Why Barack Hussein Osama Obama will never be president of the United States

The main duties of the president of the United States are to be the Commander in Chief of the military and to conduct diplomatic relations and negotiate treaties on behalf of the United States. Certainly, Mr. Obama is not a natural leader capable of the minimum skills necessary as a Commander in Chief, but Mr. Obama's recent comments also illustrate that he does not have the diplomatic skills, what some would say, tactful skills, required of the president.

One of America's strongest allies, not just in the war on terror, but an ally in general, is the country of Australia. The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, recently said, and rightly so, that terrorists are awaiting election of a democrat to the presidency. Specifically, of Mr. Obama's election.

Prime Minister Howard's quotes, "I think that (withdrawal) will just encourage those who want to completely destabilize and destroy Iraq, and create chaos and a victory for the terrorists to hang on and hope for an Obama victory," Howard said on Nine Network television.

"If I were running al-Qaida in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats."

Mr. Obama's response? "I think that it's flattering that one of George Bush's allies on the other side of the world started attacking me a day after I announced" my candidacy for president, Obama said during a news conference in Iowa, the first state to hold party caucuses.

Prime Minister Howard is not one of "George Bush's allies." Rather, Prime Minister Howard, and the country of Australia, are allies of the United States and they have been allies in war and in peace.

Mr. Obama and his few supporters may think his rhetoric is clever, but working with our allies as president requires a certain temperament that Mr. Obama illustrated he does not have.

Please, Mr. Obama, go back either to the madrassa in Indonesia or the New Black Panther Party church of which you are a member in Illinois.
