America's most famous Not Ready For Prime Time Player
On more than one occasion during the 2008 campaign, I stated for the record that candidate B. Hussein Obama was not ready for prime time, presidentially speaking.
Ever since Obama's sainted ass was inaugurated, his administration has lurched from one awkward moment to another; and one of the most awkward of these awkward moments came when White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked this question: Is America engaged in a "war on terror"? Gibbs, of course, ducked the question. (Hell, he wouldn't have even been asked the question if not for a brave Fox News reporter -- that's a story in and of itself.) His "uh" and "ah" and stutter-filled response to the question, however, is just more proof that Obama was not/is not ready for prime time ... just like I said.
Now, most politically astute folks know that Obama signed an executive order to close the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay (which fulfilled a promise he made to the Moveon.org crowd when he was a long-shot presidential candidate). What these same folks might not know is this: Obama has admitted, for the record, that some of thugs who could get turned loose when he closes the Guantanamo Bay prison might just engage in terrorist activities again. Jesus. That's pretty stunning.
Check this out (from cwfpac.com):
We got a stunning glimpse into President Obama’s mindset yesterday when he told NBC the following: "Can we guarantee that they’re [GITMO prisoners] not going to try to participate in another attack? No. But what I can guarantee is that if we don’t uphold our Constitution and our values … that will make us less safe. And that will be a recruitment toll for organizations like Al Qaeda." Once again the president, educated in some of America’s most elite schools, is demonstrating he has no clue about the nature of America’s jihadist enemies.
Does he really believe that the jihadists who throw acid in the faces of girls who want to go to school; who behead civilians like Daniel Pearl; who send homicide bombers into synagogues, restaurants and buses to blow up Jews; who shot Russian school children in the back in Beslan; who use civilians as human shields in Gaza; and who are right now plotting to kill a hundred thousand Americans with weapons of mass destruction – does he really think they care one iota about whether a prisoner in GITMO is given the constitutional protections afforded American citizens?
If these thugs ever defeat us, our Constitution is the first thing they would burn! They have fought us in Iraq and Afghanistan to make sure their fellow Muslims never have a chance to experience the freedom and liberty we take for granted here.
The president has no idea what we are facing, as evidenced by his "apology" to the Muslim world in his first television interview. He is signaling breathtaking weakness every day – and that is why we are less safe!
