I don’t want to get too excited because Obummer faced other crises in the White House due to his own incompetence, but I still sense the Syria debacle has disclosed to low info. voters that the President they elected is an emperor with no clothes. I even spoke to a liberal from Europe today and even he was shocked by Obomba’s behavior. He’s scratching his head and started to ponder that maybe conservatives in the US aren’t so bad after all. His biggest shock was that Obomba isn’t a man you can negotiate with or expect a compromise when an international crisis ensues. He’s now beginning to worry about what will happen when the next global crisis erupts, since the US will no longer be reliable.
"Good optics"???
Why do media writers seem to jump on the latest fan phrase? If they want to sound juvenile, just stick with the occasional "cool, dude" or a few extraneous "like"s thrown in.
I'd prefer "know what I mean, Vern" to something like "optics" when they mean "appearances". And don't get me started on the current fascination with "meme" and "bespoke"!
It’s not uncommon for there to begin to be “stories about the story” in the media, but I’m having trouble understanding why we are worrying more about the “optics” for Obama than we are about the potential for the US to blow up another country.
Thanks for all the posting you’ve been doing. At the risk of being called a member of the posting police, would you please post the author of the articles you post?
Lenin went through some tough times. That is essentially what we are seeing, history repeats. He stepped in the cow paddy in mid-treachery.
Patience ladies and gentlemen, patience. As you can all see.. "the king has NO clothes."
The “Oh...nevermind” speech should go down in history.
I’ve read some claiming it to have been a masterful speech, which is pure spin. Disjointed, pointless, even eye-contact couldn’t be maintained. And the message: The message...the target at which it struck was: “Nevermind...thanks for listening to us say what little we think we might have wanted to do — but we’ve changed our minds.”
I can’t think of any parallel to that in all of US history. It was an epic fail!
