Obama to American Exceptionalism: DROP DEAD

President Barack Obama is disliked by conservatives not because he is a liberal or a Democrat, but rather because he stands against the very beliefs we uphold dearly. Bill Clinton was not liked by conservatives and we often didn’t agree with his policy decisions, but at the end of the day we knew he was trying his best to uphold American ideals.

Why Barack Obama is so scary is that he doesn’t want to improve America, but rather remake what it is. Pat Buchanan in today’s syndicated column calls Obama the Anti-Reagan and he is correct.

Reagan took a nation divided by four years of the failed Carter presidency coming off of Watergate, and lifted its spirit and ingenuity, reviving an American economy that roared for more than two decades. Obama is taking over a country dejected by a controversial War in Iraq and a struggling economy, but uses language that focuses on America’s sins rather than its triumphs. He also speaks of an economy that is the worst since the Great Depression. Presidents are supposed to inspire confidence in its people, not pessimism. America is great when its people believe it can do anything, not when they think its collapsing. It’s only so long that citizens can hear that America is ordinary before they want to get rid of those saying it is so.

Unfortunately…as Rush Limbaugh stated on Monday’s radio program…this could be Obama’s legacy. The man that told American Exceptionalism to DROP DEAD. The following excerpt from Rush says it all

Barack Obama inherited greatness in a nation. He inherited the birthplace of the individual. He inherited the defender of liberty at home and abroad, the United States of America. He inherited the opportunity to lead a nation of sheer exceptionalism, a nation of equal opportunity, a nation which featured its citizens the right to fail and to try and try and try again. He inherited the financial center and capital of the world. Barack Obama inherited the country that has successfully championed capitalism and widespread prosperity. He inherited a nation which liberated billions of people who lived in oppression. He also inherited great responsibility. He inherited the responsibility to lead this great nation, the world’s lone superpower, a nation oriented toward the good of humanity. He inherited the responsibility to preserve and strengthen the free markets and economies that made this the greatest nation in the history of human civilization. He inherited the responsibility to continue the philosophy and the tradition of a country founded on Judeo-Christian morals, ethics, and principles.

And what has he done with this inheritance? He has run around the world and apologized at every stop he makes for what he considers the sins, the immorality, and the unjust unfairness of the way he perceives the United States of America. He inherited a country that liberates the oppressed, as I said. He inherited the greatest economy in history. He inherited that, nothing more, nothing less, plus the Constitution. There is nothing to apologize for. It is childish, it’s babyish, it is immature, it is unbecoming anyone who holds the office of president of the United States to run around crying like a baby while lying about the mess he inherited, because he didn’t inherit a mess. He inherited years and decades of stewardship from the Oval Office of the greatest nation in history. In his mind, he inherited a flawed social experiment. He has now made the mess that is the United States economy. He is making a mess of United States foreign policy.
