As if we needed any more evidence…
This person is NOT my President. He is, unfortunately, a President. If this happens this will be yet another huge “thumbing my nose at the Constitution.” This man is making Jimmy Carter look GOOD! I didn’t think that was possible. All I can do is pray for God’s mercy and for the next 4-years to go by fast. The only light at the end of the tunnel for us is… we can be rest assured he will not serve a second term.
I know there is a lot of speculation in the article, but the sad part is… it’s believable. Keep an eye out!

Barack Obama may subject US troops to International Criminal Court

Excerpt:They are feeling good just now at The Hague, as the judges and pen-pushers of the International Criminal Court (ICC) adjourn to smart restaurants to celebrate the latest gesture-politics flexing of their muscles by issuing an arrest warrant for Omar al Bashir, the President of Sudan. They are feeling less good in Darfur, from which 10 international aid agencies were expelled in retaliation within four hours of the ICC initiative, cutting food supplies and closing clinics. One man’s ego trip is another man’s starvation.
But the people who should be feeling really nervous about this development are the citizens of the United States and more especially their armed forces. The signs are that the grandstanding Barack Obama is preparing to subject the United States to the jurisdiction of the ICC. In May, 2002 President Bush withdrew the United States from the Rome Statute which established the ICC. With America heading into global conflict, he had no wish to see US troops arraigned for alleged war crimes before a kangaroo court.
That was a wise decision and probably required in terms of the US Constitution. Already, however, the Obama administration is sending out very different messages. America helped defeat a proposal that the warrant for Bashir should be suspended for 12 months – which would have been a welcome respite for the soup kitchens of Darfur. This is a policy change of considerable significance.
Nor is it the only straw in the wind. Last month US Ambassador Susan Rice, in a closed meeting of the Security Council, supported the ICC, saying it “looks to become an important and credible instrument for trying to hold accountable the senior leadership responsible for atrocities committed in the Congo, Uganda and Darfur”. A week later Ben Chang, spokesman for National Security Advisor General James Jones, took a similar line, telling the Washington Times: “We support the ICC in its pursuit of those who’ve perpetrated war crimes.”
The next logical step is for the United States to sign up to the ICC. That would flatter Obama’s ego as the conscience of the world. It would also put US servicemen at the mercy of any American-hating opportunists who might choose to arraign them on trumped-up charges before an alien court whose judges are likely to be ill-disposed towards America too.

Not surprised, but very fearful now. I tend to believe more of what comes out of the UK than I do our own news people. All I know is that I have learned that no matter who is president our God is a sovereign God and nothing will overcome my faith and the truth. The truth may be coming out later than we want but it will be made known and in big ways.

This is why I believe the military will reduce itself. Obama said he is going to reduce the military. How many people will VOLUNTEER to fight for their country if they think they could be charged later on with war crimes for obeying orders?
Under Clinton’s time 80% of the pilots who came up for reenlistment refused to reenlist. I can see this happening in ALL branches of the service if Obama does this.
To me this is proof he has an agenda of turning the USA over to the enemy little by little. He is in the process of bankrupting us now so we won’t have capital for defense. He has said he is going to reduce the military. He has said he wants to have a civilian police force that will be the same size as the military, and be funded the same amount as the military. These are his own words during his campaign.
