How can the once great nation survive when vast swaths of individuals function via the sort of irrationality shown in the following post:
In a recent thread entitled "All You Have To Know About Obama," an individual representative of the sort of defectives so common on the board, posted this:
One hardly knows where to begin....so very much grist for this mill!
So...as highlighted in a recent interview with Obama's former Sec'y of Defense, let's see how accurate "Restored respect for America globally" really is....and use this as a gauge of the insanity that views Obama as any more than an abject failure.
I present the following as a refutation of the insanity.
1. "WASHINGTON — Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has become the latest former member of President Obama’s cabinet to fire a missile at his old boss, saying the president’s 2013 decision to ignore his own “red line” on Syrian military action “hurt the credibility” of Mr. Obama’s word around the world.
2. ....Hagel also echoed other former colleagues....Obama’s decision to ignore his own red line on Syria has come under scrutiny in the two years since, as the United States struggles with a strategy to usher out President Bashar al-Assad and roll back the gains of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
3. ...Obama had said the use of chemical weapons by the Assad government would trigger a military response by the United States. But facing opposition in Congress, he did not follow through after Mr. Assad killed hundreds of civilians with such weapons.
4. “There’s no question in my mind that it hurt the credibility of the president’s word when this occurred.”
Mr. Hagel said that he still heard complaints to this day from foreign leaders about Mr. Obama’s about-face. “A president’s word is a big thing, and when the president says things, that’s a big deal,” he said.
5. White House officials also expressed annoyance over a sharply critical two-page memo that Mr. Hagel sent to Ms. Rice last year, in which he warned that the administration’s Syria policy was in danger of unraveling because of its failure to clarify its intentions toward Mr. Assad." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/19/u...ce-on-syria-hurt-obamas-credibility.html?_r=0
So....a picture of a President unsure of what policies to pursue, unable to keep his word, and demanding of 'yes men' even when he has presumably selected advisers based on their expertise.
This, just one of dozens of foreign policy failures by this man who was never prepared to be President.
And reveals quite a lot about the mental well being of the dunce who posted this:
