Obama: They're Trying to 'Make You Scared of Me' | The Trail | washingtonpost.com:

"So what they are going to try to do is make you scared of me,' Obama warned a crowd in Springfield this morning."

Well, it so happens that many of us are scared of Obama as president, but not for the reasons he says. It's not because of his color, or his ethnicity, or his exposure to Islam (he claims to be a Christian, but he did, in fact, attend a Muslim school for a time).

No, the reason I fear Obama as president is because our international enemies will perceive him to be weak. It doesn't matter if he is or not, it's a fact that overseas miscreants will read Obama's inexperience as an opening for them to achieve whatever goal they think they should pursue.

There is historical precedent: In 1961, Khrushchev read Kennedy's inexperience as being a weak president, and the next thing that happened was the Soviet Union moved missiles into Cuba. And we know the crisis that ensued - the world was on the precipice of nuclear war for 13 days.

Obama is anti-war; the Democrats are anti-pretty much everything involving security. But what happens when terrorists see this as weak (and they will)? September 11 might just have been the prelude that they intended...
