The Elegant Appeaser in Chief

Why would Obama return the bust of Winston Churchill,which was a gift to the American people after 9/11,instead of giving it to the Smithsonian or quietly stashing it in storage? Why insult the entire country and the memory of one of the greatest leaders and protectors of freedom in history? Is it because of Great Britain's imperialist history and how they treated people of color over a 100 years ago or was it Great Britain's role in the foundation of Israel,or actions they took in Kenya decades ago? The president seems unable to move beyond race and get on with his new job,which is leading the country forward,not looking back at some injustice from over a 100 year ago. Seems like something Rev Wright might have done. Sure seems as if Obama was paying a lot more attention to the 20 years of Rev Wright sermons he sat through than he claims.

Then to add injury to insult he gave our best and only reliable ally a 25 DVD movie set from Blockbuster. Does he not realize that these movies are also shown in Great Britain? Surely no one experienced in White House protocol selected this shabby gift ? Didn't Sean Penn call Obama an elegant man at this year's Academy Awards Ceremony,maybe he was referring to the manner in which Obama reads from his ever present teleprompter? Giving the PM of our oldest and most trusted ally a Blockbuster Movie Set is as far from elegant as one can get. Either Obama hates the British or he is clueless on protocol relating to visiting heads of state. Does Obama not realize that Brown has seen all these movies as have most people in the world? Does Obama know that Brown is going blind? Maybe it was a practical joke? Can anyone imagine if Bush or any Republican has insulted not only Britain but the US is such a manner? The mainstream media would be having a field day and the comedians would be lampooning them. But the US media barely mentions these disgraceful acts.

This embarrassing episode follows Obama's first attempt at international intrigue in which he offered to throw the Czechs and Pols underneath the bus if Russia would handle the free worlds Iran problem. Huh? Has this guy been reading history or know anything of current events? Russia loves Iran and the misery it causes the US. Why does Obama think they they are aiding Iran? Seems Obama put his offer in writing rather than the time tested method of sending a secret emissary to test the waters before committing to dumping on the Czechs and Pols. Now the Pols and Czechs know we are not to be trusted and our enemies Russia and Iran have been given evidence that supports what they already knew, Obama is a weak and naive leader who will choose appeasement on issues of national security or when confronted.

As each day goes by it becomes more apparent Obama and his team are not ready for prime time or day time. We still wait for details on the banking plan that Tiny Tim Geitner and Obama have promised on numerous occasions and this we week learned Obama thinks the stock market is a tracking poll. He is right on one thing,our educational system is to blame for many of the present problems. How did this guy graduate or even get into Harvard and who would vote for a guy who has never had a real job in his life,never managed,never led,never crafted legislation,and rarely showed up for work as State senator or US senator,which for the record are not real jobs.
