President Obama Needs To Focus On How The United States Can Meet Global Challenges

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.

Dare not print such hyperbole a month before the 2012 election. The WAPOs failure to accept part of the blame for putting 0bama in-charge is sickening.

I don’t know about you guys, but it actually makes me quite angry to see the Post address his flaws now.

Who didn’t see this coming, and yet they blew so much smoke that most people on the left had no clue what an empty suit this guy was.

They thought we were just playing politics.

The Post has operated with reckless abandon. They aren’t the only ones. Cable television has been very problematic as well for the most part.

You are right on target! Now the whole country suffers. They wanted him for his pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage stances and to change the federal judiciary forever. That they got, the country inherited an unholy mess with national security implication for the US and the world.

Liberals like to brag about how smart they are. But it’s taken some of them 6 years to realize the Obama is a fool. The rest still haven’t realized it.

“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.”

The fact it attracted the media’s attention is not what I’m worried about. Our president effective told ISIS that he has no plan. Good job. Way to lead, Tiger Woods wannabe. If you had a son, would he look like ISIS?

He also told the world that ISIS cannot be defeated. I’ll bet ISIS loved that and will use it as. recruitment tool.

The problem 0 has is that his staff has checked out.

They are spending more and more time on:
How to cash in after 0’s term.It takes time to find the right revolving door,and time to find the right publisher for your tell all book.

So, look for more astonishing gaffs from 0 as he stands alone with no puppet masters to pull the strings.

Bammy is the most knowledgeable and insightful person in the room. Just ask him.

The problem is ... social media.

Obama actually said that recently. At least it’s no longer George W’s fault...

Only challenge King Putt is concerned with is getting out of a sand trap.

MSM coming out with stories about how incompetent The King is now?
I expected as much, just not this soon.
We'll get the word on his being a poor choice for president. Then, with their heads held high, the MSM can crow that they covered both sides of the debate. A conscience clearing episode, 8 years too late though.

At the same time, they will be endorsing Joe Biden in 2016 because of his 'experience'.

"Wow. This from the editorial board of the WaPo?"

This is standard. The WaPo editoral board is controlled by the NeoCons. WaPo has numerous NeoCons writing.

Several media commentators have expressed the view that The Post's editorial position under Hiatt has moved towards a neoconservative position on foreign policy
