Russia Makes a Fool Out of Obama, Over and Over
American Thinker ^ | August 12, 2013 | Kim Zigfeld

Posted on 08/12/2013 5:24:07 AM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

The worst has finally happened. It took much longer than expected -- nearly two thousand days -- but Barack Obama's foreign policy has finally collapsed, leaving Americans to gape slack-jawed at the smoking ruins. Obama has undermined American influence and honor in ways that will be very difficult to repair.

Writing in the Moscow Times, Russian attorney Vladimir Berezansky plays the funeral dirge. He calls Russia's granting of asylum to Edward Snowden a "Suez moment." By this he means that China and Russia have effectively burst the bubble of American power in the same way that the U.S. burst the bubble of French and British power during the Suez crisis. The latter two nations were never the same afterwards, and, Berezansky argues, neither will the USA be after Snowden. Watching Obama's helplessness as these two malignant dictatorships thumb their noses at America reminds one of nothing so much as the Iran hostage crisis and the Afghanistan invasion, where Jimmy Carter's presidency ran aground.

The weird thing is that Obama doesn’t even seem to notice. He’s just as impressed with himself as he ever was.

I think we miss the point. This IS, WAS and WILL be his intent.

Remember he set out to transform America.

He never really publicly defined the specifics.

Go back to Reagan’a words — “watch what they DO, not what they say.”

The seemingly inept, impotent and feckless foreign policy is indeed on purpose.

You are witnessing the deliberate transformation of the USA into something much less than what it was, and eventually will be again.

Obama makes a fool of his own damn self. He needs no help from Russia.

And, sadly, so are his sycophants. If a new election were announced for this November, he would probably carry every state he carried last November with the exception of Florida.

Free stuff trumps national security, sovereignty or anything else for this large gaggle of idiots.

Russia does not and cannot make a fool out of obama. The kenyan is a self-made man.

Only if the GOP can be made to support re-industrializing America.

The GOP is currently SOLD OUT, making things elsewhere.

Bring back US manufacturing. We need to provide American jobs.

Now who was Secretary of State during the 2000 days that all this was happening?

The bigger fools here are the RUSSIANS, not our Kenyan POTUS, not at all.
Our Barry is completely ON THEIR SIDE, and those idiot commies don’t seem to know it.

Send back Snowdon, and who know what he’d give ‘em in return—Alaska? Hawaii?

Madame President 2016, per the lamestream media.

“Free stuff trumps national security, sovereignty or anything else for this large gaggle of idiots.”

It's more than just ‘free stuff’. We are a society divided, along many lines, and many of these divisions are the byproduct of political manipulation over years (e.g. class warfare and race baiting). Further, we have an educational system, a media, and an entertainment industry that have become instruments of propaganda, like Pravda was. Add to that the destabilizing effects of unassimilated shifting demographics and you have the formula for self-destruction.
