Obama Makes You Feel Like a Yo-Yo!

Do you feel like a yo-yo on the end of a string that rises and falls tied to a finger as the hand moves up and down? How about affected by crises caused solely by international interventionist events? Do the words like "manipulation" or "being-used" come to mind here? I think so.

The ineptitude of the Obama administration to formulate, plan and execute a foreign policy has left the American public in eminent danger. As we come closer to celebrations by terrorist groups of September 11, a date marked by the infamous 2001 NYC twin towers and the 2012 Benghazi embassy attacks. The method of attack was the same in both instances and it was not 'box cutter' wielding airplane highjackers or heavily armed Islamist militants launching an organized attack on an embassy outpost. The worst possible scenario was the 'element of surprise', not knowing or suspecting anything until it was already happening; it's 'being caught with your pants down', that's the ultimate method of getting the upperhand to win any battle.

The rise over the past four years of the Islamic State, IS, was under Obama's watch, not prior to 2009 on George Bush. It was largely just ignored, downgraded and pooh-poohed as a 'jayvee team'. During the 2012 Presidential election his detractors were even scoffed at as Obama bragged, "...al Qaeda was on the run!" and "..the Russian Cold War was over twenty years ago!"

Obama's 'Red-Line' policies are delineated by ultimatums with no actionable punishment for noncompliance. His political identity is closely affiliated with no intervention in the Urkraine, Syria or Iraq, so it is his default option to ultimately avoid any major defeats or embarrassments. Hillary Clinton recalled Obama saying, "Don't do stupid shit" as his foreign policy approach which only allowed the IS threat to metastasize like cancer. This 'don't do anything and it will go away' mentality is no longer acceptable as this IS threat will not go away.

The Obama Middle East foreign policy contains unglued, disjointed confusion within the language of morality and platitudes rather than effective, specific, concrete goals to achieve predetermined quantifiable objectives. The policies are akin to setting zero as a goal--then no one can accuse Obama of overpromising and underdelivering. Thank God, we can hold our congressmen and senators feet to the fire by checking their promises with their roll call records.

So what can Americans do now? 

1. It is imperative to examine roll call records of our Senators and Congressmen on how they have voted for defense funding and troop deployment. Let's guarantee our own protection with votes for the representatives that really will support our troops to defend us. https://www.govtrack.us/.
 
2. Let the White House hear you, even President Obama listens to public opinion and watches polls. http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact .

3. You must VOTE in the November 2014 Mid-Term Election to elect representatives that will unseat politicians who do not support energy independence with drilling oil, gas fields and mining coal. This growing U.S. production will cripple the Middle East strangle hold on the world economy. http://www.rollcallvotes.com/oh/index_2012.html.   

Vote in November 2014 Elections!
