Obama Says America Will Defend South Korea (snort)
President Lee Myung-Bak of South Korea was at the White House today, and in a joint news conference with Barack Obama, affirmed his demand that North Korea end its nuclear ambitions (affirmed his demands? Sure, let’s go with that)
Lee welcomed assurances that his country remains under the US security umbrella — and said Obama, who advocates an eventual end to nuclear weapons, made clear that it included the US nuclear deterrent.
“This has given the South Korean people a greater sense of security,” Lee said.
“We agreed that under no circumstance are we going to allow North Korea to possess nuclear weapons,” Lee said.
Unless Lee has mastered the art of time travel and can go back to the year 1994 and kill Jimmy Carter, he’s a dollar short and 15 years too late.
Lee must have forgotten that in June of 1994, Jimmy Carter went to North Korea and visited Kim Il Sung — a trip santioned by Bill Clinton (even though the commie press would have you believe otherwise). While talking Manifesto with Sung, Carter agreed to give the stinking North Korean commies billions in food, aid, medicine, oil, and even a bloody nuclear reactor. Yes. To stop the North Koreans from attaining nuclear weapons, Clinton and Carter Co.™ decided to give the reds a nuclear reactor. Like if you want to stop a guy from smoking you give him a lighter and a pack of smokes.
The North Korean gov’t agreed to halt its nuclear program, and immediately went on to starve its people and use the billions in aid, food, medicine, etc, for their own use. In the meantime, China was supplying the North with all sorts of goodies –engineering, a working gas centrifuge, weapons, etc. As an aside, the Chinese let the Paskistanis ship nuclear technology to the North Koreans that it purchased from Beijing, in exchange, the Chinese got the No Dong missile technology. All in all, one big happy family they were.
Fast forward to 2009, America has a dumber version of Carter in the White House, and North Korea is loaded for bear. And all Obamuh can utter are a bunch of useless catch-phrases and idiot-speak, and every last despot knows they have a more than free ride for the next eight years.
And to think that the evil Conservative hawks wanted Clinton to invade North Korea and end the threat way back in 94. Boo conservatives. Yippee, multi-culti, can-we-talk, you-can’t-hug-someone-with-nuclear-arms, unicorn-fart-sniffin’ hippie, scumbag liberal traitors.
Oh, and thank you very much Jimmy.Fucking.Carter.

Well,at least we (Canada) didn’t sell NK a CANDU reactor.
This is where Obama has to live up to his billing as the Great negotiator, the guy that can make anyone see reason.
Only problem is, NK and a few other nations aren’t particularly impressed with Obama’s rhetoric, and will continue to develop nuclear weapons until they have one of the world’s largest arsenals.
Better keep the Sixth Fleet in the area, Pres.”O”, they might be needed at a moments notice.
I would love to know China’s opinion of Obama.

I’m sure the Chinese gov’t has a love/hate relationship with him right now.
When he was elected they loved him. They thought they got the ultimate liberal weakling. One who thought the same as they did and could easily be pushed around. And they were right.
Then the Chinese started to hate him. Obama, through inept, idiotic, and purposely destructive financial decisions, bankrupt the States in less than 60 days and will send the States spiraling into hyper-inflation within the next two years. This has caused the Chinese hundreds of billions on Treasury Bill losses–not to mention has extended the recession.
So ya, they hate him now and will happily watch him squirm.

If the NORKs have more than a couple divisions of these Pyongyang City Music Hall Rockettes, they don’t need nukes.
They can just kick the rest of the world to death.
(I get a hernia just thinking about trying that ….)

Have I ever mentioned how embarrassing it is that you Canadians seem to know more about American politics than Americans?
It makes me feel even worse knowing that we are about to give you back the Winnipeg Jets after the city of Phoenix has finished wiping their ass with the team.

Mayor, after World War III, updated history text will be needed.
The kids might appreciate your version.

“We will abide by our committment to defend South Korea” is Urkelspeak for: “You’re on your own, suckers!”
If I was in charge of the ROK army, I’d go on full alert.

Did you actually read that before you posted it? Obama is anything but dumb – you’d be thinking of the guy who let the door hit him on the way out.
Or maybe it’s that there’s something else going on that you’re too dumb to see. How silly of me, you’ve a blog on the internet, clearly you’re some kind of tactical genius in international diplomacy.

Granted, Obama is about 1000x smarter than the people who voted for him, but he’s still an idiot.
And the proof you have provided me showing me otherwise is rock solid.
Let me guess, you’re a Daily Kos groupie?

“Obama is anything but dumb – you’d be thinking of the guy who let the door hit him on the way out.”
I got better grades than Obama in college and grad school.
When I make a speech, I don’t have to read it off a computer screen all the time.
I didn’t have to “guess” that his “stimulus” wasn’t going to halt unemployment like he said it would–I knew right off the bat it wasn’t going to deliver right away like he said it would.
Dick Cheney has never outflanked me on gay marraige and government transparency.
Based on those factors, I am smarter than Obama.

Chris–how many states are there?
June 17th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
Mayor–
50 nifty United States
From 13 original colonies
50 nifty stars on the flag
That billows so beautifully in the breeze.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Well done,Chris!
On an exam in Grade Three,we were required to name each State and its capitol. I still resent the fact that somebody had their goddamn capitol in Pierre!
I mean, WHO in their right mind would name their Capitol “Pierre”?
Even Quebec has more sense!
So I got 49 out of fifty and am still bitter. My psychiatrist says I should just let it go.
BUT, “Pierre!?
Christ, give me strength.
