Washington (CNN) - Turkey's downing of a Russian fighter plane shouldn't lead to futher wartime escalation in the region, President Barack Obama insisted at a press conference Tuesday.

But he maintained Turkey had a right to defend its airspace and charged that Russian air activity near the Turkey-Syria border has been been an "ongoing problem."

Don't underestimate his intelligence.

You can't underestimate his intelligence. He has none. He is an ignorant, stupid, lazy, mouthy community organizer who has never done anything of note, and has no knowledge or experience of anything other than getting a free ride and Partying.

He's stupid. He's very stupid. He is nothing but a loose monkey wrench in a mass of complex gears.

You shoot one of his 'sons' dead breaking Into your house he wants your blood. ISIS and allies shoots dead anyone protecting the west from Islamic invasion, he wants those protectors blood.

So he has the intelligence of a primitive tribal warrior wanting blood. Got it. Doesn't take any brains for that.

Is the $h!tfaceinchief also saying the turks had the right to shoot and kill the pilots as they parachuted to the ground?

So this is how Obama celebrates the killing of two Russian pilots? His statement and his position are a shame and a disgrace.

Obama is supporting ISIS.

I know, right. Even stranger, is how some Conservatives are applauding Russia who is propping up Assad who during the Iraq war allowed foreign jihadis into Iraq during the height of the war. Assad's regime turned a blind eye to the Syrian, Egyptian, and Libyan fighters passing through their territory on their way to Iraq to kill our soldiers using arms and IED's supplied in some part by Iran (who is helping Assad and Russia). So you now have Iran, Russia, Assad and some Conservatives claiming this nexus is a good thing. Personally, I wouldn't say that but it is bizarro world now.

We applaud Russia for bombing ISIS. Supporting Assad, no so much.

He is both. But then again, most who are the one, are the other as well.

Russia initially started bombing ISIS with marginal results and then its attention turned northward Syria were largely anti Assad forces are entrenched, because that's the real reason Russia is in Syria: to prop up its proxy. Now it seems any and everything we don't like in the region is 'ISIS' when the truth is far more complex.

He’s a constitutional scholar....in his case it means learning enough about the constitution to circumvent it. If that’s part of his community agitator paradigm so be it.

He is s trained in the destruction of America by scum like Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn and a student of Marxist trash like Saul Alinsky.

I won’t underestimate this POS. I recommend no RIGHT thinking person do either.

At this point, Assad is the least bad outcome. If Assad doesn't win, ISIS gains control of Syria. How is that better?

Assad is a brutal dictator, but I've come to the opinion that the only sort of rules which Arab Muslims respect are Brutal Dictators. What toppled the Shah of Iran is his Jimmy Carter engineered restraint from brutality. The opposition perceived it as weakness and made their move.

There was a book years back titled “The Pirate Coast” about the Tripolitian/Barbary Wars. The author made the point repeatedly that the Arabs operated exclusively on a power equation; either you dominated them or they took the opportunity to try to dominate you.

This sort of cultural disconnect has led to centuries of this sort of conflict, both before America’s “Payment in iron” to the Bashaw and afterwards.

Jimmy Carter was and remains an affable dunce when it comes to understanding a lot of aspects of human nature.

No he isn't. He is an affirmative action designee. He didn't learn anything useful in college. He won't even show his grades because they are absolutely horrible. If they were any good, he would have been shoving them in our faces years ago.

He is s trained in the destruction of America by scum like Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn and a student of Marxist trash like Saul Alinsky.

Destruction is easy, and takes no "Training." Else stupid Obama wouldn't have been able to do it.

I won't underestimate this POS. I recommend no RIGHT thinking person do either.

You are mistaking viciousness for intelligence. He is like a toddler with a revolver. He's dangerous, but he's not smart, or even sensible.

Nazi sentiments flow through his blood. He is not a smart Nazi, it's enough that he's just a Nazi.

Most of the time stupid Obama just does what the rat faced Iranian witch tells him.
