CONTRAST AND COMPARE, BUSH AND OBAMA IN THEIR OWN WORDS

I was sent a document containing the following presidential quotes. These words tell a powerful story that I wanted to share with you. Both of these speeches have been recorded for historical purposes and will likely show up in an American History curriculum. Two men - two American presidents - two vastly different opinions of their own importance.

GEORGE W. BUSH SPEECH AFTER CAPTURE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN:

"The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator's footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate 'them."


BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SPEECH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011, AFTER CAPTURE OF USAMA BIN LADEN:

"And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as I continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by my intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that I had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan."

Hubris ( /ˈhjuːbrɪs/), also hybris, means extreme haughtiness, pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.

Narcissism - self love, excessive interest in one's self; undue dwelling on one's own self or attainments.

OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL

Bin Laden is dead. I believe that to be true. I know our government has often lied to us throughout our history, and I believe Obama would do anything to create an "event" that portrays him favorably (he is in full-time campaign mode for 2012). But I believe BL is gone from this world thanks to our Special Ops military team. And I will give Obama credit for making the decision to go get him in Pakistan, even though there is information coming out now that Obama was reluctant and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to sign off on the "get Bin Laden" operation. But Obama in the end made the right decision.

But let's not lose sight of some important facts. During the 2008 campaign Obama promised to "bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan." He swore he was going to "close GITMO" in his first days in office. His focus was not on getting BL, but rather closing down the War on Terror. This is a president who won't even call it a War on Terror. This is a president who wants to be friends with the terrorists. This is a president who ordered our military to wash and wrap and bury BL at sea after 45 minutes of prayers in Arabic, supposedly according to Islamic burial tradition, while thousands of people who died in the World Trade Center are in a garbage dump on Staten Island. Now I ask you, does anyone think BL was a true Muslim, practicing Islam? If BL was an example of what Muslims believe, God help us. But Political Correctness reigns in the White House.

Obama wants to take all the credit for "getting" BL. He doesn't mention the fact that in 2007 under Bush a connection was made to a BL courier that took 4 years to cultivate and ultimately led to the resulting raid and death of BL. This event isn't something that just happened in the course of a few months. Bush-era decisions led to Bin Laden's elimination. If Obama had gotten his way he would have done away with all of Bush's National Security practices. What a hypocrite.

And now Obama is going to Ground Zero. Did you know he hasn't been there since the last photo op during the 2008 campaign? New Yorkers who died there have not been important to him until now. He has barely acknowledged what NYC went through, and now he's meeting with the families. All the times he's been in NY to raise money for his presidential campaign, he has never stepped foot at Ground Zero since becoming president. So why is he going to NY now? Call me just a little suspicious. It's because he would never waste an opportunity to further his reelection chances, and this is a nothing more than an opportunistic photo op.

The real heroes here are our military. I give great credit to them, especially the Navy Seals, for executing a mostly flawless take down of BL. I find satisfaction in the fact that the last face Bin Laden saw was the face of a Navy Seal, the face of America. I pray that the ceremony today brings further closure to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and to all Americans who have continued to mourn the murderous event. May we all move on in unity so we can resolve the very important economic issues we face.

FOREIGN AID GOES TO 150 COUNTRIES, INCLUDING MANY YOU'D NEVER GUESS!

Republican Ted Poe from Texas on foreign aid. He shows us that of the 192 countries in the world, we give billions in aid to 150 of them, many you'd never, ever think we'd send a dime to, much less billions. Watch this video. And then ask yourself why foreign aid isn't on the table right now when Washington is ready to close down the government because the Democrats won't agree to the cuts the Republicans want. The Democrats want to shut down the government and stop pay checks to our military, but they are not even talking about foreign aid to countries that hate us. Boy, People, we have to vote the rest of the big spenders OUT OF OFFICE IN 2012. We can't get rid of this kind of obscene expenditure unless we replace every Senator or Congressman who didn't get replaced in 2010 if they are a member of the Big Spender's Club. And anyone who was sent to Washington in 2010 who isn't living up to their promises? They can get fired too. Stay vigilant. Keep active. November 2012 is coming soon.

FORTY PIECES OF SILVER - OBAMA BETRAYS THE BRITS

Remember the big Obama push to sign the new START deal with Russia? It's the nuclear arms reduction deal that Obama, Hillary Clinton and The United Nations has called a "first step toward eliminating nuclear weapons" from the world. Oh, and don't forget about everyone in our Congress who signed onto this cockamamie gimmick.

When N. Korea, China, Pakistan, Russia, France and India all are armed to the hilt with nuclear weapons what makes our rattlebrain President, our clueless Secretary of State and the ever-diligent-always-looking-out-for-America United Nations think that any of the nuclear armed nations will "disarm?"

And then there's Israel. They are the smartest country yet. They refuse to enter into any ridiculous arms reduction treaties and in fact, they won't confirm or deny that they even have nuclear weapons. Sounds like a great way to keep the hounds from coming through the door. The hounds don't know which bone will be thrown at them if they do, so they don't.

And yesterday WikiLeaks published documents that show that the U. S. has agreed to give the Kremlin identifying information regarding the number of missiles the U.S. gives to Britain. Britain has long had a policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal and the U.S. has refrained from disclosing this information to any other country. Britain is smart, like Israel. But the U. S. needed a "bargaining chip" to entice Russia to supposedly go along with START. I say supposedly because if you study the START deal, it favors Russia in so many ways. The Russians really snookered Obama, Clinton and Congress.

And this backstabbing, double crossing, underhanded betrayal by Judas Obama and Congress has sold out one of our staunchest allies. This Sneaky Pete maneuver will certainly cost us the loyalty of any other country we have heretofore considered an ally. Why would any country trust us now? We are the Clown in the Courtyard all over the world, the Sucker-punch Champion, and due to the last two years of preschool foreign policy, no country respects us. We can't be trusted when we sell out our friends and pander to an untrustworthy country like Russia. Take the time to study the historic relationship of Russia and the U.S. Decide for yourself how "trustworthy" Russia is.

Our greatest threat to U. S. national security right now? BHO, Barack H. Obama and his progressive band of demons currently running everything in Washington - and those members of Congress who timidly rubber-stamp everything BHO does. If they are so quickly willing to undermine our allies, how long do you think it would take them to sell out Americans, that's us??

OBAMA SENDS MILLIONS IN FOREIGN AID TO OUR ENEMIES

Here is an example of what the Obama administration has approved in foreign aid. This is from a summary of a report issued by David Obey, D-WI, who is on the Appropriations committee. Mr. Obey has control over how this money is spent. A summary was quietly released by Obey's office last week without a word from any media.

$3.6 billion to expand and improve Afghan security forces

$400 million (requested amount) to improve Pakistani security forces (they hate us)

$1.52 billion as a straight up payment to Afghanistan ($86 million above the requested amount)

$665 million for security assistance in the West Bank and Gaza (Gaza=Hamas) (They hate us)

$250 million to Jordan for economic assistance ($250 million above requested amount) (Aren't they an oil producer?)

$360 million to Egypt ($310 million above requested amount) to expand over-site capacity of the State Department (What in the heck does that mean?)

$74 million to Lebanon for undisclosed purpose (They hate us)

$343 million ($50 million above requested amount) for humanitarian assistance for Gaza (Remember, Gaza=Hamas) (They want us dead)

$200 million for natural disasters for Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Middle East and South Asia (While 3/4 of the homes destroyed by Katrina in New Orleans are still not repaired and no one is living in them. WE HAVE OUR OWN NATURAL DISASTERS TO DEAL WITH!)

$837 million to the United Nations for "peacekeeping operations." Much of this money will likely end up in the hands of UN upper management personnel. Check it out. The UN is as corrupt as many of the nations it allegedly serves.

$17 million for the Iraqi criminal justice system (Another oil rich nation)

Would it help to beg him to spend these dollars here putting Americans back to work? I doubt it .
