We Live in Tiny Town

“Russia invades, United States Tweets Back.”

THAT, in all its absurdity, is the definition of the Obama adminisration's foreign policy.

We have become a laughing stock. We are the superhero who has met our kryptonite. We are the gunslinger wearing ballet shoes and packing water pistols. We are the lion tamer in clown shoes with a necklace of steak worn around our neck to entice the big hungry cat to go for our jugular.

In an effort to be the popular kid in the world school of politics we have lost our edge. Once a country to respect, to raise the hackles of fear in our enemies, to introduce goosebumps of awe among our allies...we have become the lamb in wolves clothing masquerading as a trusted world leader.

Our threats are empty words that are backed with no action. We are the tough kid on the block afraid to get our hair mussed. We are the girl who avoids athletics for fear of breaking her charming nails. We are the parents whose kids run roughshod over us and are labeled as push-overs by all the other parents.

Until we are free of Obama, we will continue to be a target to many foes.

Let's pray that we can salvage our power and dignity. But for now we are living in Tiny Town.
