First to Flee

The United States has been the storehouse of liberty and the bastion of democracy since World War I. Barack Hussein Obama does not intend to maintain this tradition. Obama is appeasing Iran and forcing the one democracy in the Middle East to kowtow to terrorists by relentlessly demanding concessions of Israel without making the Palestinians abandon their goal of pushing the Jews into the sea. With public pronouncements today, Tehran heralds victory over the West and shows no signs that the Mad Mullah's drive toward nuclear weapons has been abandoned. It is odd to see Iran feted as a peacemaker and the Jewish State called an evil incarnation of "apartheid" with the leading target of jihad being seen as the source of all the world's troubles, and the menacing sponsor of Shia terror from Lebanon to Argentina being cast as the dove and welcomed back into the community of nations. Equally concerning, a rising Communist China is supplanting American hegemony in the Pacific and roiling Asia as Team Obama retreats there as well. I did not think it was possible to bring a superpower lower than Jimmy Carter did as President, but Barack Obama has managed.
