This Year’s First Halloween Party

Kooks, creeps, clowns, misfits, tyrants, goons, ghouls, ogres and demons gathered together at what appeared to be this year’s first Halloween party. But this was scarier than any Halloween party, it was a meeting of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly.

The President brushed off and polished his American apology and appeasement speech in an apparent attempt to pander to the world’s despots. He built himself up while getting another dig in at George Bush. His litany of self-promotion permeated the 38 minute discourse.

On my first day in office, I prohibited — without exception or equivocation — the use of torture by the United States of America.

I ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed, and we are doing the hard work of forging a framework to combat extremism within the rule of law.

I have outlined a comprehensive agenda to seek the goal of a world without nuclear weapons.

Upon taking office, I appointed a Special Envoy for Middle East Peace, and America has worked steadily and aggressively to advance the cause of two states — Israel and Palestine — in which peace and security take root, and the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians are respected.

And we address our priorities here, in this institution — for instance, through the Security Council meeting that I will chair tomorrow on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, and through the issues that I will discuss today.

I will also host a summit next April that reaffirms each nation’s responsibility to secure nuclear material on its territory, and to help those who can’t — because we must never allow a single nuclear device to fall into the hands of a violent extremist.

I will also continue to seek a just and lasting peace between Israel, Palestine, and the Arab world.

I admit that America has too often been selective in its promotion of democracy.

~Barack Obama, excerpts from speech to U.N. General Assembly

Note the I-factor.

Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, fresh from his tent, gave a rambling diatribe lasting 90 minutes. He wanted his African son, Barack Hussein Obama, to be President for life. How nice.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke and successfully cleared out most of the room leaving only a handful of diehards that were obvious gluttons for punishment.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez smelled the hope and implored the United States to “stop stepping on us.” He invited Obama to join the “axis of evil.” He also told U.N. delegates, “Don’t throw shoes at me.” I agree, why waste good shoes.

Given all the rhetoric the world is still the same dangerous and unstable place this week as it was last week. Obama was unable to wave the magic wand of eloquence to solve the planet’s problems with this United Nations cast of characters. These world leaders will return to their countries and the wars and oppression will continue with the United States being the only beacon of light for freedom and liberty.

Isn’t it time for the United Nations to pack up and move to another country and let some other nation bear the cost of this pathetically useless organization?
