Obama: I’m Not Losing To Putin In Syria
Breitbart - Big Government ^ | 10-2-2015 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/03/2015 3:33:30 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

President Obama is pushing back against the idea that he’s been outmaneuvered in Syria by Russian President Vladimir Putin since the two met at the United Nations on Monday.

Obama appeared frustrated by the suggestion during a press conference this afternoon, dismissing it as a notion only talked about in the Washington D.C.

“Sometimes the conversation here in the Beltway differs from the conversation internationally,” Obama responded.

Obama accused Putin of acting in Syria “out of weakness,” repeatedly referring to Russia’s weakening economy. He also compared his coalition to act against ISIS in Syria to Putin’s unilateral decision to prop up Assad.

“Iran and Assad make up Mr. Putin’s coalition at the moment,” he said. “The rest of the world makes up ours.”

He repeatedly assured reporters that he was “very clear” with Putin about where America stood on Syria, ....... Obama: I’m Not Losing To Putin In Syria.

“This is not some, you know, super power chess board contest and anybody who frames it in that way isn’t paying very close attention to what’s been happening on the chess board,” he said.

The ManChild can't seem to understand, "this" is not about him.

If there is another word that can describe how loathsome and detestable he is, please let me know.

Losing no, lost yes.

He lost the day he decided to manipulate an internal Syrian conflict in what was already a Russian client state.

You better hope so.

Iran? I thought you had this great "pact" with Iran that is essentially a treaty. What are they doing on the side opposite from you, Mr. Obama?

While we're at it, who is this "rest of the world you are talking about?" Those countries in Europe being invaded by fugee's from every country your magnificently awesome foreign policy, lead-from-behind actions of yours has touched in the Mideast?

Your "no-fly-zone" mutterings will end in Russia shipping in S-300 or S-400 SAM systems to Syria and then you'll see what ends up flying there.

Would it be out of place to express concern that the child would conduct a nuclear tantrum?

You’re out of your league, son.

Why don’t you go back home and play in your rainbow sandbox?

I think you might want to include China in that coalition Mr. President. (My god what a fool!)

—— he insisted, vowing to continue American military effort to degrade Islamic State terrorists in Syria.-——

Funny, in the first day or so of Russian planes over Syria he managed to take out a command and control ISIL center...

Our planes mostly fly around waiting for approval on targets to bomb and come back fully loaded...

Obama, you stupid assmonkey, you lost. If you had enough intelligence, you would realize how stupid you look.

You just cut our military by another 40,000, now go do it yourself, you damned fool.

He’s already lost to Putin, he just has to accept it...what would really be bad is if we lose men and hardware in the process of Obama figuring out that he lost.
