The UN Speech

By lex, on September 23rd, 2009

I missed it, but the UK Times Nile Gardiner was not impressed.

Props, however, to the Great White Up.

    The last time th Democrats ran things, (Clinton’s eight years) we had prosperity and high levels of employment. Many say that economy was the result of the Republicans being in the White House for the previous 12 years.

    After Clinton left, an attack that was concieved hatched while Clinton was at the helm devastated out country. Had a stronger leader with more of a backbone been looking after the ship of state, many feel Al-Quaeda could not have grown to be the organization it was while Clinton and the Democrats managed our defense. The lack of action from the Democrats when it came to national defense and the shameful behavior we had to endure during the Clinton years is about to be repeated. We are letting down our guard and setting ourselves up for another series of attacks. The bad guys have seen the writing on the wall and think we are a much easier target. Hell, I think we are an eaier target.

    No clear policy on defense, no aggressive action against our sworn enemies, weakening our defensive capability, lack of credibility amongst our allies and czars that preach solidarity with socialists, terorists and thieves. We are in trouble.

      To be fair to Clinton, every time he used military force the Republican party condemned him. Given the limited information he had, and the political constraints he was working under, his policies make plenty of sense. One must remember that up until 9/11, Bush policies were almost identical.

      “Many say that economy was the result of the Republicans being in the White House for the previous 12 years.”

      Yeah, that makes sense.

      “After Clinton left, an attack that was concieved hatched while Clinton was at the helm devastated out country.”

      And who was president when that attack occurred well into his presidency?

      “czars that preach solidarity with socialists, terorists and thieves. ”

      These are just nonsensical talking points you got from Glenn Beck.

        Alos,

        Not sure you read the NYT but if so, you will learn that, Acorn are cheats and thieves, and a Whitehouse Czar with socialist agenda just resigned. This is not Glenn Beck warning us, it’s the left leaning NYT. Even east coast liberals can see the problem.

    I missed it too. On purpose. Guess that makes me a racist.

    Heh.
    Gee, it looks like even a socialist country can get some things right occasionally. ;-)

    Here’s an interesting graphic of Obama’s speech via wordle, a word cloud generator:

    Contrast this with the word cloud of Sarah Palin’s speech in Hong Kong:

    Granted, different audiences, different subjects, but the general aimlessness and fluffiness of Obama’s speech is evident: populist words such as ‘people’ ‘nations’ ‘world’ ‘peace’ etc.

    Palin’s speech is more directly pointed -’China’ looms extremely large, showing that China dominated Mrs. Palin’s address, but so does ‘Chinese’, ‘economic’ ‘Afghanistan’ ‘war ‘Asia,’ as well as ‘world’. Less fluff, more content and easier for the reader to discern what she is actually saying.

    I saw that when Gaddafi made his speech, he basically accused Israel of killing JFK. And maybe MLK.

    I mean, you gotta laugh at the idea that the UN even listens to these people.

    Sorry CG, I can’t laugh at the fact that the U.S. allows terrorists/terrorist supporters into this country for anything. Gaddafi and Ahmadinnerjacket should not be allowed to set foot on U.S. soil.

    The U.N. speech by Obama? A huge step backwards for this country. Our great appeaser-in-chief really stepped up the “America has been evil” and “America has only done anything constructive since I, The One, took office” rhetoric.

    Disgusting.

    Though I do applaud the 11 countries who walked out of the assembly when Ahmanutjob took the podium. The count included Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Australia and … the U.S.

    Kris … I’m offended by this also. I’m very tired of America politely accepting insults from wormy little persons because we supposedly are the adults in the relationship and we have to permit the children their tantrums. Well I don’t. And I won’t. Obama acts as if he’s a visitor here, and doesn’t like what he sees. What he is, is a poor President and a bad representative of the greatest nation in the world today.
