Geesh, not only does BO get ZERO respect on the world stage, now the world is mocking him!!! http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/03/russian-deputy-pm-laughs-at-obamas-sanctions/ I guess he should have determined whether or not these Russians actually held assets in the US before threatening to seize them, huh?
Who is rooting for the enemy? I want to see Putin smacked down as much as the next guy but, so far, Putin is outmaneuvering Obama at every turn. Come on, Obama! Do something substantial. Rah! Rah! Rah!
The republican party platform should just be truthful for once and say "We don't have answers", instead of the typical "Obama-bad, mmmm-k?"
Rooting for the enemy? Nope. Just wishing we had a leader that was taken seriously on the world stage. If BO had any credibility we would have never been in this situation in the first place (much less have these idiots asking what we would do now).
Again, what do suggest Obama do? Drill for oil? Cut Welfare? School vouchers? >>>>>Insert GOP platform here<<<<<<. I keep asking and I keep hearing crickets. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain.. and most fools do. ~Dale Carnegie
Remember, he's an American (specifically: a republican American) who believes the World respects Obama less than before. That is different than what the World's opinion actually is. One thing is clear: republicans have an immense hatred for anyone who is President that is not republican. Hatred comes easy to them, and they enjoy spreading it.
You want someone else to figure out how to get us out of the mess BO has created? This reminds me of something that happened on the farm recently. I had a guy out doing some work & when he left I told him to go back out one way because by going the other way he would get stuck in a muddy ditch. Well, he didn't listen & ended up getting stuck in the ditch...then he expected me to get him out of the muddy ditch. Well, BO got us stuck in the muddy ditch so maybe it should be incumbent upon him to get us un-stuck...don't come begging the other side for guidance now!
Not set "red line" (aka demands) for people to cross without any consequences. Then he sets another "red line" and watches it be crossed. etc. and so on. He would be much better off if he just shut up.
As usual, the fools can only criticize and blame without an alternative. I'm just so unsurprised again.
You have absolutley no clue as to the difference between proactive & reactive, do you? Typical of your ilk.
So far I have told you what Romney would have done to improve the situation. I have said what Obama has done wrong. Just because you thing liberalism and Obama are perfect does not mean you are right. Just ask the Ukrainians, the Egyptians, the Israelis, the Iraqis, etc.
Hindsight? Are you really that blind? Who didn't know that Putin (and Syria previously) would march right across BO's latest red line and BO would sit idly by? You say it's hindsight but most saw it coming. You have actually become a sterotype of the sadly comical, "BO walks on water" segment of the out of touch radical far left.
Stephen Blank, senior fellow for Russia at the American Foreign Policy Council and a former professor of National Security Studies at the Army War College, said that Putin “counted on the weakness, irresolution and confusion of NATO and Obama and, sad to say, he was right.”- NBC News report
I personally don't care what opinions you have. Your opinions are steeped in lies, Right-wing propaganda, ignorance, and a history that has always proved your position wrong from slavery, to civil rights, to women's rights, to gay rights, and an endless list of anti-progressive positions too long to list in any one thread. You're just wrong again and again and never learn from the dust bin of history you continually end up in. You will lose to reason every single time and this time will be no different. You'll stomp around puff out your chest and make a lot of noise but in the end when all is said and done, we will progress and your opinions will be discarded and forgotten. The progressive movement in this country is like a train. You can either get on board, get left behind, or get run over but progress is still an inevitability you can't stop. Youth proves this ever generation if only you weren't too dumb to notice. Why do you think that the youth vote overwhelmingly supports Democrats? Your ilk is dying faster than you can add new voters and that is what all the noise is about. Nobody makes as much of a fuss as those on the way out. Welcome to irrelevancy, population YOU and shrinking.
Lincoln wouldn't recognize that crazy clown car of Republicans that exist today. If you think the Republican Party is that same as it was a 150 years ago, you are even dumber than I can imagine. And I can imagine dumb after listening to you 3 pretty accurately. If this is as deeply as your knowledge of the Republican party goes, you are willfully ignorant of even basic history. We have Republicans today saying that is OK for businesses to deny black people service. This wouldn't have been an opinion of Lincolns. The Republican Party is more akin to Fascists than Lincoln. Maybe if you put an SS uniform on Lincoln and a Hitler mustache you'd be a little closer to Lincoln but that is about as near as you are to him today. View attachment 2354
