Throw our allies under the bus. Apologize to our enemies. Foreign policy, Obama-style.

The word sounds like it could also be the name of some jungle dwelling animal-a small lemur or monkey...

Speaking of Libyan violence
Obama assumes his usual pose-
A distant, marmoreal attitude
As he gazes down his nose

He reads from his teleprompter
A speech we recognize as stock
And turns on the phony empathy
As he keeps one eye on the clock

He’s got to be in Vegas today,
There’s no time to be concerned-
He’s too busy with his campaign
To mend bridges he has burned

Actually, it looks like Jimmah Carter style part two..... to me.

I wonder when they're going to send the Helicopters in for their "ill fated" mission to save every employee in any embassy in every Moooo-slime Country.

Exactly.

It looks like something from Life of Brian that women would wear to a stoning.

The first thing I thought when I saw that was that it must be the newest attire for chic bank robbers-worn with designer shades, of course...

Obama moved Las Vegas event inside to smaller venue due to “bad weather”. LMAO Rush saying beautiful weather today and tonight.

I am really having a hard time being cheerful and upbeat following what has been happening at our embassies and the lily-livered apologists who should all be fired from our state dept. If these actions do not sway the nation to vote for an effective leader, what will it take?
In other news, zerobama strikes a marmoreal pose on his trip to Vegas and his fake interview with Letterman, another class A jerk.

America! Wake up! WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE???

Moving his events to a smaller venue and using weather as a reason seems to have become a habit with him. I’m half expecting a bunch of people at one of his events to start chanting “Carter, Carter”-the similarities are becoming constant...

Great rant! You’ve channeled the thoughts of most sentient Americans, i.e., those who are not liberals.

I’m kind of sad. My best friend Paula’s mom died on Monday afternoon. She was 90 yo. She was kind of the last living link to my parents generation. Paula and i have known each other for 50 years, since we started at St James the Greater elementary school at age 6, in Apollo PA. So her parents were friends with mine, my godmother was a beautician and did her mom’s hair as well as my mom’s etc. Since we will be in LV, i won’t be able to go up for the funeral, and i regret that.

Rush just had a good caller. She pointed out that Obama killed Osama and was spiking the football....mobs were chanting “we are all Osama” at embassy. So, it’s Obama’s fault, not some movie. Perfect. Just perfect.
