As I have watched the news reports of Obama in Europe, I have had mixed feelings. In some ways it is nice that the people of Europe think he is great. But as I think about it further, I realize that Obama is loved in Europe for the very reasons that I think he is dangerous for America. He wants to be loved by the world, but we don’t need a president that is loved by the world. We need a president that can make the tough choices and do what is right for America. The steps President Bush took to protect this country made him very unpopular in many parts of the world, but he was successful in protecting this nation. He succeeded in stopping Islamic terrorist fanatics from increasing their destruction to our country. For a very long time, Europe has been unable to protect themselves and have had to look elsewhere for security. Most often they look to America. And even though they depend on America, they resent our strength and technological advances. There is a great deal of jealousy in Europe toward America.
As I listened to Obama speak yesterday, I realized that his words mean nothing. We have heard him speak so many times, and then later learned that he was telling us what we wanted to hear, but in the end what he had determined to do all along. He is busily taking this nation from a capitalist free enterprise country to one that is more and more a socialist nation. He will continue to say what people want to hear, but we should not be deceived. We need to recognize that his goals are set, and have been set for a very long time. He is a huge believer in big government. He wants the government to control as many aspects of society and business, and indeed our very lives, as he can get. His megalomaniac personality shows that he believes he is what we all need. He, and those who think like him, believe that they must be in power and increase their power, so that they can make sure the country is run their way.
I believe there are socialists that believe it is best to force people to live under a socialist government so everyone will be taken care of. It has been proved many times that this just doesn’t work, but they keep trying. But I also believe that for some people, and I think Obama is in this category, socialism is a way to gain more power. I believe he thinks he has the right to power. I believe he is a dangerous man. And with this in mind, it makes me sad to see the Europeans so in love with him. I hope they don’t ever find themselves in a position to again need the USA and it’s military strength, but we aren’t able to help, because we have been so weakened that we too are helpless. Time will tell
