obama's terrible foreign policy record

Mark  Levin did a lengthy talk tonight on the failings of obama's foreign policy that anyone still thinking of voting for that man needs to listen to.  obama's domestic failings, as glaring, embarrassing and terrible as they indeed are, pale by comparison to his failings in the area of foreign policy.  As obama slices the US Navy to less than 300 ships, Red China threatens the Philippines, as Iran gears up to nuke Israel, the Muslim Brotherhood rules Egypt and, soon, Syria, and is about to move into the Sinai in direct contravention to the Camp David Accord.  But Israel dares not share its plans with the US for fear that they will be leaked to obama's functionaries at the NY Times.  Levin also discussed the video on the internet showing a young Christian man being beheaded by frenzied Muslims.  I. myself, missed obama's reaction to this outrage.  What government permitted this without arresting the murderers?  In Russia, the increasingly thuggish Vladimir Putin and his regime has jailed three young feminist rock and rollers for the next two years.  At a show trial this week that drew hundreds of protesters in Moscow and condemnation from around the world - but not the USA - a Putin judge sentenced the three members of "Pussy Riot" to two years behind bars for hooliganism.  The three had put on an impromtu concert in Moscow's main Cathedral, with the songs protesting Putin's policies against dissidents.  Meanwhile obama gussies up to the thug and promises him that after the election the two will talk about nuclear disarmament. terrific

Sports:  No. 9 Maryland played its first soccer exhibition tonight at powerful Creighton.  The match ended in a 3-3 tie.  The Terps got goals from Patrick Mullins, John Stertzer and Jereme Raley.  Maryland broke on top early by a 2-0 score before the homestanding Blue Jays battled back to tie.  Raley's goal gave the Terps a 3-2 halftime lead.  Sunny Jane was stopped on a breakaway midway through the second half and the Blue Jays scored a tieing goal in the final 15 minutes.  The Terps play their second and final preseason game Monday night in College Park against Penn State.  Baseball:  In Detroit the four MLB umpires working the key pennant race game between the Orioles and Tigers broke one of umpiring's most time-honored traditions tonight, when they reversed a judgment call.  In the process, they made total fools out of themselves.  The first base umpire called a Tiger Jhonny Peralta out at first base after he hit a hard grounder down the third base line that rookie phenom Manny Machado fielded and through hard to first baseman Mark Reynolds.  Reynolds stretched himself heroically and managed to keep his foot on the bag while catching the Machado throw.  Replays showed that the runner was out as called.  Tiger Manager Jim Leyland came out to argue and for the first time in this observer's life, the four changed the call after talking among themselves.  No replay was consulted.  The second the call was changed Reynolds threw his glove to the ground and was immediately ejected.  Oriole Manager Buck Showalter immediately protested and was also quickly ejected.  There was no word on whether the Orioles intended to protest the game, which also included a blown call in the first inning when Nick Markakis was ruled out a home.  NFL: Raven placekicker Billy Cundiff made the pro bowl two seasons ago.  Then, after a less productive 2011 Cundiff missed a chip shot field goal in the waning seconds of the AFC Title game, costing the Ravens a berth in the Superbowl.  Cundiff is still with the Ravens, but is locked in a tight battle with Rookie Justin Tucker, the former Texas Longhorn kicker.  Cundiff uploaded a video to You Tube wherein he stated that if he kicks well in the preseason the job is his.  Don't count on it.  Tucker has been spectacular through two exhibitions.  Last night he was 2-2 in field goals, including a booming 50 yarder that would have been good from 65.  Even more impressive was the successful onsides kick he executed in the waning seconds of the game against Detroit.
