Disturbing Pattern: Obama Puts Our Enemies above Us

American Thinker

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?
