“Whether we like it or not we remain a dominant military superpower”

Obama’s carefully choreographed photo op that he called a “nuclear summit” yielded no real gains and quite a few embarrassing gaffes by the manchild in the White House, including bowing to the Chinese premier, again. But the biggest one was a Freudian slip that was missed by the media and only now being analyzed because it reveals that Obama truly wants to reduce the power and strength of America.

At the end, Obama took questions from the assembled media. While answering a question about America’s obligations as a superpower and military leader to intervene in the Middle East, he let this little gem slip out.

“It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them,” Obama said. “And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure.”

Okay, let’s take a look at this. An Obama asshat would say that Obama meant that whether we liked it or not, we would get pulled into a conflict that would result in bad things happening to us. The problem is, that’s not what he said. If that were the case, it would sound like this

“It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another, whether we like it or not, we get pulled into them.”

Or you could remove it altogether and the sentence is still clear.

“It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them.”

But that’s not what he said. What he did was add a parenthetical statement that stands all by itself into another line of thought. Here’s a better way to see it.

“It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts (because whether we like it or not we remain a dominant military superpower) and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them.”

In other words, our Commander in Chief is not too thrilled with the idea that America possesses the greatest military in the world.

Even Sen. John McCain, a man who is hardly a right-wing nutjob, caught on to Obama’s lust for weakness and had something to say about it.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., slammed the leader of the free world Thursday, calling the remark a “direct contradiction to everything America believes in.”

“That’s one of the more incredible statements I’ve ever heard a president of the United States make in modern times,” McCain, a Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, told Fox News. “We are the dominant superpower, and we’re the greatest force for good in the history of this country, and I thank God every day that we are a dominant superpower.”

While I don’t agree with McCain on a lot of things, he’s right on the nose on this one. Obama is a small man who is uncomfortable with the real role of President and leader of the free world, and he seeks to make that role as small as he is.
