Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu is the big news maker this week, and it’s only Tuesday. Earlier I reported about his flat out lie that it was Obama who scrapped the shuttle program and made us resort to using Russian rockets to fly our astronauts to the space station. Now he’s he’s accusing the President of not knowing how to be an American:
“I wish this president would learn how to be an American,” said former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu said toward the beginning of the call. Asked later to explain his comment, Sununu said he was referring to Obama’s economic philosophy, and apologized for not being clearer.
It seems he is taking queues from the GOP’s supreme leader, Rush Limbaugh, who said Obama “hates America” yesterday.
But it doesn’t stop there. Sununu isn’t only insulting the President, but he has also decided to insult an entire state:
“He has no idea how the American system functions,” Sununu told Fox. “And we shouldn’t be surprised about that, because he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something, spent the next set of years in Indonesia, another set of years in Indonesia, and, frankly, when he came to the U.S., he worked as a community organizer, which is a socialized structure, and then got into politics in Chicago.”
Spent years in Hawaii? I guess because the people of Hawaii don’t know how to be Americans. Does that also mean the 2402 soldiers who died at Pearl Harbor also didn’t know how to be Americans? That’s a very callous statement coming from a man who never had the guts to serve this country.
These are the voices of Mitt Romney. These are the people who don’t think fallen soldiers who perished on that December morning in 1941 are Americans. These are the people who have nothing to offer, so they make up lies. These are the people who fall in line behind their leader, Rush Limbaugh.
Is this what America really needs? I don’t think so.
