I guess that Barry is just too cool be bothered with protocol or the official procedure's of the Military in relation to the of the presidency. Here we see the “Cool One” with the "latte salute"....
This is our Commander-in-Chief? The head of the Free World? So disengaged that he can't even properly salute one of his troops?
Over 2 years, the Taliban have been insisting on those 5 for
Bergdahl...and in the end, we gave them those 5 and we are hearing "we
do not leave one of ours behind"
What if the Taliban asked for all 120 in GITMO including KSM?
And 2 years later they still stuck to that deal?
What if we captured Bin Laden alive and he was part of the deal the Taliban insisted on.
Nutty than a Fruit Cake Elizabeth Warren repeated the lie on CNN today that she is Native American!
Refusing to start a nuclear war with Russia is not the sign of weakness. No matter how much to try to pressure Obam into looking Macho with Putin. Macho bravado won't work, not with Russia.
No one is saying that bombs and bullets is the only way to look strong. You are the only one who seems stuck on that.
I personally feel that our best policy for this situation was to look strong by doing next to nothing.
Look at it this way and try to pay attention....
Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine did nothing to deserve it. It was 100% Russians decision to start the action.
So exactly what kind of negotiating is Kerry going to do? Offer
something for them to pull out? Why? We, or ANYONE should give Russia
something in return for pulling out?
To me, sending in Kerry gave the action credence....think about it. WE
had to go to THEM to ask them what WE can do for THEM to stop being bad
people.
Best action...
One speech from the President or The Secretary of State....
"They are to pull out their troops immediately and once they do, we will
gladly sit down with all parties involved to try to come up with a way
to assist Russia in helping the Ukraine re-establish a working
government. In the meantime, we will begin looking at possible sanction
that will be employed until the Russians retreat."
That is strength.
Have a great day.
Dear Mr. President:
It didn’t seem possible, but even after my lowest expectations of you, from the very beginning five years ago when I thought that you were the bottom-of-the-barrel, I figured you could never again disappoint more than that....But you did it. You really, surely did.
As you know and as required by the Constitution, a sitting president is required to
inform Congress of the state of our union once per year during his
term(s). Today, we'll be fact checking that speech.
The Lair-in-Chief who was elected and re-elected on Affirmative Action and white liberal guilt. Made one of his most UN-memorable, and worse speeches last nignt. I thought the speech was very sad because number one, no one is interested in Global Warming any longer, and no one cares about your immigration reform either. We have much to mush to worry about with the economy and with terrorism these days!
Over and over all I heard for the past 5 years was Obama saying that he will not rest until...... on and on. I went back and looked at last years speech and 3 years back. It is the same speech just with different "I will's and I shall". He is still working around the edges to the economy and he still thinks that the rich got rich by robbing the poor. Same as all the years back.
Am I wrong or was Obama was initially elected to bridge the divide between liberals and conservatives.
Well he certainly dropped the ball on that.
To me that is his biggest failure from day one.
He passed Obamacare with not one vote from conservatives. What does that tell you about his “Hope and Change”? It tells me that nobody wants him or his Hope and Change.
First, the unemployment rate has not gone down for lack of unemployment,
but for retiring baby boomers and disoriented job seekers simply
leaving the labor force. As recently as December of last year, 917,000
Americans left the workforce.
Second, America does indeed possess more oil reserves than the Middle
East and the world combined, but what he fails to mention is that it
sits under federally owned land. Attempts to take advantage of that
supply via the Keystone XL pipeline have been rebuffed by the his
Administration. It is true we produce more oil than we buy, but gas
prices have not translated, which cost an average of $3.26 a gallon.
Thirdly and most importantly, Obama claims our deficits have been cut in
half. In fact, that is a rather bold lie. In his 5 years so far, he ran
4 consecutive $1 trillion budget deficits, with last year dipping into
the $900 billion range. Obama made a $3.8 trillion budget proposal to
congress last April, suggesting that any "cuts" would be minimal. It may
look good on paper, but the bill would almost cancel out any reductions
put in place as it proposes. Don't let the $734 billion budget deficit
fool you this year, since roughly $2 dollars more will spent per every
$1 dollar cut from the deficit.
Lastly Obama has done little to remedy the flow of jobs leaving America
for countries overseas. Five years ago, he promised revamp the tax code
to make hiring less hostile to American corporations. So far none of
that has happened. It is debatable when he says that "business leaders
around the world have declared that China is no longer the world’s
number one place to invest." In two years spanning 2008 through 2010,
trade with China cost America roughly 450,000 jobs
As far as conservatives are concerned, they were left on a deserted island
to starve. So much for hope and change, so much for getting both sides to talk and compromise....a major lie to get elected and then get his way is what Obama is all about. All he does is attack the conservatives on every issue, so how does expect them to compromise with him on anything?
And on Obamacare, Obama won the election because of his intentional, often-repeated "you can keep your plan" lie, one that was put out by his political team after weighing the pros and cons of lying. It was decided that the short-term gains of the lie (election won) outweighed the inevitable blow-back of lying. Which may turn out to be true, although things look pretty bleak for the Dems come mid-terms- even before the other Obamacare lies (you can keep your doctor) are fully exposed.
No liberals here can or will refute that their party used intentional lying as a tactic to win the election. All they can do is attempt to deflect. Which makes them complicit in the administration's dishonesty. Lying: it's a "progressive" disease.
1. “Hey, at least that successful Mormon businessman didn’t win.”
2. “Didn’t your lady parts warn you this would happen?”
3. “Look at the bright side. Gay marriage passed in four states.”
4. “Hey, Big Bird still has a job. Isn’t that the important thing?”
5. “I am sure Obama cares deeply about your situation. Maybe he’ll send you a postcard from Hawaii.”
6. “Well, look at the bright side. Rush Limbaugh is getting a massive tax increase.”
7. “Hey! Now you’ll have more time to play with your unicorn.”
8. “Isn’t it worth losing your job to know that religious organizations now have to pay for abortions and contraceptives?”
9. “Well, now you and Keith Olbermann have something else in common.”
10. “Hey at least now you're eligible for a free Obama Phone!”
The arrogance of this man is astounding.
This seems to be a pattern with these Progressive idiots, they speak before they think. .
Either says something stupid or nothing at all are the only alternatives you give Obama?
Sure, he should have said something.....But when you have the world stage, you need to pick and choose your words carefully. You do not want to incite, but you also don't want to ignore.
Perhaps....he could have said "Sure, we are concerned about terrorism and the Olympics. We are aware that an attack can be pre planned, or a lone soldier and we expect Mr. Putin to consider all scenarios."
And that pretty much sums up my view on Obama
