Obama: Russia's Proposal is Significant, but I'm Skeptical

President Barack Obama’s media blitz began on Monday evening, as he gave interviews to six television networks in which he presented his case on Syria.

In his interview with NBC News, Obama called a Russian proposal for Syria to turn over control of its chemical weapons to international monitors in order to avoid a military strike a “potentially positive development” that could represent a “significant breakthrough.”

At the same time, he said, he remains skeptical that the Syrian government would follow through on its obligations based on its recent track record.

“Between the statements that we saw from the Russians-- the statement today from the Syrians-- this represents a potentially positive development,” said Obama. “We are going to run this to ground. John Kerry will be talking to his Russian counterpart. We're going to make sure that we see how serious these proposals are.”

Putin’s proposal won’t put radical muslims in power.

“..he remains skeptical ..”

I believe the nation remains skeptical of anything and everything the Obama administration does or says.

Of course you’re skeptical of an adult.

You adolescent prig.

Just cuz you can beat your kids at tic tac toe doesn’t make you a tactical.

Putin is playing 3D Chess.

You suck at Chinese checkers.

Obama has an itchy trigger finger.

I wonder, does he feel froggy?

Obama: Russia's Proposal is Significant, but it requires an act of leadership on my part which is something I am not capable of delivering. So I will feign skepticism as I continue to do nothing and pass it off as 'leading from behind'.

“We are going to run this to ground."

Most of his deep thinking is just pablum and cliche.

Apparently nobody gives a rat’s ass if the Al Quida rebels have chemical weapons. There is much room for mischief.

Putin is jerking President Pretentiousness around with both hands. “Watch, Lyudmila. Next, I will make him say that we have discussed this insane idea many times in the past.”

Obama’s interest in invading non-enemy Syria has nothing to do with Syria, poison gas, or children.

Obama’s interest in bombing non-enemy Syria has everything to do with creating a long-lasting, controversial, DISTRACTION for Congress in order to keep Congress from defunding Obama”care”/Boehnerkare.

Obama’s “Red Herring” for the 9-11 Benghazi Massacre Coverup was Susan Rice’s fake Video story.

Obama’s “Red Herring” for distracting Congress until Obama”care”/ Boehnerkare kicks in October 1 is Obama’s “Crossing HIS personal Red Line” distraction speech.

Obama speaks only for Obama, not the US Federal Government or America.

REMEMBER BENGHAZI !

_____________________________________

“Jellyfish Spine” Boehner as Speaker of the House is essential to Obama’s continued unchallenged destruction of the US Constitution.

Nothing will change as long as cave-in artists Boehner and Cantor are in leadership roles in the US House of Representatives.

If Boehner is replaced as Speaker with a fighter such as Col. Allen West, then the Articles of Impeachment for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, can be quickly issued.

The problem is not with Obama, as he is just doing what Communist Tyrants are trained to do.

The problem is not with Boehner, as he loves to lose and wallow in the disgrace of being the worst Speaker of the House, EVER.

The problem lies with our sorry, spineless, RINOs in the House who refuse to replace Boehner with a proven fighter.

BTW, the members of the House can choose anybody to be their Speaker, even if that person is not a current Member of the House.

Tick-tock, long-time House RINOs, tick-tock - - - - .

_____________

Obama and Holder are publicly speaking about their ‘plan of the week’ that are just more smokescreen distractions to divert attention away from the incompetent manner Obama has handled his day job.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Tyrant Obama’s current talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:
* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use of Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress.

REPLACE sniveling coward Speaker Boehner with a FIGHTER!

It is time to IMPEACH Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro.
_______________________

Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, (aka Barry Soetoro), continues his unopposed efforts to expand Totalitarian Obamanation in Liberty-based America.

Where are the Republican opponents of Tyrant Obama?

Why have the Articles of Impeachment for Tyrant Obama not been issued by US House Speaker Boehner, or Pro-Welfare Republicans Cantor or Ryan?

Have House and Senate Pro-Welfare Republicans formed a cave-in pact with Pro-Welfare Democrats to protect Tyrant Obama?

The main thing that Speaker Boehner is afraid of is being blamed for doing his job.

Speaker Boehner’s job now is to shut down the NON-ESSENTIAL parts of the US Federal Government until Obama’care’ is ABOLISHED, and keep it shut down for however long it takes.

Obama will continue to ruin America as long as Boehner is Speaker of the US House of Represenatives.

Four + years of Boehner has proven Boehner to be unfit to combat Tyrant Obama.

It is now up to the Members of the House to replace Boehner so that the new Speaker can shut down the non-essential parts of the US Federal Government ASAP in order to ABOLISH Obama’care.’

Bashar al-Assad has a critical weapon that the rebels fighting against him don’t have — the superior intelligence of his chief supporter Vladimir Putin.

The rebels’ supporter Barack Obama is, on the other hand, a fool.

Unless the U.S. actively aids the rebels, even by firing an ‘’unbelievably small,’’ teeny-tiny missile at something in Syria, the rebels’ hopes will be doomed, yet how can Barack Obama, who is using the pretext of a heinous, morally obscene chemical-weapons attack by Syria not accept Syria’s offer to relinquish all of its chemical weapons?

Obama and the rebels have been checkmated.

Obama will continue to talk tough in the days to come, but in the end, there will be no military strike against Syria.

As others already pointed out, better not let Syria distract us from the domestic issues.
