We had guys in the Pacific that took on battle-hardened Japanese while they were outnumbered!

But we are now reduced to f*cking hashtags and this ass saying that some low-rent kidnappers are too much to handle.

The Impostor KNEW the girls would be taken.

The NSA and Eschelon monitor everything

I’m sure it gives Boko warm fuzzies to know our Putz in Chief has already given up on any attempt to fight them.

“No American security operation can eradicate the threat posed by” Boko Haram.”

No. He didn’t really say that, did he? He equated rescuing these girls with improving education in Nigeria? I believe that is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read that a President has said. The man is a moron. Who has he got running his TelePrompTer?
