Obama Hails US Leadership As Coalition Jets Strike Isis In Iraq and Syria
Martin Pengelly 27 September 2014
America is leading the world in the fight to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as Isis, Obama said, adding: I made it clear that America would act as part of a broad coalition, and we were joined in this action by friends and partners, including Arab nations.
Obama worked to build the coalition and gain backing for the strikes in Syria at the United Nations in New York this week, chairing a special meeting of the security council. In a speech to the general assembly, he vowed to tackle the cancer of violent extremism.
Strikes in Syria began on Tuesday; more than 200 strikes have been carried out in Iraq since 8 August. Isis fighters have created a proto-state spanning the Syria-Iraq border, killing thousands; militants have also beheaded two American journalists and a British aid worker, provoking widespread revulsion.

Obama hails himself for the purpose of appearances.
.... I think he is beginning to feel the energy from the coming rise in his approval ratings and subsequent media fawning.
It’s a wonder he doesn’t need a cast, after stroking himself on the back so much. He has had years of practice though. He’s obviously very practiced.
In a speech to the general assembly, he vowed to tackle the cancer of violent extremism.
Note to Obama: it’s metastasizing in a mosque near you.
When are you going to cut it out?
He is not hailing America, he is hailing himself!
what a putz
“The President of the United States decides that the true cause of the Great Depression (raging when the film was released) is a loss of “optimism” as a result of a plot by financiers and bankers who are getting rich from the Depression. The President then appoints Lawrence Cromwell as secretary for the newly created Department of Amusement. Cromwell creates an army of entertainers and sends them out across the country. Much of the action centers around Cromwell auditioning acts in his office (with interruptions from janitor “George Bernard Shaw” played by Steppin Fetchit). At the end, as a musical production number breaks forth, Cromwell looks out of his office window and sees the Depression literally, instantaneously lift.” Wikipedia
Plot from a 1934 movie STAND UP AND CHEER. Obama added the minstrel show in the White House.

OdumBO knows no fault too little to blame on others, no good news too slight to take credit for. In all circumstances, it is the other way around.
