s recording and that POLITICO listened to. “After my election I have more flexibility.”

He has a way with bone-chilling statements, doesn't he?

While this was said in the context of one specific instance, we need to take his warning to heart. Make no mistake: Re-election of this man will give him license to do and take what he wants, unbound by Constitutional limits or effective political opposition.

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com

A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[not win it -etl]

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert [they are NOT on "hair-trigger alert" now -etl], and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

2008 Pentagon Report (March 2008):
China's Growing Military Space Power
By Leonard David
Special Correspondent, SPACE.com
March 6, 2008

GOLDEN, Colorado — A just-released Pentagon report spotlights a growing U.S. military concern that China is developing a multi- dimensional program to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by its potential adversaries during times of crisis or conflict.

Furthermore, last year's successful test by China of a direct-ascent, anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon to destroy its own defunct weather satellite, the report adds, underscores that country's expansion from the land, air, and sea dimensions of the traditional battlefield into the space and cyber-space domains.

Although China's commercial space program has utility for non- military research, that capability demonstrates space launch and control know-how that have direct military application. Even the Chang'e 1 — the Chinese lunar probe now circling the Moon — is flagged in the report as showcasing China's ability "to conduct complicated space maneuvers — a capability which has broad implications for military counterspace operations."

Obama To Betray Missile Defense Secrets To Moscow
Investor's Business Daily ^ | January 9, 2012 | IBD staff

Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.

It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.

He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 — linchpin of our missile defense — might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.

Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.

The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology.

It's all about the Putin-ChiCom-Chavez-Iran-Obama "new world order".

“We are creating a new world, a balanced world. A new world order, a multipolar world,” Chavez told reporters during a visit to Communist China, one of many. His “new world order” includes [RUSSIA], China, Iran,... and a significantly weakened United States, he explained.

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

Even CBS news this morning is reporting Obama was caught saying something like “I will have more flexibility after the election.”

*******

For once, Obama has been truthful when he made the statement above for this reason: Once President Obama loses the Nov. 2012 election, he will have all the flexibility he wants, because he won't have a job anymore.

[Lady Lucky]

Ergo, this election comes down to Etch-a-Sketch vs. BO-flex.

Both have hidden agendas and everybody knows it. I bet Santorum thinks we’re all crazy.

[NCC-1701]

“...Romney MUST respond forcefully to this outrage this morning. Put this creep on the defensive to start the week....”

Newt will. You can count on it. Unfortunately, he won’t be our nominee. He’d be Ø’s worst nightmare, next to Sarah Palin.

[Lady Lucky]

I’m putting in a shop request here. The HOPE posters need to be changed to FLEX or maybe SPACE.

[firebrand]

Cutting a political deal over national security

You nailed it.

Now it remains to be seen if this is too "abstract" for the man in the street to get outraged about. I would bet it is.

It would take an actual nuclear attack to make most people worry.

[raybbr]

...give him license to do and take what he wants, unbound by Constitutional limits or effective political opposition.

He's already operating that way. He needs to go - now!

If he's re-elected the U.S. is over.

I cry for my children. They are too young to understand the horror coming our way.
