The ONLY people bam bam is willing to use force against is his political opposition in the US.

He speaks of Al Queada and the Taliban with more respect than American conservatives.

“WHY is it that everybody is so eager to use military force?” America’s cerebral president betrayed a rare flash of frustration on April 28th when dealing with a question in Asia about his country’s “weakness” …
This behavior out of Obama is anything but rare. The man is emotional, not cerebral; always has been.

They can defend their own selves. They have spent all their money on socialism and spent nothing on their defense.

They are SOOL now, because we have also done the same since Ogoofball.

With some exception countries get the governments they deserve...

There’s not one Muslim country worth defending... same goes for countries with high corruption. They’re begging to be taken over... which is just fine with me. Ukraine elects a nut who lives high off the hog and has a private zoo? That’s not ever going to end well - and it’s not worth a drop of American blood.

Yes, we should defend Canada and Israel and other rule of law democracies. As far as Mexico goes? With them dumping their excess citizens on us? Don’t care. Not one bit. Whoever wants them can have them.

Barack O'Bozo is so smart he can't even remember where his college transcripts are hidden.

We may well find out what Americans are willing
to fight for in the next two or three years.

There is nothing “cerebral” about Barack Obama. That’s just his white boys in the state controlled “media” sucking up to him again.

America under Obama doesn’t stand for anything beyond a short-term domestic political agenda. That is, if you don’t count transgendered rights, gay marriage and promotion of Muslim minorities.

If its about rule of law, protection of property rights, freedom of the seas and commerce, human liberty and rights - forget about it. We’re not interested.

If you are a country of gay Muzzie trannies, Obama will pull out all the stops for you. Otherwise you’re outta luck.

“They can defend their own selves. They have spent all their money on socialism and spent nothing on their defense.”

In total agreement here; Ironically, exposing them for their own weakness may be a positive thing in Bam’s “legacy”.

With America itself embracing such sheer degeneracy as fag-marriage and dope, and its government devolving into a sort of corrupt one-party banana republic, I’m getting to the point where I even find myself pondering to what extent America itself is worth defending... much less defending some outside country.
