Obama Adviser Leads Delegation to Damascus

Submitted by leah, Feb 14, 2008 22:34

Why would anyone who has been "awake" over the past several weeks, be surprised by this action? Obama appears to be extremely enthusiastic about engaging in dialogue any number of thugs, despots, dictators, etc. Perhaps, he truly believes that he is uniquely gifted with the ability to "inspire" these horrific rulers to "change" their ways. He likes to throw out the words inspire and change in all his speeches. Perhaps, Iran's leader or Syria's leader will open their hearts to him because he is such a nice guy. Could happen(?). Naive is to innocent a word to use in relationship to Barrack Obama. I don't believe for one minute that Obama is either naive or innocent. The problem is that no one really knows who the real Obama is. Will the real Obama please stand up! He has done so little in the past three years, having to missed many major voting issues, that it it should be unclear to everyone what this man stands for. We know whatever it is, it is far, far to the left. That is not the most frightening aspect of Obama vague personna. More frightening is his inability or purposeful intent to completely grasp the magnitude of the forces of evil aimed against the West and this point in history. So, I say to Americans everywhere. Grow up! You don't vote for someone to become President of this Country because he makes you "feel good." My young daughter makes choices i hr life based on whether something makes her "feels good." But she is only 13 years old. Those of you who say you want change. Don't you think it is advisable to first understand what that change may be or how it will affect you and your family?
