This story made a sound emanate from me that can best be described as one part chortle and one part guffaw. All that crap Obama campaigned on about “restoring America’s standing in the world” hasn’t worked out so well. Not that I’m surprised by that.
Keep in mind this is a James Carville poll:
The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin — 51 percent to 41 percent — Americans think the standing of the U.S. dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama’s presidency.
“This is surprising, given the global acclaim and Nobel peace prize that flowed to the new president after he took office,” said pollsters for the liberal-leaning organizations.
Actually, it’s not a surprise at all. Americans are not as stupid as liberals would like to believe. We know when Europe is gushing over our president and giving him a Nobel peace prize for doing nothing — something is not right.
When Europe is in love with us we’re doing something wrong. The only time Europe is in love with us is when we’re not doing what must be done to protect ourselves and the free world from danger. It means we’re not ruffling feathers or rocking the boat like we should be. It means we’re becoming pussies like them.
Here’s more of the poll: (emphasis mine)
The Democrats’ gap on national security has widened on several other fronts:
• “Keeping America safe”: Democrats now trail by 13 points (34 percent to 47 percent.) The gap was just 5 points in July 2008.
• “Ensuring a strong military”: Democrats trail by 31 points (27 percent to 58 percent.)
• “Making America safer from nuclear threats”: Democrats trail by 11 points (34 percent to 45 percent,) “despite the president’s strong actions and speeches on steps to reduce nuclear dangers,” the pollsters said.
That last one really makes me laugh. It really shows just how completely out of touch Democrats are. They can’t understand why Obama’s promise to cut America’s nuclear stockpile in half doesn’t make Americans feel safer.
We should be replacing some of our nukes with next generation nukes and bolstering our deterrent just as Russia and China are doing.
The bottom line here is that Barack Obama will be a one-term president (and a piss poor one at that) if he doesn’t wise up and start acting like a real leader. We don’t need some pussy ass ACLU law professor spewing failed liberal policies at us from behind a teleprompter.
In short, the president needs to grow a pair and move to the center. It’s time to stow Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi and “Dingy” Harry Reid under the rear axle of his old campaign bus.
