Obama bigger threat than Osama ever was

Once upon a time, there was a coward named Osama Bin Laden who said he would bring down this great nation by destroying its economy.

I believe he is no longer a danger. The real threat is not hiding in a cave in the mountains in the Middle East but at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The do-nothing senator from Illinois is now the threat to the Constitution and our nation. This country will no longer be the land of the free and the home of the brave but the Obama-nation he is creating. As a senator he was out of his depth. As president, he lacks character and leadership. He is all rhetoric and no substance.

The day of the terrorist tragedy at Fort Hood, Texas, he opened his remarks about the shooting with a lighthearted shout out to Native Americans and thanks to his staff for putting together a great meeting. Then he mentioned the slaughter of our soldiers on American soil. That was shameful exhibition of his lack of concern for our military men and women.

The only thing he has done since he has been in office is campaign for Democrats and apologize for this great nation. The good news is when he is doing this, he cannot screw up other things. He has his socialists, communists, fascists and anti-Americans to do that for him. Maybe it's time for a shout out to Marx, Lenin and Chairman Mao.

After talking to a lot of people in the last couple of months I am confused as to how he became president, nobody but one close friend admitted he voted for him. When I asked how he felt now, he said he (Obama) is way over his head.

This country will never recover from the damage this person and his cronies are causing unless we stand up and stop the destruction now, not next November or in 2012.

This country was a leader of nations not a pawn to be controlled by other countries. The change he promised will be to turn this Obama-nation into a Third World country. Destroyed by Obama and his anti-American friends.
