Finally.
Barack Obama finally got around to taking a position. Now that the dust is settling in Libya, Barack Obama is taking a position. This is exactly the same as he’s done for his entire career.
And the position he’s finally gotten around to taking is Sarah Palin’s. She got there on February 23.
Now, as Gaddafi is mopping up, Barack the Bold appears on the horizon.
In the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama voted present 128 times. He would often use it to duck the tough issues.
Sometimes the “present’ votes were in line with instructions from Democratic leaders or because he objected to provisions in bills that he might otherwise support. At other times, Mr. Obama voted present on questions that had overwhelming bipartisan support. In at least a few cases, the issue was politically sensitive.
Not every state allows the “present” vote, but then hardly any other state can compete with Illinois for pure corruption.
If there was any doubt about voting present being Obama’s mother’s skirt, it was dispelled by on the debt his vote against raising the debt ceiling in 2006. Back then Obama said this:
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
He voted against it, knowing that he could vote against it. When pressed to explain the vote, Robert Gibbs mumbled
Gibbs said Obama’s vote was not necessary at the time to secure passage of the bill, which squeaked by 52-48, and that he was using the occasion to call for fiscal discipline.
Thus Obama could stake out the noble position without any political risk and without having to be point man.
Just like now.
The assertions that Obama was being “deliberate” and/or “thoughtful” with regard to Libya are ridiculous. They are the pathetic efforts of liberals to cover for this complete absence of leadership.
The need for a no-fly zone is past. It’s too late. Way too late.
But only then does Air Obama take to the skies.
The world called the US at 3 AM and there was no one to answer. The world was looking for a leader and none was to be found.
France took the lead in the concern over Libya. France’s Sarkozy and England’s Cameron have left Obama biting at their heels.
France is to host talks on Saturday with senior politicians to discuss what course of action to follow in Libya. The UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron says Britain will send fighter jets “in the coming hours” to enforce the no-fly zone.
Only then in the shade of political safety did “Brackets” Obama make an appearance.
On March 12 the Arab League voted to support a no-fly zone and asked the UN to impose it.
March 12.
On March 16 Hillary Clinton called vote that a “sea change.” And still nothing happened.
So there it is.
The Arab League opened the door for Obama on March 12. They all but begged him to go to the UN and stir action.
Sarkozy and Cameron probably threw their arms into the air waiting for President Godot and decided to go without him.
Only when Gaddafi was closing in on the Benghazi finale does Barack Obama get off the recliner.
Game over, man.
If you appreciate that unique and ideal combination of ineffectiveness, meaninglessness and tardy symbolism in a President, Barack Obama is your guy.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Very well put- McCain/Palin looked really good to sensible people in ’08, and they look better and better with Obama’s near-constant bumbling, finger-pointing and golfing. George Bush on his worst day would be 50x better than Obama on a good day- if he ever had one.
Drudge is reporting that French jets are over Benghazi. It’s pretty sad when the French look bold and decisive compared to the United States. (no offense meant, Mizz Beez)
Well, one good thing came out of Obama’s dithering on Libya. Hillary announced she won’t be working for him on the off chance he get’s re-elected in 2012.
Obama did wait.
He watched the cues from his friend, King Abdullah, who leads Saudi Arabia.
I wonder if Obama is heartened by the Saudi creation of a HUGE new civilian security corps?
King Abdullah ordered the creation of 60,000 security jobs within the interior ministry,
promised more money for the religious police and,
in a sign Saudi’s ruling Sunni elite will tolerate no dissent, said the media must respect clerics.
This is a move to the right.
If becoming more fundamentally Islamic is ”reform” this is reform.
King Abdullah announced billions of dollars in handouts for his people and boosted his security apparatus.
Maybe we should pose the issues in the Middle-East and North Africa as a game and report the results on ESPN. Maybe then we can get some decisions!
What I found truly disgusting was that he was interviewed by ESPN for the Women’s NCAA brackets as well. Now, I don’t have anything against the Women’s basketball tourney. I do, however, question the decision to discuss that tournament, which doesn’t enjoy much popularity amongst the population who loves sports. No one I know goes out and fills in a tourney bracket for the women for some betting pool. And I work with women who do watch women’s BBall!
He certainly was decisive, though, in his picks. The image of Nero fiddling while Rome burns is certainly fitting for this president.
@DrJohn
One more thing. That picture! It’s been used since Obama before he was even elected. How in the world could anyone who has seen it ever question the intelligence of Sarah Palin when the bumbling fool shows up in a picture talking to the wrong end of the phone?
Has anyone ever noticed the moment this clown makes one of his ultra late asinine decisions after the worse has already occurred he immediately heads for some foreign country and lets his flacks take the hits? Bad enough he doesn’t have the balls to make a timely decision on anything other than his warped ideology, but he can’t even face the music. As it appears this guy is in a galaxy far far away or possibly practicing his putting one should never expect anything other than ridicule from around the world as to America’s leadership as there isn’t any left. This indictment is also aimed at the entrenched Republican scumbag politicians who refuse to take a stand against this Commie in Charge and his economic policies all in order to keep their phony baloney positions. Actually, I do know where he is at three am. he’s in LEFT field with the rest of the Anti-American ideals scum in leadership positions.
When I saw the title “its 3am do you know where your president is?” I thought Obama must have gotten drunk and was in jail last night.
@johngalt:
Yeah, but what I’m wondering is, what is the person on the floor next to him doing,
and why are they on the floor?
Sen. Rubio Questions Obama’s “Puzzling Inaction” Over Libya
The US is now the Junior Member of the Coalition of the Reluctant. Once a Superpower, Our Foreign Policy is dictated by the UN which is falling into League of Nations staure. The Current Regime dithered, hesitated and has become a new Graduate of the Neville Chamberlain School of Diplomacy. Incompetency and Mediocrity personified. I knew what was both possible and achievable but the outcome remains uncertain and cruise missile strikes, ala Bill Clinton, will not remove Qaddafi from power or bring back the lives that have been lost over the past two weeks. Quadafi’s ground forces are still engaging the Rebels and will continue to do so. Too little too late.
In the past hour, 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched against 20 Libyan targets from U.S. and UK naval vessels that had been prepositioned off the coast.
Apparently there was planning going on that the media wasn’t privy to. Perhaps President Obama is aware that Colonel Gadaffi is not without a television. What Gadaffi probably is without now is a functional air defense system.
@Greg: So, where was he 4 days ago? Oh, filling out the NCAA BB Brackets!
@Randy, #12:
Yep. I trust Colonel Gadaffi found all the media coverage of that both relevant and informative.
@johngalt: I’m glad to see someone mentioned the upside-down phone. I can only hope that the picture was Photoshopped. I hate to think that we are led by someone that sadly lacking in sense. Oh wait, we are. Never mind.
@ConservUSA: He certainly did! That is why he continued to kill people. Nothing happened until the French took the lead. That hasn’t happened since they deserted the Maginot line.
What has happened to Larry Sinclair?
http://www.larrysinclair.org/2011/03/11/state-county-agencies-claim-they-have-no-reports/
Top Ten most likely places to Find Obama:
1. Playing golf.
A lot of Americans wish they had the time, let alone the money, to hit the golf links twice a month. The day after the Japan earthquake and tsunami, Obama played his 61st round of golf, fewer than 26 months into his presidency.
2. Foreign travel.
All modern Presidents take foreign trips, but Obama combines pleasure with business, picking hot vacation spots such as Rio, where sightseeing will be mixed with meetings.
3. Vacations.
Obama likes to spend time on Martha’s Vineyard in August and in Hawaii for a lengthy family visit around the Christmas holiday. The family has taken a long weekend in Chicago. Also a trip out West to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. And to a beach in Florida. Plus to New York for high-society events. Nearly a dozen vacations since becoming President.
4. Dining out.
Obama likes to eat out.
His culinary exploits once inspired this headline on a blog following the first family during a Martha’s Vineyard vacation: “Obamas Depleting U.S. Lobster Supplly.”
5. Playing basketball.
Obama has a regular pickup basketball game with friends, and also played some hoops last summer with NBA stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
6. White House concerts.
Obama invites famous singers and musicians to serenade him at the White House.
The likes of Paul McCartney, Joan Baez, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, and Bob Dylan during performances honoring Motown, Broadway, and “Music that tells the story of America,” including “Songs of the Civil Rights Movement.”
7. White House theater.
The Obamas have been getting good use of the White House theater in recent months, having guests over for a Super Bowl party, movie screenings, and sporting events. During a screening of Thurgood, an HBO film about Thurgood Marshall, he shared popcorn with Al Sharpton, and for a Chicago Bulls-Charlotte Bobcats game he invited Illinois and North Carolina lawmakers over for Chicago-style hot dogs and pulled pork, with Dove bars for dessert.
8. Sporting events.
Obama likes to take in a ball game from time to time. He often snarls Washington traffic while attending basketball games at the Verizon Center or baseball at Nationals Park. Once, he briefly called the game for the TV audience. “After retirement, I’m coming after your job,” he told CBS announcer Clark Kellogg.
9. Youth sports.
I’d watch my kids play, too, btw.
During a crisis, Obama stepped in when his daughter’s basketball coach couldn’t make it to a game and coached the team himself.
10. NCAA brackets.
How much time does Obama spend before coming on ESPN to share his brackets?
I bet it is a lot.
@ Old Trooper
There you go again Old Trooper. Shoot first and ask questions later.
Clock still running on your prediction Old Trooper.
Again, another prediction. Thanks for playing!
Folks, what I say below is caustic and hard, even for me as those of you who have seen my comments would know. My apologies in advance, but I just can’t sit and listen or read the blithering idiots on the left and for that matter the rhinos and scum on the right defending an administration and it’s policies and decisions that have done more to hurt this country in the last two years (although the problem began well before that). I addressed it as an answer to one of Greg’s comments, but it’s really aimed at all of the Anti-American. no counts who seem to hate this country and everything it stands for. FA has added a new author, C.J. who is one of our soldiers. I always wonder how he and others feel about the hate that is shown for the country he and others swore to defend.
@Greg: Big deal. We shot 112 cruise missiles. What’s this? 4 weeks after this started? Who gives a damn what planning might have been done! The only reason he signed on to any action is because he was led by the nose by the biggest cowards in history the French! Better still, he probably didn’t want the fact that Hillary has balls ten times bigger than his to ruin his sad sack excuse for a Presidency. While his so called planning was going on (personally I call it “he had his head stuck up his ass and had absolutely no intention of doing anything unless forced” how many hundreds or thousands of people died in Libya and for that matter everywhere else where he chose to ignore what was going on! One cannot defend that which does not deserve defense! He has not yet taken one action that would define leadership other than to approve of the Anti_American Racist, leftist slant he so desperately adheres to as is his ideology!
Where was he at 3am? Who the hell knows? I just truly wish he wasn’t here. The man is an insult to the office of the President and our country! On top of that because of his “vote present” attitude, this country is now perceived to be weak and with a complete lack of will and leadership by the rest of the world in general! He has destroyed not only every bit of respect this country once had but has in fact made us a laughing stock! And forget the ideals the world knew this country once stood for!
We now have our leaders openly stating their Marxist ideals such as the money earned by those they deem to be rich belongs to the masses. Am I sounding a bit pissed right now? You’re damned right I am! I am sick and tired of people like you who can only spout the company line and try to defend this guy with inane nothing! No facts, just the same old liberal Bullshit!
My father, three step fathers, my brother and my son-in-law now all fought and gave their blood as have so many others over the last 220 years or more to give us the greatest country ever known. My son-in law is on his way back to Afghanistan now. when he was home we talked about the fact (As C.J. has) that the troops sense nothing but disdain and scorn from this administration, especially the CIC!
Our forefathers handed us something special and to sit here day after day having the MSM and pin headed morons doing everything in their power whether it be lies or the direct assault on the law of our land and our ideals is repugnant to me and the others who put our love of country and adherence to it’s ideals first!
All here who have seen my stuff know how I feel about this. This president is a communist and a traitor! He does not give one damn about this country. It is evident in his own words and actions and if people could get their heads out of their asses long enough to actually read his words and watch what he does, they would have to agree, that is provided they themselves were not already ideologically corrupt as are the hard left liberals as well as some of the corrupt idiots on the right!
You and others probably don’t like what I have to say above. Np surprise there. I’ve seen enough in my 60 years to realize the truth doesn’t mean anything to ideologue on either side. In all of your posts as others, all I see are the same worn out lies. I for one am tired of it!
Our country is dying before my eyes. Bit by bit our Freedoms and rights are being stripped from us. In Fl, a court has ruled for Sharia law! I sure as hell don’t see anything form the left or this Muslim oriented Racist administration or it’s blowhards questioning why anyone would allow something to upstage the law of the land! But it happened!
I want my country back! I and hopefully others refuse to back down! I and others refuse to believe the lies and deceit as put forward by this administration, the MSM and the ignorant people who defend such without realizing that one the takeover is complete, they to are expendable as has always been the case. Of course, seeing the left (and the hard right) choose to rewrite history rather then learn from it, they only know what they have been indoctrinated with.
So, here we are. I am not going to bend over and take the dry tapered corn cob up the ass as this pathetic excuse of a leader is doing. I am not going to allow them to take the rubber mallet and drive it all the way up and neither should anyone else!
What vital American national interest is served in this exchange in Libya?
How about stablized European Markets that are affected by Sweet Crude that is collected by companies from Spain or France or Sweden, which in turn is a series of Countries that consume Services seated in the United States…
I guess you didn’t think that far, did you Blast? Disrupt the European’s Fuel lines, and you distrupt American Economy by tagent connections.
@joetote, #19:
Anyone who believes that thoughtful, measured action is better in war than thoughtless, impulsive reaction. Calculated misdirection can also be exceedingly useful.
I doubt if anything today has taken Hillary Clinton by surprise. This looks quite well-played by the Obama Administration to me, both militarily and in terms of international politics.
@joetote: Why don’t you tell us what you really think! I likely would have used different words, but the thought would have been the same.
@Greg: Yes, Greg, you would think this was well thought our like most of your posts!
Mr. Irons, you have mentioned European interests, not VITAL American interests. Let them take the lead. Let them pay in blood and treasure. We have given more than our share.
Thoughtful, measured action Greg? That’s not the opinion that is being echoed in our Military, we were primed and ready to strike at Gaddafi’s main armor divisions with drones weeks ago and we missed that chance. It took the French, historically joked about as the dithering Nation, to take Political and Military actions first. A reactive attitude towards a Tyrant is a doomed attitude.
Blast, unless you’re blinded, If the European Union’s energy supplies are halted what do you think will happen to the United States Economy and Stocks? They will collapse due to the EU addressing what limited budgets they have for International Trade to addressing riots and civil discourse in their Nations. This means loss of sales and unemployement here. If you’re this stupid of how this instablity can cause damage to the US in just economic sense, don’t play the game.
@blast: There are so many ignorant people in this world who fail to understand we are in a world economy. Why do you think the stock market went down with the events in Japan? Do you really think that curtailing oil that normally goes to Europe will not affect the price of oil in the US? Europe is in American best interests!
@Mr. Irons, #26:
Weeks ago there wouldn’t have been a UN resolution, other nations ready to be the first to commit, or statements of support from other Muslim nations. There was also the possiblity that the uprising by Libya’s own people would bring Gaddafi down without outside intervention.
A knee-jerk response by the U.S. weeks ago would have put the whole thing on us, politically and militarily. We’d have taken on most of both the burden and the blame. And there would have been very little time to plan carefully.
UN Resolution or not, The French Government already had addressed and set forth supplies and men to back the Revolutionary forces fighting in Libya weeks ago as the French Government acknowledged that the Rebels fighting are the Legit Government of Libya now. Why do you think French Air Command has been exteremly detailed in their sudden No Fly Zone and anti-armor actions against Gaddafi’s forces or more importantly where our Curise missles are getting the needed cords for strikes when we don’t have ground forces to make effective target ID for strikes? French Military have taken the steps along with their Government to make an embrassment of the Obama’s Admin and the Global Scene as well. Given French ablities at the UN Security Concil, only an idiot would think the UN wouldn’t follow given how Gaddafi is seeking to halt EU’s fuel lines.
Mr. Irons
This is not a game and you sir, if you feel that war is a game… should have your head examined. If the EU vital interests are threatened… let them take the lead. If they don’t want to… that is their problem. We are already in two wars, and helping a close ally in the midst of a colossal disaster (which will effect our economy way more than some minor 2% oil disruption).
Your wanton and cavalier use of our military is no better than liberals that want to spend us into oblivion.
War is not the game I’m talking about, bub. Then again you’ve shown your ignorance of how the EU’s economies are directly tied to the United States. Sweet words won’t change that. The major reason United States did not go into a stark Depression, much to the chagrin of Obama’s Admin, is due to European trading of goods and Services that are seated State side including Information systems and software Suites along with infrastructure equipment. The EU faces higher fuel prices per Liter of gas or flat out shortages just for consumers and you’ll see riots more bloody than the Greek or Spain riots over simple Pension squables and that means the EU will have to take budget out of planned purchases of American goods and Services to quell and silence uprisings. European Businesses and even Governments that buy from the United States will have to instead buy higher priced fuel or energy bills or not get any energy to allow for digital transactions (which in a Global economy can lead to total business failure and shut down.) They either have to buy the higher priced fuel or deal with our Nation, in the face of things they’ll deal with Fuel and cut international trade.
Even your own Side has admited that the US Economy’s weakness as of now posses a very serious National Security Threat.
@Randy
The economy might be interconnected, but we are not in a world government… and the USA is not the worlds police department. Investors will have to suck it up, just as any other type of speculation. This does not rise to VITAL national interest. Keep in mind Libya produces only 2% of the worlds oil production.
A world government has jack nothing to do with Economies, Jackwagon. And this tried old bitty of, “Police department.” I hate to break it to you but Bill Clinton tried making the United States the Global Police Department and look where it got us.
Our Economical Stablity relies on the Stablity of the trade partners we deal with, and if you did not understand the United States’ current Economical model is that of Service Economy instead of Manufacturing. We rely on International Trade far more than you think, and it is a Vital part of our security at home Economicaly. Unless you haven’t been paying attention, just under Economical reasons we’ve had aggressive protests in various States. So now you’re trying to write off that our Economy and the stablity of an Allied Federation of Nations such as the EU is not a vital part of our Survival?
Are you this stupid?
@Mr. Irons, I am not you bub.
What side are you talking about?
Don’t quit your day job… you are no economist and your simplistic example is just that too simplistic. You give Libya a lot of power… after all they represent only 2% of the oil production, and the Saudi’s have the flexibility to match that. Right now speculators are driving the cost of oil up, not real shortages. Remember Japan… they are not consuming oil at previous levels. Spare crude out there.
Funny thing about so called Conservatives… they don’t follow the Constitution, they want war without a declaration of war. They want to entangle the USA in every problem under the sun. Oh… and they don’t ever pay for the wars they want. Just put this war on the old credit card huh…
Sadly to you Blast, I have been in Business school and have passed all my Economic classes including Micro/Macro/Mangerial/and Business Law. What you don’t understand is how complex and how tied together we are to the European nations thanks to various 1960’s and 70’s trade agreements to prevent the useage of M.A.D. policies (Or if you can’t understand that, to prevent the USA and USSR from nuking the hell out of each other.)
And this isn’t a Declaration of War. That falls squarely on Congress and that can easily be done even with a Democrat majority as most Democrats have been questioning Obama why he took so long in assisting an Ally seeking our Aide. The French are doing this act of War, not the United States so I don’t get your little blithering bit of, “violating the Consitution” when we’re not acting on a Declartion of War but under a previously agreed Treaty to the French to assist them in peace keeping duties (It’s that darned old NATO bit).
Libya’s oil production is only 2 percent on the Global scale, but for you to ignore that most Sweet Crude consumed by the EU is supplied by Libya, that’s rich in itself.
@Mr. Irons, you seem to have random capital letter in your comments, reminiscent to another “expert” on here. hummm..
You can make your faux argument about economic issues in this case. ‘Dithering’ around the fact that only 2% of the oil comes from Libya and world consumption is down and there are ample supplies. You did not address the Constitutional authority of President Obama to go to war without a declaration of war, and who should shoulder the costs. Shall we raise your taxes to pay for this?
And I want to add one more bit, if sweet crude from Libya is halted, where do you think that the EU will go to purchase its Sweet Crude supplies? 2 percent of Global supply is a few million or so barrels of oil, so when the EU has to now directly compete and bid against the United States against the suppliers of the United State’s sweet crude what the hell do you think is going to happen? Prices will increase here as bidding processes goes to the highest buyer due to laws of scarcity. Another factor that could impact our Gasoline/Energy prices due to what type of oils we have to refine for our Gasoline supply pending State by State due to emission laws.
If you have issues with random captial letters, I can show you an elementary room where you can just rant over childish things all you like. Your ignornace in how something like 2 Percent of global oil supply (or a few million barrels of oil that is mostly consumed by the EU) can impact the United States is a classic example of stupidity.
To add:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-countries-consume-the-most-oil.htm
2 Percent of global supply will pretty much end up meeting EU needs…
I guess you did not actually read the article you linked. Oh, and don’t forget the reduction in oil need in Japan due to the damage to their infrastructure.
Reduction of Oil in Japan? Bahahahahahahaha…
Hell’s Bells, you’re a raving fool.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12774106
To maintain Japanese power grids, they HAVE to import in oil supplies.
@Randy:
sometimes you have to stop pussy-footing around and say it like it is. I wonder how many would love to say it like Joe did, but are too afraid of the backlash. I, for one, agree with his take on barack, barry, steve or whatever his name is and what he is doing to this country. We need to be afraid, be very afraid.
@ Mr. Irons
Again you did not read.
Markets are looking at the total consumption, fuel for cars and for energy production. It will be many months before new generation capacity are put online and the additional capacity will be gas turbine.
GAS TURBINE. LNG! Do I need to spell it out Mr. Irons?
@johngalt: The picture is photoshopped…but does speak to what people think of him that he could actually have been so stupid.
@Madame DeFarge: No, it’s not so far-fetched when the man has actually said things like “57 states” and “the Austrian language”. If any conservative had said anything close to those slips, we would be hearing about it ad nauseum until the end of time. The truth to all of this is we are led by President Placeholder: A man who is happy to appear in ANY media venue in order to keep his “iconic” image in front of the public but unwilling to take an unequivocal stand on important issues unless dragged there kicking and screaming.
The following peek into Obama’s inability to make decisions is impossible for the MSM to defend. This was published everywhere across Europe over the past couple of days, which remains puzzled at the President “Present-in-Chief”. . . . . European governments “completely puzzled” about U.S. position on Libya
Hillary had no explanation, because there was none. No wonder she wants nothing more to do with this President after this posting as SOS.
If it had really been that Obama was waiting for Europe’s decision first, as is proffered by Dem trolls, then the above would never have occurred. Europe had made a decision, and was waiting for the indecisive White House to take a stand.
In future it looks like, for the next 2 years at least, that Obama will wait to get a “YES” from China, or Russia, or the European community, before making decisions. No point annoying our good and excellent friends in Beijing and Moscow.
Wow, James Raider… with the new and improved FA instant ” approval polls” for “like and dislike”, it makes me wonder who the heck is lurking out there, and why three people would “dislike” your comment?
Do you think it’s because they disagree and won’t say why? Or because they are simply unable to comprehend your commentary?
Either way, I’m feeling like an alien here…. Other than that, to the not so new or vague topic here… what is surprising?
Oh.. let me add… I’m on the quest to collect all these background “dislikes” at the moment… LOL
I have to admit that I’m experiencing some schadenfreude over this situation. It sure looks to me like “dumb old” Sarah Palin has goaded The One into totally destroying himself with his base. It’s so great to see a master at work. Nice job, Sarah!
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Enters Third War by Tommy de Seno at Ricochet:
“Good thing a Peace Prize winner is in charge.
Who can forget his beautiful words on limiting presidential war powers that gave us such hope for change to finally come to the way America waged war, like this statement on December 20, 2007:
Or this from March 27, 2007:
Or this from September 26, 2008:
Or this gem about priorities from October 2, 2002:
So, who do republicans figure we’d have borrowed the money from to finance a U.S. led invasion and occupation of Libya?
Maybe they figure this one would also pay for itself.
I am sure you are. 🙂
You have to understand, Barry was getting serious advice that you are not aware of on the issue of Libya that included a threat. did Barry want to appear to be the frog taken over by the dragon? After watching these two videos, you will know why Barry was so slow.. He was being warned very clearly. I thought that threatening the president was a crime? And also isn’t inciting a riot also a crime?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYQRPSVEE_I&NR=1
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY-_JsNrxiM
And you have to assume that Rev Wright was also on the phone with Barry…
@MataHarley: You noticed that too? It’s amazing that the same folks who bashed Bush for permanently getting rid of Saddam Hussein and crippling Al Qaeda to where they weren’t able to launch another attack on this country for 7 plus years are now thumping their chests because Obama, on the heels of the French, launched 112 cruise missiles on Qaddafi after he has taken back all but one small part of his country. Kind of like launching a cruise missile attack against empty terrorist camps in Afghanistan after numerous terrorist attacks in this country and abroad that resulted in hundreds dead and thousands wounded.
Unlike Obama’s party, I fully support our service members who were involved and do not think they are war criminals like Obama’s party referred to Afghanistan and Iraq Vets or cowards as Obama supporter Bill Maher called our pilots for bombing Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Well, another vet and James Raider, now I’m truly mystified. So many hits on another anti-Obama story, and James Raider’s comment merely echoes that the int’l community is absolutely baffled by the new stances of non-superpower leadership assumed by this current WH denizen.
And yet, at this point in time of writing, James Raider’s comment now has five “dislikes”…..
Now I wonder… just who is reading this post at all? 15-16 commenters out of 53 comments total.. most in agreement that it’s another day in Obama’s inept life as POTUS.
Yet five “dislikes” for @James Raider’s comment??
Now I’m dying of curiousity… you “dislikes”… what did you dislike? Speak up, fer heavens sake!
