Is this 1979?

Is this 1979? “Once again we have an American government that either tacitly or actively undermined an ally in the region in favor of supposedly democratic Islamist radicals, and once again we have an American government that gets taken by surprise when the government that results either fails to protect our embassies and consulates or arguably participated in an attack on them. Once again, the response to those attacks have been more mea culpa than mighty, and once again the weakness of the response puts our other diplomatic missions at risk.” Gee, Barack and Jimmy, very different people but getting pretty much the same lousy results in so many important areas. Weird, huh? Wonder why that is….

    Because they both are and were Manchurian Candidates, and if this doesn't convince you that this POS-In-Chief has to go, you might as well stay home this November and play with that thing between your legs!

  • Once again the failure of the Carter administration has come back to bite us on the ass. Now we're going to get another surgical strike response. Probably before the election and it will probably be done to some group that had nothing to do with the attack. Political points will be tallied and dickboy's proponents will trumpet about what a tough guy he is.
    The proper response is to carpet bomb the next "rally" these assholes hold. Not a straffing run, but a solid carpet bombing of about 6 square miles. Screw the world and their opinion on how we handle it. Innocent people will die, but we won't need to do it very many times before the BS stops and they go back to killing each other like they have for centuries.
    This might seem harsh, but you don't hear of many German or Japanese attacks against the US since about the mid 1940's do you?

    • Of course that owuld LITERALLY be biting the hand that feeds them. The biggest success any country can have is to be beaten in a war by America. Our guilt cuts in for all the bad things we had to do, and we proceeed to rebuild the country, its infrastructure, business, everything, from the ground up. Notice generally speaking, Germany and Japan have stable governments and are fiscally responsible. Our allies? England, France, Greece? IRELAND for GOd's sake? Not so much.

  • The attack on our embassy and personnel is a directly connected to the limp wristed response and bowing down to the so called leaders. What needs to happen is what happens to Sadam. Ass kicked and hung by the neck until dead. barry and Jimmy want to or wanted to appease them instead of kicking the shit out of them. Just like Regan did to Qudaffi and the way W did to Sadam.

    Those who are followers of islam don't think in terms of days, weeks, month or years. They think in decades, centuries and millenniums. That is the mind set of our enemy. The sooner we embrace this idea, the sooner we can defeat them once and for all.

    Something to consider. Muhammad most likely was possed by Lucifer himself when he spouted out all of the evil that these do called followers call prophecy.

    I said it, stand by it and am un-afraid of those who can't stand the thought that Muhammad was just an evil man who also was a pedophile.

    • I thin the great prophet was just a sleazy tribal leader that wanted to round up some extra power for himself. Notince how all the Qu'ran is about the men and their priviledges? Because in the time he live, women were chattel. One of the big shocks about Jesus is that he approved of the disenfranchised, the women, children, the poor and elderly. He gave them all dignity. Not so much in the Old Testament (Jesus' Bible) or Islam.

  • What a failure is Obama. How terrible for America to have this loser running our country. And what a dumb ass too. To cozy up to these Muslim killers and call it an advantage for the US and how it is good democracy and all. Stupid is as stupid does. Disgraceful.

  • If I were Romney, I'd look at the camera and tell the MB that they better pray to Allah that I don't get elected because Obama is the only person who can save them from the hellfire that should reign down on them.

  • Just heard Obama's speech on the Libyan murders. It was delivered in a monotone without any real passion or conviction and no mention of the Cairo attack. I think Obama is saving his anger and hatred for Israel.

    This guy has to go in November.

  • "We already know that President Obama likes to “speak softly” to our enemies. If he doesn’t have a “big stick” to carry, maybe it’s time for him to grow one."

    • I doubt he's ever LOOKED at Jimmy's performance. I doubt he's ever referred back to anyone, since he knows all, sees all, and is clearly the Messiah.

    • One thing you can be sure of: BO will not learn a single thing from Carter’s miserable performance.
      Learn from it? Hell he's doubling down on it.
