The Charge of the Lightweight Brigade ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 20 Mar 2014 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 03/22/2014 9:59:39 AM PDT by Rummyfan

I heard the "leader of the free world" on the radio this morning speaking from the White House on Russia's annexation of the Crimea. President Obama's big thought was about the "choices that the Russian government has made". It was delivered in the condescending tone of a grade-school guidance counselor lecturing Little Vladdy on the "bad choices" he kept making, and what's more "choices that have been rejected by..." Stand well back! "...the international community".

Other than that, the President announced he was imposing "sanctions" for more individuals in the Russian government thinking of visiting Disneyland or opening a savings account with the First National Bank of Dead Cactus Junction. If you're one of those so named and your wife's hassling you for a weekend of shopping on Madison Avenue or Rodeo Drive, tough: Obama's put you on the No-Shop list. For anybody in the Kremlin who still bothers watching US government press conferences, the only real danger from American "pressure" is that you may die laughing.

The American People get the politicians they deserve. We got this clown and his aides. Predictably they blundered and will continue to blunder as it is their nature, their essence their very being. The clown in the White House is a symptom of an underlying malaise in our body politic. The issue has become; will we survive as a Republic the next three years?

I like the way Biden in one foolish episode said, “Just put that double barrelled shotgun and fire two blasts.” Put the shotgun where, Joe? I know exactly where I would like for Joe to put HIS shotgun.

The obvious answer is that he is the sort who is not allowed to exist openly in Islamic countries.

Miss Crabtree - Obama - tries to rap her ruler on the knuckles of a twelve-hundred-pound gorilla in the classroom.

While tying up five of his precious CVN's nose-to-stern at three adjacent quays at Norfolk, as if he were inviting a repeat of Pearl Harbor.

If Russia or China did pull the trigger, it would be "Holder's People" who'd pay the biggest butcher's bill. Think Barky cares about his "dawgs", tho'? ..... Not a chance in hell.

Guy's the worst kind of slime in the universe, an upper-middle-class guy with a grudge and an itch to show off on the world stage and make everybody else pay for his childhood discontents.

It is hard to discriminate between bad bungling and intentional harm. In either case America is being badly damaged.

No contest there, and, unfortunately, no doubt.

We should be having some really big trials somewhere, revolving around the phrase "manifest injury to the People and Government of the United States."

Check out the "body language"...hands, legs, posture, position of head, eye contact, etc...

Imagine ANY other previous recent U.S. President in the same seat as President Obama...include Pres. Carter...what do you see? Not helpful, just amusing to contemplate, IMHO!

NOTE: This is a color-blind post. I am just saying "previous Presidents", all of whom happen to be white and male...body language is body language, it's a neutral concept.

Your picture is backwards. The giveaway is the dogs on the tie who are facing the wrong way.
