This Is Why You Do Not Elect A Community Organizer As President

By Semperpapa

The reaction of the Obama administration to the political crisis in Egypt is the most telling tale of why the American people should never elect a community organizer as president.

Ever since the unrest exploded about 18 days ago, Obama has graced the audiences with his systematic appearances that rivaled the coverage of the Egyptian unrest in frequency.

The result has been the continuous stumbling in messages emanated from the foreign policy stand point.

No person slightly informed can debunk the notion that president Mubarak is a dictator and that his ruling methodology in that country is to be condoned, but the reality of the unrest remains today, as it was in the beginning, still unclear.

The approach of Obama has been one of typical community organizer: see the potential for agitation and step up to the pedestal of reform for reform sake without any clear vision of the outcome.

Reports of the dissatisfaction on the part of the king of Saudi Arabia with Obama and his handling of Mubarak are generating quite a stir. People’s reaction is of outrage over the Saudi king position, but the reality has to be understood from the point of view of the overall situation.

King Abdullah, just as Mubarak, is a despot holding his people in a state of tyranny, and like Mubarak, he has been an ally of the United States, at least on face value.

As the leader of a country with unstable socio-political foundations, the Saudi king cannot be happy with the Obama administration openly and quickly siding with the protesters and against the former ally Mubarak. The actions of the White House show that the US president is ready to dump on any ally for the sake of reform, even if the outcome is a foggy mix spanning from democracy to Islamic state.

The approach taken by Obama on Egypt is the same that he has taken as a president since day one. Change for the sake of change.

Community organizers, political agitators in reality, are trained and devoted to the creation of chaos. As an organizer, the most important thing is to scream the loudest and take the opportunity, as it comes, that the voice is the loudest and therefore attracting those who are still not committed by telling them what they want to hear.

Now Obama has the biggest podium he could ever hope for as an organizer. From that podium he has engaged in the revolutionary change of America, completely disregarding the consequences of that change. Again, change for change sake. And all for the ultimate prize of personal political power.

The situation in Egypt is volatile at best. The actions of Obama have been detrimental to the relationship between the United States and the large Arab nation, relationship that is of extreme strategic significance. The people are once again today in the streets, the response to last night Mubarak speech still unclear; the position of the military still unclear; the political landscape that would take shape there still unclear.

The only clear result of the situation is that the radical Muslim Brotherhood will gain more power in the long run.

What I would like to see is a White House engaging in more behind the scene activities and less in grandstanding. Maybe Obama is trying to get another Nobel Prize or some high level endorsement from the crowd at the United Nations, but I wish someone would remind the man that he is president of the United States and that the safety and security of our Nation should take precedence over his ingratiating of the radical Muslims in the Middle East or the corrupted UN criminals.

His voice may be the loudest these days, which should translate in a much more scrutinized choice of words. These are not the streets of Chicago. The effects of his actions do not only affect the lives of few thousands people in a limited way, but they affect the lives of millions across the globe.

That is the reason why agitators should not be elected president.

Just my thoughts!
