This weeks Rant.....

Obama appears to be making a bet that his personal charm in defending America against those who are disparaging her will rebound to our benefit. His apology tour will lead to greater cooperation in advancing justice and American ideals. History suggests that an attitude of submissive weakness is not one that brings out the best in bloodthirsty dictators. Therefore: I call bullshit. Now we look like pussies. Thanks.

So far, the rest of the world has applauded Obama’s performance — and gone on to reject our requests for economic cooperation, combat troops for Afghanistan, partnership with Russia against Iran, and North Korean continuation of the six-party nuclear disarmament talks without launching long-range missiles over Japan.

Buy the T-shirt for the tour, folks, but don’t be too unhappy if they run out. It looks like we’ll have a “We Suck” tour in 2010, 2011, and 2012, too.

Funny, I was there during the campaign. I don’t remember that debate ever being held or the American people ever weighing in on it. It was all about hope and change. Hope and change. Yes we can! Yes we can! Silly simplistic chants and slogans and idealistic dreams. It was the ultimate in races for class president, which are never anything more than popularity contests. This was the ultimate American Idol, resulting from fawning Drive By Media coverage combined with a dumbed down electorate which checked their minds at the door and became content to chant “O-Baa-Ma! O-Baa-Ma! O-Baa-Ma!” like the good sheep they were. I certainly do now know it was never about substance. Or matters like having the President of the United States conducting a World Apology Tour. Not once did I hear that.... I love spewing out some compelling dialog to get people thinking...“The U.S. Sucks” tour isn’t over yet and the AP is loving it. Watch the news tonight.
