Would Obama As President Leave Us Defenseless?

Obama’s own words from Obama’s goal? ‘Jeopardize U.S. battlefield superiority’

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you’ve been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I’ll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

Is this the agenda of someone who is concerned with national defense?  Not hardly.  If all of Obamas agenda is implemented, our nation will not be able to respond to any new threats.  This one issue should confirm to every rational person that an Obama presidency would be disasterous to our nation.

Well, there’s the problem, isn’t it?

When personal ‘principle’ or personal vendetta becomes more important than national security, rationality flies out the window.

GREAT POST, Doc!!

Thanks, pp, I’m sure that others here will not share your ‘wisdom’.


You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Haha, DocDave: You can depend on that!

But it won’t affect the accuracy of your excellent post!
