Our president

I honestly don't understand one bit how anyone can not say this presidency has not been a MASSIVE relief after his predecessor's disaster. We are far better off on both foreign and domestic fronts. Not many Presidents in the last half century have had to deal with adverse conditions from foreign countries and anti-American GOP

You absolutely have to be on crack if you think things are going well on the foreign policy front.

No, he doesn't have to be on crack. He simply has to have the same mindset as the president does, to which I referred earlier. If you think the primary cause of all the world's ills in the past 100 years has been the United States, everything Obama does and says makes perfect sense.

Ummmm, a helluva lot better than in the last 15 years. Denying that would prove you're a partisan numbskull. But I know, I know. We should just go in with troops and shoot up every country that tests our patience. Oh, and then install our own regimes. That works so well, right?....Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

And I love the way you guys deep throat Putin's balls: the man who has is country close to financial ruin and will start another war which destabilizes and isolates their country further. Hey, now I get the love affair: the Russian Bush! :-D

Putin would be about an 8% in the GOP primary field.
 
Using that "Neville Chamberlain" reference is really way off-target. I know it's fun and dramatic to make a reference to the Nazis. But, no matter how much you try, there is no country in the Middle East that is acting-out remotely like Nazi Germany was in terms of land acquisition. The only country mimicking them in that regard is the USA.

You do not count a Caliphate as a country?

And while, not exactly physically in the Middle East, Russia has acquired South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea, and Eastern Ukraine just since Obama became president. Additionally, they have made pronouncements that they intend to protect Russian speakers in at least 5 or 6 other countries ... Moldova and each of the three Baltic States come to mind.

And now Russia is a player in Syria which IS in the Middle East.

If it is scale that your are looking for in terms of comparing Chamberlain to Obama, just wait a bit. The scale is building. It will reach your cutoff in the not too distant future.
 
This is what it looks like when a community organizer squares off against a KGB operative.

you gotta ask Syria and the Ukraine about this and get back to us
 
Bush family all suck. Oil oil oil...war war war..any questions?

Obama is awesome! Lone clone sucks too. Lone clown lives with her grandmother.
Please go back on your meds! Then back to your mom's basement.

If Russia invades and conquers every one of those countries tomorrow, should we commit ground troops to defend them? There is a limit to what we can do.

Couple of thoughts-

Domestically we have more of a mental health crisis than a gun crisis imo.

Foreign policy - the Crimea thing was huge. Violating and acquiring a sovereign country's land is a huge red line.

I guess it is just a detail, but I want to emphasize that Russia has ALREADY invaded the first four countries that I mentioned.

The others mentioned; those that are on Putin's wish list (He reveals these during his speeches.) include a handful of NATO countries. A significant component of the Putin strategy involves breaking up the NATO alliance. Unfortunately, most Europeans seem to not really care about security on their Eastern border.

... not so different from September 1938, the date of Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our Time" speech.

This situation is going to get much much more complicated between now and the date of our next presidential inauguration.

You're talking about the most recent Crimea thing, right? Not the "Cannon to the left of them, cannon to the right of them" Crimea thing.

I suspect he is, since, you know, the Crimean war involved Britain and France attacking Russia...

Way to cram that reference into the thread though.

The last American President who stood up to Russia was
Ronald Reagan. America won the Cold War without firing
one bullet and the Berlin Wall came crashing down.

Today, Putin is doing what he wants and breaking the
international laws in the process. He annexes Crimea
and takes over the Ukraine. Now he sets up himself
as the leader of the Mideast. In the meantime Obama
is in a war with the NRA and tries to break a 100 on a
nine hole golf course.

Oh, the Ronald Reagan worship revisited. I love the ignorant Right's warped views of history. It is so simple to reduce things to levels convenient to self-promotion.
 
I thought no one would ever ask!

Internationally, it appears we are simply leaving the Middle East to Putin. As we have already seen from at least one poster, the isolationists in America -- who make up a big segment of the population -- will no doubt applaud, just as their grandparents applauded when Neville Chamberlain's brilliant foreign policy brought the world peace.

Domestically, he actually said that one of the worst job reports in history was good economic news.

And he doubled down on his rash and irrational statements yesterday about the shootings in Oregon. I honestly think he may be setting the stage for some kind of unilateral presidential edict banning some firearm-related things. He whined yesterday that "I can't do it alone," which is precisely what he said about illegal immigration, shortly before doing it alone. And yesterday he held up Australia as a model. Does Australia have a constitution guaranteeing gun rights? No. But if we know nothing else about our president, we know his respect for the U.S. Constitution is nil.
Why would we expect anything different? He is liberal.
 
I second this. The Obama hate is getting old, especially since all the right has to offer these days are made up scandals and threats of shutdown.
Your wrong, Having Obama as POTUS is getting old. He is truly a piece of excrement!

Um, no. Your humble opinion is asinine. We have a gun problem. There are nations with far worse mental health problems and not mass shootings because they're not loaded with guns. Not only that, these shooters are not any more "mentally ill" than thousands upon thousands of people who will never commit an act of violence. The last two major school shootings involved gun nut job mothers teaching their kids "gun safety" and responsibility at the shooting range. Retards.

I agree with the bolded. The last sentence is ridiculous though....the USA is mimicking Nazi Germany? Laughable....

Forgive me, you certainly don't give off the vibe of a guy who would vote to raise taxes, increase the size of government, grant amnesty to illegals and raise the debt limit but I'm happy to be wrong about your conservative ideals.
