Obama reassures allies: I can juggle many foreign crises

Some of the anti-republican rants noted below are now beginning to make sense. LOL. Warning: Fox News Alert with help from "The Guardian" and "Washington Post." ...

By Paul Bedard Published March 03, 2015 Facebook52 Twitter137 Email Print Career diplomats are finding that they can't advance to top State Department posts such as ambassadorships because President Obama has stuffed political appointees into those jobs, the most ever in his second term. "Yes, it's a problem," said Robert Silverman, president of the American Foreign Service Association. "This is an ongoing struggle. We need to maintain the ability for our top people t ...

Remember 2008? One of Obama's weak points was foreign policy....he had NO experience in foreign policy. A lot of people don't want to vote for Romney because he doesn't have any foreign policy experience. To those people, I would love to know why they would vote for a candidate that had no foreign policy experience one year and four years later refuse to vote for someone because they don't have any foreign policy experience? Doesn't make sense to me. This post really d ...

all you can see is his butt as he prostrates himself. He makes me sick. ...

He hasn't done a good job at foreign policy himself. In response to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s criticism of his Iran policy, President Obama suggested that the presumed candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination “bone up on foreign policy.” In other words, anyone who disagrees with the president on Iran’s nuclear program, or any other national security issue, is just not knowledgeable enough to understand. Of course, there is a very ...

President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign has been soliciting foreigners for donations, an explosive report from the conservative Government Accountability Institute (GAI) shows. Those foreign donors are allegedly visiting the Obama campaign’s donation solicitation Web pages through a social media website the campaign controls, and through an outside website that serves mostly Internet users from outside the United States. About 20 percent of visitors to the “my.bara ...

Excerpt from the SLC Tribune's endorsement of President Obama for reelection: "Obama’s foreign policy record is perhaps his strongest suit, especially compared to Romney’s bellicose posture toward Russia and China and his inflammatory rhetoric regarding Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Obama’s measured reliance on tough economic embargoes to bring Iran to heel, and his equally measured disengagement from the war in Afghanistan, are examples of a nuanced approach to i ...

Top aides to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio reportedly urged his political allies to blast the city's police union and rank-and-file officers for turning their backs on the mayor during the funeral for one of two NYPD cops assassinated earlier this month.

that the security agencies under US President Barack Obama have reportedly been monitoring close allies like German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Diplomats from the German Foreign Ministry had painstakingly planned every last detail. They were ...

By Karen DeYoung and Rajiv Chandrasekaran Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, June 26, 2010 It was 2:30 Tuesday morning in Kabul, after a busy day of travel to Kandahar and meetings with top Afghan officials, when Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal was awakened by an aide with grim news. "There's a Rolling Stone article out," the aide told McChrystal. "It's very, very bad." Forty hours later, McChrystal had been relieved of his command, his 34-year military career in tatt ...

(That was last week. Anonymous Romney insiders then followed this discussion of Ryan's possible "post-Mitt Romney future" by telling Politico Ryan wasn't their first choice, Chris Christie was. Okay. Well, tomorrow aside, those who've been wondering how Ryan's felt about being shuffled to the background like an ugly cousin at a fancy wedding may have a clue in this "leak" to the AP. Also, that they're not nearly as optimistic as they'd like to be at this p ...

Here is a good article about "the bow."

Not really surprising how much of it goes to Muslim or Arab countries, but what the money is actually used for was an eye opener for me. Most Arab countries are oil rich....so my question is, why can't they take care of their own military and police forces and let us put some of those billions against reducing the deficit? Or...why not use that money to fund some of the programs people seem to think they can't live without within THIS country instead of ADDING to the deficit? ...

Does anyone really believe that Obama's foreign policy is working? How can anyone argue that, in the last 3-1/2 years, things have gotten better in the Middle East? I think the era of pandering is over since that was a huge failure. Let's try something else, shall we? ...

"run through the Executive Branch?" This is what Obama stated today in his press conference after Netanyahu's speech.Since when it is ONLY the President who makes decisions on foreign policy? Hasn't it always been Congress to decide and isn't it their job to decide funding, arms, or anything else with regard for foreign policy? This is the impression I got on that statement. Is he now planning to take over that part of congressional policy for more power?BTW, he stated he did ...

TEL AVIV – The Trump administration is gearing up for major cuts in U.S. foreign aid across the world with the notable exception of the Palestinian territories, which will receive increased funding, State Department documents obtained by Foreign Policy magazine show. The documents, part of an internal budget proposal for 2018, seem to confirm the State Department and USAID’s 28 percent budget cut announced in March. While many countries will suffer from major cutbacks or else have aid cancel ...

These workers are hired on B1/B2 visas and told what to say to immigration officials when arriving to this country and given letters to give to immigration officials. Apparently, this type of visa allows you to work in the USA in a supervisory capacity, but they are not.
