Is Obama a giant among Lilliputians? No, he's a nattering gnat among giants; a gullible one and not very swift.
The hallmark of his naivete and Lilliputian thinking is a 16 month timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq and redeploying them to Afghanistan. Is this akin to his suggestion to send more Arabic tanslators from Iraq, a predominantly Semitic nation, to Afghanistan, a nation composed almost entirely of Indo-European languages? His Lilliputian grasp of the linguistic components of either country is not surprising, it's inevitable. We can expect no less from someone so limited in his understanding of the world. His glaring inadequacies are far more taxing than his lack of knowledge of foreign languages. Obama is only known for his rhetorical talents in speeches, but a well trained parrot can do almost as well.
What he fails to realize is how gullible and easily deceived he can be in any language, in any country. He is misled because his assumptions of superiority and semi-divinity are only excelled by his failure to do the paper work and preparations for his travels. His most glaring assumption comes from thinking, if we don't look threatening to the terrorist, they won't attack us. For a supposed Constitutional scholar, he has not read the Constitution or the Federal Papers, including 41 where Madison observes "Security against foreign danger is one of the primitive objects of civil society. It is an avowed and essential object of the American union." Madison also states "The means of security can only be regulated by the means and the danger of attack. They will in fact be ever determined by these rules and by no others." Who attacked whom, Sen. Obama?
Can we expect a greater grasp of the world from someone so limited in his thinking and understanding? He is running as the potential fuehrer of our country and made a speech in Berlin, in English. Were not the Germans the giant, super race Brobdingnags of their day in WWII, before we cut them down to size? The Brobdingrag or Brobdingnag terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism today are laughing at the presumptions of this tiny gnat, rag or nag. Will Obama, citizen of the world, a cesspool he does not understand, rise above his self-imposed delusions while presuming to be President of the United States of America?
Obama can not even understand the tiny universe of Lilliput and Blefuscu confronted by recurring wars caused by which end of the egg to open first; without realizing the conflict was started by the edict of another presumptuous and butterfingered emperor ill-equipped for statecraft.
