Obama's inglorious
departure
In the conclusion of the article "America
Needs Change" (1), which I wrote on the eve of the 2008 presidential
election and in which I predicted the victory of Barack Obama, were the
following words:
“The future president of America will
traditionally get the problem of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and its solution
primarily depends on how ready the new owner of the White House is to fight the
Jewish lobby of the American Congress. Of the two candidates, in my opinion,
Barack Obama is more suitable for this task, as a young and ambitious
politician, less bound by any obligations.
On the other hand, John McCain understands
better what today's Russia is, whose imperial policy should not close one's
eyes and condescendingly treat the curtailment of the institutions of
Democracy. However, it should be noted that an experienced Joseph Biden as vice
president may well complement the political baggage of a Democratic candidate.”
I was not mistaken, the American President
really intended to end the Palestinian problem and bring peace to the Jewish
and Palestinian peoples. Thus, in his famous Cairo speech, Obama expressed his
vision of the political situation in the Middle East, and the first of all
American presidents expressed support for the Palestinian people in their
desire to achieve freedom, saying: "The United States will not turn its
back on the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to live in dignity
in their own state" .
Unfortunately, I must admit that my hopes were
not justified, Obama, in his good intentions, suffered a complete fiasco (2),
and further on proclaiming the slogan “two states for two peoples”, he did not
take any effective steps for all 8 years of his stay in the White House. He did
not have the courage to fight the Jewish lobby in Congress (3), and the fact
that even before the departure of Barack Obama from the presidency, America
abstained, yes, just abstained, in the vote in the Security Council on a
resolution condemning the settlement Israeli policy in the occupied territories
highlights Obama's cowardice. How can one not recall the words of Yeshua
Ha-Nozri:
one of the worst vices"
M. Bulgakov "The Master and
Margarita"
Clever, but cowardly, and therefore from his
mind there was no use. He was given the Nobel only because he outlined the
right path, but, alas, he did not make effective efforts to achieve the goal,
the words remained words.
During the long two terms of his presidency,
Barack Obama did not understand what Russia is and who Putin is. He missed
every chance to stop the revanchist Putin in his aggressive plans to revive the
empire within its former borders. Of course, a dictator, and Putin is
undoubtedly one, has an advantage both in the idea of the decisions he makes and in the speed of their execution.
However, Obama, instead of actually helping Ukraine with the supply of weapons,
limited himself to timid sanctions against Russia. Yes, Barack Obama is far
from Ronald Reagan, who stopped Moscow's military expansion. Reagan went beyond
words, boldly calling the Soviet Union the Evil Empire, he organized military
support, providing weapons to the freedom-loving people of Afghanistan. It was
thanks to Reagan that the Evil Empire collapsed, it’s a pity that all
subsequent presidents of America, including Barack Obama, misunderstood, here I
repeat, what Russia is and who Putin is (4.5) reduced Reagan’s achievements to
zero. Outgoing President Barack Obama spoke beautifully and correctly, but ...
After all, people are judged by their deeds,
not their words. I think Obama will have a serious conversation with his
conscience in the future.
1. America needs change. http://www.proza.ru/2008/11/03/621
3. Obama, restore America's conscience and save Israel.
4.The state-forming people and its Fuhrer, or
Ukraine and further downthe list.
5. Great Russian chauvinism and Putin is his
Fuhrer.
