WAITING FOR THE NEXT SHOE TO DROP

SPECIAL POST

As the violent Islamic protests spread around the world and as the American death toll mounts in Afghanistan, Americans are wondering what can possibly happen next.  We have a President who can’t meet with Netanyahu, who wanted to meet with Morsi instead but backed down under pressure, and who ultimately decided to spend a night with David Letterman.  While Americans look to Obama to deal firmly and proactively with the uprisings, news comes that one of the major players in the attack had been released from Gitmo.  And Obama seems content to ask Muslims to please be nice and polite to our citizens overseas?  

Why are our President and Secretary of State so quiet over the Middle East events? 

Standard & Poors dropped our credit rating over a year ago and Egan-Jones cut our credit rating just a few days ago in response to our “QE3” quantitative easing announced by the Fed.  The Congress, instead of dealing with our budget as they have been consistently promising to do for three years now, is kicking the can down the road again. 

Tuesday morning, Chinese demonstrators attacked the car carrying our U.S. Ambassador as it tried to enter the Beijing embassy.  Chinese police and uniformed guards rushed to the scene and pushed demonstrators away.  Cyber hackers from Eastern European countries hacked the computers of Bank of America and cyber attacks against U.S. firms and the government are increasing dramatically.  At the same time, we have a President and State Department apparently in negotiations with the Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorists over the release of one of the worst terrorists of all time, "The Blind Sheik."

It seems to me that our nation’s day-to-day security is severely at risk and we have a President who prefers to deal with it on a reactive basis; when something happens, then he’ll deal with it.  So… what’s going to happen next?  An Iranian nuke to Israel?  A Terrorist attack here in America? 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
