The Next Obama Bus Hit and Run Victim, Richard Danzig?

Watch out Richard!

Look for Richard Danzig's name to be added to the "Thrown under the Obama Campaign Bus" list.

Who is Richard Danzig? Danzig is a foreign policy advisor for the Obama Presidential campaign. He served as Secretary of the Navy under President William Jefferson "Bubba" Clinton from November 16, 1998 through the end of the Clinton debacle (AKA the Clinton Presidency).

He is reported to be on the short list for National Security Advisor in an Obama-nation...perhaps I should say was. Like all Democrats on the Left, Danzig has brilliant ideas.

Perhaps the pinnacle of his brilliance shone forth yesterday June 17, 2008 in a speech he gave to the Center for New American Security, wheh he is quoted in an article in the Daily Telegraph as saying:

“Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”

Umm...interesting Richard, tell us more.

Barack Obama aide: Why Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy

By Tim Shipman in Washington

Winnie the Pooh, Luke Skywalker and British football hooligans could shape the foreign policy of Barack Obama if he becomes US President, according to a key adviser.

Richard Danzig, who served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton and is tipped to become National Security Adviser in an Obama White House, told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.

Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: “Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”

He apparently then went on to quote from A.A. Milne's wonderful children's book:

“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down stairs. But sometimes he thinks there really is another way if only he could stop bumping a minute and think about it.”

Now don't get me wrong, I believe that Winnie the Pooh is an excellent series of tales for little boys and girls to read or be read to from; It may even be an excellent philosophical lesson in facing the difficulties of life with aplomb, as described in Benjamin Hoff's book, The Tao of Pooh, but I hardly think that I would recommend it as an instructive for how to deal with our international and philosophical enemies.

If it is too painful then find a different path? This is the path that Obama would take on conducting foreign policy? I hardly thing Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, or George Washington would concur.

This is typical Liberal "vision." So simplistic and inane that Danzig should have been laughed off the stage, but for Liberals, it is a profound statement that plucks the strings of their inner desire to be "well thought of."

Being "nice" to one's enemies is a basic tenet of those on the Left...unless those enemies are political opponents here in America, in which case no perjorative is outside the bounds of good taste.

Unfortunately for Mr. Danzig, he made a fatal flaw that will cost him his position as trusted advisor to the Obama campaign and the possible nomination as Nation Security Advisor, he told the truth about that which Liberals believe. He exposed the naivete of Liberal foreign policy.

For that crime, I suspect that Richard Danzigs name will soon be added to the growing list of those who have been "thrown under the bus" by Barack Hussein Obama.

With advisors like Danzig around him, no wonder Liberals are so enamored of his candidacy, he lives in the same fantasy world in which they live.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!
