Obama Makes Unannounced Visit to Troops in Afghanistan

Obama Makes Unannounced Visit to Troops in Afghanistan - By Daniel Foster - The Corner - National Review Online

My multiple comments that follow the article are under the name "LoneWolf". (Begin reading the comments in ascending order, from earliest to latest, for better understanding).

It takes a lot of Faith to predict the weather for decades!

The head of the UN climate science body has admitted he was taken entirely by surprise by the ferocious public reaction to a blunder in its report  that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. Rajendra Pachauri said:

"I had absolutely no idea what was coming. It just sort of escalated."

So this prophet who claims he can reliably predict the weather for decades --is taken by surprise by a "storm of criticism."  He should have seen it coming! It takes a lot of faith to reliably predict the weather for decades!

Lessons on Leadership 1

As a deacon in my local church, I'm always on the lookout for examples from spiritual (or national) leaders whose lives I can glean and apply leadership ideas. Make no mistake, all have spiritual application in the kingdom of God regardless from where they come. 

I'm always amazed at how the previous president of the United States (George W. Bush) shed so much light on what it meant to be a leader. On the other hand, our current president of the United States, Barack Obama, sheds light on the fact that community organizers are not leaders. Community organizing appears to have been Barack Obama's only real 'leadership' training. But if one thinks about it: the job of a community organizer is to focus other people on their problems and empower those people to change their own lives.

Regarding leadership skills, we have a President of the United States who was not only a community organizer, but a failed community organizer; simply look at his former Chicago community today. For example, president Obama is so focused on who to blame for a problem that he cannot corral the resources to fix the problem. And, there are so many examples from which I can choose in current events! Remember BP's Clear Water Horizon oil rig blowout in the Gulf of Mexico? The Netherlands offered their expertise to scoop up the surface oil, but Obama turned them down because of US laws prohibiting foreign flag vessels in American waters. (President GWB suspended those laws during Hurricane Katrina!)

To cap it all off, Obama went on morning television, and used a word inappropriate around children, and people were so distracted by his word choice they failed to pay attention to what he really said: he's talking to experts not about solving the problem, but about who to blame!

“I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers so I know whose ass to kick.”   -Obama, June 2010
 

He is talking to experts not to find out how to solve the problem but to find out whose _ss to kick? Seriously?
 

This man Barack Obama needs an enemy to operate. And it explains every step that he takes in addressing a problem. He is his own worst enemy. :-o  

president Obama shows how not to practice leadership.

Light and darkness

“Light shines in the darkness; the darkness comprehends it not.”

This is something to think about, shadow and light, which moves around us and within us. The more we understand about how we house dark and light inside our own souls, the more we can understand its movement throughout the world.

My favorite Rocketman

My favorite rocketman, Sir Elton John, is actually a brave knight; he's willing to dare the swamp of political corruptness. First he played at Rush Limbaugh's wedding, now he's gonna perform a concert in Israel, where other artists are too cowardly to deploy:

“Ain’t gonna stop me from coming here, baby,” he told the crowd in Tel Aviv, saying he believed music should spread peace and bring people together: “That is what we do. We do not cherry-pick our consciences, OK?” he added, in an apparent swipe at the artists who have canceled concerts in Israel . . . “I have always believed that music inhabits a world set apart from politics, religious differences or prejudice of any kind.”

A renegade to the end!

"The buck stops with me."

I notice that the President likes to continually use that phrase, "The Buck Stops… with me.” I wonder if he realizes that it makes him look like a narcissist? The president uses that phrase in every occasion to argue that while bad things that happen under his watch are always his responsibility, --they’re never his FAULT.

Remember the Nigerian panty-bomber (last Christmas) who got on board that jetliner? Obama said it was the fault of the watch list system. *sigh* That's a far cry from "The buck stops here." Failures in policy are the fault of the men who are ultimately responsible for them. Then again, our boy-president is far from being mature, or a leader for these trying times.

Memorial Day query

Why so few Medals of Honor? ..... Despite its importance, --the Medal of Honor has been awarded only 6 times for service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

By contrast, 464 Medals of Honor were awarded during World War II, 133 during Korea, and 246 during the Vietnam War. Our military is just as courageous today as ever before. Something is very wrong here.

The stories of valor in Iraq/Afghanistan must be made public. (You only need to go to Borders bookstore and camp out in the history section to marvel at the books that are published practically every month on the courage of our boys in today's wars.)

There is something very wrong with our national leaders who are not recognizing the valor of our men with the Medal of Honor, --only 6?

But what made... the brainy Clinton a more competent president was his ability to work with his republican Congress.

Maybe the same may happen for our current brainy president. Today's health care reform must be a compromise to be a genuine effort, but right now neither party wants to work with the other! The president and his democrat Congress will be hurt if a health bill with no popular mandate is forced upon the American people. Let's hope that our president can muster a better effort at leading.

Jubilee Vietnam Church | We prayed for Haiti

SUNDAY JAN. 17, 2010 In the JVC Ecosystem on the campus of Jubilee Christian Center, Pastor Bui discussed Haiti and ideas related to some causes of human suffering. Before the 11:00 am service, Esther Bui, (Ps. Bui's youngest daughter) preps for Praise & Worship. Later, joining Esther will be her mom, Mrs. Lan Bui (soprano), Neil Nguyen (guitar), David Bui (drums), and Miss Jenny Tran (soprano).                                                 → → → Pastor Bui announces the plight of our Haitian neighbors, after having suffered a 7.0 earthquake. Pastor walked us through fundamental ideas about God's goodness to all men on earth, found in the gospel of Luke and in James. But it was in Genesis that Pastor alluded to an idea that could explain how tragedies like Haiti's earthquake happen. Gen 3:17 essentially states that because Adam disobeyed God, "...cursed is the ground because of you."  Hmmm, interesting, I immediately thought of shifting plate tectonics! Two Playful Primates in the JVC Ecosystem :: Afterwards, we all retired downstairs to the Jubilee galley. We were served Vietnamese curry chicken with white rice. Here, little Moiselle Huynh and I find time to play whilst all the grown-ups talk. I have known Moiselle for all of her brief 3-year life. Moiselle understands both Vietnamese & English.

Missionary implications

On Christmas Day, a 23-year-old Nigerian named Umar Farouk Abdula tried to detonate a homemade bomb (in his underwear!) onboard a packed Northwest Airlines flight headed for Detroit. But because of a faulty detonator and brave passengers, the terrorist's knickers failed to go off.The security system failed miserably. The explosives he used are easily detected. What's more, Umar's father warned the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria about his boy. A simple screening process (that's already in place) would have prevented him from boarding any aircraft. But citizens on board saved the day! Many days later, President Obama finally announced that Umar has links to al Qaeda.

What took so long? Obama didn't need a top secret briefing to learn this. He could have picked up most of it on the Drudge Report, or merely by bothering to read the morning papers.

I could see the confusion on Obama's face during his leadership failure. Sadly, it was the look of someone who has been convinced for all these years that terrorism is something President Bush cooked up. Now that it is patently obvious that President Bush knew what he was talking about, Obama will need some time to regroup and figure out what to do. I don't think he knows anybody in his world who can help him. He must humble himself and finally learn from the experiences of the previous administration. This is not a good pattern. The president has failed to lead the country following two very serious attacks on our Homeland: 13 people murdered at Fort Hood, Texas, and another Muslim who tried to blow an American jetliner out of the sky by detonating a bomb in his underwear.

What's worse is that this terrorist is now lawyered up and has the right to remain silent; this, a present from Obama himself!

Had Umar been spotted getting trained in Yemen he would have had an encounter with a Hellfire missile. Instead he was caught in the air while attempting to kill several hundred innocent people, and now his 'rights' are read to him! These rights were given to him by President Obama. *sigh*

The missionary implications for my wife and I are escalating. First, the shoe-bomber — remember him? — Richard Reid, was found with explosives in his shoe; as a result the deaconess and I have to trod barefoot through airport security. But wait! --after explosive underwear are uncovered, how will we now be treated by airport security? And what happens when the first exploding suppository occurs?

The implications are very serious indeed. Sadly, I'm too embarrassed to discuss these missionary implications --with my own pastor!

"Mr. Obregon, place your knickers on the conveyor and step away from the machine" ...... Oh, the humanity!

Not a butler, but responsibility

2010 advice (gleaned from 2009):

Rational profiling at airports is premised on probabilities. The elderly Buddhist nun is perceived to be less likely a Muslim terrorist than an Arab. That is simply common sense.

Our politically correct elites, however, refuse to face reality. President Bush the Younger was bad enough in this regard. Øbama is far worse. Americans are in such serious danger, and we still have 3 more years to endure this impotent leadership. Will America survive? /Poli Sci majors, pay attention.
