If he actually did something then you would know all that "thoughtfulness" was just some choom smoke.
They are having a hard time hanging on to the messiah anymore. Perhaps he could use some more Greek pillars.
Poor little Baby Bad Luck...
Real Men of Genius!
We are so honored to have Baraq in the WH!
The first sentence deviates wildly from reality. Stopped reading there.
Yeah. That's it, all right.
What a crock!
Bad luck? His incompetence is what is causing past policies to collapse. If a real man was in the White House, few of these problems would exist.
We need a barf graphic badly here.
Every president for the past 100 years has had to deal with this. Most do an adequate job, a few Carter and Obama can't and things spin out of control fairly quickly.
This has nothing to do with “bad luck” or timing. It's ALWAYS tuff to be president and leader of the free world. But when you not up to the job (as is apparent when it comes to Obama) things get out of hand quickly.
Usually the people see this ineptitude and choose not to return such an obvious failure to office to continue to mess things up. Obama is the exception to this rule, because his skin color saved him from most of the effects of his bad policies.
More like: "He reads from a teleprompter in a manner that suggest a president who can read from a teleprompter."
The sea levels haven’t fallen, either....................
They mistake teleprompter reading and proper diction for intelligence and thoughtfulness, and a street hustler’s glibness for “well-considered responses”. What idiots.
Not because of his color but his character!
Obama can follow simple instructions- that's all.
No, he is not. And only a complete idiot would continue to say he is.
Good Lord, are you kidding me?
A generation or two from now (I hope) true historians will look back at this time in history and ask why the media did not do it's job and report the absolute incompetence and danger this guy and his administration was and hold them accountable.
You should have added a ‘barf alert’. Now I have to clean off what I had spewed across my laptop keyboard.
I read this late last night, looking to see how the HP would react to the riots in Missouri, and was going to post it here. I am glad you did.
This is the point he made that made guffaw:
“Unlike Bush, Obama inhabits the reality-based foreign policy space, with no apologies. Unlike Bush, he has no messianic zealots among his advisers. He gives the kind of well-considered responses that suggest a president who carefully engages with truly difficult policy conundrums.”
For the longest time there were no comments. Now there are 80 with intelligent conservatives keeping up our end. Then there is this:

The US is nolonger the world police...just because we are a world power!
The “Shock and Awe” sort of big stick diplomacy of years/generations past is over.
The ‘right’ (wrong) can’t wait to intervene..a.k.a. invade other lands..but obnoxiously, defiantly aghast when taking care of its own..be it elderly, low-income (upon who’s backs this country has always depended and used and abused.
When the cry for less taxes blare forth, it means those who can pay more don’t want to/unwilling..but send the poor/middle class to die/shed blood..and squeeze more taxes..but the well off..again..few in uniform...then beyond rhetoric..treat them/us (former USMC Nam era here) like crap..until politically advantageous.
2016 is near..if America and its true ideals don’t wake up..God forbid the the direction of this country!
Moderates..liberals...listen up...put up or shut up and imagine 2 houses of congress..supreme court and WH in hands of Repubs...if you dare!”
But guys like these should have reinforcements from us here at FR:
“Richard Jackson · Top Commenter · Kalamazoo, Michigan
Robert, you said, “It is Obama’s bad luck to be chief executive at a moment when the consequences of several bad policies of the past century are blowing up, on his watch.” I think that you are wrong, twice. Just to pick a topic, what is it Mr. Bush’s fault that Mr. Obama withdrew the military from Iraq when many sensible people knew that they had to stay? When is it Mr. Bush’s fault that Mr. Obama drew red lines in the Syrian sand and they didn’t follow up? We have all been children and raised children. We all know what happens when you don’t follow through — see Iraq. We all know what happens when you set a boundary then don’t enforce it - see Syria. Please stop blaming Mr. Obama’s shortcomings on previous administrations. Mr. Obama owns his decisions just like Mr. Bush owns his decisions. Mr. Obama was wrong to withdraw from Iraq before the job was done and his is wrong to withdraw from Afghanistan under the current circumstances. In Syria, he should either have done nothing or he should have done something. We see the results of an empty threat. He is wrong about Israel — Hamas is the whole problem and to see or say otherwise is prejudiced against the Jews. And he is wrong about immigration. We have a weak indecisive president who has a vision of the world that that does not match reality. When reality is finally so obvious that it cannot be ignored, he concocts a solution that doesn’t match the problem and is out of time. And he does not trust or consider anyone with a different vision. America is weaker than she was 6 years ago and we have given away (not lost) our leadership position. In the process we have abandoned out allies so we stand more alone that before. We have reduced the size of our military so our deterrent is less. Therefore we are at greater risk from immigrants, world economic coercion, and terrorism with less ability to do anything about it. This situation is not just a little worse than it was and Mr. Obama and his political allies own it. Dude, stop digging.”
God job, Mr. Jackson!
Oh my, they just can’t keep from kissing his ass - NOTHING is ever his fault or his decision, he’s always “trapped” by the past or by the Republicans or by his own HUGE INTELLECT. This is nauseating.
