Barack Obama is proving an embarrassing amateur on the world stage compared to George W. Bush
The Telegraph ^ | 8/30/2013 | Nile Gardiner

In addition, and most importantly, George W. Bush was a conviction president on foreign policy matters, driven by a clear sense of the national interest. President Bush emphatically made his case to the American people and to the world, explaining why he believed the use of force was necessary, and dozens of countries decided to follow him. In the case of Barack Obama, whose foreign policy has been weak-kneed, confused and strategically incoherent, the president hasn’t effectively made the case for military intervention in Syria, and has made no serious effort to cultivate support both at home and abroad. President Bush may not have been greatly loved on the world stage, but he was respected by America’s allies, and feared by his enemies. In marked contrast, Obama hasn’t generated a lot of respect abroad, and he certainly isn’t feared."

The only thing that fears Obama are worms on the golf course.

We have Pee Wee Herman as our President. The people who elected him think that chairs can talk.

“because I said so” isn’t a really good argument.

Though he was no Reagan, and surely not without fault, W is a patriot and respected the nation and the office he held.

Compared to our current monkey boy usurper, he was practically Churchillian.

Not to mention being an actual MAN, contraposed to the henpecked faggot Øboyma . . .

Did we expect anything else from the community organizer? He had zero accomplishments as a state or US senator. This is par for the course.

That picture of President Obama so reminds me of all those picture of then Presidential candidate John Kerry (remember him going sailboarding and riding expensive bicycles?)?

We have Pee Wee Herman as our President

You STILL think he is trying to do a good job as President and protect the interests of the United States????

Well, then, I can see why you think he's incompetent.

What did anyone expect from a community-organizer?

He’s had a lifetime of treatment like Chris ‘Mr. Tingle’ Matthews gives him, at least in America, whether it was in high school playing basketball and representing the choom gang, in college in California, university in New York at Columbia, editor at Harvard Law, or in Chicago.

It has to have ‘affirmative’ in the title because it’s meant to distract that it’s rarely that, if at all. I thought the horror of having this clown in our White House would be enough to wake America up, as having Dinkins in Gracie Mansion woke many New Yorkers up. But that only took one term in New York.

We now have the ultimate ‘affirmative action’ hire, who also happens to be a lame duck for a few more years unless impeached and removed. And to mix metaphors, and to borrow from the Russians, the effect resulting from the situation we’ve given him is like a monkey with a hand-grenade. Enjoy the show. Have faith that whatever he destroys, we can build it again.
