Why Barack Obama cannot become the next President of the United States

With the 2008 election just seven short months away, the people of America better take a step back and ask themselves if we can really give the keycard with the nuclear launch codes to Barack Obama; a three year senator with zero national security experience, and a voting record more liberal than Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont.

The fundamental flaw with Barack Obama and his vision of hope is not that he is extremely weak on foreign policy, or that he hasn't shown the strength to lock up the nomination to his party, but his inability to articulate and acknowledge a coherent and practical understanding of the world outside our physical borders. When he says the vote to authorize the Iraq War is the most important vote of this generation, he assumes there will be no other foreign policy crisis tomorrow, or next month, or next year.

Make no mistake, we live in a world of anarchy. Barack Obama is willing to talk with dictators without preconditions, has said he would unilaterally go into Pakistan, and has failed to show any leadership what so ever as chairperson of the European Affairs subcommittee, by not holding hearings on NATO missions in Afghanistan.

His own former foreign policy advisor (Samantha Power), the same one who had to step down for calling Clinton a "monster," publicly stated Obama's campaign rhetoric will not match his actual actions if he becomes president. Can someone please tell me what kind of foreign policy this candidate plans to implement? I still cannot figure it out.

There are three candidates in this election. We have a modern day Eisenhower in McCain, a left of center Margaret Thatcher in Clinton, and an African-American version of George McGovern in Obama.

Two out of the three candidates have already proven they have titanium skin. I know what to expect from McCain and Clinton and I know who should not have responsibility over the launch codes; the question is does the country know?

I have never met Barack Obama and I am sure he has the best intentions, but even the best intentions can lead to nightmarish foreign policy. Just ask Jimmy Carter.

While this untested candidate promises all can be well, the enemies of the United States will keep telling us to go to hell.
