    At least we aren't excusing the continued incompetence and abuse of power.

    If you mean incompetence on Obama's part, that means you want him to DO something else. What, might that BE? Oh, I understand you have NO ideas - just more gum flapping.

    And about that "abuse of power".... We have protection from that by congress.. And, it's YOUR GUY in charge. But, he ain't doing ANYTHING. That you're LETTING Obama "get away" with abuse of power, tells me ALL I need to know.

    Why don't you get the same messages from their INACTION as I do?

    Over to you, winger.

    That you continue to ignore all of the bills the House has put forth or has in the works that will be DOA on Dingy "Americans are a bunch liars" Reid's desk tells me you have no interest in DOING anything and are (oddly) perfectly happy with such abuses you would have condemned in the previous administration I believe your side referred to as Dumbya.

    Has the emperor recalled the US Ambassador as Canada has done ? Nope . Did he attend his national security meeting this week ?Nope . Has he called for a NATO meeting so they can coordinate a unified response ? Nope.
    Has he made it clear that he cannot take a "flexible " position on arms control as long as there are Russian troops in Ukraine ? Nope . Those are just some of the things he could do immediately without threatening the Russians with a nuclear strike.

    That you IGNORE the bills passed by the Senate and are DOA in the Republican lead House, tells me that you're a one way puppy.. That you don't mention it takes REPUBLICANS to pass bills in the Senate, tells me that you live in an alternate world than I do.

    But, we KNEW that.

    even the Compost thinks his foreign policy is not based in reality .
    President Obama’s foreign policy is based on fantasy - The Washington Post

    Quote:

    as long as some leaders play by what Mr. Kerry dismisses as 19th-century rules, the United States can't pretend that the only game is in another arena altogether. Military strength, trustworthiness as an ally, staying power in difficult corners of the world such as Afghanistan — these still matter, much as we might wish they did not. While the United States has been retrenching, the tide of democracy in the world, which once seemed inexorable, has been receding. In the long run, that's harmful to U.S. national security, too. As Mr. Putin ponders whether to advance further — into eastern Ukraine, say — he will measure the seriousness of U.S. and allied actions, not their statements. China, pondering its next steps in the East China Sea will do the same. Sadly, that's the nature of the century we're living in.

    They can't vote if he doesn't bring them to the floor, which he won't do. He's too busy calling Americans liars and refusing - again - to pass a budget.

    Okie dokie then. Meanwhile, Syrians disappointed in Obama's tough talk followed by a cave to the Russians, are telling Ukrainians not to get their hopes up for anything useful from the U.S.

    Don't know why anyone is surprised, he promised to "lead from behind." That was one promise he kept.

    And in a moment of international crisis such as this what would this administration's response naturally be? That's right, bash Bush.

    they'd much rather give Putin a cartoonish red reset button.

    You know that mislabeled reset button? Turns out it was also stolen from a hotel, not only giving them a stolen mislabeled "gift" to "reset relations" but leaving the hotel without an emergency stop button, which is not cool.

    Hello again, tom:

    What Montesquieu said very well MIGHT be true. But, in the United States of America, OUR House is controlled by Republicans, and the Democrats NEED Republicans to pass any legislation in the Senate. So, we're a LONG, LONG way from what I think, YOU think is going on.

    So you are saying that the opposition party must role over and play dead ;essentially fulfilling the Montesquieu quote. Believe me ....if I have any critique of Speaker Bonehead ,it's that he has caved too often to the will of the emperor . Has spending been cut or even reduced ? No . There is no effective debt limit or restrictions on spending at all . And yet the emperor has the onions to tell the country we have been in austerity and that he wants a $4 trillion budget this year. Spare me the bs that the emperor hasn't gotten his way. He got his stimulus spending .He got his national government managed health care plan passed . His social agenda is on the march with the assistance of the compliant 3rd branch of government . America is in retreat around the world ,as he desired . What he doesn't get from the legislative branch he unconstitutionally usurps . Where is the opposition you speak of ?
    My link to the book was specifically about foreign policy...his diplomatic and foreign policy blunders ,and his bluster that is globally recognized as phony .

    Of course you have a point, I assume. Or some facts to go with your pictures. Maybe not huh?
