This is what happens when you take an immature little boy and give him a real man’s job. The whole world is laughing at us for electing this imbecile.

If there is a Dork Hall of Fame, Obama would be elected in his first year of eligibility. There would be a 110 ft tall statue of him out front and it would be named after him.

...I assume you don’t track military spending, the size of our military, or the equipment that are military now is left with as closely as some people do.
Do you REALLY THINK we could cut military spending in half, over the past 10 years, and not pay a price for it?

Russia isn't going to clean up any mess. Russia is going to solidify the leadership of Assad, and will destroy anyone else. If ISIS wants to continue attacking other areas and leaves Syria alone, Russia has no problem with this. If the United States keeps arming groups opposed to Assad, Russia will destroy them.
This is something out of the Godfather. If ISIS has goals that don't conflict with Russia and Syria, Russia will not get involved in fighting ISIS.

It's worth noting the contradiction in the statement as well:
This is not some superpower chessboard contest. And anybody who frames it in that way isnt paying very close attention to whats been happening on the chessboard"
So, O, "it's not a chess match, if you think it is, your not paying attention to the chess match?" Is that it?
The guy can't stop himself from double-speak because he thinks in double-think.

I Think Obama has run our troops ragged and turned his back on them after they secured the position.

Which is a pretty timely conclusion for somebody who just:
Sacrificed his bishop,
Prostituted his queen,
Cut off funding for his knight,
Had the EPA condemn his rook,
and is running low on pawns!

Obama insisted during an afternoon news conference at the White House. ....This is not some superpower chessboard contest. And anybody who frames it in that way isnt paying very close attention to whats been happening on the chessboard"........

That would be one of the few sane things Obama has done during his mis-rule. So it probably won’t happen.

"After being checkmated", Obama says Syria 'is not some superpower chessboard contest' Lazy, stupid, ignorant, petulant little boy is playing tiddlywinks while his opponents are playing chess.
This is what happens to a nation when you allow the liberal media to elect a childish prissy moron.
