Obama's Arrogance Seeping Through

We heard warnings during the campaign about Obama's dangerous associations with radical leftists. This incident only confirms our deepest fears. He must agree with his wife, Michelle Obama, who said she was not "proud of her country" until Obama was nominated. Even now he is not proud of the brave men and women in blue who defend our nation's streets.

Police are not the only Americas he has offended after six months in office. Obama arrogantly has insulted doctors, inferring that they are greedy profiteers who perform unnecessary operations if they can make a buck or two. "Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that's out there. The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, 'You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out.'" Obama doesn't hesitate to denigrate hard-working physicians, while he forgets to mention his wife and other politically connected hospital administrators that cause the cost of healthcare to go up with their $300,000-plus annual salaries.

Corporate executives have also taken it in the chops. Team Obama has no problem capping salaries for people who work hard in business. This may be because business is a foreign concept to him, having worked his entire life in the public sector. Yet he believes he can radically remake our economy with his "brilliant" social-engineering schemes. As he sees it, government, his friends and he are the only ones who are capable, intelligent and selfless enough to run our lives.

The question must be asked. What if Obama speaks imprudently about other world leaders, offending entire nations with off-the-cuff comments? Their response may be quite different than Sgt. Crowley's agreement to sit down at the White House and have a beer to resolve any differences. Obama's careless remarks could quickly lead the United States into a volatile and dangerous situation, putting her citizens at risk.
