PRESIDENT OBAMA’S acknowledgment that “we don’t have a strategy yet” in Syria understandably attracted the most attention after his perplexing meeting with reporters Thursday. But his restatement of the obvious was not the most dismaying aspect of his remarks. The president’s goal, to the extent he had one, seemed to be to tamp down all the assessments of gathering dangers that his own team had been issuing over the previous days.
This argument with his own administration is alarming on three levels.
The first has to do with simple competence. One can only imagine the whiplash that foreign leaders must be suffering. They heard U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power denounce Russia as “today . . . they open a new front . . . Russia’s force along the border is the largest it has been . . . the mask is coming off.” An hour later, Mr. Obama implicitly contradicted her: “I consider the actions that we’ve seen in the last week a continuation of what’s been taking place for months now...it’s not really a shift.”

Correcting the damage done will take decades.
The Left never admits that the Right was right. That would be heresy to their religion of Marxism.
Zer0 is too busy running the Tee Party.
Correcting the damage will cost millions of human lives.
IMHO, 0 will go down in history as the ‘Neville Chamberlain’
of the 21st century.
You are totally correct. And the dude still has two more years to drag us down even further.
“President Obama”, what a disgrace to the office of the presidency, totally incompetent, anti American, in way over his head. Have the American people learned a lesson? Nah, Hillary looms in the wings to continue the further destruction.
Check out British PM David Cameron’s anti terrorism speech, at least the Brits have a leader,.......we don’t!
Conservatives want everyone to prosper. Liberals want everyone to suffer.
Not much else we need to understand.
Anyway, these media groups with their shameless left wing bias and propagandizing, deserve a large share of the blame in all that has gone wrong that could have been prevented. Their spin, coverup, propaganda for this administration helped them to get through 2008 and 2012.
Hey, media! When you look at the people dying in Iraq, Ukraine, and Syria, please take a close look at yourselves in the mirror. A lot of that is on you. Does defeating the republicans make up for all that? You foisted the Jay-Vee team on this country.
The rats are the neighborhood drug dealers
So where are the headlines saying how Merkle needs to focus on how Germany is going to face global challenges or how Hollande needs to focus on how France is going to face global challenges or how Napolitano needs to focus on how Italy is going to face global challenges? The whole world is going to hell, Europe has a bigger stake in the region than we do, yet we’re the ones expected to pull the chestnuts out of the fire.
Bammy already has his Pieces Prize.
“Liberals want everyone to suffer.”

No, they want only those evil rich white people to suffer. You see, the prosperous ones are the cause of all the problems in this world. If you quit school, have no job and can’t afford a new big screen color tv, then it’s the fault of those evil rich white people, and they should be made to foot the bill for that big screen tv, or you should be allowed to cause a riot and loot it from the store.
Of course, if you’re liberal and a rich white person, then you should be able to take advantage of all the tax loopholes. Let someone else pay.
It’s not going to be 2 more years. Obama is doing everything he can to hand this nation over to islam NOW.
We also need to understand the goals of Obama and his fellow-muslims. He is assisting their evil goals in plain sight. So bold that folks refuse to believe his evil.
The only things that I can think of that Clown Prince nobama “needs” is either to resign immediately or to be placed in prison for his many, many crimes.
