Our Obama is such a great American (except when he promised to “fundamentally transform America” and then began breaking established laws and our constitution to do it) and is so accomplished and widely recognized as an expert in international relations (except for the disasters in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Crimea, Georgia, ISIS) that one jumps at the chance to latch on to his experience and to learn from his sage advice.
For example he recently stated that he hopes Donald Trump will “stand up to Russia” when Trump becomes president. What a load of crap from this fool man! Obama is the one who laughed at Mitt Romney in a 2012 debate, when Romney stated that Russia can be dangerous to American interests. And Obama’s illogical reasoning for countering Romney’s assertion that Russia has evil intentions toward America was based on his (Obama’s) opinion that Russia is old, Twentieth century news and offers no threat to America in Obama’s new, more sophisticated, more nuanced, Twenty-first century. As usual, Obama could not be more wrong, nor his ideas more dangerous for America. And Mitt Romney was completely correct.
And how can one forget the open mic that picked up Obama in a foreign alcove, heads inclined toward each other and speaking softly with Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, begging the PM to assure Vladimir Putin that he (Obama) is working hard to do what Putin wants him to do, and to give him (Obama) a little more time so he could win his presidential re-election, and then he’d be free to work deals with the Russian dictator in his (Obama’s) second administration, just as “Vlad” (that’s how Obama addresses his pal, Vladimir) wants him to. Obama is a bought-and-paid-for comrade of Russia, and his pal, “Vlad”. If this begging on the part of an American president, seeking to be given more time by the Russian president to keep that Russian president happy, is “standing up” to Russia, then I’m lost on the English language and the meaning of its words.
The only “standing up” Obama does is to the Tea Party, Israel, the NRA, Christians and similar groups that he knows will not do anything violent or illegal to oppose him. However, his response to nations that hate us and publicly state that they want our national death, (and here one thinks immediately of the world’s leading terrorist nation, Iran) he makes nice with them and allows them to continue to develop the nuclear capacity with which they can eventually destroy America, and then gives them billions of dollars, in a plane-load of cash, which of course they will use to kill more innocent people around the world and further hasten their development of a nuclear weapon. Wow! That’s really “standing up” to the Mullah’s international war of terror, Barry.
Obama is a loser who is scrambling to protect and defend his many failed policies and his teetering legacy, and the election of Donald Trump has been a repudiation of everything Obama stands for.
