OBAMA "THE WEAK"
America needs a President/Commander-in-chief that is intelligent, responsible, honest, and moral. Barack Obama has shown that he is inept in these areas.
Obama boasts in numerous speeches that he has always be against Bush’s Iraq War. Obama claims that if he would be the next Commander-in-chief, things would be different.
For someone who bases his entire campaign on his non-support of Bush’s Iraq War, then why was Obama, the only Senator, dreadfully late when General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker appeared on Capitol Hill for the second day of questioning on Bush’s Iraq War?
Obama voted against a troop withdrawals proposal in 2006. Obama advocated reduced troop levels only after he entered the presidential contest because polls illustrated a majority of voters’ support.
Next, Obama’s top economic advisor met with a Canadian embassy official in Chicago and told him that his boss is not for opting out of NAFTA as he has been stating: "…when Senator Obama talks about opting out of the free trade deal, the Canadian government shouldn't worry…it was just campaign rhetoric not to be taken seriously."
As a potential leader of America, we watched Obama’s reaction to the above situation. First Obama tried to state that the meeting did not occur; then he tried to spin the events of the meeting. As a potential president, Obama should have first been honest to Americans about the meeting, and secondly fired his economic advisor for insubordination if indeed Obama is telling the truth that his advisor met inappropriately with the Canadian. However, Obama did nothing, an illustration of his inept leadership.
America needs a strong, decisive, responsible president. Obama has shown that he lacks these attributes.
