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 hasnt 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 Americas allies, and feared by his enemies. In marked contrast, Obama hasnt generated a lot of respect abroad, and he certainly isnt feared."

We have Pee Wee Herman as our President. The people who elected him think that chairs can talk.
****************************
So true. One difference thou, Pee Wee was funny and joking around - Obama is a joke and he doesn’t know it.
You excerpted the last paragraph of the article, and it is a zinger. Our current president is neither respected nor feared abroad. He is only feared by his own citizens.
0bama made a swift divot on Syria today...
“Obama proved to the world that he is a joke...and I pray that our enemies will not take advantage of this foolish weakling.”
Bolton said last night that Obama believes our strength in the world is the cause of the problems and that a weaker US will lead to peace. A weaker US is Obamas comfort zone. He said we will have to wait 1200 days for a real president and then reclaim our proper place in the world.
I agree. We have never has such a weak president and I think our enemies will take advantaged of us. I also worry what Obama will try next considering how the world is laughing at him right now. He’ll want to save face, but that’s never going to happen now.
He believes he was is loved by the world that no matter what happens, he’ll still be loved. And he’s probably right about his loyal retarded American voters. Then when it’s time for him to leave, they’ll all jump on Hillary’s wagon.
Think of all the people who said Palin wasn’t qualified to be president then voted for purple lips that whistle.
“But....but...see how good we are because we elected a black man.”
“He believes he was is loved by the world that no matter what happens, hell still be loved.”
He believes that because he’s narcissistic. He got a rude awakening this week. Now he’s just a laughingstock.
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your tv
I’m the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me
I’m the Cult of Personality
I tell you one and one makes three
I’m the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Ghandi
I’m the Cult of Personality
Neon lights, a Nobel prize
The mirror speaks, his reflection lies
You don’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
Obama needs his eqo boosted a bit. Maybe the Norwegians could give him another Peace Prize.
“He believes he is loved by the world...”
I think he thinks that as well. There is no doubt in my mind that he had quite a tantrum when the only country that would back him in this endeavor was France.
I’ll second that.
Sure he made mistakes...what president hasn’t.
But I can’t think of anyone else I would have wanted as CIC after 9/11.
Sometimes I picture Gore or Kerry in that spot...THEN I picture The Won. Scares the bejeebers out of me.
Obama may be an empty suit but he is surrounded by masterminds like Valerie Jarrett and Cass Sustein. You must not underestimate an empty suit that has masterminds pulling it’ s strings.
So true....
I don’t believe he was elected. Maybe the first time because McCain was such an incredible F up in the campaign, but no way in hell the second time. Ask yourself this: What percentage of the population is communist? And the guy wins easily despite people lining up for blocks to vote him out? No way, no way in hell.
THE CHODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
