Isn't it funny how everyone tells us that Obama is in the driver's seat, while Romney is floundering, sounding radical and ignorant on foreign policy? But what happened today?
Addressing the United Nations this morning, Obama said, "There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents. There is no video that justifies an attack on an embassy." Precisely!
After two weeks of apologizing and saying that the film provoked the rioting, Obama tried to steal the position that Mitt Romney and conservatives have been arguing.
But even during a speech in which Obama was trying to sound tough, his worldview slipped through when just moments before, he said, "I know that not all countries in this body share this understanding of the protection of free speech."
Here we go again. It's all moral relativism. In the United States, we protect speech. In China, in Cuba, in the so-called Muslim world, it's a completely different standard that affords no protection at all to those who dare to speak up. Does Obama think banning speech that is offensive to Islam is okay so long as the jihadists don't kill anyone? He seemed to leave the door open to that prospect.
By the way, as you may know, Barack Obama has refused to use his time in New York to meet with other foreign leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Yet he does have time to be "eye candy" on "The View." An Obama aide explained it this way to the New York Times: "Look, if he met with one leader, he would have to meet with 10."
Isn't that what we pay him for? If Mr. Obama isn't up for the job, as his record clearly demonstrates, then we need to fire him on November 6th!
