Another Stupid Foreign Policy Moment...

[Unkotare]

Much ado about nothing.

So he said "A Polish Death Camp" instead of a "Death camp in Poland"...

I'm just not seeing how any reasonable person could really get upset about this, knowing what he was talking about.

YOu know, if you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel being upset about this sort of thing, it means you probably don't really have valid complaints against the man.

How do you post with obama's balls in your mouth like that?

I don't know, guy, I wonder what kind of strange person has fantasies like that.

Do you spend all day thinking about men having their scrotums in other men's mouths.

You know, it's been scientifically established that most homophobes are latent homosexuals, and you are kind of proving the point.

Now, to the point. How could any REASONABLE person not know when he was talking about a death camp in Poland, he wasn't blaming the Poles when he was pinning a Medal of Freedom on a Polish-American?

That kind of person would be YOU, nutsucker.

Where are all the phony American exceptionalist now?

Here's a real one:


The advantages of free-market health care go far beyond an absence of rationing. With no price controls, free-market U.S. medicine provides the incentives that lead to innovative breakthroughs in new drugs and other medical technologies.

U.S. companies have developed half of all the major new medicines introduced worldwide over the last 20 years.

In fact, Americans played a key role in 80 percent of the most important medical advances of the last 30 years. Eighteen of the last 25 winners of the Nobel Prize in Medicine either are U.S. citizens or work here (and in 36 of the last 43 years).
(Not bad, considering we have 5% of the world’s population.)

"if you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel being upset about this sort of thing,..."

No, no, no, Erroneous Joe....."this sort of thing"???

Post #27....wanna take 'em one at a time, or all together?


So...how low will you go to defend this Oaf-in-Office?

No, I'm not going to enable your OCD. You seriously need to see someone about that.

This is a minor grammatical error no REASONABLE person would have misunderstood.

Is that what you said when Sandra Fluke was called a "slut"?

1. I accept your apology...and look forward to your next one...

2. He wrote a/the letter to Chirac, rather than to Sarkozy....
So far....no dispute, is there?

3. Foreign Policy Gaffe Machine Strikes Again; Obama Sends Note to Chirac Pledging Friendship, Working Relationship
Update: I agree with the commenters who think that Obama was just being cozy with Chirac, and hadn't actually forgotten who the President of France was. At the same time, this is a clear snub to Sarkozy and his pro-War on Terror policies (or at least, more pro-WOT than his predecessor). It's also slightly ridiculous for Bambi to claim to be looking forward to working with an out-of-power French leader, especially when he has made no visible effort to work with France's current one.

Original Post:
The actual President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been trying for months to get a sit-down with President Obama is not amused.

Le Figaro reports (Warning: French) that Obama sent the former leader of France a "very nice" letter, which included this idiotic comment:

"I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world."
Foreign Policy Gaffe Machine Strikes Again; Obama Sends Note to Chirac Pledging Friendship, Working Relationship

4. So, the facts are clear....only the explanation is in doubt.....
The source is slightly left-leaning, and I haven't seen the letter in question posted, so it is up to the reader to decide whether Obama made said mistake or not....

...his pattern tends to indicate that he did.

5. "Generally fair, but slightly biased (the first two in the Democratic direction, the rest in the Republican): Milwaukee Journal (bias mainly in front-page cartoons); St. Louis Post-Dispatch; Chicago Sun-Times; Kansas City Star; Cleveland Plain Dealer; New York Herald Tribune; Portland Oregonian; Christian Science Monitor."
Are Our Nation's Newspapers Biased? | News | The Harvard Crimson

CNS is generally fair, but who told them the letter was meant for Chirac.


BTW...Jimmy Orr now works for the LATimes....bet he voted for Obama.

You really twisted yourself into knots trying to justify your original misreading of the article...you are still wrong though.
You get some points to you for effort...you should be very proud.

I'll give you credit ....discredit?....for declining to look at the list of other Obama foreign policy blunders...
...you might have to admit that this one fits right in...

For you..."None so blind as those that will not see.”

Your agenda was displayed by your mis-reading of the very first news (not Biden's opinion) link that you gave.
Your clear lack of balance calls into question the credibility of any links that you provide.
You will obviously only provide links that agree with your bias without any critical assessment on your part - I don't need to read any more to know what the tone of the other sites will be.

Ummm. not really.

frankly, what you are talking about are tradeoffs. 70% of the world's population live in underdeveloped, poor countries. Which doesn't speak well to us as a species, really.

Coming up with innovations isn't that impressive when most people don't benefit from them.

The United States has one of the lowest life expectencies in the industrialized world, and the highest infant mortality rate amongst developed countries. 62% of bankruptcies are linked to medical crisis, and of those, 75% had health insurance.

No, I don't think anyone misunderstood what the fat, drug-addicted, closted homosexual meant when he said that. In fact, he was pretty clear in what he said.

Of course, he had no idea what he was talking about, since Ms. Fluke was talking about valid medical needs for contraception like treating ovarian cysts, and oddly, Rush seems to think you need to take more birth control if you have more sex. (Which really makes me wonder if he understands how the lady-parts work.)

More empty emoting from joeblow, the far-far-far left bleeding heart numbskull.

No emoting at all, guy.

Limbaugh is a sad phony. Everyone in the media knows it.

Everyone knows he's a closeted gay man on his fourth "beard" who makes his money inciting hatred.

It's kind of sad, really, that he went over a line that even his corporate sponsors didn't want him to cross.

And now they are trying to prop up Huckabee as an alternative because Rush has become so toxic.

It's more than passing interesting how often you resort to the tired 'everyone knows,' when, of course the opposite is true.

On the other hand, you may be correct considering that you live in a telephone booth and your favorite cookbook is "Vegan Cooking For One."

 

[Sallow]

Have the Poles apologized to the Jews? I mean..besides Pope John Paul. He was apologizing for the Catholics.

Sorry, live in a nice condo and I don't like vegetables...

But maybe you should google "Jeff Christie Arrest" some time. It would be enlightening.

(Jeff Christie is what Limbaugh used to call himself when he was a disk jockey.)

Seriously, look at Limbaugh's history, he has some serious issues with women.

 

[JoeB131]

Sallow, once again, you go off the deep end, giving cred to the far right.

The Poles have nothing to apologize for. They were invaded, and while 3 million Polish Jews were killed in the Holocaust, so were 3 million Polish Catholics.

While the Nazis threatened to kill any family harboring Jews, Poland was the only country where they actually did it.

And frankly, the conduct of the Allies towards Poland wasn't much better. The world stood by when Poles and Jews made their last stand in teh Warsaw Ghetto, as the Red Army stood by and watched the Nazis wipe out any resistance to their future rule. The west aquiesed to Stalin's plan to steal Poland's land and displace the survivors.

If you want a list of folks who owe Poland an apology, Obama is actually pretty far down on the list.

 

[Unkotare]

Everyone knows he's a closeted gay man.

Leaving aside your apparently intense interest in the subject, how would you know that and why would anyone care?



Just because you are a far-left radical doesn't mean you have to emote dramatically ALL the time.

Yes, I've noticed that trend among the Left-leaning folks.....

Can 'book burning' be far behind?


Carry on.

I would know that because he was arrested in the 1970's for soliciting a gay prostitute.

Do some research. How does a man get married four times and not produce one child? (Especially since three of these women did have children with other men, so it's not their fault.)

How is it that the third wife was paid a huge settlement that included a non-disclosure agreement?

How it is that the guy gets caught with viagra in his napsack flying to the Dominican Republic?

Use some sense, guy. Limbaugh is a guy with some serious personal issues. But as long as he makes you feel comfortable with your racism, homophobia and misogyny, you're a happy guy.

Again, why the hell would you care unless you are personally interested in dating him or something? Going to the trouble know any of that suggests an unnatural obsession. Far left idiots like you probably spend far more time and energy listening to and thinking about the guy than any conservative. I don't think I've ever listened to more than 2-3 minutes of his radio program at a time, but yahoos like you seem to hang on every word. Maybe you should think about that.
