Obama is kind of a useless ninny. In America, we like our president to stand up for freedom and democracy, but Obama felt like he couldn’t even be bother to make a mildly forceful statement about Iran until people were being shot in the street because he didn’t want to appear “meddlesome.” Of course, with the economy and health care, its full speed ahead on being meddlesome despite that he obviously had no idea what he’s doing.
Yes, by making the wrong statement, Obama might have made things worse. So he kept silent and he’s done nothing. Some call that prudent, I call it being a coward. Just because you can do the wrong thing standing up for what’s right doesn’t mean you should be too afraid to do anything. At least not if you’re the leader of the free world.
Failure of a U.S. President to stand up for democracy and the right to protest is always wrong. Leaders of the rotests were begging leaders western nations to speak out – some did, Obama did not.
I don’t for one minute believe he stayed silent out of regard for the protesters. I believe he only remained mute in an attempt to placate the current despotic administration in Iran.
So you wanted to know which jobs he “saved or created”?
I think we now know.
The classless disgrace will never do what is right. It is a coward and a moron. People who voted for it should be told daily they are morons. Now they are saying that the damns may ruin our country on thewir own without letting the representatives of 48% of the population have any say what so ever. I wish all democrats death, send them to iran.
Being a useless ninny is par for the course, Frank. The bad news is that it’s only a matter of time before he really screws up.
I broke down and watched ABC’s “Impact” last night for about an hour before I puked pineapple chunks. In a commercial, they announced they’d be in the White House with the President when he “answers your tough questions on health care.”
Then my TV blew-up from some kind of telepathic IED and my vomit mysteriously cleaned itself up.
Aah, but you’re assuming that this president is in favor of freedom and democracy. His actions prove that assumption to be incorrect.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “useless” as “having or being of no use” or “not able to give service or aid”.
I therefore come to the obvious conclusion that the word “useless” does not properly describe Barack Obama. He is the perfect description of the “useful idiot”. And he has given plenty of “service or aid” to the enemies of the United States.
Not that you guys didn’t know that or anything.
(However, the expression “ninny” fits quite well.)
Don’t forget that he also cut funding to pro-democracy groups in Iran. That sends a statement of its own.
It all depends on what “meddlesome” is. Ask the previous Democrat president.
Storm, the previous Democrat (with his Arkansas drawl) would’ve said that “meddlesome” is his shorthand way of saying “middle person in the threesome intern sandwich of love.
POTUS tells protesters to #sand
“leader of the FREE WORLD” ??? Where is that? I don’t feel all that free these days! There isn’t much that I can do or say that some government nit wit has some control over in my life!
DamnCat, I think he’s staying quiet until it’s clear who’ll come out on top, and then claim that’s how he leaned the whole time. Fits perfectly with Bidens “you’ll think he’s wrong, but time will show he was right” speil. That’s been the M.O. of this bunch all along; refuse to take stances that nail you to a position that might not remain politically expediant, and always create situations and language where you cannot lose, such as his fallacy of jobs created or saved.
It’s the classic case of extremely risk averse Democratic leadership; it’s one of the reasons Clinton’s handling of Bin Laden was such a balls-up, and it’s why Obama’s administration will also be a balls-up front to back. Much better to protect your political cover and position than risk losing face doing the right thing. The trick is not to let the cowards get away with it.
Some call that prudent, I call it being a coward.
I call it a being a stupid, commie, pinko, wussbag.
Obama is kind of a useless ninny.
“Kind of”?
“never let a crisis go to waste.”
I guess he couldn’t figure out a way to connect the turmoil in Iran with the urgent, no-time-to-debate, we-must-act-now push to nationalize health-care, so he said “scr*w’em!” and went out for icecream instead.
If the Iranian protestors weren’t trying to get our attention, why would so many of the protest signs be written in English?
When the Iranian government began cracking down, someone suggested that o was taking notes.
If this protest actually succeeds – maybe it’s us who should be taking notes?
“Just because you can do the wrong thing standing up for what’s right doesn’t mean you should be too afraid to do anything. ”
best summary of of the requirement for leadership ever. frnak, i’m impressed.
I’m ashamed that the president of our country is wimping out on Iran. He’s letting others speak for him. We hear he’s “moved.” Give me a break. He’s sending a message loud and clear to Iran that it can clamp down and we’ll do nothing. After the blood dries, we’ll be happy to engage the regime. He’ll continue to try to be Iran’s friend. We did the same thing with China – with an even worse situation at the time. Our tolerance with China has allowed it grow to a position of being able to call the shots with our economy and to insist on removing the dollar as the world’s currency. China literally has ownership of the US by owning so much of our debt. What would have happened if the US has said that it wouldn’t be business as usual with China, and meant it? Would we be under China’s thumb today? Did sucking up to China after it massacred its people do any good, except to US businesses that wanted to export US jobs to China? Signed, Disgusted.
Denis Prager summed the Obama and Iran situation up pretty well this morning. Liberalism = Moral cowardice.
The libs condemn Israel when terrorist hide behind civilians, but have nothing to say to the sociopathic terrorists that cause the bloodshed. The libs are all about condemning Christians for opposing gay marriage, but don’t have anything to say to the misogynist/antisemitic/terrorist supporting religion of peace. The libs are ready to sue the Boy Scouts for meeting on public property and denying openly gay men positions of leadership over young boys, but have nothing to say to Black Panthers blatantly committing voter intimidation. I spit on them and their hypocrisy.
Obama had no trouble telling Isreal what it should do. This country is waking up to Obama’s true agenda. About damn time!!!
I agree HCG, but I’m reserving another bodily fluid to release on that band of cowards.
