Ask, Osama Bin Laden, um...Osama Obama...., says Teddy Kennedy (You Tube classic)

[BenLurkin]

More likely he’ll lip lock Bashar Ahmad.

Hussein is definitely more of a catcher than a pitcher.

[Brilliant]

“That’s what I’ll do as your next commander in chief.”

I think he’s confused about what “commander in chief” means. It means that you direct the military—not that you engage in “talks.”

[Normal4me]

’We need a president who’ll have the strength and courage to go toe-to-toe with the leaders of rogue nations, because that’s what it takes to protect our security,“

So he's going to vote for a Republican president now?

[saganite]

Going toe to toe with anyone means, for a Democrat, talking. That’s all. Diplomacy. No one should mistake any Dems profession of strength as anything else.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

“Well boys, this is it. Nuclear combat, toe to toe with the Rooskies...”

[elhombrelibre]

He wants to be the Jimmy Carter president.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

"’We need a president who’ll have the strength and courage to go toe-to-toe with the leaders of rogue nations, ..."

Before a leader can do that, said leader must be capable of distinguishing a "rouge" state.

Mr. Obama has not demonstrated the depth of understanding to be capable of such a task.

[no-to-illegals]

This person is a liar!
By his own words on the campaign trail, his first action would be to run the white flag up the flag pole on the White House, as would hitlery's. Flip Flop obammy, I see you.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Democrats have demonstrated that they are prepared to go ass to toe with muslim leaders,— the Muslim’s
toes to the Democrat’s rear end.

Democrats must learn to aim higher than the feet of their enemies.

[Son House]

“but if you are willing to work with us in a better direction then we’re willing to talk”

Or we’ll send Pelosi to talk.

[johnny7]

'I'll go toe-to-toe with rogue states'

Isn't that called... “playing footsies”?

[Son House]

“a president who’ll have the strength and courage to go toe-to-toe with the leaders of rogue nations”

And the rose colored glass of the Democrat Majority Press will guarantee only a Democrat can succeed.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

'I'll go toe-to-toe with rogue states' He must mean Massachusetts - rouge state if ever I saw one.

[nuconvert]

Lol. Those rogue nations are so afraid that they’re hoping he wins. lol.

[dufekin]

The American people long for the relative security and prosperity that their old hero Jimmy Carter wrought. In this terrible economy, simultaneous 18% inflation and 13% unemployment sounds very attractive. Jimmy Carter pioneered responsible energy policy with an effective ban on oil refinery and nuclear power plant construction, week-long lines to buy $3.40/gallon gasoline, and crude oil trading at $99/barrel. His unsurpassed foreign policy got us the glorious 444-day hostage crisis in Tehran and a boycott of the Moscow Olympics. Jimmy Carter satisfied the yearning desires of the American people for malaise, melancholy, and misery for which they now pine badly. Compare his magnificent record to that of the worst President of the United States, George W. Bush.

END SARCASTIC RANT

The American people aren’t THAT stupid; the mindless numskulls of the press just misunderstand them.

'I'll go toe-to-toe with rogue states': Obama

Ratspeak for "playing footsies."

[Maceman]

I should have read your response before writing my response #17. GMTA.

Maceman regrets the error.

Obama’s citing John F. Kennedy as a model is a bit scary. I liked JFK overall and believe he was a sincere Cold Warrior, but his rank inexperience led to the Bay of Pigs and then the Cuban Missile crisis. We didn’t exactly “win” this round as Obama seems to think — in the end, we agreed to tolerate a Communist state off our coast.

[SERKIT]

My old boss had an expression: “If you stop and yell at every barking dog, you’ll never make it to town.” I’m not sure I fully understood it, but seems appropriate for B Hussein Obama. If you waste your time giving credibility to banana republic, tin-horn dictators, it will eventually trip you up and have unintended consequences.
