I doubt President Obama sees any daggers, real or imagined, but he hopefully sees tests before him, tests which could serve the same purpose as daggers at America’s throat.
Vice President Biden, before he was VP Biden, had warned that tests would happen. Back in October, the prescient Joe said, “We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember, I said it standing here, if you don’t remember anything else I said: Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
Pal Joey apparently was muzzled, squelched, told to shut up shortly thereafter and never again spoke publically of testing “the mettle [the character] of this guy,” the President- Presumptive at the time, Senator Barack Hussein Obama.
Well, that test or tests, international and domestic, in political-speak, have now been “generated,” in real-speak they have “hit the fan,” and we shall shortly see the depth of Obama’s brilliance and character.
The domestic testing has been ongoing and is a carryover from the administration of Bush II. Mainly, but not exclusively, it has consisted of the banking, mortgage, economic mess. Only time will tell whether history assigns Obama, and therefore America, a passing grade.
At this point, Wall Street has evidently decided to give a resounding “F” to the new president and for his wonder boy, tax-cheating Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner. Their mindless profligacy in tossing around a trillion here, a trillion there, of taxpayer dollars have been met with a clear vote of no confidence and a drop of thousands of points on the Dow.
After being clued in by Bill Clinton, Obama suspended his very peculiar gloom and doom, crisis here, crisis there, approach to inspiring Americans in favor of the pep-talky, “Hey, we can do it, folks!” But the damage had already been done.
Main Streeters and Wall Streeters seem to be thinking, Will the real president please stand up and do something constructive? Both should be cautioned not to expect much in that regard since Obama has admitted that he regards the stock market as nothing more than a “tracking poll” and neither he nor Michelle Obama own any stocks, according to their tax returns. So, who cares?
Obama’s other testing fields are overseas, in foreign nations and in international waters and so far he seems to have adopted a very diplomatic, hands-off, do nothing, wait and see approach.
North Korea’s Kim Jong-il, maniacal loose-cannon extraordinaire, thrives on war and rumors of war and gets his jollies by launching missiles and threats, recently including threats to shoot down civilian airliners near his airspace and warning of all-out war if we dare to shoot down his satellite.
The latest news out of Pyongyang is that the paranoid Kim Jong-il has cut his military hotline with South Korea and is in process of mobilizing his million man army. The reason? Fear of invasion by the United States and South Korea.
It’s as realistic to expect a U.S. invasion of North Korea as it is to expect us to invade Angolia but realism never enters the equation when it comes to Kim’s thinking.
Iran’s equally unstable nutcase, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes similar threats, threatens missile and nuclear strikes-when Iran’s nuke facilities are up and running-and now demands the United States apologize for 60 years of wrongs against Iran:
