A recent email from a reader carried a poignant message. The woman, a citizen of South Africa and successful business owner, wrote:
I have to tell you that most people (rational people, not jihadis and Soviets) are astonished at Obama and much of the confusion that is the result of really bad policies and leadership.
Watching the U.S.A. fumble and make very big blunders is bizarre! …
We are speechless… [The] U.S.A. is becoming one of those issues that no one wants to openly discuss in polite company. … Nothing the Obama admin is doing makes sense. …
It is becoming an issue that is considered bizarre. When factoring in future planning, CEOs in many companies are starting to speak about America in the same dismissive way as [those CEOs speak of] Greece or the Soviets.
One cannot trust what the U.S.A. is going to do… so one moves the business of planning to somewhere else and raises one’s eyes to the ceiling, as nobody can predict that America will take rational actions or protect itself (never mind protect the global economical system).
It has gone beyond a domestic U.S.A. issue; it’s beyond jokes. It’s become an embarrassment to commonsense business people everywhere — that’s why the world is buying gold and bullion.
[...]
[A] rogue American government [is] endangering the rest of civilization.
A growing body of Americans must wonder, do this South African businesswoman’s sentiments sum up the impression of the United States that Barack Obama intended to give to the rational world?
I am not an american and I am convinced that that is exactly the impression that Barack Obama intended to give to the rational world. Mr. BHO is out to destroy the USA as a first step to the destruction of Western Civilisation. WAKE UP AMERICA.
Yes, BO did intend to ‘destroy’ this country and the ‘rational world!’ And, if left unchecked, there is much more devastation to come!!
I agree 100% with the S. African businesswoman and yaakov (John Peyton as well).
The drip, drip, drip of evidence has become a flood that even the useful idiots are finding difficult to ignore.
It is official: WE HAVE A CERTIFIED MARXIST (not a socialist) AT THE WHITE HOUSE!
Those who follow what is going on in the government as well as unions and other radical leftist groups know exactly what I am talking about.
This is the great assault this nation has faced from within – even greater than the one under FDR (whether the lasting impact of this one will be worse than the one by FDR remains to be seen)
