Announcing Iraq Withdraw Date Is Obama’s Most Irresponsible Action (So Far)

Barack Obama acted unwisely and irresponsibly at Camp Lejeune on February 27, 2009 when he announced America would withdraw troops from Iraq by August 31, 2010. Of course, he left the door open for 35,000 to 50,000 troops to remain in the country after that date, but the terrorists probably did not pay much attention to that part. What the terrorists heard is that America has run out of resolve and life is going to get much easier for extremist after August 31, 2010.

If Chairman Obama had proper leadership skills, he would know that one never tells the enemy when a force reduction will happen. That is information the enemy has to figure out for itself. By giving our enemy a specific timetable, Chairman Obama has allowed them to plan their calendar. Certainly, the terrorists have now decided to just lie low through August 31, 2010. The terrorists are probably assuming whatever plans they have will probably work out much better on September 1, 2010.

Little do they know, Obama rarely keeps his word. He will probably find an excuse to extend the deadline as the withdraw date gets closer. He has already lied about the withdraw at least twice. Remember when Obama was running for office? He promised the troops would start coming home in ninety days after his inauguration. At one point, Obama promised the troops would be out of Iraq during the first sixteen months of his term. He has made other promises on this topic, but there are so many contradicting statements, no one can keep track of Obama’s actual stance on this issue. At least now, we have a specific date. If America has more than 50,000 soldiers in Iraq past August 31, 2010, we will know that Obama has broken another promise.

Obama Lied to America About Control

When Barack Obama got elected in November 2008, people across America began to get concerned about the loss of their gun rights. In the weeks after the election, gun stores were filled with shoppers. Guns were flying off the shelves and gun prices increased to match the increased demand. Barack Obama, apparently aware of the Second Amendment worries, came out and said that gunowners have nothing to worry about.

On February 25, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder announced the Barack Obama administration plans to pursue a new assault weapons ban. Chairman Obama has been in office just a few weeks, and he has already gone back on his promise to gunowners. In fact, gunowners do have something to worry about. They have a lot to worry about. The Obama administration is openly admitting it intends to violate the Second Amendment.

Even worse, in the fall of 2008, when Obama assured gunowners their rights were not in jeopardy, he knew full well he was going to attack their rights in 2009. He was just simply pacifying gunowners to slow down the rate of gun sales. He probably did not like the idea of people stocking up on weapons before he could have a chance to ban them. Now that Obama finally has the opportunity to ban the guns, he is starting to reveal his intentions.

Even if you do not care about your Second Amendment rights, you should be alarmed by this sort of brazen lying. If Chairman Obama will lie to us about gun rights, he will lie to us about anything. What rights do you cherish? How can you trust Obama not to trample on them?

Democrats Are Sending American Taxpayer Dollars to Hamas-Controlled Palestine

According to Sue Pleming of Reuters, our Democrat led government plans to give around $900 million of American taxpayer money to the Palestinians in Gaza. During these horrible economic times with enormous deficits, waves of bankruptcies, and botched corporate bailouts, should we be giving nearly $1 billion to a territory where Hamas, a terrorist organization, has been democratically elected? There are a lot of Americans who could really use that money.

Barack Obama: The Audacity of Nope

Even before Barack Obama took the oath of office, he began backtracking on his campaign promises. Now that Chairman Obama is in office, he breaks another campaign promise every week. The amazing thing is how audacious Chairman Obama is about breaking his promises. The astounding thing is how Democrats tolerate all of the deception with almost no question.

How is Obama getting away with all of this? When are the Democrats going to start demanding Obama live up to his promises of change?
