TakeYouToTasker Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 well y'all are harping on about the "crossing the line" comment. What do you seriously want him to do? A) sit back and do nothing? B) Send in forces on the ground? C) Use drones and smart bombs? All of which will garner negative remarks by the Conservatives. We'd prefer our President not say absurd things, especially on the global stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) What do you seriously want him to do? You ask what we want him to do? Simple: STFU and try to understand that making threats you aren't prepared to uphold makes the US look weak and foolish. .He gets evidence Syria is gassing its people...he says "You better not cross that line ," and when they DO cross the line, he does nothing but go golfing. He sees the Ukraine shooting protesters in the streets...he says "You better be nice or there will be consequences," and when they continue to murder protesters, he does what? Go fundraising. Impossible to imagine I'm ready to take John Kerry over this self-absorbed naive fool. Edited February 20, 2014 by LABillzFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 What a disaster. The Newman offensive broke through their lines and Kramer's armies scattered in every direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't understand how aanybody actually thought a truce was even possible. These protesters don't want the deal with Putin. So unless the truce does something to nix that deal, what incentive do they have to stop rioting against what many (including myself) feel is a step backward?

DC Tom Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Conservatives will make negative remarks due to the President not making useless threats.......................Wow...(Gator territory) . Conservatives will make negative remarks if Obama blows his nose. The one thing Bush had going for him was matching his words and actions, regardless of how people who didn't like him would continue to not like him. Obama can't even manage that meager standard.

It's amazing how all of sudden, complaining by the opposition is all of a sudden unprecedented. I wonder how long Obama would last in a Parliament where 90% of the discussion is essentially a rap battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama does the opposite. He speaks loudly but only has a pencil dick. How wrong you are. Obama has "eliminated" more terrorists that again your hero. AND with a LOT less US casualties.
