Barack Obama is proving an embarrassing amateur on the world stage compared to George W. Bush

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."

He’s actually jumping behind Michelle, and pushing her forward. Let her take the hit.

Can you imagine that just a few years from now Hilary will be POTUS and Michelle the Senator from Illinois?

What a sick world.

i truly thank you for your kind words...

0 is but a symptom.

America’s problem will remain after he’s gone.

Bush went about the Iraq war the right way, presented his case to the congress, UN, world leaders, Americans, etc. to ask for support. Only when he got the necessary support he took action.

The pResident, said he would take military action, got push back, realized he wasn’t President of The World, threw a temper tantrum, gave a speech saying “I can, but I won’t” and went golfing.

[Chode]

look for the inconsistencies in this picture...

[Intolerant in NJ]

We can expect no more than we’re getting from Obama, the first president in history who set out to prove that America is not an exceptional country......

PeeWee could also memorize his lines and could perform for eight-minute segments without having to rely on a teleprompter.

That’s photoshopped. Look at the ball and his head.

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin out
From your tv set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks..
Don't touch that dial

Hail. And farewell, please.

Well, again, I keep thinking of the late Sen. Roman Hruska, R-NE, who may have said even amateurs need a “little representation” too. NE has yet to match him!

Hillary will be POTUS and Peter King will still be in the House and McPain in the Senate praising her.

[Chode]

and look at the guy "blocking" the shot... TOTALLY looking at somebody else and NOT at the Zer0

[Hoodat]

Joe Biden has a better chance of getting elected than Hillary. The powers that got Obama elected did so because they needed an empty suit in the White House. Hillary is no empty suit. But Joe Biden sure is.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Now he’s just a laughingstock.

AHA! A new title:

The Laughingstock in Chief!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

His legs are white!!!! WTF?? It’s FAKE!!

[Candor7]

the effect resulting from the situation we’ve given him ( Obama) is like a monkey with a hand-grenade>>>>>>>>>>>

Excellent imagery, these words deserve to be carved in stone and established as a monument to liberal folly, on the Washington Mall.
