Resident Barack Hussein Obama is AWOL

Forget about Obama's reaction to the McChrystal incident, accepting the General's resignation and assigning Petraeus to take command of that theater in addition to his role of CENTCOM obviously came from Petraeus. And the fact Obama let him resign without taking a star or two means that Petraeus stood up for his friend McChrystal by not informing Obama that option was even on the table. Obama hates dissent and disloyalty and had he known he could have taken more actions against McCrystal, he would have.

Forget about Obama ignoring the Gulf oil spill for the better part of 5 weeks and taking steps that would ensure the spill got worse and was not mitigated, such as denying assistance from 13 other countries and failing to follow the governments preapproved Gulf spill response.

Let's focus on the one event that should have gotten Americas outraged, but the Obama White House ignored it and the Lame Stream Media dutifully followed suit.

Venezuela nationalized 11 oil rigs in their water belonging to a US company because the owner refused to operate the rigs until Venezuela's national oil company paid all outstanding invoices, totalling $59 million.

The POTUS is supposed to stand up for American companies when their property is nationalized by foreign countries. In the 1960's and 1970s when countries were nationalized and expropriating property and business from foreign owners the government stepped in to try to avoid it or to at least make sure the victim of nationalization was fairly compensated.

Why Obama or Clinton did not make statements objecting to this theft of property by Venezuela is outrageous. What is even more outrageous is that the media is reporting the nationalization of the oil rigs and like the White House, finds it perfectly acceptable... and that is the problem.

Nationalization of a company's assets is NOT acceptable, but this hard left administration, coupled with their lapdog main stream media, are not making an issue of it because they BELIEVE that governments have the right to nationalize industries and seize corporate assets.

Trade wars, not to mention shootiong wars, have resulted from nationalization of a foreign company's property. And yet our White House is predictably silent. I can't believe he is ignorant of his duty to act, I believe he chooses not to act (like the Gulf and financial crises) because it suits his ideological beliefs and the good of the people be damned.

He does not act for the best interests of America or Americans, the concept is foreign to him. he acts in the best interest of himself and to further his ideology.
