President Obama would be downright SCARY!

I spent a little time checking out Barack Obama’s website today. It should come to no surprise that it;s much like listening to him speak: it sounds good, but lacks substance. I thought I’d just start with foreign policy, Iraq, and Homeland Security. Here is what I found:

Obama’s Plan for Iraq

Bring the troops home immediately.

Tell Iraqi leaders they need to step up, and as we leave the UN will take greater role.

Give Iraq $2 billion in humanitarian aid.

Obama’s Plan to Protect the Homeland

Have the Federal Government protect Chemical Plants.

Keep better track of our spent Nuclear Fuel.

Mandatory planning for evacuating people with special needs in case of a catastrophe.

Reunite Families after Emergencies

Federal Oversight of the nation’s drinking water.

Protect the public from Radioactive Releases.

Obama’s Foreign Policy

Meet with the leaders of all nations, friend and foe, and show America’s willingness to “come to the table.”

Create a Jewish state in Israel and a Palestinian state.

Fight global Poverty.

Strengthen NATO and their powers.

Increase the size of US ground forces by adding 65,000 soldiers to the Army and 27,000 Marines.

Work towards a nuclear free world.

Create a National Declassification Center.

I have to admit I went to the Obama website knowing it would be light of particulars, but I was shocked when I saw how weak he was on the most important issues facing our country. As I read it, a President Obama would rather deploy troops to guard a local Iowa fertilizer plant than deploy troops to fight the War on Terror. His view of Homeland Security is more about natural disaster preparedness than preventing an attack on America.

I think this is exactly what you get when an unqualified, inexperienced liberal gets it in his head that he should be the President of the United States. In all seriousness, would you feel good about sending a delegation of State Senators from Iowa to Iran to negotiate with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? That’s exactly what it’s going to be like if Obama is elected President.

How can Obama provide hope for America when it is clear that he has no intention of defending her?
