Krauthammer: Debacle in Moscow
The Washington Post ^ | October 16, 2009 | Charles Krauthammer

Posted on 10/16/2009 4:45:44 AM PDT by Puzzleman

--snip--

The Russian leadership, hardly believing its luck, needs no interpreter to understand that when the Obama team clownishly rushes in bearing gifts and "reset" buttons, there is nothing ulterior, diabolical, clever or even serious behind it. It is amateurishness, wrapped in naivete, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels.

I’ll bet the Russians have a 50 teams of Spetnaz and FSB in Washington DC, making sure nothing happens to “Their Gift from Heaven”.

No one can tear the Left a new A-hole like Krauthammer. He is a pundit equivalent of a surgeon: he goes right for the heart and wields language like a scapel. The man is a national treasure (for the Right).

Don't shoot the messenger. He is closing a few gaps in the reporting on these events. Madamn (sic) Secretary is forced to carry the fowl (sic) water of the OZero’s insipid Chamberlainesc policy.

No wonder we know nothing about OZero’s suspected drug pushing during the 80’s. Rather than confront an opponent, he just moved to a different street corner. No confrontation, no shots fired, no arrests.

Just about nine months in office and the gestation period of redistribution and non confrontational diplomacy needs an abortion.

Don't think so. A surgeon would impeach Pres_ _ent Obama.
Krauthammer acts like a shrink who bedded his patient
rather than diagnose her, and now tries to act with honor.

That's what I've long called Obama! It's a fact, Obama is the gardener from the movie, “Being There”!

And the sad fact is that the world initially thought Obama was a serious person and now there on to him that he is completely vacuous. A friend of mine once told me, “When you put a clown in charge, you get funny results.”

Obama is screwing every thing up. He has zero success.

Good point. Krauthammer loved Obama. Tried to help sell this guy back months ago saying he was okay. We tried to tell Krauthammer and now we are eventually, and quite literally, going to have disaster visited upon us in this country.

This column terrifyingly demonstrates how utterly Obama is shifting the very foundation of this country right out from under our feet.

Except it's not very funny is it? It's darn right dangerous.

Hopefully the Russians still believe we have free and fair elections and can re-elect adult leadership in 4 years.

or maybe they know better.

Day by day, “O” is proving that you can fill a galaxy with what he does NOT know.

Evita is just aping what she thinks diplomats do. You can put what she knows about diplomacy in the navel of a flea and still have room for a new Cadillac. Clueless...all of them!!

Of course... without patriotism, love of country, an understanding of American traditions and America’s place in the world, respect for America/Americans and their well-being… what else can we expect from them?

A ship without a rudder...that’s what we are now. And the world knows it!

The leaders of countries all over the world know that it is time to get while the getting is good.

Agree and Bump!

Freepers, if you have never seen the movie “Being There”, now is the time. It’s a modern-day “Emperor has no Clothes” story and a brilliant movie you need to see.

“It is amateurishness, wrapped in naivete, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels.”

“Chauncey Gardiner - And the sad fact is that the world initially thought Obama was a serious person and now there on to him that he is completely vacuous.”
~~~~~~~~~~~

Krauthammer had me cheering up to his very last sentence. Rush keeps saying, “This is not an accident folks; this is by design” and I agree.

Vacuous Chauncey Gardiner, yes, but behind him there are very deliberate manipulators, and together with Obama, they are transforming their common agenda into reality, both domestic and foreign.

If we keep calling Obama incompetent, amateurish, and naive, he will have proven to be the perfect front man-—just like they thought he would be.

well said, and true. krauthammer needs to be taken off center stage for his obama-enabling during the debates and even this year. let him compete for shelf space from the sidelines like we have to.

although not nearly the "intellectual equivalent", Sean Hannitty and others who opposed obama with every ounce of strength and every moment in front of the camera deserve to be 'promoted' for courage under fire.

krauthammer, on the other hand, needs to be removed from active duty for allowing the enemy to gain too much ground.

"It is amateurishness, wrapped in naïveté, inside credulity."

With an Alinskyite twist and Frankfurt School chaser.

Is he now? Is he a failure?

What goals are you measuring his success by?

If you measure by our goals - a prosperous, free society, yeah, he’s failing.

But by HIS goals, maybe he’s a supreme success.
