Obama's Projects

    Someone is waking up to the American-led buildup of NATO troops encircling Russia. The Finance Minister of Germany had a very powerful word for it. He called it "war-mongering." And still the American government seems to know nothing about this, worn-out from their jobs, and only seeking a little bit of non-stress when they get home, unable to keep up with Obama hiding the mischief he's making. Why get into war with Russia? What a suicidal bomber Obama woul  turn out to be! He'd take the whole world with him. But would he do that to his family? If he really believed Sharia Islam. Plenty of very intelligent people are blowing up their vests. Why not Obama? He'd take out the main enemy of Sharia Islam- Russia, who knows how to fight and win against ISIS. They're the ones responsible for the steady shrinking of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, not the United States. Russia's learned from Afghanistan and Chechnya. There's been a recognition in the WSJ and on the John Bachelor Show that the world seems to have forgotten that a nuclear war is a no-go. So many live in a fantasy world where they think they are tatooed savages and enjoy animated, unbelievable movies, that they are so divorced from reality they may think they can survive a nuclear war. Even the high-school graduates at Ivy League Universities, think they know it all and seek safe places ( the new padded cell) where they won't have to see anything new, negative, or challenging. When are they going to apply for SSI?
    The other Obama project the American government, we the people, seem to be sleeping through is handing over the Internet to the control of Khomieni, Castro, Putin, Xi Jing, and that crazy man in North Korea. How will you like your website, your blogging and your e-mailing then? Insider guests on the John Bachelor Show say Obama's rationalization is that America is in a decline - thanks to him- so we may as well surrender the Internet to the strong nations, and maybe our gentlemanly, read"cowardly," ways will rub off on them. That's about as sane and effective as "leading from behind!" If you are an American, that is. Big if!
    So wake up, American government! You're about to have your employees get you into a war with Russia and hand over the Internet to your enemies. Can you possibly find the time to do something about these little issues? What to do? Call your government representatives and tell them you're not interested in war with Russia caused by NATO blustering at the Russian border with war-like manuvers such as "Operation Spearhead." Are they crazy? They want to "spearhead" a drive into Russia? Where are a few good men and women?  Also tell your very privileged - since they don't have a real job like you- representatives that you want continued American control of the Internet and you want them to support the bill co-sponsored by Ted Cruze to do just that. Wake up American government before it's too late. We've never had an Islamist president before. Deal with it!
