Obama in India: I Might Not be President of the United States were it not for Gandhi
Obama speaking in India today, where he praised the influence of Mahatma Gandhi. Obama recounted how Gandhi had influenced Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. to resist discrimination with non-violence. Obama went further and said:

“Throughout my life, including my work as a young man on behalf of the urban poor, I have always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and in his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world. . . . .I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today as president of the United States had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world.”

Obama Speaks about decline of US dominance
The Times of India
Implicitly acknowledging the decline of American dominance, Barack Obama on Sunday said the US was no longer in a position to “meet the rest of the world economically on our terms”.
Speaking at a town hall meeting in Mumbai, he said,

“I do think that one of the challenges that we are going face in the US, at a time when we are still recovering from the financial crisis is, how do we respond to some of the challenges of globalisation? The fact of the matter is that for most of my lifetime and I’ll turn 50 next year – the US was such an enormously dominant economic power, we were such a large market, our industry, our technology, our manufacturing was so significant that we always met the rest of the world economically on our terms. And now because of the incredible rise of India and China and Brazil and other countries, the US remains the largest economy and the largest market, but there is real competition.”

“This will keep America on its toes. America is going to have to compete. There is going to be a tug-of-war within the US between those who see globalisation as a threat and those who accept we live in a open integrated world, which has challenges and opportunities.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
“Throughout my life, including my work as a young man on behalf of the urban poor, I have always found inspiration in the life of Gandhiji and in his simple and profound lesson to be the change we seek in the world.”
He credits Gandhi ???? Good grief!
Gandhi was a supporter of Hitler and a guy who slept with 9 year old naked girls He actually said:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

“Hitler killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.”

“Obama acknowledges decline of US dominance”
Obama’s statement is confirming what our enemies want to believe that the US is a paper tiger, and even if it is true (it is not true) statements like this encourage armed attacks on Americans. It is a very dangerous and reckless statement to make and should have not been said! While on foreign soil the bastard Obama assails our history and insults every American “patriot”. Now he further minimizes our country’s status in the eyes of world and in doing so, he emboldens our enemies and undermines our security, finding even more ways to describe us as a Paper Tiger.
Can anyone imagine President Reagan uttering such words, painting us so weak and venerable, and frankly, so worthless?
American hating piece of filth! He hates this country.
America will rise again! But Obama’s rule will one day end!!!
