INEFFECTUAL, invisible, unable to honour pledges and now blamed for letting Gaddafi off the hook. Why Obama’s gone from ‘Yes we can’ to ‘Er, maybe we shouldn’t’...

Came across this quote which I think sums up where we are at as citizens when it comes to our vote.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."


Well, as Wendy said, I'm sure we all can replace Barack Obama with a President of our choice. I however think it rings true for a citizenry that can vote for a man who was unknown and a Press so willing to carry his bags of BS.

Its not the British media its a no brain mid market right wing tabloid.

Damn right. To call this the UK Media would be like tarring the 'US Media' as all ultra-religious nut jobs because of something Glen Beck said on Fox News.

On yesterday's news, 18 Mar, I kept hearing bits that Hillary Clinton has had it with BHO's indecisiveness.

He is a college professor not a leader. BHO, as a member of the intellectual elite, doesn't seem to have the ability to lead a silent prayer. I'll bet it will be a long time before an intellectual type is elected president again. At least I hope so.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

There are intellectuals who do have some common sense and there are those who dont
We have the latter here

Those with commons sense would surround themselves with people who can help them with what they know they dont know

Obama surrounded himself with those who are cut from the same cloth

He is such a narcissist he can even see it.



And there are many here who could say

I told you so

But I didnt think he could be this bad

Taken from the replied at the bottom of the article. Pretty much sums up how I feel:

I think it's HILARIOUS that UK papers are criticizing Obama for not acting in Libya.

I have an idea, England. Why don't you get off your pasty bums and do something about it yourselves, instead of sitting around waiting for the US to rush in and be the world police again for you?

Did the UK break their arm?

Why is America's spend billions of dollars and thousands of lives to take care of every localized skirmish on the planet while everyone else sits back and whines?

Maybe Barrack Obama sitting on his ass and doing nothing is a good thing. After all, Libya isn't in our back yard.

One has to wonder when and where we should go with our military lives. (not aimed at you as I am sure you would agree)

It is howeve,r a debate that is needed

The part that will always be missed by those who do not have the Intel those like our president should have is what is the specific gain or goal or, what the risk may be of doing nothing

While a gain is more acceptable and definable, a goal can be very ambiguous and open ended.

I would wish to trust those we elect

The problem is, if Obama had done the exact same as Bush, it would be viewed and judged much much differently

Point? an honest discussion is very difficult if even possible at all

I was wondering about where you have been a day or two ago

But given the chance to comment on a poster or a website (source) brings your type of bs back to a thread like an earth quake.

Well, the word is we're lobbing missiles into Libya and providing high tech aid to the coalition forces but keeping our people out of the way. The question is what are the UN types trying to accomplish. "Protecting the locals" is not exactly a mission with an end unless the UN means to hold a revolution against the Duck in their honor.

The way it has been handled it is hard to have any idea what is going on
