Yesterday, President Obama agreed with Russia's Medvedev that we would both "cut back" on our nuclear weaponru and delivery systems.
Sounds good, on the surface. But a thinking person would first question whether the Russians would live up to their end - they have not, in the past. But even if they were to follow through, a thinking person would come to realize that while we would be giving up modern, functional weapons and delivery systems, Russia would be giving up antiquated weapons and systems that no longer have any use, because the systems have not been maintained since the U.S.S.R. broke up in the 80's.
In essence, we would give up serious power and strength, while Russia would only be throwing out the trash.
NOT a good trade, by any standard.
And now Mr. Obama is in Italy at the G-8 Summit. And I can only wonder what he plans to give away now...
- He would give up our defensive weapons
- He would give up our industries to India and China by taxing them out of the country
- He would give up our grandchildren's future with crippling debt
- He would give up 2.3 jobs to create 1 "green" job
- He would give up ownership of large portions of America to China, who holds our debt - how would they foreclose?
- He would give up our inheritance of quality health care in favor of a government system that has been tried elsewhere and did not work
- He continually gives away our self-respect and honor by apologizing for America and its values
- And he has given away our history, telling Russia that we were NOT the driving force that ended the Cold War
I can only speak for myself, but I do not think America should be giving up ANYTHING to countries who do not even like us, and never support us. A bunch of rag-tag socialists who need to bring America down to their level in order to feel secure, and share our wealth.
To quote Mr. Obama, yes, we DO need change. But not the kind he is trying to shove down our throats.
