Ukraine and President Obama

Peace through strength was the mantra of the Reagan administration, but under the Obama administration is world havoc through weakness.  When you show weakness through your dealings with Iran, Egypt, Libya, Syria and apologize for the United States in your world travels, you cannot be surprised by what Putin is doing.  The whole world knows that President Obama is all talk, uses good rhetoric but they also know talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.  This is what happens when you elect a community organizer who has no world experience, business experience and surrounds himself with like ilk.  If you are a world leader that is an adversary against the United States, now is the time to take action and expand your influence and using military action will not be met with any likewise action.  But you can rest assured that President Obama will speak out against such action and then go out and play a round of golf.  

What people in this country do not understand that for the past 5 years our president has shown no backbone, has been extremely indecisive on the world stage in responding to situations and this affects both out enemies and friends.  Those countries that have been supporters of us for years are now hesitant in doing anything since they now realize the US has a weak leader that makes former Pres. Jimmy Carter look like Gen. Patton when it comes to the world stage in responding to world situations.  Whether one wishes to believe it or not, what happens globally, has repercussions in this country.   

So, if President Obama showed wisdom and had a backbone when addressing world issues, Putin would have hesitated in invading the Ukraine.  If Putin wants to, he could march all the way to Paris without a response from our president.  He knows it, Pres. Obama knows it and sadly, the world knows it.  

So, where does this leave Israel.  You had better believe, Israel will defend it self and not allow any country to steamroll over them and if that means using nuclear weapons, they will use them since their model is "Never Again", while Pres. Obama's model is "Please don't embarrass me, I will give you anything you want". 

This is what happens when you elect liberal progressives whose ideology borders on socialist/Marxism and they take control of government and all aspects of our lives.  We see this with Obamacare, Fast and Furious, IRS, NSA spying on US citizens, AP scandal, DOJ and the FCC trying to enter the news room with the intent to control what is reported.  That was and still is this administration's attempt to control what is and is not said about them.  This is what we see in Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, China and North Korea as well as other socialist/Marxist countries where freedom is what the government says it is. 

Regardless of your political affiliation, our constitution is our most important document and the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments some of the most important contained in that document.  Something this administration and their followers detest.  Of course, I might add, many republicans are not far behind this thinking.  As Thomas Jefferson once said, "Power Corrupts" and we have allowed this to fester in our elected officials for over 100 years.  Actually, the downhill respect for out constitution started with Pres. Teddy Roosevelt was accelerated with Pres. Woodrow Wilson and it has bee all downhill ever since.  However, all is not lost as many states are beginning to awaken and are starting to realize that they can call for a Constitutional Convention of states and with the vote of 38 states, pass amendments to the constitution.  Something both parties fear and if both parties fear this, you can rest assured it is a step in the right direction to right the ship.  Three amendments that should be passed immediately are, term limits, balance budget and repeal of the 17th amendment.  The 17th amendment is something you will have to read to know why and the corresponding Federalist paper.  I could tell you, but it is better if you read the constitution to fully understand what we had and why we must get it back before it is too late.  

 The election this fall may well be our last free election since the DOJ and this administration are interfering with the election process. 

Then we must search for and elect a president that has the knowledge, skills and intelligence to address world issues as well as domestic issues.  Right now, contrary to what some may think, it will not come from anyone associated, past or present, with this administration.  The only candidate I see that has these skills is former Congressman Alan West. But we know he is not a favorite of the Republican establishment and is considered by the democrats as an Uncle Tom.  The world is exploding and as much as we would like to address our domestic issues and problems, what happens around the world does affect us domestically.  We can be energy self-sufficient very quickly, but fhis administration puts of roadblocks to oil and gas exploration and we are only successful when we explore on private lands while this administration continues to push for green energy failures like Solyndra where taxpayer money was used to pay back his political supporters.  And we might add where some of this money made its way back into the democratic pockets.  If you think all the money spent on the Obamacare website (approx. $650 Million) was used just for developing a site that many experts claimed could have been done for no more than $10 million, I know of ocean front property in Nebraska and a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.  The CEO of this company based in Canada was a school mate of Michele Obama.   Nothing to see here. 

Wake up America and realize as this country goes, so does the world.  We are the only world superpower whether we like it or not, and if we continue down the Obama path, we will become another has been as the world crumples around us.  

So what do we do about Ukraine.  Actually there is not much we can do now since we have shown 5 years of weakness except take appropriate action about removing membership in the G8 and G20 and restricting travel to the US and other EU countries doing the same.  But, if I am not mistaken, Russia sends oil and gas into Europe so the EU can shoot themselves in the foot.  We must make things difficult for Russia in economic areas as they have serious domestic issues and we should exploit that weakness with the cooperation of other countries.  Payback can be a bitch if we play our cards right.  But then again, we are talking about Pres. Obama here.
