2/30 – Haiku. .. “Time for a Change”
Uneducated
Youth. / Casting votes seeking change
WE ARE STILL WAITING
Side note to this Haiku:
Our country rushed to the polls and in 2009 was sworn into office. Since then he has done nothing less but prove he is like the rest… Empty promises and back tracking his statements. Some say he has hit the ground running. But what elected official doesn’t have to prove themselves?..
Mr. Obama … How can we trust you when you back track your comments..?
Here is a look at some of Obama’s assertions in his address to the nation Monday, and how they compare with the facts:
___
OBAMA: “Our most effective alliance, NATO, has taken command of the enforcement of the arms embargo and no-fly zone. … Going forward, the lead in enforcing the no-fly zone and protecting civilians on the ground will transition to our allies and partners, and I am fully confident that our coalition will keep the pressure on Gadhafi’s remaining forces. In that effort, the United States will play a supporting role.”
THE FACTS: As by far the pre-eminent player in NATO, and a nation historically reluctant to put its forces under operational foreign command, the United States will not be taking a back seat in the campaign even as its profile diminishes for public consumption.
