Should the President be out fundraising when (sm)

he admits he doesn't have a strategy for dealing with ISIS in Syria? Josh Not-So Earnest, but he tries - the President's many duties require him to be able to handle more than one thing at a time. But Josh, isn't he already chewing gum? LOL

No, he should be out buying new clothes. - SM

Let me explain something. Putting aside discussing the hard-hitting political issues of Obama's clothing and the sad attempts to amuse us with juvenile jokes, the president doesn't have a strategy that he is going to discuss with reporters and the public via the airwaves before he talks to a lot more defense types and fellow politicians in smoked filled rooms.

Would you prefer he give a speech in the manner of George W. Bush and say such oldies but goodies like "wanted dead or alive," or "you're either with us or against us," or how about the irrepressible, "my answer is bring them on." Would all that kind of nonsense and rushing into saying something stupid or doing something stupider make you feel better?

I'll take Obama's silence and contemplation over that blustering type ignorance every time.

Compare what Prime Minister David Cameron said today with what President Barack Obama said yesterday. I rest my case.

Conservatives are crushing on The Right Honourable David Cameron MP - Glad to hear that, actually.

In their eagerness to bash President Obama, the conservatives are singing the praises of the British Prime Minister David Cameron.

I wonder if they are aware of his policies?

We like him too, guys, but praising the guy in order to bash Obama is lame. While you are busy crushing on Cameron, please review his 21st century "conservative" agenda for Britain, and then you'll have a head start in knowing which way conservative policy worldwide is headed and you can start to make your inevitable metamorphosis sooner rather than later.

Britain's Conservatives:

Support gay marriage, international equality, and equal treatment. "We use our influence to change culture and attitudes and support equality, in particular on gender, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGB&T) equality, leading by example."

Have "introduced changes to firearms legislation in the new Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament. We are creating an offence of possessing illegal firearms for sale or transfer, with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, and increasing the maximum penalty for manufacture, importation and exportation of illegal firearms."

Recognize that "the latest climate projections indicate that sea levels will rise, and there will be increasingly severe and frequent rainstorms. This means the risk of floods will increase." They have a website devoted to climate change called UK Climate Projections.
http://ukclimateprojections.metoffice.gov.uk/21678

Just to name a few things. This is the future of conservatism; get to know it. Thanks be to The Right Honourable David Cameron MP for leading the way. Good form!

Right now he is being a leader. Would that we had one of those. - nm

I am pretty sure I had heard President Obama was a diabolical genius concocting a secret plan to confiscate guns and IRA accounts, while secretly setting up clandestine FEMA concentration camps, all because he's been revealed as an undercover socialist Muslim purposefully trying to wreck the US economy so he can implement a dictatorial takeover.

Now they tell me he's "a wuss and can't make a decision."

If we taxed paranoia, we could wipe out the federal debt.

Wish we had a leader with a backbone - sm

You complain about being taxed enough already, - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
You complain about the debt and deficit, and you complain about the numbers of troops being killed under this president.

Tell us all which of those domestic issues you are willing to sacrifice in order to protect our country's direct interests in the Ukraine, which would amount to nothing except proving our military superiority. If proving United States exceptionalism is enough reason to sacrifice your above concerns, how many dead Americans and how many taxpayers' dollars is it worth to you? If, on the other hand you wish intervention to protect our allies' direct interests in the Ukraine by way of protecting the gas pipeline running through it, how many soldiers and how many taxpayers' dollars is it worth to protect the price of gas in Europe?

And then what? What is your grand strategy?

Maybe we wouldn't have these problems that you cited - SM

get this nation back on track, instead of making us an entitlement country like he has done. Our people need jobs, Mr. President, we don't need changes made to welfare that encourages people not to work. We need incentives to work, not to lie around at home and collect a check. We need businesses to thrive, you put a choke=hold on earnings and profits with your silly regulations. It's all about control. The Obamacare stinks. All it did was increase the Medicare rolls. People who have families to support don't want PT work; they want full time. They want shovel-ready jobs (haha). The pipeline would create thousands of jobs. That's why you don't want it. You want everyone to be dependent on the government. That's your fundamental change. It sucks.

Maybe you slept through 2000-2008? - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Maybe you slept through a few decades? Some of those problems existed prior to President Obama, some even prior to President Bush 43, and some even prior to President Clinton.

Maybe you were expecting a magician for president who waves a magic wand and makes everything disappear or maybe perhaps a religious president to be the instrument in God's hand. Wait, I've heard that Bush 43 was God's instrument.

Say, maybe this is all just part of God's plan and you're blaming the wrong guy?

Mr. Cameron is against the Bush Blame Game.

Here are the sad but true facts. - ROFL

[ In Reply To ..]
I adore David Cameron and his policies; he is my kind of conservative. Conservatives in America should get to know them, as they are the future of conservatism worldwide.

As for the Bush Blame Game, since you insist on bringing him up, based on the last 6 years since the day he took office, we all know that conservatives would rather play the "Obama Blame Game," also known as pin the tale on the Democrat donkey, and we know looking back in retrospect there will be blame enough to share, but in the near and far future, when people think about the early part of the 21st century, they will always blame Bush and the neoconservatives for the complete and utter foreign policy chaos and total world economic meltdown that was the Bush 43 administration.

If people blame Bush 43, there's a good reason for it. When he is still not allowed into the 2016 Republican convention, and he is treated as "he who must not be named," let it sink in that this is his legacy. There is now and there always will be a reason people blame Bush. Conservatives can hide him away for all eternity and never speak his name again, but people won't forget.

That sounds more like your sad but true opinion. - NM

Oh, I don't know. I kinda liked 4.2 unemployment - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
under Bush, until the Dems took over Congress and blocked him from tightening the reins on the financial housing markets, and we all know what happened in 2008 even after Barney Fife claimed earlier that year (I think it was either April or May) that there was nothing wrong with Fannie May and Freddie Mac. So I wonder why Frank Raines went "on the run" (retiring) with millions of $$?

Then in comes Obama promising to hold "those responsible" for this meltdown. Who, pray tell, went to jail? Most got a slap on the wrist. Companies got a fine. Big Deal. It was a drop in the bucket to how much they make a year.

Foreign policy was not in "utter chaos." We had friends. We had allies. We had Al Quada and the Taliban on the run. Iraq was in the process of building a democratic government.

Everyone knows Obama was for the Iraq war before he was against it. Then he pulled ALL troops out before the original date and left the Iraqis unprotected before they were ready.

We all know the military in this country is being decimated by this administration firing all the "good" leaders and now, they're also giving pink slips to those who are still overseas. Way to go! Get their mind off what they're doing over there because of worrying what they'll be doing next. Smart.

One thing I will absolutely state as true...Obama will go down in history as the worse president ever. No legacy. No accomplishments. No allies and handing OUR country over to the U.N. to trample our Constitution even more than he has in his 6 years as President in the area of gun control and climate change, which sidesteps Congress.

Thank you for proving my point. - sm

You "kinda liked 4.2 unemployment," as did the entire country. If you will review the months that the unemployment rate was 4.2 under the Bush administration, you will discover it was January and February 2001. George Bush was sworn into office on January 20, 2001. Tell us all what a great president that George Bush was when he was handed an unemployment rate of 4.2% from the Clinton administration for Jan/Feb 2001. After his first year in office, unemployment was 5.7. Please let us know how Bush gets credit for the 4.2 unemployment rate he stepped into but is not responsible for 5.7 rate after 1 year. By the time Bush leaves office on January 21, 2009, the unemployment rate is 7.6 and in freefall down to 8.1 by February 2009. Glad you "kinda liked 4.2 unemployment" under Clinton.

I see you have your own set of facts on so many issues, but the subject was Bush, not Obama, but I guess deflection is not unexpected. If the subject is Bush, you must deflect and insist on blaming Obama for the utter train wreck that was Bush and the neocons. Okay, I can see how truth hurts if you think the guy who got bin Laden has no accomplishments but the guy who never did get him was so great. Conservatives with their own set of facts credit Bush for getting bin Laden because it's too painful to admit the truth that Bush said it wasn't important to get him. Likewise, Obamacare is not an accomplishment either to conservatives because they're too busy loving on the unfunded Medicare Part D and trying to defund Obamacare that is funded. Obamacare is here to stay, and you lost at making Obama a 1-term president, so your version of his legacy notwithstanding, legacies come AFTER you leave office, which is Bush's worst nightmare.

Too bad Bush took 4.2 and everything else he was handed from Democrats and turned it into chaos and collapse, but that is his legacy and always will be and why he'll stay hidden away from view and treated as though he never existed.

Truthhurts tried to defend Bush by blaming Obama for Bush's meltdown and bragging about 4.2 unemployment under Bush when the fact is that 4.2 in January and February 2001 had nothing at all to do with anything Bush did whatsoever just by virtue of being sworn in 10 days before the end of Bill Clinton's last month in office in January 2001.

People should be told the facts, even if the truth hurts a poster's made up version of events. Nothing new here; we're used to it.
