It’s time now, after many months of watching the Obama disaster before our eyes, to define what looks like “The Obama Doctrine”, his ideological belief system now put into practice.
First off, Barack Obama frequently downplays American Sovereignty. We have:
On the surface these treaties with an international flair may seem quite admirable on the surface but digging deeper into Obama purpose always reveals more. These treaties leak into American domestic affairs and not on the positive side.
Recently submitting its “Report of the United States of America” to the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), whose dubious members include Cuba, Russia and Saudi Arabia, not necessarily stalwarts of human rights discipline.
In the report the Obama administration attacks Arizona immigration law which attempts to provide law enforcement where the Federal government is failing. This is not a human rights issue but the administration woefully portrays the Arizona law as an infringement on human rights. In the end, this attack upon Arizona is an attack upon American Sovereignty. Certainly, enforcing immigration law and border security upholds the US Constitution and is not violating anyone’s human rights.
Donald Rumsfeld used the term “light footprint” when the US invaded Iraq to liberate its people. Barack Obama wishes to reduce American power to “Soft-Power” to demonstrate to the world that American exceptionalism is nothing and we are all equals on God’s green earth. Upon taking office in 2009 Obama said “[if] countries like Iran are willing to unclench their fist, they will find an extended hand from us.”
However, French President Nicholas Sarkozy has a different view of the world:
“We live in the real world, not a virtual one… President Obama himself has said that he dreams of a world without nuclear weapons. Before our very eyes, two countries are doing exactly the opposite at this very moment… I support America’s ‘extended hand.’ But what have these proposals for dialogue produced for the international community? Nothing but more enriched uranium and more centrifuges.“
Some like the Taliban, al-Qaeda and Iranian tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cannot be persuaded to lay down their arms under a doctrine of soft power and they prove that each day.
Further, Barack Obama wishes to Restrain American power by reducing its nuclear armaments. Sadly for Obama he states:
“Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.“
Obama actions speak louder than words. Funding has been cut for the F-22 fighter jet and the administration is now looking into terminating the development of the next generation Navy Cruiser with missile defense capabilities.
A strong and vibrant US Military is not only about fighting wars. Setting a perception to the world about American military power provides what Ronald Reagan emphasized – Peace through strength. American security is most reliably assured by having military forces that are fully trained, equipped and ready to deter or defeat the nation’s adversaries. If the world has a perception of American weakness it becomes a destabilizing force across the globe.
How can we forget Obama’s Apology Tour and his Top Ten apologies to the world?
10. Apology for Guantanamo in Washington: “There is also no question that Guantanamo set back the moral authority that is America’s strongest currency in the world. … Rather than keeping us safer, the prison at Guantanamo has weakened American national security. It is a rallying cry for our enemies.”
9. Apology for the Mistakes of the CIA: “So don’t be discouraged by what’s happened in the last few weeks. Don’t be discouraged that we have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.”
8. Apology for U.S. Policy toward the Americas: “Too often, the United States has not pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors. We have been too easily distracted by other priorities, and have failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”
7. Apology before the Turkish Parliament: “The United States is still working through some of our own darker periods in our history. … Our country still struggles with the legacies of slavery and segregation, the past treatment of Native Americans.”
6. Apology for Guantanamo in France: “I don’t believe that there is a contradiction between our security and our values. And when you start sacrificing your values, when you lose yourself, then over the long term that will make you less secure.”
5. Apology for the War on Terror: “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions. … In other words, we went off course.”
4. Apology at the G-20 Summit of World Leaders: “I would like to think that with my election and the early decisions that we’ve made, that you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world.”
3. Apology to the Summit of the Americas: “While the United States has done much to promote peace and prosperity in the hemisphere, we have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms. … So I’m here to launch a new chapter of engagement that will be sustained throughout my administration. The United States will be willing to acknowledge past errors where those errors have been made.”
2. Apology to the Muslim World: “We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”
1. Apology to France and Europe: “Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
Obama has only been able to portray the United States as weak. Jimmy Carter apologized to the world for America’s “excessive fear” of Communism. After Carter spoke the Soviet Union embarked on the invasion of Afghanistan and Iran took American’s hostage.
Woodrow Wilson demonstrated America as weak by proposing an “ethical” foreign policy and a “concert of nations.” America didn’t fend off World War I with Wilson’s weak America stance and we actually took on an isolationist policy during the 1920s and 30s which ultimately led to World War II. We waited to get bombed at Pearl Harbor before entering the war.
Other US Presidents held a different vision for America:
American exceptionalism shows an indispensable nation in the defense of liberty around the world. The Obama Doctrine demonstrates the opposite – nations will look elsewhere for help and our adversaries will see the United States as weak and powerless. The Obama Doctrine creates a more dangerous world by emboldening our enemies. Indeed!

The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants who have no serious criminal records, according to several sources familiar with the efforts.
Isn’t breaking and entering a serious crime?
Culling the immigration court system dockets of noncriminals started in earnest in Houston about a month ago and has stunned local immigration attorneys, who have reported coming to court anticipating clients’ deportations only to learn that the government was dismissing their cases.
Richard Rocha, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, said Tuesday that the review is part of the agency’s broader, nationwide strategy to prioritize the deportations of illegal immigrants who pose a threat to national security and public safety.
So if you break the law, aren’t a US citizen you get “prioritized.” What happened to rule of law?
Critics assailed the plan as another sign that the Obama administration is trying to create a kind of backdoor “amnesty” program.
“They’ve made clear that they have no interest in enforcing immigration laws against people who are not convicted criminals,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for strict controls.
“This situation is just another side effect of President Obama’s failure to deliver on his campaign promise to make immigration reform a priority in his first year,” said U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “Until he does, state and local authorities are left with no choice but to pick up the slack for prosecuting and detaining criminal aliens.”
But Senator Cornyn, Barack Obama is applying his own brand of immigration reform. Obama, like the illegal aliens, have no regard for rule of law or the United States Constitution. Indeed!

The headline rings out – Arizona Sheriff: ‘Our Own Government Has Become Our Enemy’ – but this is not Sheriff Arpaio of Maricopa County, it’s Pinal County (AZ) Sheriff Paul Babeu and he is mad.
“What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then behind that they drag us into court with the ACLU,” Babeu said.
Sheriff Babeu is referring to the lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Department of Justice challenging the state’s new immigration law.
“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” Babeu said in a telephone interview with CNSNews.com. “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.”
“Our own government has become our enemy and is taking us to court at a time when we need help,” Babeu said.
“If the president would do his job and secure the border; send 3,000 armed soldiers to the Arizona border and stop the illegal immigration and the drug smuggling and the violence, we wouldn’t even be in this position and where we’re forced to take matters into our own hands,” Babeu said.
Sheriff Babeu and Arpaio aren’t the only Arizona law enforcement officials angry. Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County (AZ) chimed in:
“The bigger picture is while what’s going on in Arizona is critically important, what comes out of this and happens here will affect our entire nation in terms of our ability to protect our citizenry from a very serious homeland security threat,” Dever said.
“People who are coming across the border in my county aren’t staying there. They’re going everywhere USA and a lot of them are bad, bad people.”
While the country is focused on Arizona the their lawsuit with the Obama administration other states are waiting to implement similar measure like the Arizona law to protect their borders. Most American’s don’t realize the national implications of having porous, unprotected borders and how crime is epidemic in cities and towns due to the increase in illegal immigrants.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, about 250,000 people were detained in Arizona in the last 12 months for being in the country illegally. CBP also reports that 17 percent of those detained already have a criminal record in the United States.
“For us, this is a public safety matter and a national security threat,” Babeu said.
Guns, drugs, killings and a host of other crimes besides the fact the first crime is illegal entry into the United States. The Obama administration sees votes and increased power. The number one community organizer will use any method to increase his power and destroy America as we know it.
Enemy number one – Barack Obama and his Marxist ilk. Indeed!

So you think immigration reform is dead for now? Think Again.
According to an internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services memo going the rounds of Capitol Hill and obtained by National Review, the agency is considering ways in which it could enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action” — that is, without the consent of the American people through a vote in Congress.
“This memorandum offers administrative relief options to . . . reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization,” it reads.
Also:
“In the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations, exercising discretion with regard to parole-in-place, deferred action and the issuance of Notices to Appear (NTA), and adopting significant process improvements.”
National Review Online offers this: (Emphasis LCs)
Many of the memo’s proposals are technical and fine-grained; for example, it suggests clarifying the immigration laws for “unaccompanied minors, and for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, and other criminal activities.” It also proposes extending the “grace period” H-1B visa holders have between the expiration of their visa and the date they’re expected to leave the country.
With other ideas, however, USCIS is aiming big. Perhaps the most egregious suggestion is to “Increase the Use of Deferred Action.” “Deferred action,” as the memo defines it, “is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion not to pursue removal from the U.S. of a particular individual for a specific period of time.” For example, after Hurricane Katrina, the government decided not to remove illegal immigrants who’d been affected by the disaster.
The memo claims that there are no limits to USCIS’s ability to use deferred action, but warns that using this power indiscriminately would be “controversial, not to mention expensive.” The memo suggests using deferred action to exempt “particular groups” from removal — such as the illegal-immigrant high-school graduates who would fall under the DREAM Act (a measure that has been shot down repeatedly in Congress). The memo claims that the DREAM Act would cover “an estimated 50,000” individuals, though as many as 65,000 illegal immigrants graduate high school every year in the U.S.
Obama and his Marxist ilk are pulling out all stops beyond fighting the State of Arizona. Rule of the law and the Constitution have no meaning to a government being run by tyrants. Indeed!
