    Somehow, taking a college trip to Pakistan, living in Indonesia for four years as a child, and having poor relatives in Africa convinced Obama that he had the necessary gravitas to engage in foreign policy on behalf of the worlds only superpower. 
Obamas grandiosity surpasses mere cockiness and is unseemly, if not dangerous. That same grandiosity is exactly what I saw in Trumps tweet about the Isis attacks on Christians in Pakistan. Their rhetoric is different, but their over-confidence in their own unproven abilities is strikingly similar.

    Obama’s definition of resolve would be different from ours. Obama would prefer the destruction of the USA as we know it.

    Nonsense. What Trump is saying is that none of the others running have the temerity to stand up to ISIS, period.

    "Obama said, 
foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain. "
 
 Translation: He does what he's told or reads the entrails.

    cruise and hidi are globalists and will sell out our country’s sovereignty, given the chance.

    True. My point in this post was to compare what we knew about obama in 08 vs what we know about DJT in 16.

    Ha! LOL, that’s a great video.
When I signed up for FR all those years ago, I really didn;t give much thought to choosing a user name.
And now, I’m stuck with it.

    We know now that he takes all of his orders from valerie jarrett. And, anyone who thinks he isn’t fulfilling their Leftist vision of utopia isn’t paying attention.
But, back in 08, nobody knew that. And, that is the point of this article.
Thanks for your comment.

Well, what you are saying may well be true, and I think that is a very reasonable interpretation. The questions that I still have about DJT are primarily that so many of his statements and pronouncements require this kind of broad, after-the-fact interpretation by others. And, seldomly from DJT himself. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Nonsense!
Trump, as a business man, is familiar with and dealt with foreign countries and he knows how to put the interests of the US first.

 Yes, he is a businessman, and he brings a completely different mindset to DC.
 He has done business in foreign countries, but only in a business capacity. He faces a steep learning curve. I hope he is as quick a learner as his supporters believe him to be. As far as putting the interests of the US first, I do hope you're right.
 Thanks for your response.

 I absolutely know it. 
 
 If you are willing to see the current relationship of cruise and the boosches (including neil, the savings-and-loan scammer), hidi and goldman sux, the former relations between cruise and GWBoosch (extensive, including 2000 campaign), and the statements about the new world order by George the elder (CIA), you'll know it too. 
 
 You're most welcome.

    Heidi with her CFR membership and Teddy with his push for greater H1-B visa quotas are just a tip of the iceberg in selling us out.
BTW - saw an article today stating Teddy’s Washington phone number was found in the phone bank data for the Ashley Madison “escort” business.
What a bunch of creeps.

    Considering that Trump was advocating the plan that Syria, the Kurds and Russian used to beat ISIS before Russia got involved, I think he can claim he has the right idea on the subject. The Russians took the oil wealth away from ISIS and the Kurds shut the border from Turkey. Without the oil wealth ISIS can’t pay their fighters and without Turkey they can’t get replacement fighters for the people who run away. ISIS now runs away when the Syrian army attacks.
