To date, Mitt Romney’s critique of the Obama foreign policy has been a case study of bluster over content, without specifics, although the presence of men such as John Bolton, the shoot-first former U.N. ambassador, as influential members of his foreign policy team ought to give Americans serious pause.
In fact, if we are to judge him from the tone of his rhetoric and by those whose counsel he seeks — and that’s about all he has given us to go on — Romney proposes to pick up where Dick Cheney left off in 2004, when a chastened President Bush belatedly took back control of foreign policy from his over-adventurous vice president.
I note that in his speech today at the Virginia Military Institute (text available here), Romney blamed the Obama administration for differences of opinion that have erupted between the United States and Israel.
“The world must never see any daylight between our two nations,” Romney said.
However, I do not believe it is our responsibility alone to ensure that such daylight never occurs. Israeli leaders bear at least equal responsibility for keeping that important relationship on an even keel. We are certainly under no obligation to outsource our foreign policy in that region to Benjamin Netanyahu, as Romney seems to advocate.
(In fact, if forced to synthesize the Romney Doctrine to one sentence, I might offer this: The rest of the world will be required to abide by our wishes; we will be required to abide by Israel’s).
Romney also spoke, as he has in the past, of a foreign policy based on confidence, clarity and resolve. These are good and necessary things. Unfortunately, the man’s credibility in preaching these virtues is more than a little suspect. You may recall that earlier this year, as an uprising in Libya gained strength, Romney first supported U.S. intervention and then opposed intervention and then embraced it again once it had succeeded. At one point, he even fled reporters in Las Vegas rather than be forced to take a position on the crisis.
Likewise, he harshly criticized the goal of removing Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddhafi from power, then turned around celebrated once that goal was achieved.
That is not a policy based on resolve. Likewise, Romney’s outrageous claim that President Obama sympathized with those who attacked and killed our ambassador to Libya and three others — a statement issued on the very night of their deaths — communicated not mature confidence but hasty, amateurish desperation and an eagerness to inject partisan politics in foreign-policy decisions.
I am most curious about his policy toward Afghanistan. Here’s what Romney had to say:
“… in Afghanistan, I will pursue a real and successful transition to Afghan security forces by the end of 2014. President Obama would have you believe that anyone who disagrees with his decisions in Afghanistan is arguing for endless war. But the route to more war — and to potential attacks here at home — is a politically timed retreat that abandons the Afghan people to the same extremists who ravaged their country and used it to launch the attacks of 9/11. I will evaluate conditions on the ground and weigh the best advice of our military commanders. And I will affirm that my duty is not to my political prospects, but to the security of the nation.”
Now, I would suggest that those are odd words from a man who just preached the necessity of clarity in foreign policy. Take a look again — do those words tell us anything about Romney’s approach to Afghanistan, or how it might differ in concrete terms from that undertaken by Obama?
Finally, Romney not only suggested that he would oppose any cuts in defense spending, he advocated what would appear to be a new military buildup. That is consistent with his pledge to commit a minimum of 4 percent of GDP to defense spending. By 2014, that would mean a $200-billion-a-year increase in spending over currently projected levels.
Given our financial situation, a 33 percent increase in projected defense spending at a time when we already spend more than the next 10 biggest military powers combined would not seem to be a wise investment. And again — although Romney continues to be painfully averse to specifics — in general the GOP candidate would seem pretty eager to put that larger military to regular use overseas.

I hope he also explains how we should aid Al Quaida operatives who are part of the opposition in Syria and that if they succeed they will have access to one of the world’s largest stores of chemical weapons. He may also want to explain how the new governments in Egypt and Libya are fighting extremist factions called Salafis who are allied with religious extremists in Saudi Arabia and other countries. I am sure Mitt and his eminent advisers like John Bolton are on top of all this and have more information than Obama, Hilary and Pannetta.

Pay no attention to obama “toughness” ..lol…..——–From a real thing,a real human rights prog, not rainy day ones——-Greenwald———
“In essence, the same mentality that drives Democratic support for drones sustains Democratic support for sanctions: they tacitly embrace the unexamined assumption that the US is inevitably going to engage in aggression and kill Muslims, and then pat themselves on the back for cheering for the way that kills the fewest (I support drones because they’re better than full-scale invasions; I support sanctions because they’re better than air strikes). They are seemingly incapable of conceiving of a third alternative: that the US could or should refrain from killing innocent people in predominantly Muslim countries.
Democratic support for sanctions on Iran shares another attribute with the pro-drone mentality. No matter how many times it is documented that drones do not decrease the threat of terrorism but rather increase that threat – by generating the anti-American hatred that drives terrorism – drone advocates insist: we must do this to stop the terrorists. ”

Romney would have a major problem: every foreign head of state knows he lies. The only ones who would really cooperate with him are (a) those who are even better at lying and (b) those who would join with Romney in propagating a self-serving lie.
Professional diplomats surely are aware that when a country bases its foreign policy on a stance of belligerence and acts of belligerence other countries will band together to oppose the belligerent country. Countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, France, Egypt. Nor will they always do it openly.
The right wing’s stance ultimately is based on US nuclear arms and US willingness to wage nuclear war. (Certainly not on ground troops, air power, naval power.) That is not in any way of benefit to anyone, certainly not the US and its people. The right wing would do it for the right wing, but it would turn out far worse than they are capable of discerning.

One of Romney’s foreign policy advisors is Dan Senor from the Council on Foreign Relations. As I recall Senor was one of the authors of Gen. McCrystals report and request for additional troops for the Afghanistan surge.
All I remember about John Bolton is that he speaks loudly and carries a small stick.
The US has still not accepted the idea that we should not the the world’s Nanny. Number one we cannot afford it monetarily. Number two we cannot afford it personnel wise. We had 3000 people killed on 9/11 and immediately went out and got an additional 6500 killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We cannot have Small Government and Big Defense at the same time.

Bibi was so preoccupied telling Obama when to pull the trigger on Iran that he disregarded Iranian and Hezbollah warnings of a preemptive attack. Over 50 rockets landed in Southern Israel today. I assume
that all this is in response to US and allies sanctions against Iran. With 40,000 missles in hands of Hezbollah, and access to chemical weapons in Syria do the neocons think pulling the trigger on Iran is still such a great idea? But if Obama met with Bibi all this would not have mattered. Just sent John Bolton over there and we will have a war to end all wars.

It is always is interesting when pundits focus on policy differences and flip flops when I think in general the electorate really doesn’t care. I am not saying they shouldn’t care but that is just the way it is. 92% of the electorate has already made up it’s mind before the election starts.
Instead, it gets down to the fact that the least informed voters hold the most political power–the independent, swing voters. Roughly 80 percent of the vote is locked in to one party or the other, which is where you will find most of the well-informed citizens who get the big picture and support a party for solid reasons. However, the 20 percent in the middle are not well informed, do not have strong opinions, and oftentimes hold contradictory views. They determine the winners, so campaigns are all about appealing to them. This means few specific proposals and lots of happy talk about our glorious past. Jay Cost, Weekly Standard
Even though Jay Cost is a partisan like Jay Bookman I believe he is correct. Jay Cost also points out most incumbents who win rarely gets specific.

Romney’s goal in his foreign policy statements is not to differentiated himself from Obama but to make himself look like he can competently handle foreign policy issues. Romney’s main goal is to make the election by economics and to make himself to be a viable alternative to Obama. Obama’s main goal is to make Romney to not appear to be a viable alternative which was working up until the debate. Even though the economy has not recovered Obama’s main strength is his likability. If he was unlikable he would be toast by now.

Here are a few specifics some of you were looking for:
I will put the leaders of Iran on notice that the United States and our friends and allies will prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. I will not hesitate to impose new sanctions on Iran, and will tighten the sanctions we currently have. I will restore the permanent presence of aircraft carrier task forces in both the Eastern Mediterranean and the Gulf region—and work with Israel to increase our military assistance and coordination. For the sake of peace, we must make clear to Iran through actions—not just words—that their nuclear pursuit will not be tolerated.
I will reaffirm our historic ties to Israel and our abiding commitment to its security—the world must never see any daylight between our two nations.
I will deepen our critical cooperation with our partners in the Gulf.
And I will roll back President Obama’s deep and arbitrary cuts to our national defense that would devastate our military. I will make the critical defense investments that we need to remain secure. The decisions we make today will determine our ability to protect America tomorrow. The first purpose of a strong military is to prevent war.
The size of our Navy is at levels not seen since 1916. I will restore our Navy to the size needed to fulfill our missions by building 15 ships per year, including three submarines. I will implement effective missile defenses to protect against threats. And on this, there will be no flexibility with Vladimir Putin. And I will call on our NATO allies to keep the greatest military alliance in history strong by honoring their commitment to each devote 2 percent of their GDP to security spending. Today, only 3 of the 28 NATO nations meet this benchmark.
I will make further reforms to our foreign assistance to create incentives for good governance, free enterprise, and greater trade, in the Middle East and beyond. I will organize all assistance efforts in the greater Middle East under one official with responsibility and accountability to prioritize efforts and produce results. I will rally our friends and allies to match our generosity with theirs. And I will make it clear to the recipients of our aid that, in return for our material support, they must meet the responsibilities of every decent modern government—to respect the rights of all of their citizens, including women and minorities… to ensure space for civil society, a free media, political parties, and an independent judiciary… and to abide by their international commitments to protect our diplomats and our property.
I will champion free trade and restore it as a critical element of our strategy, both in the Middle East and across the world. The President has not signed one new free trade agreement in the past four years. I will reverse that failure. I will work with nations around the world that are committed to the principles of free enterprise, expanding existing relationships and establishing new ones.

Finally, I will recommit America to the goal of a democratic, prosperous Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with the Jewish state of Israel. On this vital issue, the President has failed, and what should be a negotiation process has devolved into a series of heated disputes at the United Nations. In this old conflict, as in every challenge we face in the Middle East, only a new President will bring the chance to begin anew.
Private Fundraiser …
“I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say there’s just no way … the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish … [S]o what you do is, you say, you move things along the best way you can. You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem…and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it.”

The economic issues Romney has campaigned on are the failed policies of Obama, and if he didn’t have enough material he will lie a little more about O His whole answer to all this is he, Romney, can do better.
I saw the quarterback for the Falcons miss several passes yesterday, threw them to high, but knowing why he missed the passes doesn’t make me a quarterback, and sure enough giving four quarters the Falcons won. That would not have been the results if I had taken over, as quarterback.
Foreign policy unlike economic policy doesn’t have a lot of shared materials. When you step to the microphone on that subject you may be the mother in law interfering where your help is not needed. McCain had some license because he knew what he was talking about, chairing several committees in the Senate. Romney, like Perry, amazes me he is trying to court Israel. He is scoring so easy with the red states he has lost his senses.

“They don’t dictate our foreign policy and we don’t dictate theirs. We just happen to be on the same page.”
True, and we’ve pretty much always been that way to some extent. I guess I’m wondering if that’s the best policy of late. Me thinks Israel wants a war with Iran, partly because they know they have the US military support pretty much guaranteed. That doesn’t put us in a good situation either way. If we support them, we get into another long, drawn out war. If we don’t, we lose our best ally in the region, and that’s important to keep. Based on our sync with them right now, do you think we’d fully support them attacking Iran if they decided they needed to do that?

And there is the major difference between Conservatives and Libs. Conservatives know that all Arabs have said since the 1946 that there main goal is to drive Israel back into the sea. This has not changed and it is still their number 1 goal. Libs think with an evenhanded approach that their minds can be changed and that Israel will have to be willing to give and give.

The Romney plan for world domination is the same madness we witnessed under the Bush Administration. Do you really think the “Shock and Awe” campaign of Cheney and Rumsfeld against the Iraqi people hasn’t killed more than the Syrian regime?
Many in America seem to have the same attitude towards human death and suffering as those they claim to oppose. It’s fine to eat the steak as long as you don’t have to butcher the cow. So it’s easy to call for war and destruction as long as I don’t have to do the killing…or dying.

After the comments were published by Philip Klein at the Examiner, Rep. Wasserman-Schultz claimed she had never made them. At this point, Klein published his audio recording of the statement, which clearly proved she had said exactly what he claimed.

Has risen in each of the years that Obama has been in office
Projected to be about the same next year as this
Declines in 2014 – presumably because the plan is to no longer be on an active war footing and yet still double what it was before the wars and Iraq and Afghanistan began.

Romney couldn’t have said it any better and I think that the American people agree. The only people who will disagree with the content of Mitt’s speech are the left wing elitists, the liberal arts graduates, the brain-dead Obama sheep, and the collective Bookman myrmidons who voted for Obama. With that said, let’s look at what your elected president and his administration has done for foreign policy in just a short 4 years.
The 2009 Middle East tour had Obama bowing before Muslim kings, apologizing for America’s past, minimizing our Chritian heritage, and downplaying America’s exceptionalism. It did nothing for us but demonstrate that a Democrat president with a Muslim background would make America weaker. Where do we stand now in the eyes of theocrats running the Middle East? We are now viewed less favorably than when President Bush ran things.
Iran has remained defiant and unchecked because of incompetence and weakness demonstrated by the Obama regime. China’s military is on a fast track build-up because of incompetence and weakness demonstrated by the Obama regime. Embassies all over the world are now being overrun by emboldened Muslims because of incompetence and weakness demonstrated by the Obama regime. Hugo Chevez recently said that he would vote for Obama in the next election. Isreal, who is our only ally in the Middle East amongst the uncivilized world of Islam, has been snubbed by Obama and his goose-stepping followers.
Afghanistan is totally mismanaged by the incompetent Obama administration that first puts in a surge of troops to put out the fires, but in the same initiative, calls for an exit date. The Taliban and Haqqani networks are only laughing at such stupidity. The Kabul embassy is overly staffed with State Department clowns who dictate protocol for its protection. They dictate outer perimeter defense of the embassy grounds to be staffed with local force protection so as to not humiliate or offend the Afghan local authorities. Smart. Real smart. It is the State Dept. that mandated that American soldiers could not carry loaded weapons within their own bases. This now has been changed due to American soldiers being murdered by the local force personnel.
When the Obama regime puts in place the likes of Samantha Power, Susan Rice, and Hillary Clinton to help carry out foreign policy decisions, the results are predictable. Samantha Power, who comes from the professorial ranks of Harvard and is one of Obama’s closest foreign policy advisors, was instrumental in teaching Obama to bow before Muslim kings and is the mentor for the Obama Doctrine. Susan Rice, who is our ambassador to the UN, is another left wing bookworm who is responsible for lying to the world about the Benghazi cover-up and is a water carrier for the regime hoping to become Sec. of State should Obama be elected again. Hillary Clinton is in her own world of globe trotting, schmoozing with world leaders, and never washing her hair. Her lack of credentials in world wide force protection for her embassies is criminal.
Intelligence records indicate that requests for added security for the Benghazi outpost were denied 3 times prior to the attack. Intelligence indicated al Qaeda was a threat within Libya and the anniversary of 9/11 was reason enough to be vigilant against an attack. Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. sat on their hands and did not respond to the threat or the requests for more security. The Cairo embassy Marines were told by State to have unloaded weapons. Obama was more concerned with fund raising than attending security briefings each morning in the Oval Office.
Foreign policy is an absolute joke with this administration and has been with any Democrat administration. Say what you will about Romney’s intentions, but we have seen that the Obama Doctrine of “leading from behind” just doesn’t cut it in foreign policy initiatives.
You people just don’t get it and never will. You can’t substitute college ideas of multiculturism, appeasement, and leading from behind for strength and resolve.
By the way, Jay…three postings in one day? It sure smells like fear again. Do you really need the support of your myrmidons to make you feel more secure. Ask the real people of America what they think of Mr. Romney. I think that the next debate on foreign policy will give you the answer.

Military Spending Waste: Up To $60 Billion In Iraq, Afghanistan War Funds Lost To Poor Planning, Oversight, Fraud
WASHINGTON — As much as $60 billion in U.S. funds has been lost to waste and fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade through lax oversight of contractors, poor planning and payoffs to warlords and insurgents, an independent panel investigating U.S. wartime spending estimates.
In its final report to Congress, the Commission on Wartime Contracting said the figure could grow as U.S. support for reconstruction projects and programs wanes, leaving both countries to bear the long-term costs of sustaining the schools, medical clinics, barracks, roads and power plants already built with American tax dollars.

M. Huggins — “Why are Bush and Romney chickenhawks but Obama is not?”
FWIW, I don’t believe Mr. Bush was a chickenhawk, but had a lot of staffers and advisors who were.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickenhawk_(politics)
Chickenhawk (also chicken hawk and chicken-hawk) is a political term used in the United States to describe a person who strongly supports war or other military action (i.e., a War Hawk), yet who actively avoided military service when of age.
The term indicates that the person in question is hypocritical for personally dodging a draft or otherwise shirking their duty to their country during a time of armed conflict while advocating that others do so. Generally, the implication is that chickenhawks lack the moral character to ask others to support, fight and perhaps die in an armed conflict. Those who avoid military service and continue to oppose armed aggression are not chickenhawks.

There is a possibility that Romney will get us in another war for two reasons:

2. Another war might give Romney a chance to carry out some strange Mormon prophicies. After all, it’s been strongly rumored that G.W. Bush was carrying out Bible prophicies when he started the Iraq war.

My son a US Marine first landed by helicopter on Afghanistan soil on September 11, 2010. When 9-11 happened he was eleven years old and his big interest was playing paintball with his friends. His best friend and roommate Gino was shot in the throat this past June and killed by a sniper. Gino was buried at Arlington cemetery and my son went to the funeral. Gino, my son and many of their fellow Marines joined almost 100% because of what happened on 911. In two weeks time my son returns to Afghanistan this time as a “grizzled” 22 year old Sargent. He leads a squad of Marines he himself trained. He tells me they are “ready” to fight. All I ask is before troops are committed to combat that it be absolutely necessary. Republican presidents always seem to want to rattle the “sabers”. I don’t trust Romney and my son and I support Obama.

M. Huggins — “Right so is Obama not a chickenhawk because the draft was no longer in place when he was 18? Seems he still could have volunteered.”
Are you asking me my opinion? If so, then yes, he certainly could have volunteered. Yet it seems to me that service alone isn’t the sole deciding factor in chickenhawkism — there also is an apparent desire or intention on chickenhawks’ part to start wars and conflicts. I’m not seeing that with President Obama.
“Especially since much of the criticism I have seen here today is about Romney’s sons. There is not a draft now.”
You must have missed the link I put up earlier. Here:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/08/questions-about-romneys-sons-and-military-service/
Romney seemed to be equating military service with a working on a political campaign. As a disabled veteran, I find that abosolutely inexcusable and reprehensible on Mr. Romney’s part.
“Do you think Malia Obama will be joining the service in July of ‘16?”
Don’t know. Then again, her dad isn’t pressing to start any wars AFAIK.

Romney Narrows Vote Gap After Historic Debate Win
By record-high margin, debate watchers say Romney did better
by Jeffrey M. Jones
PRINCETON, NJ — Registered voters’ preferences for president are evenly split in the first three days of Gallup tracking since last Wednesday’s presidential debate. In the three days prior to the debate, Barack Obama had a five-percentage-point edge among registered voters.

Since naive secular progressives and Librul Jay do not support the common sense Romney Doctrine, then they are all anti-Semites, pure and simple. “What? You’re crazy, Bill!” you fools are thinking. I say, yes, I am crazy. I’m crazy for the United States’ support of the Jewish state, the only democracy in the region. When anyone speaks out against the good policies that strengthen and protect Israel, then “he” is an anti-Semite, pure and simple. There is no room for argument here. You are either with Israel’s policies of staring down jihadists or you are not. No argument.
The United States NEEDS TO recapture its firm standing int he region that was well-known through the rightful Bush Doctrine. Since January 2009, King Hussein Obama has purposely soiled the sacred documents that comprises the rightful Bush Doctrine. It is well-known that this once-free nation is a joke in the Middle East. We need to get back to the strong policies contained in the Bush Doctrine which is now properly titled, The Romney Doctrine–which adheres to the strict constructs of The Constitution which clearly states that we have the right to protect our interests throughout the world. It is well known that the Hebrews are surrounded by jihadists who wish to push the only democracy into the sea. We need to stand with P.M. Binyomin Netanhayu to train American and Israeli Hebrews to fight the jihadism wherever it may exist.
Amen,

Ooops it looks like Obama is lying now:
“Last night, the Obama campaign blasted out another email claiming that Mitt Romney’s tax plan would either require raising taxes on the middle class or blowing a hole in the deficit. “Even the studies that Romney has cited to claim his plan adds up still show he would need to raise middle-class taxes,” said the Obama campaign press release. “In fact, Harvard economist Martin Feldstein and Princeton economist Harvey Rosen both concede that paying for Romney’s tax cuts would require large tax increases on families making between $100,000 and $200,000.”
But that’s not true. Princeton professor Harvey Rosen tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD in an email that the Obama campaign is misrepresenting his paper on Romney’s tax plan:
I can’t tell exactly how the Obama campaign reached that characterization of my work. It might be that they assume that Governor Romney wants to keep the taxes from the Affordable Care Act in place, despite the fact that the Governor has called for its complete repeal. The main conclusion of my study is that under plausible assumptions, a proposal along the lines suggested by Governor Romney can both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 about the same. That is, an increase in the tax burden on lower and middle income individuals is not required in order to make the overall plan revenue neutral.
You can check the math that shows Romney’s plan is mathematically possible here.”

IMO, it’s not just stupid. I think that it trivializes military service by equating it with political volunteerism and personal self-aggrandizement. I think it further highlights and underlines the disconnect between Romney and average Americans.
Frankly, I’m glad he said it. It just foreshadowed the sorts of things that would eventually come out about him in the current election cycle.
“Obama has not vocally championed war. But his actions have.”
How so? What makes you think that?
“How many sons and daughters have died in Afghanistan under his watch?”
I’m sure you’re aware that he didn’t *start* the conflict in Afghanistan, and that he’s wound down our involvement in Iraq, as well as tried to disengage in Afghanistan — for which he’s been roundly criticized by Republicans.

That’s the latest number: Obama 50, Romney 45.
The numbers that you reference — which I too referenced this morning — did not include the latest numbers.
Gallup uses a seven-day rolling average, so the numbers cited this morning compared the three days before the debate to the three days after the debate. In the three days after the debate, the polling was tied.
The new, latest numbers suggest that the race is reverting back to its previous state, but they are based only on a day or two’s worth of data, so we’ll have to see if that trend holds.

Jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air and are most pronounced in winter, but do show up in early Oct, Nov. In its report it also mentions that republican hopeful Mitt Romney’s campaign is aware of the jet stream and the hot air that occurs with it throughout the U.S. and it’s shifting its thinking from last weeks conservative pattern to this weeks new fall, moderate patttern, depending of course on how the wind blows.

So the military situation changed and he adjusted his plans. What was the military force on Hawaii on Dec.5th 1940? What was it om June 5 1943?

M. Huggins — “I don’t think I have misinterpreted by much if you include because of his stance on foreign policy.”
Well, you said this: “Many here have criticized Romney and his sons because they didn’t join.”
And I don’t think that’s the source for the criticism at all. Romney’s being criticized for *saying* some stoopid things, not for not serving. The lack of service *aggravates* the matter, to be sure, but he and he sons lacked service before Romney said the stoopid stuff and we weren’t criticizing them then.
IMO, people who didn’t serve yet who try to talk tough are not good bets to be CINC. I think that people like that are more likely to make an unnecessary show of force and get us into military situations that were otherwise avoidable.
And IMO people who trivialize military service by equating it to political volunteerism are people who don’t have a proper appreciation of our military and the people who serve in it.
If someone doesn’t want to serve, fine. But I’m troubled by people who didn’t serve, yet who are in (or potentially in) leadership positions in our country and who could make life-or-death decisions for our troops AND who shoot their mouths off. That’s not ’speaking softly and carrying a big stick.’
“Guilty as charged of knowing what I am thinking and forgetting to include everyone else in all the details. I mean I understand it in my head why can’t everyone else.”

But Obama wasn’t under that pressure. He had the entire history of the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions to use for his decision. And he made a horrendous choice, sending even more troops in.
In hindsight I think we would have been best served to put a carrier group in the gulf and use intelligence, bombers, and drones to kill as many of the terrorists as possible.

You see pal, face to face I would be just as quick to call you on picking on a little girl. Maybe it’s just a Southern thing and you wouldn’t understand. I despise those who feel that their hatred of the President requires they bad mouth his wife as well.
I didn’t stand silent when folks did it to the Bush twins either before you try THAT tired old attack. At least during Clinton’s administration your talk show gods hadn’t dialed up the hate to the level it is now so that his daughter got a pass for folks like you.

Since Obozo has been bungling foreign matters since day 1, with the exception of killing Bin Laden, Mitt needs to address this fact. The rest of the world no longer fears America and that needs to change. We need to play up the strength of our military to keep rogue nations like Iran in check. Having Iran and others think we can “wipe them off the map” as they like to say about Israel is vital to keeping the peace, or at least what there is of it. Obama actually wants to rid the US of our nuclear weapons…which is asinine. Nov 6 can’t get here fast enough.
On a side note, any of you libs think Biden is going to help close the gap when he takes the stage later this week? he’ll be worse than Stockstill or whatever his name was who ran with Perot.

How many military golf courses are there? I bet the cost for them alone exceeds the NPR budget. And Romney wants to get us back to that 600 ship Navy of Reagan? How many of those ships were mothballed and scrapped? Any half brain knows future combat is going to be based more on cyberwarfare and technology than a bunch of ships and airplanes. Neocon madness!

It goes all the way back to the Byzantine and Ottoman…the Turks are Turks and the Syrians are Arabs. There are some irredentist issues surrounding Hatay. Then there’s that Armenian thingie and the Kurdish problem. Mainly, though, I think there’s the military pressures on the Ankara regime. They’re VERY secular, the current government is Islamacist and the last thing the military wants in Syria is an Islamacist regime in the Arab-Sunni districts and an autonomous Kurdish entity, not to mention the refugee problem. The internal discombobulation in Turkey could provoke the military to stage (yet another) coup…

“In hindsight I think we would have been best served to put a carrier group in the gulf and use intelligence, bombers, and drones to kill as many of the terrorists as possible.”
I’m with Brosephus on that one. That was a screw-up from the very beginning under Georgie-porgie. Hopefully we’ve learned that lesson, but I doubt it. Big troop numbers are a throwback to WWII mentality and capability. Technology doesn’t get people as emotionally riled up, but is a lot more effective in the fight against terrorists. We’ve accomplished more with drones and special forces in the long run, but that doesn’t line the pockets of contractors who greedily await the next paycheck when we start another war.

Fine Fred you are a true southerner.

Still didn’t attack the president or his daughter certainly not out of any hatred towards him. Voted for the guy and don’t think romney is any different than Obama.
Romneys sons were brought up on more than one occasion here today.
Obama has a daughter and I don’t think gender should be a basis for different treatment.
I don’t consider an age range of which we have discussions of ways to prevent that same age from having babies are little girls.
Those would be young women, just as the same age would be young men.
I was asked from the time I was 8 about my plans to serve, but guess I’m different cause I’m a boy!
Lots of us quit saying what boys can do and what girls can do when we were like 8 or 9.

In other words, Jay, it’s more Mitt-business as usual, more style over substance, but let’s please hope it won’t work this time!

When someone wants to kill MY children I think it’s a valid question to ask why the hell neither he NOR one of his FIVE boys ever served.

What does that have to do with Iran developing a nuclear weapon? You said Iran HAS WMDs pointed at Israel….and then you bring up nuclear weapons they haven’t even been able to develop yet. So are you saying they actually have the WMDs you speak of?
Of course I don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Or North Korea or any of the unstable idiot countries over there, but many have them. They also know how suicidal it is to use them, so they just end up becoming a bluff in a very scary poker game. I don’t see Iran gaining that capability in the short term, and I think there are better ways to deal with them than to attack because they have something pointed at Israel.

Great stuff on the “Obama phone”, not that Democrats really care what he does…
“One of the major providers of the free cell phones—3.8 million subscribers as of late 2011—is Miami-based TracFone Wireless, a company whose president and CEO, Frederick “F.J.” Pollak, has donated at least $156,500 to Democratic candidates and committees this cycle, including at least $50,000 to the Obama campaign.
Pollak’s wife, Abigail, is a campaign bundler for Obama who has raised more than $632,000 for the president this cycle, and more than $1.5 million since 2007. She has personally contributed more than $200,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2008.
The Pollaks hosted Obama at their Miami Beach home in June for a $40,000-per-plate fundraising dinner, and hosted a similar event with Michelle Obama in July 2008. The couple personally donated a combined $66,200 to Obama’s reelection effort that year.”

“and Obama didn’t win election until 2004″
So far it appears that Obama should have volunteered to serve in a war when he was only 14, and should have voted for a bill in Congress before he was even elected to serve there. No WONDER the conned call him their “Messiah” – that’s some POWER!

That’s why I called you a dumbass, and will continue to do so to anybody that talks about an “Obama Phone”.

And like we don’t do that in troop wars? You know as well as I do that the civilian casualties are there, no matter the “weapon” used. That’s the reason we need to change our war strategy and reserve it for real, substantiated situations. Iraq wasn’t one, and our leaders had to lie and make up intelligence to get approval for it. Afghanistan isn’t one, and Iran won’t be either. Yet, under Republican administrations, we always end up committing troops and firepower to situations that could be handled much more simply. If we need actual troops, send what we need and get out quickly. Are you proposing that we continue the current trend of sacrificing thousands of our young men and women fighting wars that have no purpose to satisfy one party’s bloodlust?

They’re all part of Japan, both before and after the war.
Since Japan’s an island nation, there’s not really a ‘mainland’ as we think of it. All of Japan’s territory is on islands. When I was over there, I heard Honshu (the island on which Tokyo is located) referred to in jest as the “Japanese mainland,” but there are three other ‘main’ islands and dozens — maybe hundreds — of lesser ones.
We never invaded the four *main* Japanese islands, but we had some horrendous battles with the Japanese on little islands that were and are Japanese territory. I guess the ones best known to Americans would be Iwo Jima (site of the famed flag-raising) and Okinawa (where we have a military presence even today). Ie Shima sticks with me because noted war correspondent Ernie Pyle was killed there, shortly before the war ended.

To quote someone that’s hated here in Georgia… War is hell. When you try to make war all nice and pretty, you don’t get the same message across if you decide to level everything within sight. I don’t necessarily condone killing in that mindset, but do you think the guys that flew planes into the World Trade Center thought about that? Do you think that the people who plotted the original version of that plan, the Bojinka Plot, cared that women and children might be on the planes they wanted to blow up?
That’s why I think any action of war should be the ultimate last choice for anything. Strategic strikes only work to a point. When you really want to deliver a message, you have to destroy things to get attention.

Well, if you’d just said that to start with…
So, short of the big bomb, what do you see as a successful military strategy going forward? Do we keep up the current round of ground troop wars in all the ME hotspots, or do we find a more focused, strategic response using the technology and precision we have available? Seems to me we accomplish a lot more and look more like a strong military power when we use that versus the embarrassment too often caused of late by large scale ground wars.

The fact that Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druids, Buddhists, Aztecs, and even atheists are working together to make a better world is more than enough reason to give this remarkable leader another 4 years as our god on earth.

My dad was on an Infantry Landing Shop in the South Pacific in WWII. Can see his ship in the background in MacArthur’s coming ashore in the Philippines.
It’s been only the past few years he’s opened up about those times – not just events on his ship and others in the midst of kamikaze attacks, but also picking up the troops on some of those islands when they’d been fighting for a week or a month.
I can really see why he didn’t talk about it for years.
BTW – he was the acting chief of the ship – was in charge of the engine room – at 19 years old. The captain they called ‘the old man.’ He was mid-twenties.

Seems the old saying “righty tighty, lefty loosey” no longer hold true (at least in politics). The left with its incompetent and lazy candidate Obama have gotten so tight you couldn’t drive a straight pin up their butts with a sledgehammer. As is proven here (and every where else in the leftist media) on a daily basis, the more vitriolic and hostile the hosts such as Jay and Luckovich and their dens of suckling liberal puppies become, the more it becomes evident that the democrats are sweating bigtime. They should be. At this point is going to change their level of enthusiasm about this campaign and they are not going to change their minds on who to vote for. And that should be keeping you Dims up at night. What is really funny is that you Dims have “out liberaled” yourselves. You have made your entitlement base so lazy by giving them everything they need (courtesy of the working taxpayers) without having to do anything they aren’t even going to bother to vote this time. Watch and see what the numbers look like next month.

It varies state by state. There are only 3 states that automatically reinstitutes voting rights upon completion of the sentence, if I remember correctly. Most of the states require some legal hoops to jump through upon completion of the sentence and probation before rights can be restored.
I can’t understand why it isn’t automatic across the board. Regardless to whether you view prison as a punishment or rehab stint, once the sentence is done, that debt has been paid to society. You can’t expect someone to become a productive member of society when you purposefully limit their rights to becoming productive.

“So we no longer question if we should go to war, just how we go. What the h have we become.”
Skipper, I’ve been a leftie for a long time, and even I know that military action of some type happens often. One could argue that since 1950 or so we’ve been involved in too many conflicts not directly related to us, but one could also argue that we became the guardian of democracy in much of the world for a long time post-WWII. Considering the volatile state of the Middle East, especially since the Arab Spring, I think it’s a fair assumption we’ll see a good number of situations that could need a military response from the USA. Iraq and Afghanistan aside, we have reasons to be ready to respond to a threat. How we do that is the question for me, and I think the massive ground forces ideology hasn’t worked well since WWII. We can, and we’ve proved it, go after specific individuals successfully on a very small scale. But, we have to accept that those situations will exist, regardless of political affiliation. I’m all against the gluttony of the defense contractors who make way too much profit off of the ground force wars and I believe we can reign in defense spending and remain just as strong, if not stronger in the eyes of the world. But that will take a strategic shift in the military mindset in the Pentagon and WH. What we’ve become is a world leader, and that comes with some responsibility to respond…tactfully and only forcefully when absolutely no other option exists.

Hey, I have a quick test for y’all. I was looking at the AJC ballot thingie to see the candidate’s stances in all my choices. Can you correctly pair the statement with the party based on this:
Q: If elected, what would be your three (3) top policy priorities and how would you work to achieve results?
#1: 1.**************.
2.With the help of the Board, find a way to give the County employees some type of increase in their pay, raise and/or COLA.
3.Explore all options to provide the employees with a better health care plan.
#2: 1.Economic Development with Job Creation including small business growth, opportunities and resources.
2. Public Safety.
3. ***************.
I would achieve these priorities through Public Private Partnerships to increase Henry County’s Commercial Tax Digest being inclusive of various industries both domestic and international along with small business growth and expansion. Effective communications, leadership skills and government transparency pertaining to all aspects of how Henry County does business will be open to every citizen.
I purposefully left off one answer in each that would probably make it easy to determine which is which.

The Republican party is the party of the religious zealots in this nation. In the name of “religious freedom” the zealots of the majority Christian religion have been seeking to have its dogma enacted into law, even though doing so is seriously detrimental to our freedom and, therefore, determental to nothing less than the very founding purpose of our nation.
The moneyed investor employer class, which is the actual ownership of the GOP brand, have made the proverbial “deal with the devil” in pursuit of votes: Betting their future power that religious zealotry is within all other demographics, they have abandoned any pretense of libertarian social policy in favor of a policy of pseudo-theocracy to curry favor and gain votes — to get the one-issue “values voters” to go to the polls in a religious stupor and vote Republican, usually contrary to their own economic best interest.
Republicans aggressively seek to deny women individual liberty with regard to their personal medical and reproductive choices.
Republicans aggressively seek to deny equal right under law to any person that chooses a lifestyle of which they disapprove.
Republicans aggressively seek to divert funds from public schools into private religious schools via voucher programs, seek to teach children religion at taxpayer expense to reinforce the brainwashing of children with religion and to indoctrinate future generations of the “follower class” to be “meek” and passive as the wealthy thrive under Republican* rule, while the employee class live lives of sharecroppers and indentured servants — awaiting their reward in some hereafter. (* “How the GOP Became the Party of the Rich”, Rolling Stone, NOV 2011)
Putting religion back in schools will result in teaching children, as Georgia’s member of the US Congress Paul Brown has “learned” and recently public announced, that the earth is, supposedly, only thousands of years old rather than millions of years old along with other myths.
With religion in our schools, there is the risk that our children will taught that women are somehow less equal to men and less able to make their own decisions — that they should be subserviant helpmates to men, as most religions teach.
Religion will also be a disaster for science and, therefore, our nation’s ability to compete in the global marketplace in the future, a serious threat to our future economic well being.
Republican religious zealots in control of the Administrative branch of our government also puts them in control of our military. This is also, potentially, a disaster for foreign policy as it will polarize powerful Islamic extremists against powerful Christian extremists (and vice versa) at a time when mid-east tension has already given rise to speculation among the zealots that we are at the beginning of their anticipated “end times” — when the zealots of each flavor actually believe all others not sharing their beliefs will be vanquished.
The right-wing religious zealots of every flavor, whether consciously / deliberately or not, seem to be pursuing their self-fulfilling prophecy of Armageddon with the expectation that their “god” will arrive to destroy all the “nonbelievers” — all people that do not believe as they believe.
We do NOT need more neo-con wars in the mideast to win “hearts and minds” of zealots. Zealots cannot, by force, alter the beliefs of other zealots. Afganistan and Iraq are proof it is costly folly to try. “Just” wars are to defend the nation by killing the enemy or enough of them to prompt surrender and/or end of hostility. Wars based on lies and/or fearmongering and wars of the Republican neo-con self-rightous “Bush” ilk — wars attempting to “liberate” others from their own chosen primitive mindset and “nationbuilding” — have proven to be and would again be costly failures. (The current Republican candidate for president has those same neocon advisors.)
Religion “informing” — guiding — foreign policy is costly and dangerous.
As domestic policy, Religion is the current Republican flavor for social, medical, science and domestic social policy and it represents nothing less than tyranny for those of the female half of the population who believe in individual liberty and equal right under law.
If the Republican party will not accept science but insists children should be taught the ancient myths of religion in education, if they will not accept that women have the right of individual liberty — will not yield to women the right to exercise their own “free will” HERE, in our own homeland — because of religious zealotry; and if Republicans will not accept that then in a nation where freedom actually exists each person must be able to make their own most personal decisions about their own lifestyles without being penalized by denying them equal right under law, then how can we NOT expect them to guide foreign policy in accord with their religious zealotry and, therefore, in active pursuit of that “self-fulfilling prophecy of Armageddon” — in pursuit of the “second coming” in which they so wholeheartedly believe?

And the Obama Whitehouse congratulates Chavez on his victory. Why shouldn’t they? Obama would like America to be just like Venezuela and Cuba as long as he and Michelle can live in their mansions and live like kings. Obama would never be able live under the socialist policies he is so enamoured of and he won’t have to because he is rich. What he loves about socialism is the power that is to gained by his and the government’s ability to mandate how the the poor and the middle class are going to live. He loves the power. He and Michelle can eat filet mignon with truffles as often as they want while telling the rest of us we should be willing to “cut down”.

The nice thing about the first debate was that for the first time in his presidency, Obama couldn’t run nor hide from an appraisal of his first term, from Romney.
And Romney treated him like an employee who had failed, and failed dramatically.
Obama knew that all could see him, in his moment of shame.
No matter how he tries to spin it, we all saw what happened when he had to stand alone and account for his time as manager of the executive branch.
He was publicly shamed, and there was nothing he could do but stand there, eyes down, and take it.

From what I’m reading there’s not a whole lot of daylight between Romney’s approach to Afghanistan and Obama’s.
‘We’re Not Going Anyplace’
Obama says that while the U.S. combat mission will end in December 2014, not all American troops will be coming home. The president signed a 10-year strategic partnership agreement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in May, which says the U.S. will help target al-Qaida and train Afghan troops.
In his speech in Afghanistan in May, Obama described that agreement.
“We’ll work with the Afghans to determine what support they need to accomplish two narrow security missions beyond 2014: counterterrorism and continued training,” he said.
Right after the agreement was signed, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, “The most important point is that we’re not going anyplace.”
“We have an enduring presence that will be in Afghanistan. We’ll continue to work with them on counterterrorism,” Panetta said. “We’ll continue to provide training assistance and guidance, we’ll continue to provide support.”
Romney advisers say the governor also wants an “enduring presence” in Afghanistan, but he hasn’t been as specific about what that presence will look like. Military commanders, for their part, are considering 10,000 or more troops.

Look — “Not a good weapon to have jam on you (and your platoon) either.”
During one field exercise I was on in the Army, my team was attached to a mortar platoon that was conducting a live-fire. The mortarmen didn’t want the stoopid signal guys (us) handling their weapons or ammo, so we just crouched or knelt down in the tall grass and watched them hang round after round onto their target. Most of us signalmen had never seen a mortar fired up close before, so we just kept quiet and watched.
We didn’t know it, but apparently if a mortar round doesn’t fire when dropped, there’s a trigger mechanism or something on the weapon that can be employed to kick the round out and downrange. So the mortarmen decided to pull a fast one on us Signal guys. They dropped one round in the tube and instead of the hollow THOOP noise of the round being fired, there was a loud, metallic CLANK, immediately followed by about three or four mortarmen saying OHS**T.
You never saw three signalmen run faster or heard a mortar team laugh more loudly. Then they pulled the trigger mechanism and fired the round downrange.

For all you right wing FOX News watchers out there, how do you explain THIS:
This was the New York Times — the New York Times! – reacting with glee at the coup that temporarily removed Chavez from power in 2002 (it turned out).
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/13/opinion/hugo-chavez-departs.html
–
With yesterday’s resignation of President Hugo Chávez, Venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by a would-be dictator. Mr. Chávez, a ruinous demagogue, stepped down after the military intervened and handed power to a respected business leader, Pedro Carmona. But democracy has not yet been restored, and won’t be until a new president is elected. That vote has been scheduled for next spring, with new Congressional elections to be held by this December. The prompt announcement of a timetable is welcome, but a year seems rather long to wait for a legitimately elected president
—
There is NOTHING in the FOX News view of the world to explain to its viewers how it is that publications like the New York Times are in perfect LOCKSTEP with FOX and other conservative outlets on a great many issues that, if they were only looked at as such, would cause great discomfort among the FOX and Limbaugh faithful who are just so convinced that pubs like NYT are “liberal” or “Socialist” outlets.

Californians are now sufferring because of runaway environmental policies by the EPA. Their refineries are shutting down rather than comply with that agencies “Clean Air” dictates. A single refinery fire has placed them in a critical situation. The Californian liberals asked for it and they are getting what they deserve ( of course it won’t bother them because they are rich). If Obama and his activist EPA get what they want, the rest of us will be paying the same for a gallon of gasoline as Californians are now. No new refineries have been built in this nation for many, many years because of EPA mandates and that agency has become more and more powerful under Obama. What happens when more and more refineries in this country simply choose to shut down because of a politically driven EPA? Prices on food and everything else we use will skyrocket. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, literally. A price has to be paid for everything and that is a concept the liberals in this country have forgotten.

Pretty funny stuff.
Reminds me when I was an AFROTC cadet and we got to play a bit in an F15 simulator at Langley AFB. A very intimidating piece of machinery I might add. I was sitting in the cockpit with a pilot standing on the scaffolding explaining the instrumentation and he pointed to the control stick and was telling me about the pitch compensation module and told me to ease the stick back. Suddenly the pilot let out a loud yelp, a klaxon sounded, waggles lights started spinning and the damn thing tilted back about 5 degrees (felt like 30). It was only after the pilot started laughing his ass off did I realize it was a planned stunt. All I can say is glad I skipped coffee and breakfast that morning.

For in the states we have the perfect laboratory for testing what works and what doesn’t work in government. In engineering, that is called prototyping.

Details of the Military Times poll (66% R — 26% O):
The professional core of the U.S. military overwhelmingly favors Mitt Romney over President Obama in the upcoming election — but not because of any particular military issues, according to a new poll of more than 3,100 active and reserve troops.
Respondents rated the economy and the candidates’ character as their most important considerations and all but ignored the war in Afghanistan as an issue of concern.
…Almost 80 percent of respondents have a college degree — including 27 percent with a graduate degree and more than 11 percent with a post-graduate degree — while an additional 18.5 percent have some college under their belts.
And they are battle-hardened; almost 29 percent have spent more than two cumulative years deployed since 9/11, while a similar percentage has spent one to two cumulative years deployed.
…Poll results indicate that about 66 percent of those surveyed support Romney, compared with about 26 percent who say they will vote to re-elect President Obama.
When asked about the most important issue guiding their vote this year, about 66 percent of respondents cited either “the economy” or “the character of the candidate.” Less than 16 percent of troops surveyed cited “national security.”
And the war in Afghanistan is barely a blip on the radar: Just more than 1 percent put that conflict at the top of their list of concerns. That’s in stark contrast to troops’ feelings about the war in Iraq in the Military Times 2008 election poll, when 16 percent cited that conflict as their top concern.
Pocketbook issues
“When I talk to my soldiers, it’s not social issues. It’s almost not even military issues. What it comes down to is pocketbook issues,” said one 28-year-old Army captain who took the survey in late September. “They currently see Mitt Romney as being stronger for their pocketbook.
Looks like those that matter most trust Romney on foreign policy, not to mention the economy.

The unfortunate Repercussions of an UNQUALIFIED President Obama…
The Shrinking Black Middle Class…
The unfortunate reprecussions of not reading the link before trying to blame someone for something…
From your own link:
Historically, many blacks have made it into the middle class via public-sector and union jobs. But since 2008, the public sector has shed about 600,000 positions.
The 2009 recovery is the first in nearly 40 years that has not been accompanied by an expansion in the public sector. “In every recovery since the 1970s—in 1975, 1982, 1991 and 2001—we’ve seen the government sector grow,” said Adriana Kugler, chief economist for the U.S. Labor Department.
So, you’re basically claiming that Obama represents the party that is intent on shrinking government down until it can be drowned in a bathtub, and intent on getting rid of unions in order to expand the free market. I’ll go easy on you with this one, but simply reading the story before trying to play the blame game would have saved you a bit of embarassment, that is, if you even get embarassed about posting completely unfactual stuff.

That’s not racist. That’s the truth. This sudden “concern” is nothing but bullsh*t.
Historically, Black America’s unemployment has been twice the national average, what has the GOP or Democrats done to alleviate that discrepancy? Not a damn thing. Should they have to do anything? As a party, no, but at the same time, they control most every business that does the hiring in this country either directly or through their financiers.
Public, state funded colleges that are historically Black institutions have been severely underfunded when compared to their majority White peers. Has the Democratic Party or GOP done anything about that? Hell no.
So, you may think it’s racist, but it’s the truth. I can’t understand why Blacks would support either party given how both parties treat Blacks. Then again, that’s just my opinion.

Your last post underscores the point that people expect Black people to be stupid. We have always recognized our unemployment has been TWICE the level of Whites regardless of WHO the president was or what party is in power. It is a famous saying in our community that “when White America catches the cold, Black America get pnuemonia”. TRUTH just as you stated. People don’t like to deal with it though, because it must be place in historical context…and that is one thing that the U.S. will NEVER deal with honestly. Anything is a non-starter. More truth. Also, can you imagine Black employment even being EQUAL to that of White unemployment? The haters would be trying to spin it into Barack trying to be the “Black” president or something? We (and they) know they would!! Hilarious.

This is not the entire piece. Google it if you want to read the whole thing
Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if Obama unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt should ask “What could possibly be so embarrassing in your college records from 29 years ago that you are afraid to let America’s voters see? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s something the voters ought to see.” Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is on the defensive.
My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about Mitt’s tax returns ever again.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. N
Posted on August 6, 2012 at 10:28am by Wayne Allyn Root
ever even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama.
Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving as President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records. Shouldn’t the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as Romney’s? Shouldn’t they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has written about himself–with the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?
The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed?
Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have to maintain good grades?
I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.
Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.
If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?
If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a fishing expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely nothing about them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the same thing. But as Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I have more standing to make educated guesses.
It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff.

Claims #1, 2 and 4, college records. Obama’s college records are not “sealed” by a court order, as this graphic would have you believe. It would be illegal under federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) for Occidental, Columbia or Harvard Law School to give any former student’s records to reporters or members of the public without that person’s specific, written permission. Obama hasn’t released them, but neither have other presidential candidates released their college records. George W. Bush’s grades at Yale eventually became public, but only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. Bush himself refused to release them, according to a 1999 profile in the Washington Post.
OK — Where’s the “leak” on Obama’s grades?
Claim #3, thesis paper. Obama did write a paper on nuclear disarmament for an honors course in American foreign policy during his senior year, but it wasn’t the sort of “thesis” that some colleges require for graduation and keep on file in their libraries, like those that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama released. During the 2008 campaign, reporters were told that Columbia had not retained a copy of Obama’s 1983 paper, and that Obama didn’t have a copy, either. NBC News contacted his former professor, Michael Baron, who said he looked for his copy but couldn’t find it, and thought he probably tossed it out eight years earlier in a move.
NBC quoted Baron as saying the paper likely would have disappointed Obama’s critics. “The course was not a polemical course, it was a course in decision making and how decisions got made,” Baron told NBC. “None of the papers in the class were controversial.”
Claim #5, Selective Service registration. Obama’s Selective Service registration is public. A copy has been posted publicly, and the Selective Service confirmed that Obama registered for the draft on Sept. 4, 1980, and was given registration number 61-1125539-1.
Worth noting is that nobody in the U.S. has been drafted for military service since 1972, the year Obama turned 11. Obama, like other young men turning age 18 since then, was required to register on a standby basis, in case Congress ever resumes an active military draft. Failure to register is technically a crime, and disqualifies a man for federal student aid or from holding certain federal jobs.
OK — Do you really expect that he didn’t keep a copy of his thesis he would have worked on for countless hours of blood, sweat and his heart and soul? It’s amazing how all those folks just lost or discarded that document…. If it was Mitt”s you could find it on 5,000,000 google pages
He was president of The Harvard Law Review. Nobody can find one shred of his writings about anything….

in my experience, NO potential employer has ever asked me for transcripts.
My current employer asked for my transcripts. Then again, I applied for my specific position based upon my college education.

To my knowledge, the only person who ever looked at my college transcripts was my very first C.O. in the Air Force
He then slammed the folder closed and leaned across the desk and said, “OK son, let’s see if you can fly.”

Scout,
I merely correct you whenever you make a silly claim about others being kept by better men when it is you whom is and has always been kept by the better men, the taxpayers. Without the taxpayers you would be nothing. As for me, I have more than I need. Whatever pittance you have is of no concern to me. Perhaps Mitt and Co. would be interested in whatever you may have of value though.

Does beg the question though…is Obama the FIRST U.S. President that has ever required access to the “highest levels of security information”?? Not Bush Jr., Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon,….?? (I think you get the idea. Of course I got it a long time ago).

Looking forward to the Biden/Ryan debate; it could work to Ryan’s advantage to skip the debate personally, and instead substitute an “Eastwood” ladder back. Biden still loses and Ryan doesn’t waste his time.
Seriously though, I predict Biden will overcompensate for Obama’s failed debate performance and then come on too strong and look like an old guy trying to bully and outsmart the “young whippersnapper”. Biden loses. Saturday Night Live writers must be salivating at the prospect of Biden offering up some great material, though.

PEW POLL: Mitt Romney Storms Into The Lead Over Obama
In a shocking one-month swing, Mitt Romney stormed into the lead over President Barack Obama in a new Pew Research poll conducted after Romney’s consensus victory in the first presidential debate.
The poll finds a 11-point swing among likely voters. In Pew’s last poll, conducted in the middle of September, Obama led Romney 51-43 among likely voters. Now, Romney leads 49-46.
…Romney also saw significant gains among women. Last month, women preferred Obama by an astounding 18 points. Now, they are equally split between both candidates at 47 percent apiece.
