Barack Obama, President Oh-bummer (Wash Post slams Obama)
wash post ^ | 11/24/15 | d millbank

Posted on 11/25/2015 5:41:17 AM PST by bestintxas

The two presidents stood in the East Room on Tuesday afternoon, united in their goal of defeating the Islamic State but separated by a stylistic gulf as vast as the Atlantic.

On the left, facing the cameras, was François Hollande, war president. He spoke of “cowardly murderers” who “dishonor humanity,” of a “relentless determination to fight terrorism everywhere and anywhere,” of “an implacable joint response,” of “hunting down their leaders” and “taking back the land.”

On the right stood Barack Obama, President Oh-bummer.

Defeating the Islamic State?

“That’s going to be a process that involves hard, methodical work. It’s not going to be something that happens just because suddenly we take a few more airstrikes.”

A political settlement in Syria?

“It’s going to be hard. And we should not be under any illusions.”

Could the Paris attacks have been prevented?

“That’s hard — that’s a hard thing to track. . . . That’s a tough job.”

Lead? What is that? I'd rather play golf and get my brackets right for the NCAA tournament.

What an embarrassment to have the US president outclassed and upstaged by the French president.

People here on FR have been calling him Obummer since 2007.

Nice of the WaPo to finally catch-up with the times.

Barack Obama, aka King Duffus I, said he is going to wipe out terrorism by fighting global warming.

The loathsome WaPo's editorial board until this was right in with the rest of the MSM in giving 0's anus its daily tongue bath, so to hell with them. The WaP once ran anti-gun editorials 186 days in a row.

Obama will lead--well, not lead, but coerce--when it comes to inviting terrorists into America under the guise of refugees, but he will not show any passion in the fight against ISIS.

That says clearly to all of us that he supports ISIS.

Barry is a phony; a wolf in wheels clothing. It isn’t hard to see but so many Americans just don’t WANT to, I guess.

He is ALL FOR ISIS. But he’s the elected leader of the opposition so he has to be VERY careful with what he says and does.

He needs us to THINK he’s working against these terrorists, but can’t REALLY do anything too substantive, for he wants them to succeed ultimately.

It’s not hard to see if one WANTS to see the truth.

1st it was Chris Matthews, now Dana Millbank forced to state the obvious

...not interested in Leading, not interested in Winning.

A mumble-mouth weakling, embarrassment.

It is my belief that Obama is watching diligently what is going on in France.

The French have established curfews and suspended civil liberties while they ‘root out’ terrorists.

Recall Obama just signed an executive order to take from local law enforcement agencies military-type equipment. Couple with refugees here, college unrest, BLM, etc.

If Obama can foment enough unrest here in USA, he can declare martial law in order to ‘root out terrorists’.

Yes, I can see Obama attempting to stay on as President during an ‘extraordinary’ time of unrest here.

Nothing is off the table to a true lib believer.

If we could just get global warming under control, that would show ISIS how tough we are!

We ALL have typos; and most KNOW what you mean anyway.
If you don’t point it out; it escapes us. We are
all distracted from time to time. :o)
