Putin Imposes His Own Reset On A Helpless Obama
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 1 October 2015, 09:56 AM ET | ANDREW MALCOLM

Posted on 10/02/2015 1:31:21 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

Almost exactly three years ago a haughty President Obama mocked his Republican presidential rival, Mitt Romney, in their third campaign debate:

"Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not Al Qaida. You said Russia. In the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years."

In the 36 intervening months we've witnessed countless examples of the perspicacity of Romney and the naive guilelessness of Obama. Obama misread Vladimir Putin's intentions. Obama called ISIS a JV team. He overlooked Iran's deceits to do a desperate deal.

Evidence against trusting Putin is overwhelming. His demeaning PR rescue of a bumbling Obama from the American's own silly "red line" threat over Syrian chemical weapons. Russia's annexation of Crimea. Its underwriting of armed rebellion in eastern Ukraine. Its successful defiance of economic sanctions. Its arms sales to Iran. And in recent weeks Russia's armed occupation of parts of Syria, construction of a major airbase and upgrading of a port all allegedly to help fight ISIS.

Wednesday came the worst Obama humiliation yet. A Russian general delivered to a surprised U.S. military attache in Baghdad an abrupt diplomatic notice that within the hour Russian war planes would begin bombing in Syria and a demand that U.S. forces stay out of the way. They did. And we did.

And the world in general saw once again who's taking charge in that volatile region to occupy Obama's willful power vacuum. And John Kerry is left pleading with Russia's foreign minister for a meeting.

All this just 48 hours after Obama and Putin met at the United Nations.

The more Obama speaks the easier it is to realize that he is a political moron. The problem is that most of his supporters are political morons too. The rest are just outright Marxists, hand-picked for self-serving jobs that destroy this nation for their own benefit.

Nice job---you nailed two very crucial aspects of the hapless (and helpless) Obama admin.

All of Obama's actions---including his "I Know Nothing Act" when the Clintons were jerking around foreign policy---must be seen against Obama's get-rich-quick plans as the ex-president. The Chicago Obamas are practiced govt parasites---scrounging off the hard work of struggling taxpayers. The Obamas are rigging the system for the two Obama foundations money trees.

OBAMA'S ALREADY EARMARKED HIS CUT OF THE $150 BILLION IRAN DEAL The post-presidency Obamas have BIG plans.....get-rich-quick schemes ala the Clintons. Gonna cash in bigtime---through two Obama foundations (two that we know of).

Obama figures he needs two foundations to handle all the post-presidency tax-free money about to roll in.....six-figure honoraria, multi-million dollar donations, lucrative consultancies, and, untold riches from insider Mideast business deals.

=====================================================

FOUNDATION ONE---OBAMA'S SISTER IS A BOARD MEMBER
OF OBAMA's PLANNED BILLION DOLLAR CHICAGO LIBRARY FOUNDATION

Maya Soetoro-Ng is President Obama’s sister and a specialist for the Matsunaga Institute for Peace. She is the co-founder of Our Public School, a non-profit that connects schools to their communities, and the co-creator of a peace education program implemented in schools and communities around Hawaii.

==================================================

FOUNDATION TWO---OBAMA's KENYAN HALF-BROTHER HEADS
THE MUSLIM FOUNDATION--named for their Muslim father. Obama Foundation Two was fast-tracked for tax-exemption by Lois Lerner.

Kenya-resident, Malik Obama in Muslim dress, holds up
photo of his half brother Obama in Muslim dress (left),
taken during Obama's earlier visit.

======================================================

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later.

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare scam.

From the dumb statements coming out of the WH, we need to factor
in the lamebrain types the WH ding-a-ling surrounds himself with:

<><> know-nothing press mouthpiece, Josh Earnest, who stupidly told Americans Putin was acting from “a position of weakness,”

<><> Susan “The Video” Rice, O’s ntl security (gag) advisor,

<><> Tommy “The Dude” Vietor, O’s campaign driver who (no joke)
had ntl security clearance, and actually sat in on Crisis Room meetings,

<><> Marie Harf, the State Dept’s glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.

To name a few.

He is merely weak and incompetent.

If it makes you and others feel better to believe that, rather than him being a willing co-conspirator of evil intent, I hope you enjoy your bliss.

Obama is mentally ill. He thinks bombing and killing people strengthens them. See recent comments concerning ISIS. He refuses to negotiate over raising US debt ceiling. He ignores the constitution. He thinks Global Warming is our greatest threat. Etc. Etc. He is mentally ill.

Unfortunately, this is too funny. It sucks having such a delusional effete fool as POTUS.
