General McChrystal

I don't agree with what General McChrystal reportedly said in a Rolling Stone magazine article and I can understand the loyalty needed in the military, especially from someone  leading the fight on a war front. However, what should, but probably won't happen is Obama should dress the general down for his obvious misconduct, then reject his resignation and let him resume his important duties. There may very well be someone who can assume his duties, but unless this 'someone' has been shadowing General McChrystal and understands the situation as well as him, replacing him now would be a disaster.

Obama is too proud and arrogant to take this route. There's a lot of talk that it will make him appear weak...duh, too late for that!

Shared Blame

Certainly BP is far from blameless for the Gulf oil leak, but I find more fault with this and prior administrations, as well as the environmentalists who forced oil companies to drill in deep water. No one developed a plan to deal with leaks at 5000 feet below the ocean surface and now everyone's pointing the finger at BP and not at themselves. Completely halting all offshore drilling is as irresponsible as forcing only deep water drilling in the first place. Alternative energy sources should be pusued where they make sense, but Obama's plan to put fossil fuel exploration on the back shelf is ridiculous. Solar and wind power energy production in most of the country is extremely impractical and will never replace conventional means (oil, gas and nuclear).

Boycotting individual BP stations is equally absurd! Do people realize that by doing this they're hurting small businesses and their own local economies? Instead, we should be supporting the BP dealers.

Instead of focusing on pin wheels and sunspots, the U.S. needs to:

• Build more refineries
• Continue offshore drilling, both deep- and shallow-water 
• Build nuclear more reactors
• Vote Obama out of office in 2012

This Man Has No Business Being President Of The U.S.

Obama had absolutely nothing to add to help solve the oil crisis in the Gulf Of Mexico. All he had to say was how America is not prepared to deal with crises of this magnitude and how the oil reserves America has constitute only 2% of the world's oil reserve. He spent the entire time stating we should be moving away from oil; we need to be concentrating on other energy resources (wind, solar, etc.). He focused on how we need to change our outlook on how we get alternate power, not on how the crisis at hand should be handled. He had no suggestions on helping clean up the oil, did not push for help in cleaning it up via skimmers we (the U.S.) already have or use of other equipment from other countries. No suspension of the Jones Act...nothing. And then he has the nerve to invoke God's name; I'm surprised Allah wasn't mentioned. All he said was we need to pray for help...YES WE NEED TO PRAY, BUT WE ALSO NEED TO GET RID OF THE FRICKIN' OIL!!! THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE MORON!!

Obama's Muslim Appeasement

"I am a Muslim," Obama Tells Egyptian Foreign Minister Gheit

Islamic Coup on the White House

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, in which President Obama told him that he was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda.

Finally, during the week of 14-18th of January 2010, just on the eve of my winter tour to the US, Rachel picked up a Nile TV broadcast in which Egyptian Foreign Minister Abul Gheit said on the "Round Table Show" that he had had a one on one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda. He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare), that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.

This is according to Israel Today here. Here is the passage from the May 2010 issue of "Israel Today." It is on page 3 in an article titled "Obama, a 'Strategic Catastrophe,'" by Aviel Schneider:

The feeling among the Israeli public is that Obama is appeasing the Muslim world at the expense of Israel. “The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV.

That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term “Islamic extremism” no longer be used in official government documents and statements. Furthermore, the US is now accusing Israel of harming American interests in the Middle East. General David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, said Israel’s intransigence on resolving the conflict with the Palestinians is endangering US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even the US Congress considers Obama’s behavior toward Netanyahu humiliating. Three-quarters of the House of Representatives, 337 of 435 members, signed a bipartisan letter to Clinton expressing “deep concern over recent tension” between the two countries, and demanding that it be smoothed over quickly and in private.
