100 Days Into the Obama Administration

The United States is now a 100+ days into the Obama administration and is the country is worse off than before his presidency.

The reasons why are, first, he has undermined American security. What foreign policy accomplishment do you remember from the first 100 days: not one. Just the reverse. He began with his apology tour. The U.S. president always speaks to many audiences and blaming his predecessor smacks of petulance and weakness. Obama does not get a time out and he does not get to reset the relationship with key countries. Aggressors are heartened by his words and America’s friends sense weakness. Expect Japan and Saudi Arabia to move toward proliferation. New NATO allies rightly understand that Obama is abandoning them in favor of the chimera of improving relations with Russia. The Russians understand and respect strength, for which there is no substitute. They are not going to find it in this administration.

Second, over 100 days in it is clear that the Obama administration is actively moving the United States toward socialism in deed, if not in word. The administration is chock full of cultural Marxists. They understand the need to move slowly, over generational time. They prefer to focus on the young as they are easier to shape and since they were born after the Cold War they have little aversion to socialism. Bailouts to Democratic constituencies, sharing the wealth, attacking and suppressing the opposition, normalizing socialism by casting it in a good light, blaming traditional American values and capitalism are all part of the effort to move the United States toward socialism. In other words, an attempt for the Marxists, hidden behind the mask of the Democratic Party, to seize power in the United States.

About 1,300 days to go. Now is the time for Republicans to re-connect with American political principles. Republicans hold fast.
