Candace de Russy on “Obama and Plummeting Military Morale”
Winfield Myers • November 16, 2009 • Uncategorized
Writing today at American Thinker, Democracy Project’s chairman Candace de Russy argues–convincingly–that President Obama’s manifest lack of concern for the war in Afghanistan is undermining the morale of American troops serving there. Drawing on diverse sources from (among others) the Wall Street Journal, journalist Claudia Rossett, and a refreshing dose of common sense, de Russy laments the rise in suicide among troops resulting, at least in part, from the president’s dithering.
But perhaps her most ominous warning is that, by presenting an image of weakness and vacillation (one in the same on the world stage), Obama’s inaction raises the chances that he will lead us into a future far more dangerous than what would await a more resolute leader who stood tall for his country.
Read the whole thing here, and pass it around. It deserves the widest possible audience.

I second the motion. In Dr. de Russy’s fine piece in American Thinker, she points out Obama’s “lack of leadership and his alienation of our troops” doubting that Obama can deliver the goods in Afghanistan and in the balance of the global theater. Hollow campaign rhetoric on the “war of neccessity” in Afghanistan, now meets the real test, where he exhibits a failure to lead and deserves de Russy’s appropriate moniker as “America’s demoralizer in chief.” Hopefully this piece will help awaken the populous to what they have wrought in their 2008 election of not only the charlatan chief executive but Congress as well.
