Disturbing Pattern: Obama Puts Our Enemies above Us

We are witnessing a disturbing pattern. President Obama always puts the best interest, well-being, and rights of our enemies above providing protection and justice for the American people.

My wife ranted, "It is as if Obama is desensitizing us to the suffering of our people in these terrorist attacks."

The Benghazi scandal perfectly illustrates her point.  The Obama administration has paid lip service expressing its regrets that four Americans died.  But are you feelin' the love -- a vibe of real compassion or concern -- coming from the administration about the torture and deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty?  Absolutely not!  As a matter of fact, U.S. assets in the area ready to come to the defense of Ambassador Stevens were ordered to stand down by someone of power in the Obama administration.

Obama and company have lied and done everything in their power to cover up what happened in Benghazi, and to stonewall anyone trying to find out the truth.

Now get this, folks: the FBI has enough evidence for our military to seize five suspects believed responsible for murdering Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty.  The suspects have not been arrested because the Obama administration insists on trying them in civilian court and does not believe it has enough evidence for a conviction.  Why is Obama bending over backwards for terrorists, seeking to give them a platform and taxpayer-funded attorneys in civilian court?  Meanwhile, in case you have not noticed, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty are now referred to in the media only as "three other Americans."

Here is another example of Obama protecting our enemy while telling Americans to just deal with it.

Americans were enjoying a beautiful day watching family and friends running in the Boston marathon.  Moments later, lives were brutality changed forever: loved ones gone (dead), limbs blown off, and hundreds severely injured.  The first response of Obama was to make sure no one blamed Islamic terrorists.  Upon arresting an Islamic terrorist for the bombing, Obama's Justice Department immediately ran to make sure Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was read his Miranda rights and provided with high-powered elite attorneys, again paid for by us taxpayers.  Tsarnaev stopped talking.  Why would Obama provide cover for Tsarnaev to not answer questions vital to the safety of the American people?

This next example should get your blood boiling.

Retired Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, shot seven times in the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, is stuck with paying his own medical bills.  The shooter, Nidal Hasan, has been paid $278,000 while awaiting trial. 

Because the Obama administration insists on classifying the shooting as "workplace violence" rather than a "terrorist attack," Sgt. Lunsford and other shooting victims are denied combat-related pay.  They are not eligible for Purple Heart retirement or medical benefits.

The Ft Hood shooting was unquestionably a terrorist attack.  Before shooting, Hasan yelled, "Allahu Akbar!"  Once again, our enemy, Hasan, is well-taken care of by the Obama administration, while Sgt. Lunsford and fellow great American good guys get the shaft.

Another example of Obama's obsession with coddling our enemies while putting Americans at risk is Obama's desire to close Guantánamo Bay.  Guantánamo detainees are the worst of the worst, caught on the battlefield trying to kill Americans.  They receive first-rate medical care, special diets respecting their religion, special concessions for their religious needs, and cable TV.  Upon their release, many former detainees return to the battlefield to kill Americans.  With gas and food prices continuing to soar, extremely high unemployment, millions of American homes financially underwater, the first U.S. Ambassador killed in 30 years, global jihad, and three major scandals on his administration's plate, why is releasing our enemies apparently Obama's number-one priority?

Despite the Ft. Hood shooting, the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, and the Boston bombing by Islamic terrorists, Obama persists in playing the role of defense attorney for those seeking our demise.  In a recent speech, Obama ignored the facts and continued to proclaim that the War on Terror is over and Al-Qaeda is on the run.

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu advises that one know his enemy.

President Obama's denial of our enemy puts America at great risk while providing cover for our enemy.  Are you noticing a very disturbing pattern?
