“Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different. And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action.”Hmmm. One year later, one wonders where the Obama concern for “slaughter and mass graves” is with respect to the carnage in Syria, where the UN estimates at least 7,500 innocent Syrians have been murdered by the brutal regime of President Assad? Of course, that was then, and this is now. In 2011, there were no U.S. elections on the horizon to fret about, although Team Obama was already in campaign mode, and was looking to advance the notion that Obama was strongly committed to rooting out tyranny in the name of Democracy and individual liberty. However in 2012, with elections just months away, Obama knows that the nation is weary of spending American blood and treasure on wars in Muslim nations. Still, the question deserves to be asked: Is Obama’s “Blind Eye” Causing Deaths in Syria?

For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
