Obamaesque Courage
1/20/09 Pres. Obama, after campaigning on “Hope & Change”& “Yes we Can” is inaugurated President.
6/04/09 In a Speech in Cairo Pres. Obama stated to the World “all people yearn for ...freedom …Those are not just American ideals, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere.”
6/20/09 Iranian people protest fraudulent election, Nada Agha Soltan is one of many killed and arrested. The Iranian people use e-mail and twitter to plead for help from Pres. Obama; they frantically ask “President Obama are you with us or against us?” Pres. Obama responded “…We…want to avoid the U.S. being the issue inside Iran.”
10/ 9/09 Pres. Obama is awarded Nobel Peace Prize; he accepts the award saying it’s not simply about “the efforts of my admin.” it is also “about the courageous efforts of people around the world.” He then describes the woman killed in Iran but does not name her or her killers. He selects that woman and others to share the Nobel Peace Prize with him. He states; “… and for all those men and women across the world who sacrifice their safety and their freedom and sometimes their lives for the cause of peace. That has always been the cause of America. That’s why the world has always looked to America and that’s why I believe America will continue to lead.”
Pres. Obama has taken the acts of courage of others and joined them with his admin. to create an event where everyone, including Pres. Obama, will be honored for their “efforts.” Since all the others are there because of their “Courageous efforts” it is understood Pres. Obama is also honored for his “Courageous efforts” in leading his Administration.
No one, including President Obama identifies what “efforts” and “courageous” acts were performed by President Obama and his Administration.
He did not have the courage to say the name of the courageous “young woman” he asked to share the Nobel Peace Prize with him, nor to name the Country that killed her.
History will record that President Obama’s alleged “courageous…efforts” were taken from people like Nada Agha Solta and others whose “courage” Pres. Obama then claimed partially for his Administration because he had helped convince them to act for freedom.
This Type of action creates a New Phrase “Obamaesque Courage.” Unfortunately for America and the World, the Existing and Next Generation of Dictators and Terrorists Watched and saw President Obama Say and Do Nothing.
Will America’s “Obamaesque Courage” be able to Lead?If America Tries To Lead Will Anyone Follow?
