Another prime example of how well socialism works.

Margaret Thatcher is known to have said, "Socialism works until you run out of other peoples money".

After doing some research, that phrase is not exact, but she said similar in an interview in 1976: "Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them."

I was never so proud in my life when serving in Aviation Navy while Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher stood against the "evil empire" and eventually brought the Berlin wall down.

Now what do we have as a President of the USA and a Prime Minister of England? Appeasement and feckless leadership from both that is allowing the ISIS savages to advance and even allowing them in our two nations. Reagan/Thatcher would never have allowed that to happen.

Plus, we wouldn't be playing checkers with Iran's Mullahs while they play chess. They were both leaders of the highest caliber and kept the world in check through force and non-compromising diplomatic efforts. Remember, "Trust but verify" by Reagan? Under Obama it's, "Trust and please like me", only.

History will not be kind to Obama. The academia types can re-write history all they want, but the truth will prevail. Barack Hussein Obama is the Neville Chamberlain of our age and even worse with his bowing to so many foreign potentates. He's an affirmative action punk who is way over his head regarding international matters.

It's said daily from the right and some left media that Obama has alienated our allies and encouraged our enemies. It's a fact that no matter how much his handlers try to spin it.

My prediction: The Iran talks will fail no matter how many extentions occur. If Obami/Kerry (I got 3 purple hearta as in many month> keep backing off from their inspection requirements, there is no way the feckless Congress will approve such a treay. And yes, It's treaty.
