Why We Need A Strong Leader

One of many..

Hey folks,

Everyone understands why we lead a strong leader in the White House. Look around. Record high unemployment. Record high foreclosures. Record high energy costs. Record high debt. This President spent more money than any other in history. He fixed NOTHING! In fact, he has made things much worse.

But did you know that this is not actually the President's job? I'm not joking. Do you even know what the Presidents job IS? We talked about this before, but let me share with you the job description...

Section 2

1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

Section 4

United States Constitution. OK. So what is the President's job? Keep America safe. Deal with other leaders from the rest of the world. That's his first and most important job. Not attempt to CHANGE our Constitution or our country into something it was never intended to be. Like this one does.  Not extort others to change their Constitution to include things he believes in. Like this one does. Not to dictate to others where their boundaries and or borders are. Like this one does. Not to ignore our allies, and reach out to their, and our, enemies. Like this one does.

For years, the rest of the world was relatively peaceful, and heading in the right direction. They knew that America with had their back, or was unafraid to stand up for itself when needed. It knew that we stood for right and justice. They knew that our leaders were serious. And yes, some of you will not like this, but they FEARED us.

Since the fall of the USSR, all through Bush one, Clinton, and GW, The rest of the world worried about themselves. They worked on things that were in their interests. They tried, in some cases, failed, political systems, financial plans, etc. They worked with us. Or they ignored us. Oh there were still those that hate us out there. They would attack every now and then to test us. But when we retaliated, they went away. Others backed off.

Now, behind the scenes, Iran hid back under the rock they came out of, after given up the hostages to Reagan. But they started to build a new ideal. Death to Israel and the great satin. Us. China continued to work on building their economy. Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, dealt with their leaders taking over their countries, and enacting a Socialistic utopia. AKA, Dictatorships. Then these was Russia.

We have talked about Russia many times over the years. Putin in particular. You see, Putin is former KGB. He did not, nor does he, like the fact that Russia has become a weak nation. He does not like the fact all these "territories" broke away and became their own countries. He wants "Mother Russia" back. He did when he was President the first time, but he had to deal with leaders he knew, would not stand back and watch the USSR rise again.

So when the time was up for Putin to leave office, he went no where. As I told you would happen. He became the Prime Minister. Dmitry Medvedev became President, however, make no mistake about it, Putin was still very much in charge. Then, when the time pasted and it became "possible" for Putin to regain the helm, him and Medvedev simply switched positions. As I told you was the plan the whole time.

Now? With Obama in the White House, Russia, Putin, is getting more and more bolder. Well, so is everyone else. Iran building a nuclear bomb, with help by Russia by the way. China sending us all kinds of tainted stuff. North Korea testing Nukes, and missiles. The Muslim Brotherhood is on the move all over the Middle East, with help FROM Obama.

The big story was Obama talking to then President Medvedev about giving him "space" until after the election. Here is the exchange..

President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.

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

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

President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

So Vlad knows what he is dealing with in our leadership. So he just decided, you know what, I'm not coming to the G-8 this time around.

Putin will instead send Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to the meeting. Putin and Medvedev completed their job swap on Tuesday when the Russian parliament confirmed Medvedev to return to the position he held last time Putin was president. Putin was also sworn in as President on Tuesday and President Barack Obama called him Wednesday to congratulate him on his return to the top job in the Russian Federation.

He claims he is too busy establishing his new government. But this does not stop him from issuing a strong statement on his, and Russia's role in world history and make a strong statement towards the US. He said this...

“Russia has been consistently pursuing a policy of strengthening the world’s security and we have a great moral right to take a principled and insistent stand." 

Along with this, Putin made it clear that aggression toward Iran and or Syria will not be tolerated.

In addition to celebrating Russia’s role in ending World War II, Putin’s speech was a warning to the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization about involvement in Syria and Iran even though no specific countries were mentioned, several analysts and observers said.

“President Putin made it quite clear who is nursing aggressive plans in the world today,” Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party and its faction in parliament, traditionally loyal to the Kremlin, said in an interview after the speech. “It is the United States and NATO without any doubt.”

Sergei Markov, vice president of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and a Kremlin advisor, said in an interview that Putin showed he has no intention of pandering to aggressive plans.

“Our leader made it clear that such threats that arise from the United States exist today and can eventually lead to a global confrontation,” Markov said in an interview.
Many analysts have said they are concerned with the increasing militarization of Russia’s rhetoric and political and economic decisions.

Russian Chief of General Staff Nikolai Makarov said last week that Russia may consider a preemptive strike on a missile defense system in Europe if the U.S.-led NATO project continues as planned.

In November, then-President Dmitry Medvedev threatened to withdraw from the New START nuclear arms control deal with the U.S. and deploy missiles aimed toward U.S. defense installations in Europe after becoming upset over missile defense consultations between the two countries.

Folks, we need a leader that can see the world for what it is. We need a leader to recognize the greatness of America, in the way it was founded, and begin return us to the position in the world we once held. We need the world to both respect us, and yes, in a sense, even fear us again.

The worse off we are in our country, the more in debt, the more division, the more turmoil we face here, the less respect we have elsewhere. But just the sheer fact that they no longer respect us, is a dangerous trend in of itself. They understand who Obama is. They get it. They ARE it. They know he is more concerned with destroying America FOR them, in his attempt to remake it into something it never should be, to worry about them. A weak leader here, emboldens enemies everywhere.

This is why this election is the most important election in our history. America itself is at stake. Make no mistake about it.
