Obama outclassed

A headline on KansasCity .com last week read “Putin says Obama meeting went well.” The Associated Press in the story notes that Obama “found Putin’s views similar to those of Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev.”

Obama’s actual comment to a U.S. reporter was, “Interestingly, nothing Putin said contradicted anything that Medvedev has said.”

This is akin to saying that the dummy said nothing with which his ventriloquist did not agree.

One reacts with both gut fears and utter disbelief. Although the Kremlin’s mauling of this neophyte president was less obviously savage than Nikita Kruschev gave John Kennedy in Vienna the year Obama was born, clearly this inexperienced man is out of his depth.

The poet A.E. Housman sums it up: “The Grizzly Bear is huge and wild/He has devoured the infant child/The infant child is not aware/It had been eaten by a bear….”

Bush/ Obama-Putin/What'sisname;

Nixon-Ike-Kennedy/ Khruschev;

Foreign policy doesn't just up and start over every 4 or eight years. It's an ongoing project and each leader's own input is felt somewhere down the road. JFK? Chump to Nikita? He was on the heels of Nixon/Ike policy (Bay of Pigs) and jockeyed OK during the '62 missile crisis.

Don't prejudge Obama. He may have just been "fronting" a good look into Vlady's soul. Remember, he's just picking up what was left off at the personal diplomatic level. Probly apologizing, huh?

"Obama was way too busy crediting the fine people of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe for bringing an end to the cold war to notice he was again being played for a punk."

Does Sean Hannity cut you a check for repeating his lies, or do you just happily do it for free?

Obama this, Obama that; you guys are the ones making him out to be a God. There has been spending going on for a long time and future generations have been paying for it. This is nothing new; is there overspending maybe yes but the key to it all or some of it is the consumer spending, that’s what makes the world go around. No one is spending like they should, jobs going over seas and CEO stealing from employees. This isn’t Obamas fault it was all in the works before him; he just adding to some of it.

Krauthammer will do you better than the Huffington Post gg....

Read today's Krauthammer column on Obambi's latest capitulation to a totalitarian regime. What a fool he is.

(AP) — CAIRO - Sudanese police arrested 13 women in a raid on a cafe and flogged 10 of them in public for wearing trousers in violation of the country's strict Islamic law, one of those arrested said Monday.

Just recently in Cairo, Obama said,"

"Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music;
elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."

You can pretend that a tiger is a pussycat, but that doesn't make it one.

You know Mr. Brown, there are some really good anti-psychotic medications available these days. They might help you with your terrifying hallucinations.

[ggbridge]

Dudes, that's what Obama was saying. Sheesh. At least Obama didn't look in either one's eyes and get a sense of his soul...

Obama was way too busy crediting the fine people of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe for bringing an end to the cold war to notice he was again being played for a punk. Oh well, off to somewhere else to apologise for America or attempt to re-seat a would-be dictator...
