Apparently Obama Will “Work With” People
Saying there’s a lot of empty political rhetoric out there is like saying there’s a lot of open real estate available on Mars. But it’s true. It’s especially true listening to Obama’s foreign policy speech yesterday, where he basically outlined a plan to solve all of our foreign policy problems. Speaking of which, did you know that throwing money at problems solves everything?
We’ve been stuck with Obama for about 18 months now, and one thing I’ve noticed is his penchant for wanting to “negotiate with” or “work with” people, while not detailing exactly how “working with” anyone would actually solve anything. For example, here are six Google-approved Obama quotes:
- “We’ll work with Russia to take U.S. and Russian ballistic missiles off hair-trigger alert…”
- “we’ll work with other nuclear powers to reduce global stockpiles dramatically…”
- “And we’ll work with the Senate to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty…”
- “We’ll work with the government to end the reign of terror from right wing paramilitaries.”
- “we’ll work with the African Union to enhance its ability to keep the peace.”
- “we’ll work with your employer to lower your premiums by $2,500 every year…”
Semantics, some will say. But it’s easier to promise you’ll TRY, than to actually deliver. I mean, even I could run on a platform of “negotiating with Iran.” In fact, I could walk up to Dayana Mendoza and “work with her” on the 2008 Kenitz “Motorboatin’ Them Gonzagas” Proposal, but it doesn’t mean I won’t get slapped.
