A Russian Wink and a Nod...

This is a conversation that REALLY took place between President Obama and President Medvedev, of Russia recently.

Obama: "On all of these issues, but particularly on missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him [referring to Vladimir Putin] to give me space."

Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you."

Obama: "This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility."

Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir. I support you."

Why do you suppose that President Obama, leader of the free world, is begging the prime minister of Russia, a second-rate post-communist wasteland, for "space" on the issue of missile defense - and "all these issues", too?

Is President Obama really planning to cede so much of our national security and sovereignty to the former Soviet Union that even his loyal base would revolt?

His cavalier response to questions about his statements has included his assertion that he's not "hiding the ball". And he's right. Mr. Obama has been very transparent about the types of "change" he wants to bring to America. His lap dogs in the media have simply chosen to mislead the voting public by failing to inform them of Mr. Obama's prior statements.

Single-payer national healthcare, back-breaking energy prices, a diminished role on the world stage, withdrawal from Middle Eastern conflicts regardless of the outcome, allowing the terrorist state of Iran access to atomic materials, weakening the US military, and abandoning allies are all things the President wanted to achieve before his election. They are things he has spoken freely of and things he continues to pursue by fiat and by legislation.

If this is "progress" then we must fight against progressivism in every aspect and every political party of our national, state and local government. We must find candidates for every office who will push back the tide of government solutions and liberate citizens everywhere to make for themselves what they would enjoy in this life.
