Because that article was obviously just a biased expose, trying to find reason to bash Obama again.
How do I know. . .I read the first and the last part. The last part in particular is so much of an "illusion," or could probably qualify more as a direct "LIE" that the rest of the article doesn't deserve an answer:
Analysis of that ridiculous statement:
1. Are you trying to tell me that the 9 year Iraq war was "to save American lives or protect OUR national interest because it was "threatened?"
EVEN IF you can force yourself to believe that. . .we then would have failed MISERABLY!
2. If the second highlighted phrase is correct. . .why is it that a minority of tea party and GOP people can hold a country hostage by refusing to listen to the voice of the people (i.e., just as a last exemple. . .a great majority of the people want to raise taxes on the very wealthy to help create jobs. . . but it's not happening!)
3. Although I agree with the "promote democracy abroad," I totally disagree with the "meaning" that has for so many people. . . that is, "promote OUR KIND of democracy abroad," NOT "what people abroad want as a democracy!"
And, wouldn't you say that trying to silence the Occupy Wall Street PEACEFUL protesters through police crack down AND through continual bashing of their protests by the GOP is a form of "weakening" our democracy in the US? Wouldn't you say that, SCOTUS allowing ANY LARGE, global corporation to give any amount of money to the candidates THEY want to see elected (i.e., the Koch brothers) WEAKENS the voice of the people and thus democracy?
