I've been trying to find a way to articulate this thought, but Neal Boortz bested my best, so what I'll do is I'll play off his lead...
North Korea launches a missile and it takes Barack Obama and the UN five days to respond. Iran holds fraudulent elections, kills protesters and it takes weeks before Barack Obama can stand up and say that he is "concerned" about the situation.
Then the people of Honduras try to uphold their constitution and laws of the land from being trampled by a Chavez-wanna be ... and it takes Barack Obama one day to proclaim that this was not a legal coup...
Why the sudden decisiveness? Where were these strong opinions on foreign matters when Iranian authorities were trampling protesters and cutting off media access to the outside world? Where was this decisiveness when Kim Jong Ill decided that he was going to launch missiles toward Hawaii on the Fourth of July? Why ... NOW ... is Obama suddenly speaking out loudly
and now I have to ask? Which coup? Or rather, to which party does BO refer? The president that sought to illegally change the constitution to allow him to run for another term? Or the military that prevented him?
Obama showed no concern for Iranians being slaughtered in the street because they dared "protest" the mullah's rigged election. Obama showed no concern for Kim Jong Il's repeated nuclear tests and threats. But he does find it concerning that a foreign leader is forcibly prevented from becoming a dictator.
Why the sudden decisiveness?
Because Barack Obama has empathy for marxists, dictators and cutthroats. He defends Muslims, equating the Palestinian's "struggle" to the Jewish holocaust, then demands Israel cease and desist all settlement expansion. He supports the rights of a people without a nation, over those WITH a nation. He supports terrorists, but not law abiding governments.
Where were these strong opinions on foreign matters when Iranian authorities were trampling protesters and cutting off media access to the outside world?
With the Iranian government. Because for the first decade of his life Barack Obama was raised as a Muslim, and his world view-- however much he claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ --is not one that could call itself typically American. He has sympathy for Islam, and ITS tenets, but not those of the west, let alone Christianity. How can I say this? During his speech in Cairo, he lumped Jesus in with Moses and Mohammad, "peace be upon them." Claiming that, within the Muslim story of Isra, the three prayed... together no less. Really? Jesus prayed with Mohammad?
Just who is Obama? Is he Cristian or is he Muslim? He says he's Christian but his actions and his words belie that confession. No Christian can say that Jesus is dead-- "Peace be upon him." No Christian, except through complete ignorance could say that Jesus and Mohammad prayed together, because Mohammad is not in Heaven.
All that aside, Barack Obama clearly shows spiritual allegiance to a god other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Clearly. Obama sides with Ahmadinejad because Obama respects Islam more than he does freedom.
Where was this decisiveness when Kim Jong Il decided that he was going to launch missiles toward Hawaii on the Fourth of July?
He was refusing to "disinvite" Iranian dignitaries to Fourth of July celebrations at US Embassies across the globe-- perhaps moot at this point since Hillary disinvited them a few days ago, but it was Hillary that publicly revoked the invitations.
So where was Obama? Evolving his stances on any number of issues pure liberal philosophy couldn't politically address.
Why NOW is Obama suddenly speaking out loudly?
Because a Chavez wannabe dictator was prevented from taking over as 'king for life'. Because it's too much of a reminder of the limits to which freedom loving peoples will be pushed, and no further.
Read Boortz's whole post. Read for yourself the lengths to which the Honduran president went to circumvent the constitution, and then answer me this: Would American's have courage enough to do the same here should another Chavez wannabe try the same?
Oops! Wake up America!

Dan Gilgoff, writing for US News & World Report, in his piece "Obama Mentions Jesus More Than Bush but Acknowledges the Godless More, Too" says Barack Obama is "more overtly Christian" than was Bush. Here's what one commenter had to say.
Obama certainly no "overtly christian"
He has done nothing since I've known of him that would lead me to believe he is a Christian at all. Saying Jesus does not make you a Christian. Being a Christian (seeing abortion as murder, seeing homosexuality as a sin and abomination, leaving a racist church before it's politically expedient, etc.) would be "overtly Christian". Saying "Jesus" when your actions bear no relationship whatsoever to Jesus' actions, means you're "overtly political".
And to that I can only say "Amen." On top of everything else, we have a heretic in the White House.
