Three Dictators Endorse Obama

The Obama campaign for re-election has some friends overseas. Unfortunately these friends are the kind of guys who are stamping out freedom in their own countries, or have a long history of human rights violations. Some of them have both. When the oppressive dictators of the world support the President for re-election, what does that say to you about his foreign policy and just who Obama's foreign policy benefits? If you think this is a good thing, then what would make you even happier? An endorsement from Iran's Ahmadinejad?

Much like us, even foreign dictators only have 2 choices of who to endorse for president. So it's 50/50 already, but generally the left has better foreign policy than the right. Basically if you look at our recent history Republican presidents get us into wars and Democrats get us out. That alone is enough to make a Obama favorable to just about any foreign leader.

I agree knoodleknight18 they only have two choices just like we do. They're just picking the so-called lesser of the two evils. I would prefer someone who is not for starting conflict for the sake of it. Look what it has gotten us, " Nothing!

hi Knoodleknight18, you have completely overlooked the fact that ignoring great evils do not guarantee they will go away.. We're treating the jihadists just like we did hitler, only multiply hitler into the thousands and growing.. This nation is being influenced by foreign backed liberal education and liberal news media (I can't really call it "reporting") our present president included. The sad thing is it won't be us who have to deal with it later..

Absolutely, Rollo! quote: "Kennedy began the Vietnam War, LBJ intensified it. Both Democrats. Nixon, a Republican brought the boys home from Vietnam." You got me wondering so I did some research to brush up on some things: - Getting involved with the Korean War was an act of the United Nations - http://articles.usa-people-search.com/content-facts-of-the-korean-war.aspx http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/battleswars1900s/tp/The-Korean-War.htm And the president at the time was Harry Truman a democrat. - The US was involved in several NATO and UN conflicts during the Clinton administration, such as the war in Kosovo (Operation Allied Force), the Somalia / Mogadishu event, and several other miltary operations. Our esteemed liberal press just doesn't make such a ruckus over it when it's a Democrat administration.. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Yugoslavia/BillClintonsWar_Yugo.html

That stinks. It shows you who Obama really is, He favours the Muslims around the world rather then Americans. I suspect his tendency is to ruin America and turn it into a third rate country. He is stopping oil production here, oh yes, if he gets re=elected, he will try to take over the internet. Yes then I am afraid there will not be any more serious political discussions opposing the democrats if he is elected.

He means king as Louis 4th of France said I am the state. Sorry my French is not that good. We have our own Queen Elizabeth and she would not do that. At least she cares about people, Obama does not.

He's already given himself permission to turn off the Internet whenever he deems it to be necessary. He doesn't wait for anyone to give him that power, he takes it. I understand now why he believes that "We the people" means something different to Obama. He said it all the debate when he said "This nation. Me." It's good to be king, eh?

You would think that might cause everyone to take pause! I find it really odd how, with some, it won't!

I saw an Obama supporter the other day tell a report that Romney is a communist. I mean, there are a lot of clueless people out there.

In my opinion, just more red flags. Keep in mind, he let Russia know that once he was re-elected, he would have more flexibility. Maybe he cut the same deal with others. Keep in mind, we only know this because he didn't know that his mike was live. There is no way you can imply that we are better off now in the world than we were 4 years ago. I think what this country needs is a healthy dose of Dyck Cheney! That will shut up these dictators again!

It is scary. Who needs sovereignty? Rights? liberty? Obviously not us according this foreign policy.

I warned about Putin from the beginning. He spent his whole life in the KGB. You don't spend your life in the KGB and then suddenly turn around and become a benevolent democratic leader. Between the missile defense shield in Poland and the treaty with Russia that gives out information on Britain's defense systems, Obama has already worked against our security in collusion with Putin. I shudder to think what more flexible options he plans to exercise.

I can see why foreign leaders would want Obama re-elected. If we let them influence our elections, we're done. But I think it's already happened. There are rumors that a lot of foreign money was contributed toward the 2008 election that went into Democrat coffers. And the Obama re-election website makes it easy for foreign money to be contributed but not accounted for. His whispered promise to the Russian, as one person cited, should alarm anyone to the point of a stampede toward the Independent or Republican candidate. It should have started impeachment proceedings or at least investigations. I can't believe so many people, apparently, are working with our president for the downfall of our country. Well, I can..but it's so sad.

I've taken to calling some folks (to myself) the blind minions! And, I'm praying against spells and enchantments, because I know far too many minds are blinded to what is occurring in this country and what an important crossroads we are at.

It's no surprise really. Dictators recognize that he is like minded with them. By his own statements, he has shown that he would like to be a dictator in this country. Obama's supporters won't care about this in the least. They see his appeasement type of foreign policy and being friendly with oppressive dictators as the right course. They think it's possible to reason with the unreasonable, like Ahmadinejad, and that talking to him will actually have favorable results, even though history has proven that trying to reason with demagogues is a fruitless endeavor. I'm not exactly sure what Romney's foreign policy is at this point. I'm hoping it will be less interventionist than other administrations, but as a whole, there is no doubt in my mind that he will be better for the country than another 4 years of what we've had.

I think Romney has a good grasp on how the world works. The fact that a UN representative said that the US shouldn't elect Romney is all I need to know to convince me that he's got a better foreign policy than the apologist we have in office right now.

Didn't Chavez say I'd vote for you and you'd vote for me? Yea, they're a little to cozy for my taste. Not to worry though, Romney's on it: http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politics/2012/07/12/romney-condemns-obama-view-venezuela-hugo-chavez-as-harmless/ Funny you should mention Ahmadinejad. What with Obama's secret talks with the mad man since the beginning of his presidency. I know our liberal friends won't have a problem with our President talking 'secretly' with a guy who has promised to deliver nuclear weapons to us and our supposedly closest ally, but I DO. The White House strenuously denied the claims after The New York Times reported that "intense, secret exchanges between American and Iranian officials" had taken place almost from the beginning of Obama's first term. Of course Obama denies the secret talks. But hey, he said lots of things we now know were untrue. And WHY do foreign leaders express an opinion on the election anyway?

I certainly DO NOT trust President Obama in any negotiating with other nations, whatsoever!! Especially since not knowing there was open mike he told Russia's Putin's representative how he would have so much more leeway after the election!! The President's blind minions may be perfectly willing to excuse this away, but not me! Certainly is too big a battle to be mildly betting on..
