President Obama Confronts Russia, China and Iran In Speech to UN
Yahoo! News ^ | 1 hour ago | ABC News By ALEXANDER MALLIN

Posted on 09/28/2015 11:29:49 AM PDT by SaveFerris

President Obama took on a confrontational tone in his speech this morning to the United Nations General Assembly, specifically calling out Russia, China and Iran for destabilizing activities in various world conflicts.

Obama opened his speech directly decrying "strong states that seek to impose their will on weaker ones," then alluded to Russian support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"On this basis, we see some major powers assert themselves in ways that contravene international law," Obama said. "We're told that such retrenchment is required to beat back disorder, that it's the only way to stamp out terrorism. In accordance with this logic, we should support tyrants like Bashar al-Assad."

I'd say "What could possibly go wrong?" or "Brother, can you spare some iodine?" but then I remember that he won the Nobel Peace Prize. And had really cool videos of him bodysurfing and working out, so the world will call in their support at 1-800-AMERICAN-IDOL.

Lobster, anyone?

Then why on Earth is he appeasing them every chance he gets? Me thinks he says one thing but does another.

I’m sorry, I can’t bring myself to read his speech, but it’s not like he said, “mission accomplished,” or, “you’re either with us or against us,” or accused them of being an axis of evil. Most likely he said, “You’re on the wrong side of history.” If they really get bad he’ll send a strongly worded letter. Take that, you evil doers.

Here’s what happens when you’re on the wrong side of history.

Of course he called all 3 first and asked permission to look strong.

The Chinese in particular will show us if this was real or scripted. The Chinese leaders are always petulant, and over-react to even minor perceived slights.

Well, you know Tim Kaine said Bammy caused the cessation of hostilities between Georgia and Russia and it’s not like Tim Kaine is a delusional liar.

Wait a sec....

Iran will be dismantling their reactors. Pooty-Poot will be taking all his stuff home.

Now the world has real Hope and Change and Peace and Security and Peace and Safety.

Now, just have to divide Israel and set up an official Palestinian State recognized by the United Nations.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Have you ever seen John Boehner take a tough stand and talk about what he’s gonna do?

And then there are “investigations” like Benghazi where Issa said “We have to make sure this doesn’t happen AGAIN”.

Every good show has an antagonist and a protagonist.

And the actors are on the world stage. There was just a big show in the USA. And the public ate it up. The liberals at NBC spent probably half the “news” show on it a couple nights ago.

I could pretend to someone’s friend if they gave me $150 billion dollars.

I especially like how they pepper it with “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” - those Iranian mullahs, they’re a real blast. Like a nuclear blast.

You know, I used to think there were adults running the show in America.

And, at one time, there were.

It provided good material for the strategic thinkers at “The View” to now repeat it for the mushy-brained masses who also think that Jerry Springer is 100% real.

Unicorns and Skittles!
