Our Man in Egypt?


Today, President Obama delivered a conciliatory (apologetic) speech before a packed auditorium in Cairo. It seems that the president wants to reinvent the American Image abroad; But, at what cost? By apologizing about everything that the U.S. has done prior to him becoming president? No torturing on my watch.. Is he the president of the world, or was he just elected (by the U.S. voters) to represent the United States?

Well, this past week has been one big hype-fest. Starting with Nancy Reagan visiting the White House, and observing President Obama signing legislation; When she commented: "Oh, you're a lefty". Also, coinciding this week was the unveiling of a 7 foot bronze statue of Ronald Reagan.

In North Korea there is an issue with two "U.S. reporters" that are being detained against their will. The journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee have been in custody for 2 1/2 months.

Last month, Iran released a "U.S. reporter" Roxana Saberi who served four months for spying; She was finally released because of the international outcry over her case.

These are just a few of the recent incidents that I believe are the consequences of President Obama's persistent blame game. There must be a method to his madness. But, where does it end? And when does the logical phase begin? So far it's been: America's bad; I'm good!

Speaking of blame; Can you blame North Korea for defying the U.S. and the international community with it's several nuclear tests, or rocket launches? Do they see a friend, or a foe in Obama? Meanwhile, Iran continues it's path to achieve nuclear capability. Will Obama hinder (impede) them from reaching their goal? Not, really!

To top off the week's events there is an ongoing propaganda campaign called "Inside the Obama White House" with Brian Williams on NBC. They have stretched that charade for several days: Tuesday and Wednesday prime-time shows; Plus, during the evening news vignettes about the same repetitive story. The Portuguese Water Dog aka "BHO" playing for the camera, etc. Is this news? Or, is this malarkey and monkey shines; Wag the dog, dog and pony show, galore?

Then there's the latest (long over-due, what timing?) audio-video threats from the Al-Qaeda nemesis and Company: Pakistan, blah, blase, blah!
Osama Bin Laden defaming Obama - Biden...
