My apologies for spamming this point, but I believe its important to start this thought moving:

:

It seems to me every commentator is missing the biggest implication of this fiasco. Obama and his administration had to have really believed they had this in the bag, that it was a done deal. If they thought otherwise, they would have been managing expectations of the press that this was a hard sale

This means that we have a president and his staff who is either too arrogant or too stupid to see the reality of his negotiating position. Either reason is cause for grave concern when he is faced with negotiating with our enemies.

In short, we are screwed.

Another article pointed out in detail how the Obama regime says they had "bad intelligence" and were convinced that this was a close call, and a personal presidential push would close the deal. Many articles have finished with the concluding question that if he can't get this right what will happen when he gets down to business with foreign rivals and adversaries.

It's been done. You can stop spamming any time.

Obama screwed up when he didn’t appoint an Olympic czar to blame when he couldn’t deliver. laughing!

Socialist utopia has never delivered anything but anger for it’s failure to attain true equality.

It’s been a challenge to decide if he’s just an ego-driven leftist or a completely incompetent man who’s out of his depth.

Your “spam point” reconciles the two.

The Olympics debacle is illustrative of the driving forces of this administration.

We’re in for some messes that will be very tough to untangle.

And now we getting set to commence to start to get more serious about a move in the direction of coming to an understanding of allowing a broader observation of and inspection of a part of the means that will be used to kill millions.

0bama cannot negotiate. If he can't get it with charm or coersion he is up a creek.

And he believes far, far to much in his "gift." He thinks everything he talks up is going to happen.

I predict that there are other failures that will totally blindside the Obama team: The failure of Cap and Tax, The health care bill's failure to pass, The failure of most Democrat incumbents to retain their seats in 2010, and finally, Obama's humilitating, crippling defeat at the hands of Sarah Palin in 2012.
