Obama Woos Ron Paul supporters

Lets take a look at this and tell me if it passes the smell test.

Obama: the US can no longer fight the world’s battles

The mighty American military machine that has for so long secured the country’s status as the world’s only superpower will have to be drastically reduced, Barack Obama warned yesterday as he set out a radical but more modest new set of priorities for the Pentagon over the next decade.

After the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that defined the first decade of the 21st century, Mr Obama’s blueprint for the military’s future acknowledged that America will no longer have the resources to conduct two such major operations simultaneously.

Here’s a few problems I have with this “Executive decision”

It’s in an election year of course. One of the reason Ron Paul has been so successful this year is his foreign policy/military intervention policy. Ron Paul was heading UP in the polls and HOW would Obama compete with Paul should he win the nomination?

Ron Paul the visionary of the likes we haven’t seen since Chamberlain (Sarcasm) would pull our troops out of every nation (Stated by Paul many times) So Obama cutting 500K troops and with it that support structure takes Paul’s major “Draw” away.

Ron Paul was getting a lot of crossover support from Obama backers who are tired of war. All of us are TIRED of war. But there’s UNINTENDED consequences going to come to reality very soon.

Bill Clinton ran away from Somalia after the black hawk down incident and it was mentioned by enemy combatants Somalia was a catalyst for 9-11-2001. It gave our enemy hope that we would shudder in fear and allow the 7th century mentality to run wild… It didn’t after 9-11-2001 a lot of ragheads met Allah in hell. Good enough, now it’s time to prepare for the next problem.

Cutting 500K troops from a force that is the ONLY Government run entity that IS successful is ridiculous. Seems to me with the job picture VERY grim 500k more unemployed won’t help the numbers at all.

Here’s another thing folks might not realize: Ron Paul usually has between 13-17% of votes across the nation. During the 2008 election only a very small percentage of that total voted for McCain. The rest voted for Obama. What that means is A GOOD PART of the Paul supporters are severely independent and truly want our nation to return to a strict constitutional rule. FINE, but there’s also an extremely LARGE part of Paul supporters who are extremely LIBERAL in their beliefs and will vote for Obama if Paul is NOT the nominee. Obama just took Paul’s NUCLEAR option off the table by his cutting the US Military.

I’m hearing people complaining that the military’s leadership is not speaking against this. They can’t. They have to the leave this up to the American people.

I also want people to know a few things. I think there are SOME areas our military can be cut/restructured and IMPROVED. But a BLANKET cut, while maintaining or EXPANDING WELFARE and ENTITLEMENTS is the definition of stupidity and if we as Americans re-elect Barack Hussien Obama to 4 more years, this particular cut will be MINOR in comparison and we deserve whatever America looks like in 2015. It’s going to be unrecognizable to many in the world.

Ron Paul’s supporters love to tout the “Military support” he gets from active service members. Paul’s policy has just been implemented. Let’s see in a few months how much support he gets from those unemployed veterans.

I also wonder if there’s been some back channel discussions with the Mullah’s in the middle east… Tensions are high in the gulf region, maybe Obama decided he’d hurry the destruction up a bit since his re-election is in doubt. Just sayin.
