Obama and foriegn polocy
After doing several in depth researches online trying to find some sort of background on the senator. there just is none. The only real thing one can locate is a few quotes he fired off towards Hillary Clinton on experiance.
‘‘I spent four years living overseas when I was a child living in Southeast Asia,’’ said Obama, who was born in Hawaii and spent four years in Indonesia. Then back to Hawaii and the most prestigance private school in that state.
‘‘A lot of my knowledge about foreign affairs is not what I just studied in school. It’s actually having the knowledge of how ordinary people in these other countries live.’’
Obama contrasted that with tightly controlled congressional trips overseas.
‘‘You get picked up at the airport by a state convoy and a security detail. They drive you over to the ambassador’s house and you get lunch. Then you go take a tour of some factory or some school. Children do a native dance.’’
Obama said foreign policy decisions are rooted in an understanding of foreign cultures, and he argued he has a much keener perception than his rivals. But no credentials to justify his claim of perception. No where in his back ground does he prove he has had anything other then the limo pick up and special dinners himself.
‘‘It’s very hard for you to make good foreign policy decisions. Foreign policy is all about judgment,’’ said Obama. ‘‘It’s understanding what the world looks like from the outside.’’
If this is his claim to foriegn polocy then I am WAY MORE qualified then he. Spending 5 years in the orient and one in the middle east. I have a much better understanding of foriegn culutres and the way people live then Obama does. Visiting 43 other nations, only one of which is first world. I spent my time there as an adult, not in the protected enviorment of private religous schools either. But mingleing with the average citizen of the countries I visited.
Barack takes a swipe at Hillary and her state sponsered trips that like any elected official gets. The red carpet treatment and the p.r scene. Saying that the little culture that is provided shows nothing of the true state of the country visited. Of which I find puzzeling. He decrys a visit to the Ambasadors home not informative. Does this mean he agrees that Ambassadorships are nothing more then political paybacks to unqualified people. If an Ambassador does not know what is going on in the country he is representing the United State in then he has no purpose of being there.
Well I ask then in his adult life where has he gone that he was not given the Sean Penn treatment of red carpet? Just what does he really know about these countries that is not biased from his relatives and living there. Or for that matter is not biased from his religous upbringing he denies. Any one else recall the flap over his wearing of traditional costumes in Kenya? Does this not smack of the children danceing and not representing what is accuring there?
Obama lives in the liberal reality of faslehoods that thinks by sitting down and talking to those who will show two faces to this country he will get a fair discussion on international problems. This is like sitting down with the school yard bully, giving them your milk and cookies then expecting him not to hit you the next day and taking your milk and cookies.
A nice thought in a dream world but not practical.
Obama has no experiance in foriegn polocy. As a matter of fact he lacks experiance all the way around. Not even finishing out his first term as a Senator he expects to take control of the Country and set the tone for world polocy and reason.
Bottom line .... Barack is a joke.
