America has opened the door to a Palestinian-Israeli divide which will never end.

Tell your Grandkids about our innocence, no, ignorance that allowed it to happen.

 

[Gracie]

To be honest...no. I don't think we would have.

 

[Gracie]

And if Hillary gets in there....we will have more of the same we get from Obama.

I never thought I would ever think that.

 

[pismoe]

yep , Mitt woulda been better but with him there mighta been different issues like Immigration as I think that MITTS as bad as gw on immigration . Pluses with Mitt woulda been that he'd have competent people helping him out .

Mitt Romney once climbed Mt. Everest in 15 minutes, 14 of which he was building a snowman at the bottom.

Can't win an election though

True.

And I bet he'd have found their resumes in folders, too!

But seriously, look at all the threads open right now and look at the diversity of the problems being discussed.

Most of them deal with really serious stuff going very bad or very wrong.

There'd have been WAY less drama than with Obama.

Obama is certainly incompetent in some areas of performance.

In others he's been intentionally disruptive and/or destructive.

If he could have harnessed or silenced your hot air maybe he'd have gotten the few extra million votes he'd have needed to get over the hump.

Huh? I agree! Mitt Romney would've been AWESOME!!!!

Did you know that Mitt Romney can hear sign language?

Thanks for the correction. I was thrown off by the comment (quoted below) about Mitt appointing competent people as implying that Obama was incompetent.

My mistake.

Thanks, again!

No, but I heard he could catch a fart, paint it green, then place it on a wall where it cain't be seen.

And he could do a lot to fix what ails us.

You stereotypical expectation would be a remark like it shows where your imagination goes. To smut.' Right?

Well, I ain't goin there. I'll leave you there with the egg you laid.

Others may feel differently. To each his own.

As for me, I don't think you should stereotype Christians of any type. Except that LDS are, generally, great people.

And it is much more than an incompetent choice.

It is a crucially sensitive one and he has intentionally put the wrong person in there.

This article splains it nicely.

Yesterday, Barack Obama succeeded in pushing US foreign policy further down the crapper. The Senate voted to confirm two monumentally unqualified party hacks and bag-people as ambassador.

The Senate, rejecting an impassioned plea from Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)52% (R-Ariz.), on Tuesday confirmed two major Obama campaign contributors for ambassadorships to Hungary and Argentina.

The confirmations of Hollywood television producer Colleen Bell to Budapest and Noah Mamet to Buenos Aires had sparked unusual controversy — including a letter in opposition from 15 former presidents of the American Foreign Service Association, the union of career diplomats — after their faltering performances in their confirmation hearings.

Bell stumbled when Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)52% (R-Ariz.) asked her what America’s strategic interests were in Hungary, which has become a difficult posting in recent years as the government cracks down on dissenters.

McCain implored the Senate to vote against the nomination. He said he understood that “rewarding supporters to cushy jobs in the Caribbean is something both parties do.” But “this is a very important country where bad things are going on,” he said. McCain said that Bell’s experience “has been producing the television soap opera ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’” and that she is “totally unqualified for this position and this country.” (She has managed the on-and-off-again romantic tension between Ridge and Brooke for decades though …)

Giving ambassadorial positions to prominent political supporters has a long tradition and it isn’t necessarily a bad thing so long a there is a modicum of competence and the posting isn’t a challenging one. And career foreign service officers are often no better as ambassadors than amateurs. No presidential friend has single-handedly set off a war. The foreign service can’t make that claim. Those are not the facts here.

The critical nominee is Colleen Bell. Bell is a soap opera producer who bundled or donated nearly three million dollars for Obama. She is to be posted to Budapest. Budapest is not only a NATO ally, but one that is being wooed by Russia and seems poised to slip into Putin’s brand of neo-fascism. (reported on at RedState) Not only is Hungary making life increasingly difficult for anyone not getting with the program, Bell could not identify a single US strategic interest in Hungary.

Argentina is also in the throes of economic and social unrest — this is nearly a national pastime in Argentina — and it is a major power in Latin America. Given the unpleasant noises that keep emanating from Buenos Aires on things like the Falklands a prudent person would conclude that this is the job for someone with some ties to, or at least familiarity with, the existing Argentine power structure. But in the Time of Obama you would be wrong. In Obama’s very cloistered and parochial view, one foreign country, full of foreigners who can’t legally give him money or even vote for him unless they come here illegally, is pretty much like another. And if your ambassador can’t find it on a map, no problem, the only map he needs is the one to get him to the airport. The only requirement is that he’s raised boodles of cash for you.

Left in doubt is the fate of the nominee to Norway. hotel magnate George Tsunis. At his confirmation hearing he thought that Norway had a president — it doesn’t, it is a constitutional monarchy — and he labeled one party in the ruling parliamentary coalition as “extremist.”

McCain then turned to George Tsunis, founder and chief executive of Chartwell Hotels, who bundled or contributed more than $1.3 million for Obama in 2012 — and gave $50,000 to McCain in 2008! — and thus is the nominee for ambassador to Norway. His performance, one Norwegian news outlet said, was “faltering, incoherent” and displayed a “total ignorance” of the country.

McCain asked him about the “anti-immigration” Progress Party in Norway.

“You get some fringe elements that have a microphone and spew their hatred,” Tsunis said. “And I will tell you Norway has been very quick to denounce them.”
“The government has denounced them?” McCain said. They are “part of the governing coalition,” he said, so they were hardly being denounced.

“I have no more questions for this incredibly highly qualified group of nominees,” McCain derisively concluded after another minute or so.

His showing was so weak that the Senate didn’t vote on his nomination, putting it off until the new Congress convenes. In fact, Norwegian media has protested Tsunis’s nomination.

Everyone knows that ambassadorial appointments are presidential perquisites. But some level of competence in making these appointments is necessary before the nation and its foreign policy become laughingstocks. The appointments of Bell and Mamet represent the complete triumph of selfishness and greed over the needs of the nation.​

His patronage appointments are embarrassing - his excesses of which exceeded only by Ronald Reagan, but additionally, this points out another problem, the incredibly slow rate of Senate confirmations. It seems the only ones they want to do are those where they can score political points.
