Putin Imposes His Own Reset On A Helpless Obama
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 1 October 2015, 09:56 AM ET | ANDREW MALCOLM

Posted on 10/02/2015 1:31:21 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

Almost exactly three years ago a haughty President Obama mocked his Republican presidential rival, Mitt Romney, in their third campaign debate:

"Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not Al Qaida. You said Russia. In the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years."

In the 36 intervening months we've witnessed countless examples of the perspicacity of Romney and the naive guilelessness of Obama. Obama misread Vladimir Putin's intentions. Obama called ISIS a JV team. He overlooked Iran's deceits to do a desperate deal.

Evidence against trusting Putin is overwhelming. His demeaning PR rescue of a bumbling Obama from the American's own silly "red line" threat over Syrian chemical weapons. Russia's annexation of Crimea. Its underwriting of armed rebellion in eastern Ukraine. Its successful defiance of economic sanctions. Its arms sales to Iran. And in recent weeks Russia's armed occupation of parts of Syria, construction of a major airbase and upgrading of a port all allegedly to help fight ISIS.

Wednesday came the worst Obama humiliation yet. A Russian general delivered to a surprised U.S. military attache in Baghdad an abrupt diplomatic notice that within the hour Russian war planes would begin bombing in Syria and a demand that U.S. forces stay out of the way. They did. And we did.

And the world in general saw once again who's taking charge in that volatile region to occupy Obama's willful power vacuum. And John Kerry is left pleading with Russia's foreign minister for a meeting.

All this just 48 hours after Obama and Putin met at the United Nations.

He just appointed another flamboyant closet homosexual who has a family and pretends to be straight. If John B. King Jr. is STRAIGHT, I’ll eat my shorts.

Don’t worry Putin will get around to bombing ISIS too.

These unaffiliated rebels are still comrades in arms with ISIS, and groups of them have declared ISIS allegiance after receiving US support.

There are no good guys fighting in Syria, but Putin and Assad are far better than ISIS and affiliates.

It’s fun to watch but he’s still dangerous.

Baraq, Pelosi, and Reid have made the term “lame duck President from a minority Congressional party” completely obsolete.

He’s defensive, angry, very uncomfortable, in denial, mean spirited, deceptive, using Taqiyya and lying constantly, etc.

Just his body language is telling.

I don’t know all the terms but the evil bastard is displaying all of the traits of an evil bastard.

I listened to part of O’s presser at 4 pm. The man is a fool.
He really seems to think he has been a good President.

Unstable?? Perhaps, but no doubt Obama is pissed. He is not getting his way, is looking inept, and the world is seeing what a failure he is. He really thinks his failures are everyone else’s fault though. One of the worst press conferences he has had.

Putin told Obama to bend over and all Obama did was to ask him “how far?”.

"And Russian planes didn’t really bomb ISIS. They didn’t fly anywhere near ISIS territory."

Hey Child...they are *all* ISIS. Grow the eff up.

That was a continuation of the article.

From what I hear,

Putin is first going after the Chechens in Syria—the most dangerous of the anti-Assad bunch.

0bama is merely weak and incompetent.

He is merely weak and incompetent. He is also a puppet who does what he is told.

Because he is a malignant narcissist, he believes that he is really in charge, and that the words he reads from his teleprompter are actually his words.

To me, he comes across as a dim-bulb, who actually believes the Left-Wing propaganda; that the world will be a safer, better place, if America is brought to its knees economically, militarily, socially and politically.

He simply does and says whatever Jarrett instructs him to do or say.

The only question is whether Jarrett is an actual shot-caller, or whether she is simply a buffer between Obama and the One-World-Cabal that owns him.
