In November of 1999, 5-year-old Elian Gonzalez arrived in America, after being rescued, floating in the Gulf of Mexico, escaping with his mother from Castro’s Cuba.  In April of 2000, that freedom was taken away from him by President Bill “Bubba” Clinton and Janet (I’m not going to go there) Reno, at the request of his father, still a peon (but probably given a government position for doing this) in Castro’s Cuba.  The picture you see here is Elian today.   After ten years of brainwashing, he is a proud Communist youth.

Decisions made by Presidents always have consequences.  Sometimes they’re good.  A lot of times they are not very good.  The decisions Presidents make literally affect not just the United States of America, but the whole world.  Sometimes the decision can have an immediate effect and sometimes the consequences to their decision has a delayed, but devastating effect on America’s future.

Today,  Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) will announce that he’s going to limit the scope of nuclear retaliation against enemies of America.  Only if you’re a really naughty country, like Iran, will our retaliation be nuclear.  His announcement proceeds next week’s non-proliferation summit with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Prague where they will sign a new U.S. treaty with Russia that calls for cutting the two countries’ nuclear arsenals by almost a third.   According to Scooter Obama in an interview yesterday with the NY times:  

We are going to want to make sure that we can continue to move towards less emphasis on nuclear weapons.   

Obama is also hosting a Washington summit on nuclear non- proliferation next week.  On top of that, Scooter has announced that he wants to get rid of all nuclear weapons within 10 years.  Now, doesn’t that make everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Whatever happened to Trust, But Verify? I have shown you the example of these two Presidential decisions to make a point.  It is important to have mature, logical, reality-based, patriotic President in the White House.  The first decision cost a young boy his freedom.  This decision may very well cost Americans our lives.
