I think it's time to put that piece of shit sock EconChick on ignore. I'm not here to give the time of day to retards.
I love it when libs break from my pressure.
I have never put anyone on ignore in my life. I will wiz by Lone L's posts but even he isn't on ignore.
Love displaying lib weakness.
Consider yourself broken dumb fuck.
I see you do not try to deny the truth of his statement.And when do you blame Bush and the GOP?Obama takes credit for foreign policy and actions as long as public opinion is favorable...but once it turns, he always resorts to blaming Booooossssshhhhh and the GOP.

Ironically for you...there was no fiddle for Nero...it's an legend.Just as Nero fiddled, Obama golfs....
This fails as a false comparison fallacy.Just as Nero fiddled, Obama golfs....

How the constant chorus of ‘do something’ Obama foreign policy critics gets it wrong
There is a fun foreign policy game making all the rounds in Washington D.C. this summer: Pin the tail on Barack Obama.
Its appeal is not hard to understand; it's so easy to play.
Step 1: Pick a foreign crisis that touches even slightly on U.S. national security interests. This shouldn't be hard, because the United States defines practically everything in the world as being an American interest.
Step 2: Make clear that this is no garden-variety problem but rather "the defining crisis of [OBAMA'S] presidency," or a threat to the "very foundations of global order" or the answer to the question, "is this how World War III begins."
Step 3: Bemoan the lack of "leadership," "strategy," "attention" or "fortitude" from the commander in chief. Note that the President is "weirdly detached" and "emotionally disengaged" (bonus points for a Churchill reference).
Make corny jokes about how Obama's focus on golf is "turning into 'a real handicap.'" Ask snarky questions like "what would it look like if America actually had a Middle East strategy" that wasn't defined by "inaction" and the lack of a "clear vision." Even suggest that if only a Russian strongman were running America, those terrorists would finally get their due.
Step 4: Insist that everything would be better if something had been done differently a few years ago (bonus points if you made that suggestion at the time).
Say things like:
"We should have ____ ("bombed Syria" or "supported the moderate rebels" or "bombed Syria and supported the rebels")…
"If only we had ____ ("pressured Maliki" or "kept troops in Iraq" or "pressured Maliki and kept the troops in Iraq")...
Step 5: Offer a set of proposals that are vague and contradictory, have little chance of being implemented, fail to take account domestic politics and would do absolutely nothing to impact the crisis that you've described in Step 1.
Step 6: Publish your condemnation in a major newspaper or news outlet. Wait for a phone call from a booker with a Sunday morning talk show.
There are no points for understanding how international relations work, how U.S. power is actually utilized or how other countries interpret their own interests. There's no space on the board for tracking the real-life impact of your recommendations.

Managing America's role in the world isn't a game.
And indeed we see examples of this inane punditry from the partisan right on this very forum.
Yup. Basically you're saying that his incompetency should be ignored by all.
Thanks for the clarification.
Obama has nothing to offer when it comes to a real world crisis. Our allies have written him off as a responsible partner when it comes to aggression by our common enemies.
What a change over the last 200 plus year of our country's existence.
Obama has ushered in a new age of American impotence.
And you libs are loving it.
Liberals are so proud of a president that is a laughingstock of the free world.
even dems are criticizing obama for having no strategy. only a far leftwingnut would defend obama now.

Actually, LoneLaugher just said it pretty well a few posts backeven dems are criticizing obama for having no strategy. only a far leftwingnut would defend obama now.
synthy....what do you disagree with?
Liberals are criticizing the man's choice of words used while discussing a particular issue. He was flippant.
Nobody but an ignorant RW nut would think that the United States has no strategy when it comes to ISIS or any other terrorist organization.
Ironically for you...there was no fiddle for Nero...it's an legend.Just as Nero fiddled, Obama golfs....
I predict more dithering and "thinking" about what to do accompanied by a round or two of golf as a response from our POTUS.
Time for Obama to go golfing or fund raising. Nothing to see here
Why thank you sweetie. One clue I had was that the fiddle hadn't been invented yet.......by a long shot.Ironically for you...there was no fiddle for Nero...it's an legend.Just as Nero fiddled, Obama golfs....
As I was not alive in 64 AD to confirm the rumors, I'll have to defer to your much advanced age.

It was truth. Not funny, certainly not corny.

Don't forget the step where you must go back and delete all of your previous on-line statements supporting the very strategies that you're now condemning Obama for.The punditry vs. the presidency

And of course we're seeing the same hyperbole and stupidity from most on the right, with their unwarranted, unfounded whining about 'not being allowed' to criticize the president's foreign policy, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.
The issue has nothing to do with legitimate criticism of the president's foreign policy, the issue has to do with the fact that the right's 'criticism' is motivated by partisanism, having little to do with the facts concerning a specific foreign policy issue or overall foreign policy in general – where the partisan right would be critical of the president regardless what actions he takes.
REALLY, Counselor? Get your head out of the cloud. I started out as a dumb ass liberal in my youth. I was fully indoctrinated in liberal economics and foreign policy in the fancy liberal schools I attended until I actually joined the military, traveled, became an entrepreneur, continued my econ studies and saw how corrupt our liberal university system was....and have seen people die because of idiot liberal "theories." My standing on issues is completely motivated by firsthand experience out in real world arenas you libs only dream of working in.
