Obama Making Waves In The Future

Obama expects to be president for next eight to ten years as he tells it in and interview with CBS's Lara Logan.

"the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.

"And it's important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are."

Now this quote is quite astounding for its arrogance and presumptiousness in that he assumes he will be elected and that the other leaders will still be in power. What Obama says on his trip abroad will have wide ramifications if he continues to make the kind of gaffes he has continued to make. Jake Tapper has compared it to the butterfly effect of chaos theory.

The butterfly effect was introduced in Ray Bradbury's 1952 short story "A Sound of Thunder," when time travelers change the world beyond measure by accidentally killing a butterfly in prehistoric times.

Similarly, international diplomacy can be impacted by careless or glibly-chosen words. (Cue President Bush's "crusade" remarks.)

Some Democratic allies of Obama's are -- off the record -- concerned that the senator too often doesn't consider the potential butterfly effect of his diction.

Take his support for an "undivided Jerusalem," or his remarks about women seeking abortions when they're "feeling blue," which upset feminist leaders.

This is also on display as he has chosen to speak at the "Victory" monument in Germany which is a symbol of Prussian aggression and victory over its neighbors and where Hitler held massive rallies. Cap'n Ed has more on this and had this to say.

Hitler didn’t just move the monument to its more central location. He had a taller column built for it as well, to emphasize its message of German military domination over Europe. He saw it as a message to Germans of their destiny — as well as to other Europeans as their destiny as well. It was never meant as a symbol of peaceful, multicultural co-existence.
Team Obama has outdone themselves on symbolism with this choice. They’ve managed to make their hosts uncomfortable for a second time with their choice of rallying point, and perhaps more so this time. If one wanted to talk peace, what worse location could one choose than Adolf Hitler’s favorite monument to militaristic domination? One has to wonder how France, Denmark, and Austria will feel about Obama rallying German masses under the Siegessäule. Deja vu?

Obama shows himself once again to be a naive arrogant fool and further demonstrates why he is not qualified to be POTUS. I can empathize with Hillary's supporters in that even though I disagree with her policies she would never be that stupid or show that level of supreme arrogance.
