Webloggin » Obama’s Troubling Foreign Policy Record

Let me wet your appetite by saying that Barack Obama is for "Unilateral nuclear disarmament for Israel". Now that I have your attention, inquiring minds are changing their opinion of Barack Obama as more information surfaces. Ed Lasky in the American Thinker writes, "… in one area of foreign policy that concerns millions of Americans, he does have a record and it is a particularly troubling one. … One seemingly consistent them running throughout Barack Obama’s career is his comfort with aligning himself with people who are anti-Israel advocates."

For all supporters of the America-Israel relationship there is enough information beyond the glare of the klieg lights to give one pause. In contrast to his canned speeches filled with "poetry" and uplifting aphorisms and delivered in a commanding way, behind the campaign façade lies a disquieting pattern of behavior.

Obama has replaced him with high profile white ministers who do not preach the racial exclusiveness and racial superiority that is a hallmark of Jeremiah Wright; however, they seem to share an anti-Israel bias.

Fortunately, bloggers and others have started to note the views of Pastor Wright (which also include an unhealthy does of racial exclusiveness, in Tucker Carlson’s words) and . Finally these views may be crossing over to major media outlets. Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen published a recent column that criticized the award to Louis Farrakhan of the Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award — an award that supposedly was granted to a man who "truly epitomized greatness". As Cohen noted, Farrakhan is not only a race-baiter but also an anti-Semite and a promoter of anti-Semitism. He falsely accused Jews of cooperating with Hitler and helping him create the Third Reich, has slandered Jews by his insistence that Jews have played an inordinate role in victimizing African-Americans (he has also called Jews "bloodsuckers"). Cohen questions why Obama has stayed steadfast in his allegiance to Pastor Wright over the years [snip]

The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism (continue reading)

Mr. Lasky states that early on Obama sought out George Soros as a ’sugar daddy’. That should tell us all something. If Obama should be elected president, the people he chooses to be his advisors will be very telling:

Every Presidential candidate assembles a foreign policy team of advisers. A glimpse into the makeup of Obama’s team has leaked to the media.

Martin Peretz of The New Republic — a supporter of Obama and of Israel — had this to say about Obama’s Foreign Policy team:

"I have my qualms, as you may know, about Barack Obama, and most especially about what his foreign policy might be. If elected (and actually before he were to be elected), the first decision he would have to make would be who would represent him in the transition to power from early November to January 20. And, frankly, I get the shudders since he has indicated that, among others, they would be Zbigniew Bzrezinski (I don’t know much about his son, listed as Mark, but I can guess), Anthony Lake, Susan Rice and Robert O. Malley."

Lake and Brzezenski both earned their spurs in the Carter Administration. Obama also worked diligently to derail John Bolton’s career. Mr. Bolton happens to be a strong supporter of Israel. Mr. Lasky also goes into Obama’s congressional support, Obama’s public remarks and speeches

Mr. Lasky’s article is long, but it is full of facts and references. I suggest you go read it from the beginning here.

Other areas of Obama’s life and beliefs have raised concerns for many. Rastaman lists a few:

Still, his Muslim heritage isn’t the red flag. It’s his Afrocentric church, which preaches black socialism and black nativism, and his family ties to an African tribe that’s fanning the flames of Marxism and militant Islam in a country once considered strongly democratic and a friend of the U.S.

“I believe in the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change,” Obama has asserted. If a President Obama’s foreign and domestic policies are anything like the Afrocentric doctrine he’s pledged to uphold, Americans will pay a hefty price, including those among the growing black middle class.

Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a “close personal friendship” with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior. When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi. Obama’s bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s “stooge.” (To The Point News, Atlas Shrugs)

There are many who don’t want this information to be shared, but facts are facts.
