In listening and watching this speech I wanted to give my analysis.
At about 4 Minutes he starts to talk about Germany and Proclaims:
The size of our forces was no match for the much larger Soviet Army. And yet retreat would have allowed Communism to march across Europe. Where the last war had ended, another World War could have easily begun. All that stood in the way was Berlin.
No one else sees the Irony of this statement?
The very man who is part of a party and an ideology that believes that the path to victory is through defeat and retreating.
At about 5 Minutes he continues to talk of Freedom.
Another bit of Irony since Obamas vision of freedom is one that removes the 2nd amendment from the people. That freedom is put in place for the individual against the possibly tyranny of the govt. The man speaks of freedom yet his goal is to create a large role for govt and govt programs then ever before.
At about 7 minutes he talks about the Berlin Wall.
The funniest thing about this portion of the speech is that at the time that the wall fell down, it was not a moment to be proud of the US for Obama’s wife. Nope not at all. Not till recently has she been proud of this nation and its efforts.
At 8 minutes he talks about global warming. Damn Boston with their industrial section. They are melting the polar ice caps! But he said something about droughts in Kansas. Kansas has had some of the wettest times in decades.
At 9 minutes he talks about Nuclear Weapons, yet by his own admission he would negotiate with terrorist organization and nations like Iran without precondition. Its not till recently that this position has been massaged differently in the MSM, to make people believe that it has always been his position.
So I am guessing at about 9:10 that we are going to be going into Darfur to stop that Civil War. Hmmmm, I thought we cannot go into Civil War and solve it militarily?
At about 9:45 he talks about more terrorists threats, yet many in his own party, the liberal wing which really is the base, do not believe these people to be massive threats as he states here. Sounds like more platitudes to me. Empty rhetoric and such. Hell a leader in his party and presidential candidate just months ago called Terrorism a Bump Sticker slogan. A man whom I believe will be the AG of the nation should Obama win.
At about 11:30 he talks about more Unity with the European nations. So which way is the unity going to swing? More towards the socialist tendencies of European nations?
At about 15 minutes, aside from my urge to sing the song “Give peace a Chance” I noticed that he again talks about terrorism and extremists terrorists. Oddly enough it was recently stated by a Judge in England that Shiite law can coexist with Modern British law. Is this the sort of unity that he speaks of?
At 16 minutes he again talks about Afghanistan and the terrorists in Afghanistan, but again he refuses to acknowledge the terrorists that are in Iraq, the ones that caused the sectarian split and amplified it. The ones that are being beaten back by Iraqi and US forces coming together in what has been termed as ‘the surge’ and the success that has come from that endeavor.
Fascinating how all that he is stating for Afghanistan cannot be said for Iraq for his supporters. Absolutely stunning really.
Also in the video, CBS missed the dude with the American Flag that was upside down (18:05 minutes)
18:45 he talks about:
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many. Together, we must forge trade that truly rewards the work that creates wealth, with meaningful protections for our people and our planet. This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all.
Which translation means. We better hang on for the new flood of Wealth Redistribution, which has shown time and time again never works, and never accomplishes the goals which they set out to achieve.
What Obama fails to grasp here is that the growth will not be possible if your goal is to increase the taxation on corporations, since what they will do is seek other locations that will be more receptive to less taxation.
20 minutes he talks about Iraq:
And despite past differences, this is the moment when the world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close.
Had it been up to Obama, we would not have had the surge to train the Iraqi forces to be able to take responsibility for their government. We would not have the stability that has come about to give breathing room for the political parties of Iraq to talk without a bomb going off outside.
That is the ridiculousness of Obama’s speech and his rhetoric. That even when wrong, he can’t seem to admit it, despite the overwhelming facts to the contrary staring at him in his face.
LOL I just realized he is wearing a Lapel pin. Where are the supporters now of him not wearing one? Good stuff.
23 minutes he talks about
Will we welcome immigrants from different lands
Just as a note, we do, just that they NEED TO follow the rule of law that he spoke about in that same little breath. Allowing a nation to be overrun with people that laugh in the face of the rule law isn’t the sort of immigrants that I want nor that people should accept into this nation.
Whoa Whoa… 24 Minutes in:
indeed, every language is spoken in our country
Just 2 weeks ago Obama was saying that all we can say in France was Merci Boucoup. WTF?
Lots of Platitudes and Lots of Ideology….
All that was needed from this video was the “Kumbaya” song.
