Scott is on record as believing that he is; I have reserved judgment. President Obama's apparently unilateral concession to Russia in abandoning our anti-missile defense system in central Europe, with no publicly-acknowledged quid pro quo, may support the view that in international relations, at least, Obama is a fool. But we need to be fair here: it is possible that this seemingly unilateral giveaway was, in fact, a bargain, and that Obama got something from the Russians, presumably in relation to Russia's client Iran, that has not yet become public.
So this report on Hillary Clinton's trip to Russia is worrisome:
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned major powers on Wednesday against intimidating Iran and said talk of sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its nuclear programme was "premature". ...
Clinton failed to secure any specific assurances from Russia on Iran during her visit, leaving her open to criticism at home that she had not received anything from Moscow after earlier U.S. concessions on missile defence.
I'm not giving up hope yet. Maybe Obama didn't really give away the store for nothing. So far, though, there is no evidence that he got anything from Russia in exchange for his abandonment of European missile defense. Could Obama possibly be that inept a negotiator? Time will tell.
So far, it seems that Obama's smart power seems to losing all the battles, and probably the war.
Yes.
He may well be a fool if he is on America’s side. There is considerable evidence that he is, in fact, not.
Does a bear poop in the woods?
There is a thread out there where someone claims to have proof that Obama was born and/or raised in the USSR. Could it have something to do with keeping that hush hush? That is if you believe that story. I’m inclined to at least consider it. Hell anything’s possible with this usurper.
Russia? Now we’re getting closer to George Soros’ homeland. Budapest, Hungary I believe? Hmmmm..
The thread i’m referring to came out a couple weeks ago and then again yesterday. I’ll look for it and put out the link.
Ditto Yes!
Trick Question and improperly stated.
Fools are Obama and Foolish Obama’s accept awards for doing absolutely .... Nothingl
The radical Left or as they prefer to be named, Progressives; are the worst and most dangerous of fools. As for America; there can be no ‘fool me once’; ‘fool me twice’. Our literal future is on the line.
Anyone who says “I’m not giving up hope yet” is as foolish as the fool that is the subject of this discussion.
More of a Joker.
Wish it was only that O was a fool. He’s quite determined to destroy everything good about America and remake it in the image of Chicago politics.
Does anyone have a link to the vanity post from yesterday wherein someone posted a memo that someone wrote about a husband and wife bragging in the USSR that a child was being raised in the USSR to be the future Communist President of the USA?
According to that thread the wife said that the man was already born and was black and would be a closet communist and his name was “Barack”.
I’m looking but i can’t find it.

Well, they did outbid the Chineese, otherwise we'd have cankles as PIAPS POTUS.
