President Obama campaigned on a pledge to reduce weaponry in space. Today, Reuters reports that on the President's website, there is a pledge to rid the universe of "weapons" in space....a nice goal, perhaps, but it is difficult to determine what a "weapon" is in space, given that even a weather tracking satellite can be used as a "weapon." If Obama enters into an international agreement, and commits the U.S. to not deploying "weaponry" in space, this would weaken the U.S.
Additionally, President Obama announced plans to allow individual states the freedom to set individual auto emissions standards...which makes it more difficult for an ailing car industry to manufacture cars tailored to more, individualized specifications...which makes the cost of the care rise....
In short, this will weaken the automobile industry.
And of course, last week President Obama ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prision facility.
We seem to be headed on a path of a weaker America, weaker economically, militarily, and otherwise. Could this, perhaps, be the goal?
Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright once lamented that America was during the Clinton years (and still is) the world's only remaining "superpower."
Could this lament now be permeating the Obama Administration?
And is it time for us to be "weaker" - - just to make it more fair for the rest of the world?
We'll talk about it tonight on The Austin Hill Show - - 1 - 888 -630-WMAL, if you'd like to join the discussion. Listen at www.TheAustinHillShow.Com
