A Patriotic American Here are a few of many examples of what a patriotic American president does not do:

•  Bankrupt this country and court massive inflation in order to implement his vision of a fascist/socialist nation.
•  Sit on his hands with a straight face while a South American thug insults his country.
•  Appoint America-haters to his cabinet.
•  Cozy up to a soon-to-be-nuclear-armed Iranian madman.
•  Impotently watch the probably-already-nuclear-armed North Korean Stalinists lob a ballistic missile across the Pacific.
•  Fail to stanch the flow of illegal aliens across the Mexican-United States border.
•  Cut the defense budget.
•  Strangle innovation during a serious recession by raising taxes.
•  Close Guantanamo Bay without a clue of how to handle the enemy combatants incarcerated there.
•  Publicly announce what measures military and CIA interrogators can use to extract information from terrorists.
•  Apologize to the world for what has made America great and grovel to persons, nations. and institutions unfit to shine our shoes!
•  Cede American sovereignty to the American-hating United Nations.
•  Defy the Second Amendment and a Supreme Court decision by making an end run that substantially reduces the supply of certain ammunition.
•  Repudiate the policy and practice of missile shield installation."

NY Post writer Ralph Peters, a former military intelligence officer, sums up the hate-America core tenets of the "Obama Doctrine" as follows:

(1) We’re to blame,
(2) Problems can be negotiated away,
(3) Problems that can’t be talked out can be bought off,
(4) Islamist terrorism doesn’t exist,
(5) It’s all our fault,
(6) Israel’s the obstacle to Middle East peace,
(7) Our nukes threaten world peace and we need to get rid of them,
(8) Our military is dangerous,
(9) Our intelligence services are even more dangerous than our military,
(10) It’s only torture if we do it, and
(11) Blame President George W. Bush.

Obama is doing many things to demoralize and destabilize America:

•  the timing of and the release of the torture memos and photographs, revisiting the trauma of this once again
•  mandatory service bill
•  the budget and bailout mess for which taxpayers are on the hook
•  the intervention of government in banking, the auto industry, and health care
•  the resettling of Palestinians in America at taxpayers expense
•  the release of GITMO prisoners into American cities
•  the failure to respond to the pirate hostage ordeal
•  DHS accusations that Americans who believe in the Constitution are threats and potential terrorists
•  The buzzing of New York with Air Force One
•  The threat to prosecute past administration officials, never done in American history but very similar to that actions that occur after a coup in other countries

What he's done worldwide could be deemed treason:

•  In France, Obama told his audience that America "has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive" toward Europe.
•  In Prague, Obama – in true utopian-kindergarten fashion – pledged "with conviction" that America will "seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons." In other words, destroy big bad America’s ability to defend itself!
•  In London, Obama made clear that the world’s financial wealth was no longer made by those inferior leaders Roosevelt and Churchill, effectively ceding America’s leading role in creating and sharing wealth to nations that have never measured up to our country’s bountiful generosity or spirit of free-market entrepreneurship.
•  In Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Obama sat passively while the Marxist Chavez handed him an American-bashing book and delivered another revile-America speech, while never once rising to defend our country.
•  In Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Obama again sat passively while the Marxist Ortega blamed the United States for a century of what he called terroristic U.S. aggression in Central America, again emitting not a whisper of defense on our country’s behalf.
•  In Turkey, Obama said -- incredibly and inaccurately -- that America was not a Christian nation.
•  And in his recent trip to Mexico, Obama said that the escalating border violence was essentially America’s fault.
•  Obama abrogated America’s strategic commitment to the defense of our ally Japan when his administration reacted to North Korea’s ballistic missile test by saying the U.S. would only shoot the missile down if it targeted U.S. territory.
•  Obama slapped our ally India when he refused to make ending Pakistan’s support for jihadist terror groups attacking India a central component of its strategy for contending with Pakistan and Afghanistan.
•  Obama failed to assure our ally Iraq that democracy and freedom will be secured before U.S. forces are withdrawn next year.
•  Obama de facto abandoned our allies in Eastern Europe when he announced his intention to forge a new alliance with Russia. "The Czech, Polish, Georgian and Ukrainian governments," Glick says, "were quick to recognize that Obama’s strong desire to curry favor with the Kremlin and weaken his own country will imperil their ability to withstand Russian aggression."
•  Obama "is sacrificing the U.S.’s alliance with our ally Israel "in a bid to appease the Arabs and Iran by supporting the immediate establishment of a Palestinian state," which, Glick warns, "requires Israel to commit national suicide in exchange for `peace.’" Obama also made clear "that from the administration’s perspective, an Israeli strike that prevents Iran from becoming a nuclear power is less acceptable than a nuclear-armed Iran." In addition, Obama sent Hamas $900 million of foreign aid, "channeled through the UNRWA, a United Nations front filled with Hamas operatives"
•  Obama slapped our ally England when he returned the bust of Winston Churchill to Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
•  Obama slapped our ally Colombia and its president Alvaro Uribe when he refused to submit the free trade deal with Bogota to the Senate.

Obama managed to do all of this in 100 days.  Just imagine what he can accomplish in his next 1360 days?  It boggles the mind.  Will we have a country left?

More Obama Intimidation The march of corporatism continues today as the Obama administration’s "stress tests" for TARP-funded financial institutions await release.  Now the Obama administration has heavily hinted that it will expect these institutions to change management if they don’t do well on these mid-term exams, apparently aiming for the decapitation of CEOs at companies like CitiGroup and BankAmerica just as Obama did with General Motors.

As has been leaked (of course) the banks will have 30 days to come up with a plan once the results are made public.

One very interesting note, which David Zaring picked up on, is that in this 30 day period "…firms will need to review their existing management and board in order to assure that the leadership of the firm has sufficient expertise and ability to manage the risks presented by the current economic environment."

In other words, if you’re on the least-favored CEO list -- we’re looking at you Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit and BankAmerica  CEO Ken Lewis -- it’s time to start talking about succession, planning for the future and resignation.

Once again, Obama sticks his fingers into the boardrooms, through the facility of TARP funding.  Under normal conditions, of course, the US government would have absolutely no say in the hiring decisions and compensation practices in the private sector, leaving those policies to stockholders.  This White House has shown itself adept at using TARP as a lever to force companies to bend to their will and dance to their tune.
Obama Sounds Death Knell For Nuclear Power Under the guise of cutting wasteful spending, President Obama is terminating support for the Yucca Mountain spent nuclear fuel repository in Nevada.  While not unexpected, this development means that there will be no place to store nuclear waste, probably for decades, other than at temporary storage locations at each of the nation's nuclear power plants.

This termination decision was one among several contained in a document titled "Terminations, Reductions, and Savings" which were announced today by the White House to cut $17 Billion from the FY2010 budget.

It seems disingenuous to suggest that canceling the Yucca Mountain project is going to help taxpayers, since the project is funded not by the taxpayer, but by the Nuclear Waste Fund.  The Fund has about $30 Billion which is derived from an assessment on nuclear utilities based upon the amount of electricity generated.

This action will likely forestall the construction of new nuclear power plants which incorporate advanced safety and reliability features.  These promising designs would add additional electric generating capacity without the huge carbon footprint of coal fired plants, which the Obama administration also opposes.

The Yucca Mountain decision is another example by this Administration where energy policy is driven by the liberal left rather than a realistic assessment of our energy options.

In denying this nation the benefits of clean, reliable nuclear power, Obama has eliminated the one energy option which has successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions on a large scale basis.  Instead, we embark upon a hopeful, sustainable energy future using green technologies which are uneconomical and in many cases, unproven.

World-wide, other nations, such as France, Japan and the United Kingdom are turning to nuclear power to meet their obligations under the Kyoto Protocol for greenhouse gas emissions since sustainable technologies cannot bridge the gap between supply and demand.
Obama Cuts Slain Officers Program Obama wants to cut almost in half a benefits program for the families of slain police and safety officers.

The president's proposed budget calls for cutting the Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits Program from $110 million to $60 million.

The Justice Department insisted no one would lose benefits.  "Any family member who is eligible for benefits under this program will receive them," said Justice Department spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz.

Budget documents say the reduction is being made because "claims are anticipated to decrease," apparently because the number of officers killed in the line of duty has been decreasing.

The proposal is being made just days before Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to attend ceremonies in Washington honoring slain officers.

"It makes us kind of nervous. While we aren't panicking, it certainly has increased our concern, coming a week before National Police Week," said Suzie Sawyer, executive director of Concerns of Police Survivors, a group taking part in next week's events.

Sawyer said as long as the number of police and safety officers killed doesn't increase too much, the amount of money offered in the budget could be enough.  And she noted that in the past, the government has found more money for the program when it needed more, such as following the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

The program pays benefits of more than $300,000 to the survivors of a safety officer killed in the line of duty.

There were 133 police officers killed in the line of duty last year, the lowest amount since 1960, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

The group said killings of police officers are up 21 percent so far in 2009, compared to the same period the year before.
