Obama lets down friends.

This is the weekend when Obama is letting down friends. First, it was the announcement that the US is reneging on deploying a defensive shield for Poland and the Czech Republic. It came on the 70th anniversary of Russia's attack on Poland in 1939. I was not in favor of deploying the missiles against Russian objections, but to give up on the idea without getting any cooperation from Russia vs Iran is a pitiful capitulation. This signals weakness and is an invitation to Iran to go ahead with its plans to construct atomic weapons that are capable of hitting Europe and the United States, besides the Middle East. This step brings us closer to a possible atomic war in the Middle East.

Not to be content with letting down the Poles and the Czechs, Obama decided to let down his friends in the Media and politics. Having gone down that opposition to ObamaCare was motivated by racism, the Media is twisting in the wind. Obama has done what Rush Limbaugh asked him to do and that makes him look weak domestically. There is one silver lining in this though. Obama's move to repudiate the charges of racism being at the bottom of opposition to ObamaCare makes Jimmy Carter look every inch the fool he really is.
