If the crap hit the fan and Obama didn't know what to do, who would he call???

A lot has happened in the world during the two weeks since the election. Here is a short and incomplete list:

1) Terrorists have launched at least 45 rockets into Israel. Some of those rockets were more sophisticated than any that they have ever shown in their arsenal, and quite obviously came from Iran. Israel retaliated with at least one bombing campaign into the West Bank. Tensions are running at their highest point in this area since Israel’s incursion into Lebanon a couple of years ago.

2) Russia has deployed Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles to the borders of it’s European neighbors, and threatened to launch a nuclear attack against Poland for cooperating with US Missile Defense plans.

3) Russia is sending an entire naval fleet to the Caribbean for military exercises.

4) Russia is sending air defense supplies and training personnel to Cuba. By the way, this is exactly what they said they were doing in the ’60’s, when they actually sent nuclear weapons to Cuba and pointed them at Washington, DC and other cities along the US East Coast.

5) Venezuela has threatened to deploy a tank battalion to the streets of it’s second largest city if the people who live there do not vote for the communist candidate for mayor in the next election.

6) Iran has tested a new missile capable of delivering a warhead full of WMD’s to Central Europe.

7) Iran has threatened to take military action against American military personnel that come close enough to it’s border to make them feel threatened.

8) Obama has been given classified briefings from all sections of government in regards to the state of all current threats against the United States and our allies.


We all know that Obama has no experience whatsoever in international affairs, and he is facing a lot of challenges in the world. When he was given the classified briefings, he undoubtedly felt the full brunt of the pressure that Presidents actually have to face. So, he placed a phone call to someone who he knew would no how to handle these situations correctly. He called someone of impeccable character, who he knows will give him the best advice, even if they do not always agree politically. He called a man who he knows, no matter what, would always put the needs of America above his own. The two set up a meeting for this coming monday. Who is he meeting with, you ask? John McCain.

Even Obama knows the voters got it wrong this time.

  2. John McCain knows only of nation-building. He wouldn't know what to do if our country was actually attacked. Just like Bush after 9/11. The only two presidents we have had in the past 50 years that deserve even the smallest bit of respect are John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

  3. I agree with Bradley's assessment of Kennedy and Reagan.
