Obama in Cairo: Diplomacy of Wishful Thinking

by Mona Charen

In Cairo, President Obama told (was it for the 100th time?) the story of his African father and American mother. This story has worked well for him in the American context, and he seems to believe that it will beguile the rest of the world as well. We shall see whether this experiment with autobiography as foreign policy has purchase.

But while some of his appeal to Muslims for common ground was certainly benign, there were aspects of the speech that may create more problems than they ...

The empty suit has an empty head where reality is concerned. How soon is this freak's term finished?

President Obama and his Muslim background won't help him nor America! If anything, it'll cause more dissension and as Taxpayers were told, many times over, the wars have just begun! This $100 million politicians are approving won't cover the cost of what they're actually doing putting Americans in Harms Way, let along pay for the 're-building' the countries (that's tried to destroy America) our military tore up! My God, In other words, politicians are saying "It's OK for them to blow up America, we'll build back, but it's not OK to blow up the terrorists' countries that will destroy America! America has lost it's backbone, because they're now trained to "don't drop the bombs where people are!" DUH? AN 'EYE FOR AND EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH' is the only way. OR' get them before they destroy America! As long as politicians continue to send Taxpayers' money and jobs to foreign countries, we're doomed! As usual, the politicians are 'putting the cart before the horse!' Everyday, the politicians come up with 'How to Redistribute the wealth!' The latest cartoon "We can to protect low-income families!" Taxpayers say "Won't that create more low-income families?" Answer to this is 'ABSOLUTELY!' But they don't care, as long as they continue to receive the big salaries and retirements, continue lying, making up lies, with only a few being indicted, Isn't it about time cut their salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly, OR, if this is unacceptable to them, sell them a one-way ticket to the foreign countries they sold America out to, take all their assets to pay off the trillions they've borrowed, without Taxpayers consent, and maybe, just maybe, America will be debt free by year 2035. The latest being "Pair ready to tackle health care overhaul', states Sebelius and DeParle! Why haven't they already 'overhauled' this system! They've been around the DC block a time or two! Taxpayers say 'thanks, but no thanks!' These seasoned politicians know it won't work. They have too much time on their hands. It's obvious this led Freddie, Fannie, HUD, AIG, Automakers, and anyone else taking Taxpayers' money, for endless money pits, into bankruptcy! It's time to go back to the 'pay as you go' for doctors and hospitals! 'Fair Tax', to include property, should be top priority! Everyone must pay their share, including politicians! Otherwise, it's 'Discrimination against Taxpayers!' While I'm on a roll, "Putting the cart before the horse"! When politicians took over, the Moonshiners' stills, for the revenue of course, started bottling, selling the booze, locking you up for drinking it, and furnishing a tax-paid attorney, clothes, medicine, and food. Exorbitant costs and an endless money pit for Taxpayers, wouldn't you say? Politicians, now, want to build infrastructures without having textile and manufacturing jobs in America! Another 'Cart before the horse' hair-brained scheme! Taxpayers want Obama to live up to his stated 'he'd go over line by line and eliminate the endless money pits!' Well, what's he waiting for?
