"There is a distinctly Titanic-like feel to the Obama presidency"

The UK Telegraph's Nile Gardiner give us 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown
Here's number 10, and it's a crucial reason why Obama CAN'T lead America:

10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness

Barack Obama has made it clear that he doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism, and has made apologising for his country into an art form. In a speech to the United Nations last September he stated that “no one nation can or should try to dominate another nation. No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed. No balance of power among nations will hold.” It is difficult to see how a US president who holds these views and does not even accept America’s greatness in history can actually lead the world’s only superpower with force and conviction.

There is a distinctly Titanic-like feel to the Obama presidency and it’s not hard to see why. The most left-wing president in modern American history has tried to force a highly interventionist, government-driven agenda that runs counter to the principles of free enterprise, individual freedom, and limited government that have made the United States the greatest power in the world, and the freest nation on earth.

This, combined with weak leadership both at home and abroad against the backdrop of tremendous economic uncertainty in an increasingly dangerous world, has contributed to a spectacular political collapse for a president once thought to be invincible. America at its core remains a deeply conservative nation, which cherishes its traditions and founding principles. President Obama is increasingly out of step with the American people, by advancing policies that undermine the United States as a global power, while undercutting America’s deep-seated love for freedom.
In fact, Obama does not really like America.  But we knew that before the election, didn't we.

He doesn't care much for America, nor does he care much for Americans. By favoring the Mosque near ground zero, its another finger in the eye to Americans and a hand up to those who would destroy us.

I wonder how Michele feels about Sharia Law?
