Everybody threatens Obama. Why not? He gargles the words and images of peace like Listerine. He doesn’t realize that he is not John Lennon singing some corny, adolescent song about “Give peace a chance.”

He is the head of the strongest army in the world. He has no business downgrading it or pretending that he is a saintly pacifist. You wouldn’t throw a priest into the steel cage in the MMF. Let Obama find an image other than sheep. Enough bleating and baas. Surrender is bad for us. Let Obama answer Medvedev’s threats like Kennedy or Reagan. Let him remonstrate against missiles in Kalingrad and threats of withdrawal from START. Let him speak up for our missile defense sites in Europe or at least find a way to compromise with the Russians. Why didn’t he lead compromise in the Super Committee? Why does he talk about negotiated compromise but instead choose to give speeches to tired audiences who are beginning to tune out? Obama shouldn’t just be an Illinois Senator with a present and maybe attitude. Unfortunately, he has bankrupted us so that we can hardly afford our missiles. Obama wants to be a beautiful, peaceful person. Nice. That’s not what we need for the commander-in-chief. Let him go get a job at the Vatican or in Mecca. Please leave our country alone.
