Putin Pulls Obama's Strings
Townhall ^ | Sept 10, 2013 | Neal Boortz

Posted on 09/10/2013 12:51:44 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Well, if you’re one of those out there who has thus far failed to see the dominance of Vladimir Putin in the Putin/Obama relationship … the light surely must be shining now. In the last 24 hours our Dear Ruler has managed to show not only America, but the rest of the world, just how weak he is on the world stage.

A bit of a recap here to show you what kind of a bind Obama was in:

· Obama goes off-teleprompter (always a dangerous thing) and comes up with this “red line” gaff. He is then on the record as saying that Assad will be dealt with harshly if he dares to use chemical weapons.

· Assad uses (or at least Obama and Kerry say he used) chemical weapons against his own people.

· Obama realizes how badly he screwed up with his “red line” comment. His credibility, whatever is left of it, is on the line.

· Obama seeks help from Great Britain. For the first time since 1792 the British Parliament refuses to go along with a request from the Prime Minister to use force. Obama is in this on his own.

· Obama needs someone to stand with him on this, so he tells the nation he will seek an approval vote for the Congress. It soon becomes clear the congress is not going along. The Senate…maybe…but not the house. Obama is feeling even more lonely and exposed.

· Obama calls in the campaign team, Plouffe et al. It’s not policy he’s looking for, it’s words. They tell him to tell the world that the red line isn’t really his. Fail.

· Virtually all polls taken of the American people show strong opposition to Obama’s planned attack on Syria.

Pinnochio told the Russkis that he’d be “more flexible” after the 2012 “elections”. Pooty Poo can make him dance now.

And then his amateur idiot Secretary of State opens his mouth about “international control,” only to have the State Department try to “unsay” the words. Putin jumps on it, 0bama has an out to save face.

Talk about pwning someone. Putin just accomplished keeping Assad in power, keeping the Saudi pipeline out of Syria, embarrassing 0bama on the world stage, AND having 0bama “owe” him a favor. And Putin got it all for free!!!!!

Sadly, I am unable to defeat the advertising at the site to see the rest of the article. So I won’t be reading further.

America is on the eve of destruction, thanks to political correctness and the efforts of the media and White Guilt liberals who put this amateur Commie Muslim in charge.

If we impeach this idiot we have Joe Biden, the class clown next up and further down the line Boehner who is afraid of his own shadow.

We have one Jr. Representative with balls and conservatism who may be able to pull us out of it, but it looks like America will go with the Bitch of Benghazi for president.

“the ass-kicker, the community organizer and the gasser”

Puts things in perspective quickly, especially the contrast between the first two.

Notice how Obama (and his “team”) have been behind the curve with Putin at every step?

They run around looking foolish and incompetent while trying to formulate a response to Putin’s latest move.

Just as they seem to arrive at some kind of a face-saving reponse,

POW !

Putin throws another wicked fastball right by them!

There’s more...
- Obama cancels the vote in Congress
- The UN tries to attach teeth to a Syrian resolution and Russia kills it. Now the UN security council has cancelled its meeting on Syria.

Now Syria doesn’t even have to give up its weapons. And as you mentioned Assad stays in power, no Saudi pipeline, Putin makes Obama look like a fool, and Obama has to thank him for it.
