Ex-officials start to admit spineless Obama ‘left a more dangerous world’

Former president Obama’s wimpiness against foreign adversaries left the world a more dangerous place.

That’s what ex-Obama officials Barry Pavel, Gary Samore and Michael McFaul said while praising President Trump‘s decisive actions in Syria and Afghanistan this week.

“I think [Obama] left a more dangerous world,” Pavel told Fox News. Pavel was a senior director on the National Security Council from 2008 to 2010.

— Fox News (@FoxNews) April 14, 2017

Pavel said America’s enemies knew that Obama “had the capability, but not the will” to retaliate against aggressive actions, so our enemies did whatever they felt like without fear of repercussion from the United States — the only superpower in the world:
Because they knew that the Obama administration would never use military force for any purpose, they felt free to conduct their coercive actions in the South China Seas, the Russians went into Iran and Syria, and North Korea accelerated their nuclear arms program.”
Under Obama’s watch, ISIS was born and spread to more than 18 countries around the world. Pavel said Obama’s major mistake was not putting his foot down in Syria, such as when president Bashar al Assad attacked civilians with chemical weapons in 2013.

Instead of retaliating against Assad for violating international treaties banning the use of chemical weapons, Obama lied and claimed the United States had destroyed Syria’s chemical-weapons arsenal. That was proven false when Assad reportedly attacked civilians with sarin nerve gas last week.

The worst president in history.

With his continuous treason since leaving the WH arguably the most evil man the Republic has ever known

The Accidental Tourist - President Selfie Stick - I think he really did win in 08, but you’ll never convince me he won in 12. No one was more surprised than him when the Bishop conceded

Not spineless so much as on the wrong side.

Did they speak up while they were officials serving under Obama? If not, I’d have to say they’re pretty spineless, too. One of them was my daughter’s advisor at grad school until he got recruited to serve in the BHO administration. Can’t say at the moment that I’m overly impressed.

It goes far beyond being spineless IMO.

He left us much more vulnerable, and that was by design.

He reveled in the decline/crumbling of the United States.

Good riddance to bad (foreign) rubbish.

If even a small fraction of Obama’s malfeasance and incompetence leaks out, the ex President will be wise to spend his time outside the country in a country with no extradition treaty.

First foreign operative? Most likely.

I don’t believe zero was there to better the world or this country. He was there to funnel trillions to the left all over the world, and to enable Islam’s advance.

That was his purpose and for those reasons only he was a great success. As that guy said they only needed “the stupidity of the voters”.

No, wrong, and I’m sick of letting the petulant turd off easily.

He had a stiff spring for our enemies and he and his hateful wife hate the United States of America.

So spineless is a misnomer.

It’s as if the country (even the world) was in a fog as soon as Obama decided to run for office. He was even given a Noble Peace prize right after he won the presidency. He had done nothing and they gave it to him.
America was mesmerized. Now America is beginning to wake up, wondering what happened to us that we would fall for this man.

I agree. He stole office in 2012. He's the biggest narcissist to ever sully the White House. All his life he's had folks telling him he's great, so I enjoyed seeing the expression on his face early when things didn't go his way. Something like this: Image and video hosting by TinyPic That's an 8 year old in a middle-aged man's body. Now we're seeing his masked spawn bullying old people in wheelchairs.

An IslamoMarxist who had political correctness and a duplicitous media on his side was an untouchable. Plus a spineless opposition party was the reason he got away with it.
