![]() Georgetown University professor, political analyst and author of 17 books. His most recent is The Black Presidency: Barack Obama and the Politics of Race in America. This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. Friday, the Congressional Black Caucus held a press conference to address Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump saying today he does believe President Obama was born in the United States. Several members took turns. As the nation prepares to ring in the New Year, President Barack Obama is preparing a colossal new executive action that could print-up work permits for a huge number of foreign white-collar graduates every year, above and. On December 21, 1997, Barack Obama wrote a short review of William Ayers’ book A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court, which had recently been published by Beacon Press. Here’s a photo of how the review. How can you afford any more years of Obama & his Democrats? How are you better off than before Obama & his Democrats? How can you trust Obama & his Democrats? Do you feel safer than before Obama & his Democrats? President Barack Obama once declared that an influx of illegal immigrants will harm “the wages of blue-collar Americans” and “put strains on an already overburdened safety net.” “ Tracking the Obama Presidency (2. ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT FEATURES: TRACKING THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY (2. Budget Cuts for the Military. In early January 2. Obama administration unveiled its 2. Defense budget, which called for cuts of more than $1. Some $1. 00 million of those cuts were slated to be implemented immediately, and the other $7. ![]() Obama's Response to the Egyptian Riots: In late January 2. Egypt—disturbances ostensibly triggered by public discontent over Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's autocratic rule, governmental corruption, and the country's widespread poverty. There was much speculation that if Mubarak were to be forced out of office, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was likely to fill the power vacuum. Among the noteworthy facts about MB were the following: MB - - a supporter of Hamas, al Qaeda, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad - - had made it explicitly clear that it favored the dissolution of the 1. Egypt and Israel. ![]() MB's Supreme Guide, Muhammad Mahdi 'Akef, had stated that his organization has never recognized Israel and never will, adding: “Our lexicon does not include anything called 'Israel.' The . If they want to live among us, it will have to be as . If they want their own state, our only option is to object.”Muhammad Ghannem, a leading member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, told the Iranian news network Al- Alam that “the people . Every single word out of the president’s mouth, every single move he’s made has had the effect of stabbing Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in the back, of opening the door to Islamist radicals taking another step on their way to restoring an unholy caliphate in that region. The historical precedent for Obama’s actions can be found in those of another weak liberal Democratic president, Jimmy Carter. In the late 1. 97. ![]() Shah of Iran ruled that country in much the same way Hosni Mubarak has ruled Egypt, through maintaining tight control over the population with a strong military and the support of the United States. When Carter withdrew his support of the Shah in the name of “human rights,” he enabled the Ayatollah Khomeini to return to Iran from his exile in Paris and assume leadership of the country. It looks very much like Obama is following directly in Carter’s footsteps. The problem is that the situation is much more serious today than it was 3. Blame that on Jimmy Carter. Carter’s turning over Iran to the mullahs has allowed Islamist radicalism to establish a soon- to- be- nuclear outpost in the region. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is set to expand his influence and power by abetting the overthrow of nations such as Egypt that retain ties with and receive support from the west. There is no doubt that Ahmadinejad sees himself as the leader of an Islamist union that wields power over the entire Middle East and threatens western civilization as well.. What is becoming clear is that, like Jimmy Carter, Obama is on the side of Islamist radicals. When Iranian students staged an uprising after the rigged elections in that country insured that the totalitarian government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would remain in power, Obama was on vacation in Hawaii and treated the Iranian insurrection as nothing more than a nuisance. Instead of intervening and speaking out strongly in favor of the students and the overthrow of a truly heinous enemy regime, Obama declined to take sides, saying “it is up to Iranians to decide who Iran’s leaders will be.” By not speaking out and taking the lead in denouncing the Iranian regime, Obama revealed where his sympathies lay. Only a few weeks earlier, Obama had delivered one of his more insipid speeches. Speaking in Cairo, he had called for America to end torture and close the prison at Guantanamo Bay in order to reclaim its “moral authority.”His insistence that “the people of Iran” should decide who their leaders are simply ignored the fact that the Ahmadinejad regime had rigged the election. The point was that there was no way the Iranian people could decide who their leaders would be. By saying what he did, Obama came down solidly on the side of the Muslim dictatorship and rigging elections in order to achieve it. Less than two years later, the Cairo insurrection against one of America’s staunchest allies, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, provided Obama with another chance to speak out against Islamist radicalism. Instead he’s again waffled and backtracked and stabbed Mubarak in the back by demanding that the Egyptian president step down immediately. Nobody is saying that Mubarak’s government is a paragon of democratic rule. What Mubarack has done, though, is to provide a stabilizing influence in the Middle East. He’s the closest thing to a friend that Israel has in the region. He’s helped Israel secure its borders, and he’s kept the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood from gaining power in Egypt by outlawing them. We get back much more in increased Middle East security through the sale of military equipment to our ally than can be measured simply in dollars. After watching silently for several days as demonstrators overran the streets of Cairo, Obama did what he would not do in the Iranian situation: He said that Mubarak must step down immediately in order to pave the way for “free” elections. But as it turns out, it’s not quite as simple as that. Obama’s words to the contrary, it’s highly likely that our president had a strong hand in bringing about the riots in Egypt. Beyond that, he was aided and abetted by the very man who engineered the financial meltdown that enabled Obama to get elected in the first place: George Soros. The U. S. They received the information from a young dissident who. Ambassador to Egypt Margaret Scobey was aware of the plans of the Mubarak opposition group. Leaked documents also show that while the United States publicly supported the Mubarak government, U. S. Embassy officials continued to communicate with the activist in question throughout 2. The problem is that in order for a country to hold “free” elections, it must have a democratic infrastructure, a democratic culture. In the most important sense, there is no Middle Eastern country that has this, except for Israel. Even our attempts to establish democracy in Iraq have done little to combat the influence of Iran or to insure that democracy will survive after we leave. When you try to establish a democracy in the Middle East, Islamist radicals move in and take over. It’s exactly what happened in Gaza. In the elections of 2. Hamas was the big winner over Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah Party. By 2. 00. 7, Hamas had drive the Fatah Party out of Gaza. And when Abbas, still the nominal president of Gaza, called for elections in January of 2. Hamas said that anyone who participated in the election would be “dealt with by the . It means that a radical terrorist organization will move in, intimidate the population, and make sure that its candidates are elected. It’s exactly what is likely to happen in Egypt, even if an “orderly” transition to free elections takes place. First, it’s very likely that even if the uprising against Mubarak in Egypt began spontaneously, it’s no longer spontaneous. Ahmadinejad applauded the insurrection loudly when it began, and there is no doubt that his agents are involved on the street and in the backrooms where strategies against Mubarak are being plotted. To this point: One of the key figures in opposition to Mubarak is Mohamed El. Baradei. He’s the former International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director. In that capacity, he whitewashed Iran’s nuclear energy program, essentially saying that Ahmadinehad was not pursuing nuclear weapons when it’s clear to everyone that he is. On January 1. 8, before the uprising in Egypt had begun, Al. Baradei, in what was a veiled call to action for Islamists, warned that a “Tunisia- style explosion” could occur in Egypt. Al. Baradei has emerged as a key figure in a “shadow parliament” that has formed in Egypt. The shadow parliament consists of opposition leaders who are trying to develop plans for a transition to a new regime through “free and democratic” elections. Included in the group are representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood, the radical terrorist group responsible for the assassination of Egyptian Premier Anwar Sadat in 1. Islamist terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda. The Muslim Brotherhood seeks nothing less than a government based on Islamist principles, including the implementation of Shariah Law and waging jihad against the west. Al. Baradei, given the fact that he looked the other way when inspecting Iran’s nuclear facilities, is very likely a puppet of the Iranian regime. In April, 2. 00. 9, Al. Baradei told the press that “more U. S. In fact, he had been waiting in the wings for quite a while.. This week, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that President Obama’s call for an immediate transition from the government of President Hosni Mubarak has incited violence. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki said “What foreign parties are saying about . He added that such calls “inflame the internal situation in Egypt.”Tunisia’s government was dissolved and its president, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, fled the country after protests against joblessness and corruption overwhelmed Tunisia’s security forces in a situation that foreshadowed what is happening in Egypt. Jordan’s King Abdullah II has also dissolved the parliament in his country in response to protests similar, although not as violent and widespread, to those in Egypt and Tunisia. Abdullah has also promised free elections within six months. The situation is ripe for Islamist terrorist organizations to move in and take control of the Middle East. And Obama is their enabler. He is the epitome of a weak liberal president. He mouths utopian leftist platitudes while the governments of our allies in the Middle East are challenged. Obama actually said the Muslim Brotherhood “must reject violence and recognize democratic goals” in one interview.
