Which gets back to our motto: When Democrats are in charge, stupid things happen.

Other than blowing the heads off 3 Somalian pirates, I haven't agreed with a single thing this moron has done in his 6 months, including his choice of Broadway plays on "Date Night".

Maybe, in the conflict of the future, he doesn’t really want us to win.

No "maybes" about it. He wants America to lose - at everything.

***Democrats are like the guy drilling holes in the boat while you’re bailing out water. We’re trying to defend our country, they’re giving away our weapons.***

There’s no doubt in my military mind about THAT!

But the idea, again, is to win.

Another practice of a good poker player is to count cards. Casinos dont like card counters, and why should they? Card counters lower the house's odds to make money.
If people start wising up to all the corruption in the government, by counting cards and getting the information out there with Glen Beck, TEA parties, etc. maybe, just maybe there is some hope for this country.

“Other than blowing the heads off 3 Somalian pirates, I haven’t agreed with a single thing this moron has done in his 6 months....”

And that was a flagrant violation of a truce, during which the leader of the pirates was in custody.
Effective, yes. Immoral, also yes.

Actually Obama had nothing to do with the successful outcome of the hostage crisis, and the rules of engagement were very stifling and contrary to what normal ones would be. Who ever heard of a naval armada sitting 600’ off a small boat with no permission to act? Until they took the initiative contrary to Obama’s wishes, and shot at the very moment one of the pirates pointed a gun at the captain hostage...

While the author makes a good point about Barack giving away the strengths of the U.S. while getting nothing in return, the author's poker analogy is flawed.

If I was playing poker and was dealt four aces and a king, I might find myself wondering whether the deck had been stacked and my opponent had managed to deal himself a straight flush.

Poker is less about what you do when you have an overwhelmingly strong hand and more about what you do in the majority of hands where you may or may not have a winning edge.

The luck of the cards can favor any player. Skill at poker requires the playing of hundreds or even thousands of hands and the ability to win more or lose less than your opponent would do with the same hand.

If you apply the proper poker analogy to Obama, you realize that it matters little what Obama does in any particular instance, as long as he consistently outplays our nation's opponents. Unfortunately, I think our opponents are chuckling to themselves over what a push over Obama is. It will be to their advantage to play many hands and to raise the stakes sooner rather than later.

He parachuted onto the ship to do that?

Actually, to avoid the consquences of a mistaken call, he had to issue "take no action" orders with enough wriggle room that the US Navy Captain could interpret them proactively.

And here I was thinking it was a story about how the silly SOB was making a celebrity appearance at some ESPN event.
