Can the U.S. Recover From Obama's Ravages?

[Shady]

Please don't hold your breath waiting.

I know I won't.

[BubberMiley]

Yes or no?

Are you indicating you were lying again when you said there was historical data? I'm shocked that you would stoop so low!

[Black Dog]

Putting the data aside. Is it your contention that when the economy is really strong, people feel like the country is on the wrong track? Yes or no?

It doesn't matter what we think if the data (facts) say otherwise. You claim to have them. So why won't you share and settle it? One would think if you were that confident in your conclusions you would jump at the chance to be proven right. And yet...

It's true.

Prove it.

Or are you still grasping at the notion that when the economy is really good, people think that the country is going in the wrong direction?

Another claim I never made.

Yes or no?

Maybe you didn't understand it the first time, but it depends on the historical data you were going to present.

This could have merited its own thread; Obama's fantasy world, but I didn't want to multiply threads.

Barack Obama lives in a childlike world. It doesn’t bother him that he’s ridden elevators with armed men. It doesn’t bother him that people with knives have mounted the White House fence and gotten into the East Room. It’s only a problem for him when the press finds out. He believes he can just call the nursery school teacher in to engage the Iranians, ISIS, Hamas, or anyone else out to kill us. Our real enemies, in his view, are the ones who stand up to bullies, such as Israel or Ukraine, since they “just make problems.” They iruin the fairy-tale world where all people live “happily ever after” and sing Kumbaya at the end of the show.

This childlike simplicity wouldn’t be a problem except it hurts the country and the world. Hee is busy dealing with the following:

• Non-problems such as climate change;
• Inviting into our country, out of “compassion” children without their parents in tow, who don’t speak a word of English, to be raised and educated on some hapless localities’ dime;
• Apologizing for the U.S.’s depredations in trying to remain a free country; and
• Precipitously withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan, in order to be “liked” by his buddies at world confabs.

He imagines a world where everyone, including Israel and the U.S. is bound by the World Court, Geneva Convention and Kyoto protocols. Not to mention Law of the Sea. He’s manufacturing executive orders to hamstring our industries in the name of stopping “climate change” while China eats our lunch. Oh, need I mention, while China is getting ready to beat the “beejesus” out of Hong Kong residents used to British tutelage and British constitutional monarchy, with the rule of law.

He lectures Israel about failing to protect civilians sufficiently in Protective Edge. Has he asked Hamas what steps they’ve taken to protect civilians? And he has created “rules of engagement” requiring our troops to fight with both hands tied behind their backs in order to absolutely minimize civilian casualties. Has he ever asked if ISIS is so constrained? The Geneva convention forbids the execution of POWs. Yet they executed hundreds of Iraqi soldiers link to article); “Islamic State militants killed up to 770 captured Iraqi soldiers after they captured a former US military base in Tikrit back in June, a new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Wednesday.” Obama is busy forming dainty coalitions since he needs “consensus.” Someone should ask him, at a press conference, if he is so fastidious when going around Congress with his executive orders. I guess fairness and consensus applies only when surrendering to our enemies.
Obama truly lives in a childlike world of his own creation. That is fine; but I want a realist and an adult as our President.

What friggin' newspapers are you reading pal?

[jbg]

What friggin' newspapers are you reading pal?

New York Times mostly. And online, the National Post, Commentary Magazine and a few others. Why?

[GostHacked]

Yes or no?

How do you really expect an answer when you wont provide the historical data you claim to have knowledge of?

Will you put up the data? Yes or no?

[Michael Hardner]

You can link to those articles, then. Your post just seems to be about your opinion about Obama - not much specific.

Ok, so...what are your solutions? Care to lay them out or do you just have complaints gleaned from the Tea Party e-mail list?

[cybercoma]

Will you put up the data? Yes or no?

Still waiting, I guess.

Shady, I trust you're credible enough to retract your earlier claim, since you clearly don't have the data to back it up.

The post is very much my own opinion. There is only one link. That is deliberate.

What did Obama have in mind when he so ardently launched those punishing sanctions against Russia? Actually he punished America!
Russia-made RD-180 rocket engines are in great demand in this country as you might know. They are used in the Atlas V launch system to launch military installations, the newest AENF communication satellite and other for use by the US Air Force.
I'm also in the know of an effort by D.C. to seek a license for domestic manufacturing of RD-180. But it would be excessively expensive as experts assert and it would take much more time to start production on the American territory. Now I guess it's out of question at all!
Meanwhile the RD-180 are at present the best liquid-propellant rocket engines in the world. South Korea is now trying to catch up in this field but experts are being pessimistic. Btw she was clever enough not to join Obama suggested sanctions against Russia! South Korea also buys rocket engines with Russia and doesn't want its space program be jeopardized. Well, perhaps Obama plans to get Russian engines from Seoul nut it may result in much ado, I'm scary!
