Barack Obama, Georgia, Iran, Russia

Barack Obama weak choice for President in face of Russian and Iranian expansionist threats

by  • 

Syndicated talk-radio host Mark Levin spoke tonight about the invasion of Georgia and the possibility of Russia also invading other nations that became independent after the Soviet Union’s demise. In addition, Iran continues to export terrorism and threaten the interests of the United States. Those nations, as well as threats that have yet to emerge, make Barack Obama a weak choice for President. His socialist domestic agenda would greatly diminish America’s ability to defend itself and assist its allies:

Barack Obama has indicated that he would weaken our armed forces and defund the Strategic Defense Initiative:

Wanting to rid the world of nuclear weapons is a noble thought yet “just words” are not going to stop countries like Iran from developing or using them. Unilaterally ending SDI’s development is reckless.

Barack Obama, Election 2008

Obama: Flimflam man?

Flashback 2004: Newly elected Sen. Barack Obama, explaining why he won’t run for president in 2008:

“I am a believer in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the senate. Now, there’s some people who might be comfortable doing that, uh, but I’m not one of those people.”

Here’s the video:

Obama has missed 248 votes (44.8%) in the current Congress, from January 2007 through June 2008. So, the question is, between starting his first job working in federal government on January 3, 2005, and essentially abandoning his duties as senator in January 2007 to “apply for a job” as President of the United States, where’s the evidence that he “knows what he’s doing?”

I made a few more observations over at Family Security Matters.
