>>I don’t know what Mr. Gardiner’s view was prior to Obamalamadingdong’s election(s), but I will say this: the oh-so-progressive Euro-weenies begged us to put this fraud in the White House, all the while that true Americans tried to tell them otherwise. So any complaints they have now, they can suck up with some raw eggs. Europe, you got what YOU wanted, now STFU!

It’s as if the kids in the family voted out their parents and replaced them with someone (other teenagers) who promised no curfew, no homework, no broccoli. At first it all seemed like fun and games. They’d gotten rid of those horrible, ignorant, mean parents. But now, when there is a serious problem (no income to pay the bills, house needs repair, threats from bullies) there is no one in charge with any ability, intelligence, strength, or even common sense to deal with the problem.

Barack Obama is proving an embarrassing amateur on the world stage even compared to George W. Bush Jimmy Carter.

There, fixed the title.

Bush was no amateur.

I sure wish she was in the cat bird seat.

Sarah has a pair, unlike our current ball-less fem-leader.

Madam Thatcher proved that ovaries can be just as formidable as testicles with the right person in possession.

We need a leader who has a pair, be it either.

The two Vietnams plus lead us into the end game of a full-fledged totalitarian police state. All it was going to take was one more tyrant and the sheeple would line up half-naked to walk through cancer-machines, seeing pedophiles grope their kids, watching elder-abuse in public, stripped of all dignity. And now, no more bags at football games and everyone must be disrespected as if they are off to prison. Yet the fools of this country continue to line up and take it, even as BO escalates the police state.

We now have the ultimate ‘affirmative action’ hire...

Which has nothing to do with color, just with PC programs that pander to inferiors of color.

Can you imagine Allen West leading America ? Or Herman Cain ? Or Walter Williams ?

Those are black men with intelligence, courage, moral convictions, and BALLS.

Let's never lose sight of our true enemy: slimy PC communist liars. Our current one is not fit to lead a Sunday School, by far.

PeeWee actually showed up for work. Obamuzzie is his own special kind of incompetent dumbass. Comparing him to others is an insult to others no matter the low grade condition of the “other.”

I believe those rounds that they launch in the video - the one with the blue heads - are propane bombs.

I believe that the Syrian rebels have indeed been using chemical weapons - I also believe that they (perhaps inadvertently) poisoned themselves and their neighbors. But I don’t think that that video in your link (interesting as it is!) shows proof of chemical weapon use.

http://rt.com/news/rebel-tunnel-damascus-chemical-940/ is more like it. There’s also a video on the page which is well worth our time.

Hope this proves helpful.

I never implied Obama was an empty suit, I say he is not.

Obama is the worst catastrophe that could have been shoved down the throats of feckless American voters.

George W. Bush was of no help to this sick democracy.

There’s a heck of a lot of “poking” coming from the direction of the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies that should have been eliminated years ago, but were allowed, encouraged and frankly defended by moderate RINO Republican leaders.

I still remember Rush Limbaugh’s conversation back in the W Bush presidency with Ed Gillespie, a White House aide at the time.

Rush suggested getting rid of federal government departments like Energy and Education and Gillespie said “that’s not going to happen”.

Its not just Obama’s push towards a totalitarian state that is the problem, it is the GOP leadership pretending with words to oppose him on Obamacare, but unwilling to take meaningful action.

Completely! In my opinion, we do just have a one-party system. Although they manage to fool people on both sides into thinking it’s still a two-party system.

Bears repeating.

Moreover, Vichy GOP "leadership" is hostile toward conservative Republican factions which oppose the Kenyan's policies AND agenda.

This renders the GOP the "Opposition Party" in name only.

This is not to take away from Bush, because his international instincts were fairly decent. The thing with him was that he augmented his already decent outlook, with advisers who were fairly sharp on the international scene. They didn’t make big blunders because they paid attention to protocol.

Obama starts off from the vantage point of being a total idiot. He has advisers who are hardly more informed than he is, and in a number of instances aren’t even as savvy as he is.

Obama and Clinton like it that way because they don’t get challenged as often. Put idiots around you, and you come of looking like the smartest guy in the room.

That’s pretty scarey when we’re talking John Kerry and Fritz Hagel.

I see it more as a matter of “buyer’s remorse”...Obama sold the Democrats (and anyone else who voted for him) a bill of goods that is radically different from what he actually delivered. Just remember...the way the snake got Eve to eat that apple was by being charming as he slithered down the tree.
