OBAMA DRAMA

America is regarded as the enemy of the world ,especially the mid-eastern block sees America as a dictator and power drunk .It is a generally acclaimed and accepted fact that America is the super power of the world and they play the “BIG BROTHER” to other Nations. The past regime of Pres. Bush (jnr) attracted a lot enemies to America due its strong foreign policy and its defiance to sit and talk with countries regarded as terrorist supporting nations and undemocratic governments .The war in Iraq ,Afghanistan and constant face off between the American backed Israeli govt and the Hamas led Palestine govt, has been seen as flexing of muscle and unjust wars by the mid-east and many. This foreign policy and wars has indeed made the western world peaceful and has greatly reduced or stopped terrorist attacks on American soil and those of its allies. Majority of terror attacks are now carried out in the bases of its origin .Several terror attacks are been carried out across Pakistan ,India, and other mid-east countries.

The recently Presidential election in America was watched with keen interest by the world due to the change anticipated in the emergence of the first African American candidate and the change from the republic to the democrats .The emergence of the Barrack Obama as the first Black president of America and his electoral promises of change in American foreign policy and to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was welcomed by majority of American populace and was also a relief to mid-easterners who witness a hard time in the past regime of Bush no nonsense attitude. Obama’s readiness to sit and talk with Americans foes like Iran,Cuba,etc was seen as a welcome idea by millions of electorates that voted him into the wise. But the question is “Is America and the whole world safer under OBAMA ?” T his a question that many that voted Obama to the white house cant find a conclusive answer to .Obama started with controversial appointments of aides with questionable tax records and the multi billion stimulus plan has failed to help its targets in the global economic meltdown .The recent appointment of judge Sotomayor to head the supreme has come under heavy criticism from various sector including her colleagues who regarded her as not as brilliant as thought and high handed and bullish .President Obama’s plans to transport gitmos prisoners to American soil to be tried has been rebuked by scores of sept 11 relations and the republicans and some democrats has kicked against it also .The abortion bill is another unpopular bill of President Obama administration. His decision to set up a military like court to her the cases of gitmos prisoners was not different to that of President Bush.

Am not anti Obama ,am a democratic who believes in the freedom of humanity and good governance, I support the independence and existence of Palestine and Israel don’t share the historic value of president Obama but share the historic value of America as the worlds stabilizer .I don’t share the Obamamania frenzy but will like to see a more dedicated American policy towards a more peaceful world. Am a Nigerian, if have had my way would have voted Senator McCain who I believe was more sincere in his policies which are right measure at this crucial time. He didn’t say he will not raise taxes and never promised to recall the army from Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama promised not to raise tax and also promised the immediate stop to wars on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. He indeed raise the tax of the rich and is still flirting with the idea of the army recall.

Am not set to discredit the government of President Obama, but I fail to see the impact it has on Americans and the world at large. An opinion poll showed that Israelis believe the Obama administration is not committed to their course and they feel more threatened by Iran ever than before Obama’s open door policy and its readiness to sit and talk to countries said to be aiding terrorist group is seen by many as a weakness ,and its and its making them look more like Britain that has lost her superiority in Europe and the entire world in their course of being fair and her readiness to accept all opposition.

China is recently mopping up American bonds thus bailing out all ailing companies in America and controlling her financial aspect ,this has made China very powerful and indispensable to America .Its this same china that failed to caution or sanction President Pyongyang of North Korea who has enriched itself with Nuclear weapon and openly threatening South Korea and the rest of the world with his newly acquired weapon of mass destruction .Pyongyang’s N.korea gets virtually all its aid from China, and any sanction from China will crumble N.Korea. But China is foot-dragging in making concrete decision to deal with the threat of N.Korea .Obama’s call for measures to stop Nuclear weapon enrichment by N.Korea is not different from that from the British which is like the ranting of an ant.

The government in Iran has severally called for the eradication of Israel and they have presently been testing long range missiles capable of reaching Israel, Uk and parts of America .This test is been done despite the calls from various countries and governments condemning the act .What has American government done about this ?, Obama planned or rather the Iranian government has called America to an open debate to discuss the issue .They even warned that any attack on their missiles launch sites will be replied with fatal measures.

Are this the new super powers of the world we have to live with ?.Who says American domination of the world has not been of good .If not a world dominated by countries like North Korea ,Iran, China whose development depends on the quality of weapon of mass destruction is better of?.

President Obama should wake up and raise to uphold the integrity of America and Americans and that of the whole world that look up to her as the world leader .The election drama is over and its now time for serious actions and decisions to be made. History has been made in his emergence and history should not be made in the fall of America under his regime. The electorates might have gone to sleep after effecting the thought is needed but the enemies never sleeps and is ready to take advantage of every given opportunity which is been witnessed all around the world now.

Obama’s recent visit to Egypt was greeted with mixed reaction, some said why does he have to go to a country that supports Hamas an organisation classified as a terrorist group. A country that is not democratic, and doesn’t respect human rights. Some said he took the word straight to the Muslim world, but I think he is just rehearsing. He preferred to use the word “Extremist” instead of “Terrorist”, and he never condemned Iran’s call for the wiping out of Israel.

President Obama enjoyed personal preference in Egypt not Americas acceptance. Somebody needs to tell him that this people hates America and there’s little he can do to change that than to tale the fight on terrorism to them. All he’s doing now is showing Americans weakness to the world.
