AMERICA ON ITS KNEES, DAY 295

“Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.”–Tom Paine, “Common Sense”, evidently becoming more uncommon all the time

“You tell me
Mistakes
Are part of being a young country,
But that don’t right the wrong that’s been done.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry,
So sorry, So sorry,
Please accept my apology.
But America is blind, and
Bush was too blind to see.”
–“I’m Sorry”, Brenda Hussein Lee

“Maybe it’s time for Valerie Jarrett to speak truth to bower.”–Mark Steyn on “The World’s Superbower”

Barack Obama bowed deeply before the Japanese emperor. It was a physically-incarnate apology for our deeply provocative act of placing Pearl Harbor underneath Japanese bombs.

Something deep within the president’s psyche demands that he debase himself before kings and emperors, especially those with whom America has fought, whether Saudi hijackers or Japanese kamikazes. But it’s a phony apology; even while groveling on his knees, he means to pump himself up by throwing America under the bus.

Newsbusters:

Defending the decision of the United States to drop nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII is not a comfortable thing to do when you’re in Japan. But if you’re President of the United States, you must do it. Diplomatically, yes. With sympathy for the civilian victims, yes. But you must do it.

But when it came time today for Barack Obama to fulfill that fundamental duty, he failed. … Obama took a deep breath, paused … and punted.

…”Present.”

Breitbart:

“It would be meaningful to me to visit those two cities in the future,” Obama said, adding, “I don’t have immediate travel plans, but it’s something that would be meaningful to me.”

“Me”.

Me. Me me me me me me me. It’s always “me” with this guy. Once upon a time, before He Came to Save Us All, other Americans also had different and immediate travel plans that were also meaningful to them. From John Dingell’s Congressional bio:

“In 1944, at the age of 18, the younger Dingell joined the US Army and prepared to fight the Axis powers in World War II. He rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant and received orders to take part in the first wave of a planned invasion of Japan in November of 1945. The Congressman has said President Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb to end the war ‘saved’ his life.”

Obama says that, according to experts (i.e.; himself), he is “America’s first Pacific President”.

You might be under the mistaken impression that it was President Fillmore, who sent Commodore Perry to open Japan. Or Teddy Roosevelt, who sent the Great White Fleet to every Pacific port worthy of the name. Or FDR, who reclaimed the Philippines or Harry Truman who answered Pearl Harbor and defended freedom in Korea or perhaps Nixon, who opened China. How about George H.W. Bush, shot down over Chichi Jima, fished out of the Pacific by a sub and later our first Chinese ambassador?

Even JFK, before he sent Green Berets across the South China Sea to Vietnam, had swam miles in the Pacific with a wounded crewman in tow. But, no, all those presidents were merely warm-up acts for Barack Obama, “America’s first Pacific President”.

Because he body-surfed in Hawaii.

And he lived in Indonesia, the country where people forget things–although he did manage to memorize the imam’s morning call to prayers.

Maybe he’s our first Pacific-Islander president, too.

Reagan could also see the Pacific from his house–but you didn’t see him claiming to be Pres. Vasco Núñez de Hússeiñ Balboa.

“It is important to pursue pragmatic cooperation with China on issues of mutual concern – because no one nation can meet the challenges of the 21st century alone, and the United States and China will both be better off when we are able to meet them together.”

Translation: “We’re no better than China.”

“We will not be cowed by threats, and we will continue to send a clear message through our actions, and not just our words: North Korea’s refusal to meet its international obligations will lead only to less security, not more.”

“And more words. But no action.”

“Now that we are on the brink of economic recovery, we must also ensure that it can be sustained.”

Translation: “We’re going to follow the same policies that gave Japan its famous ‘Lost Decade’.”

“We simply cannot return to the same cycles of boom and bust that led us into a global recession.”

“My Pledge to the Unemployed: you won’t have to worry about a economic boom as long as I’m president!”

Just when America needed a new Jack Bauer, we got New Jack Bower instead. “Not In My Name”, as they say.

Now get up off your knees and start acting like an American for a change. Even if Your Fraudulency has to fake it.
