Democratic Candidates Find Endorsement From Obama Is The Kiss Of Death

Obama endorsements sunk two more Democratic candidates this month as his political capital continues to wane along with his popularity in the face of widespread voter rebellion.

Senator Benedict Arlen Specter became the fourth Democrat in seven months to lose a high-profile election despite active involvement in the campaign by Obama. The Associated Press, in their infinite wisdom, said that this is "raising doubts about Obama's ability to help fellow Democrats in this November's elections." You think?

The first three all fell to Republicans. Specter's loss Tuesday to Representative Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania's Democratic senatorial primary proves, unequivocally, that Obama's influence and popularity - even within his own party - is sinking fast. And he's taking Democratic candidates down with him.

Obama Abandons 65 Years Of US Policy Exposes US To Attack

Barack Obama reversed 65 years of US policy of using the US nuclear arsenal as a deterrent. The move is akin to whistling past a graveyard, hoping that nothing bad will happen. It is also the exact opposite of the Peace Through Strength policy employed so effectively by Ronald Reagan.

Barack Obama's decision to reverse 65 years of US nuclear weapons policy and drop most of the nation's deterrence capacity has alarmed critics who say they fear that the United States will now be more vulnerable to attack from would-be nuclear nations. 

By changing the policy, the Obama administration hopes the United States can focus on stopping the spread of atomic weapons to terror groups such as Al Qaeda as well as halt North Korea's nuclear buildup and Iran's nuclear ambitions, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday in announcing the new Nuclear Posture Review.
