The Incredible Shrinking Presidency
Remember when Mitt Romney said that Russia was our greatest geopolitical foe? I remember how the media trashed him for stating the obvious. Obama had been caught talking about increased flexibility after he was re-elected, and everyone was saying that things had changed to the point that Russia wasn't our enemy anymore. The trust was so great that Obama practically turned over our manned space program to the Russians. Well, now we discover that Russia isn't the friend Obama and the left tried to make us believe and that Mitt Romney was spot on. They even claimed ironically that Romney would get us into a war with Syria. All of the slogans and false platitudes are coming back to haunt Obama.
Obama attempted to make Romney look like a political novice during the campaign, but it appears that Obama himself proved to be the novice, as predicted. We are currently embroiled in a major international scandal because Obama cannot convince enough allies (If we have any anymore) to go along with his plans to attack Syria for using chemicals on his own people. Problem is, nobody can prove he did it much less say that this is the worst thing going on in the Middle East today. Muslims are in the process of clearing out Christians in just about every country that was involved in the "Arab Spring". Nobody seems to care that Christians are under attack in Libya, Iraq, Turkey, Sudan, you name it. In Libya women who were raped by Qaddaffi's men were put to death for their sins. To Obama this is Democracy in action.
I wonder what the US would be like today if Obama hadn't won re-election. It's clear that we wouldn't be going to war in yet another country. That much is sure.
