Our sorry excuse for a president

[SV_Dude]

I cannot wait till this lump of junk gets out of the office. I can only hope that the next president is actually worthy of leading our great cou try!

The blithering incompetence of the Obama administration on Syria really has me terrified as just how stupid the people in charge of this country are.

Watching Russia give Kerry an atomic wedgie over his "hypothetical" walkback comments was just brutal.

How many revisions has Obama made to his "attack Syria speech, it's the AMERICAN thing to do!" since he first announced it?

I've never heard it summed up so succinctly. But then what did we expect, we elected a 'community organizer'(socialist). He's never run anything, except for the scam he ran on the American people, with the help of the fkn media, to get elected. Imagine this scenario if a Republican were in office... would all the libs be on board? Hell no! They'd be screaming for his head! I do not want one drop of US blood shed for these scumbags. Like I've stated on another thread, the only way I'd support an airstrike on Assad is to 'level' the playing field. Then when the Al Qaeda rebels gain the upper hand, we bomb them. We keep this up until BOTH sides are bled dry. NO winners, just LOSERS!

My work computer dose not have sound, but I do like this meme for fox.

I feel the same way about MSNBC.

Did she make up anything? If not, then does it really matter if it is FOX or CNN or MSNBC? Truth is truth. And yeah, it hurts for some.

You are so right Thai. The truth is the truth and it shouldn't matter who the messenger is. The difference is u will never see such an erudite critique on MSNBC, CNN, or any of the 3 major networks.

I don't disagree. It just doesn't change my disdain for Fox, but don't worry - it's not limited to Fox.

You're absolutely right.....because none of these guys EVER watch each other or take clues from others. AND they're absolutely not cut from the same cloth as others in their same field.

Are you serious with this statement or trolling?

 

[Ol'Blue]

I do not care if it is Fox news or CNN or even BBC. She has some very good points. In the end it is pointless. This is even coming from a man who has served in two different combat zone with way to many engagements under his belt. I'm all for kicking ass when it is needed but if we do it. Let the grunts do there job. Hell we had Iraq done in about three weeks, why did we stay? The Stan- Lets see, lets half ass that one to and see what happens. Now this- I think not. The leaders of this country are so out of touch it is simply disturbing. No matter how I critically think about it there is no good answer at all so why do it? Until the UN takes action I"m sorry but you are on your own. If it means so much to the people then they need to step up and fix there own shit for once.

I like this commentator! Tell it like it is, baby! Oh to have a president we can all respect again--you KNOW we've got a dud when all the other countries out there are saying what an idiot Obama is, and how he basically has no integrity or strength.

This one I have to agree with. "Jeanine" btw has a haircut worthy of Ron Burgondy

AND they're absolutely not cut from the same cloth as others in their same field.

I can read the sarcasm and agree that cable news hosts are a "cut from the same cloth" - basically all scum.


BTW "Justice with Judge Jeanine" is not a news show it is an opinion show. I am not BTW advocating for MSNBC or CNN or whatever either. She is as much a journalist as Nancy Grace. Both are former attorneys who have never been journalists or attended any school of journalism.

I prefer NEVER to watch so called "cable news" because it is not news. The only way to get actual news these days is to read actual news articles by actual reporters (not bloggers or websites of cable news companies). An example of a news source would be The Washington Post ---- and not the opinion section which again is not news but opinion.

And before anyone says anything about Obama --- well I'm not a fan and I think he's dead wrong on Syria. These rebels are Al-Q, at least 25% of them, specifically the most powerful groups. Why would we want to help them get into power? Especially since so many are the same fighters that were fighting against US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It makes no sense. These rebels are our enemy as well.

I'm also a fan of books. I just finished a great one that I can recommend about the financial crisis called The Big Short - I highly recommend it and it has nothing to do with RED/BLUE politics.

Apologies, reading comprehension fail. I misread your post.

Who are the rebels?

This was a good read. FULL ARTICLE LINKED HERE.

American threats widen fault lines among Syria's rebels | World news | The Guardian


A few quotes from rebels actually interviewed in Syria:

"We have learned the lessons from Iraq," said Abu Ismail, a leader of the main jihadist group in the north-east of the country, known to some now as the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). "Iraq has made us better fighters"

"There are many among us [who] fought in Iraq and Afghanistan," said a second jihadist, a 26-year-old softly spoken Saudi, who called himself Abu Abid. "Our emir knows how to deal with them. And all know that while the Americans say they want to attack the regime, we are their real enemy."

Here the evolution of Syria's civil war is written in paint on the walls of schools, civic buildings and advertising hoardings, hijacked by myriad players intent on leaving their mark.

The black banner of al-Qaida, adopted by ISIS, is more prominent in al-Bab than the gold-edged flag of the other al-Qaida-linked group, Jabhat al-Nusra, or the regular units of the Free Syrian Army.

When the Guardian spoke to Abu Ismail last November he was a new arrival to the Liwa al-Tawheed, which, though Islamic, fights for a new leadership in Syria and broadly embraces the worldview of the Free Syrian Army. With his new status as local emir, or prince, he claims that momentum for a regional jihad – which aims to install a strict interpretation of sharia law and create a caliphate on a crumbling nation state – is building. "If you control this part of Syria, you control all the Middle East," he said.

"The fight here is more difficult than Iraq. We have the regime, Hezbollah, the Lebanese army, the Shabiha, the Shia mercenaries, Iran, all of them fighting us. And now maybe the Americans. We know how to defeat their air force. We know how to manoeuvre and hide from them. Their number one goal is to prevent the mujahideen getting access to strategic weapons. The planned attack on Assad is a pretence to attack us."

Did anyone listen to his speech last night???

Obama: U.S. military ready if Russia?s Syria plan fails

I am fascinated by this excerpt:

"To my friends on the right, I ask you to reconcile your commitment to America's military might with a failure to act when a cause is so plainly just," he said. "To my friends on the left, I ask you to reconcile your belief in freedom and dignity for all people with those images of children writhing in pain and going still on a cold hospital floor, for sometimes resolutions and statements of condemnation are simply not enough."

He appeals to the conservative's sense of honor. He appeals to the liberals emotions. Priceless.

He asked for congress to delay their vote because he knows he'll get his a$$ kicked. They should take a vote anyway!

Obama shows his inexperience. He is a classic case of someone who claims to be a victim all his life. When he gets to power, he feels invincible and that he owns other people. He feels that he has the RIGHT to do whatever he wants because he is boss.

This is semi-OK if he runs a local lemonade stand...but a major problem when he runs a country.

All i can say is that this is well deserving for the fools who believe his message and voted for him. Hey, i heard that 60% or so of the Jews voted for him! Good job in protecting your homeland!

 

[Thai]

Of course, we all know why he is doing this fake war threat...his calling in life (aka Obamacare) is failing at every corner of the country. What better way to divert attention away from his failure than to fake another war??

Obama is not stupid...Syria ain't Ethiopia...Syria has serious firepower. It is a civil war and our act of aggression will be treated as such by UN.
