Iraq: Barack Obama’s self-regarding goodness is bad news for the rest of us

“The Peace President is starting to leave a legacy of war.”

Barack Hussein Obama.

Did we really need more proof?

These are crucial times, in deed. Muslim enemies are on the march. Putin’s tanks are rolling in. Numerous domestic scandals that would sink any other president. This “president” is overwhelmed and all he can offer are investigations and studies. All, results of his policies.

Isn’t that just typical of America - give a difficult and unrewarding job to an oppressed black man!

I’ve decided to refer to him as TWMFAG or The world’s most famous amateur golfer rather than wasting the word president on him.

(I suppose FAG or “Famous Amateur Golfer” will do)

He held out the hand of friendship.... and it began to hang a bit limp.

His wrist has always been limp.

Has he ever broken 100?

His golf scores have apparently disappeared into the same abyss as his college transcripts and Lois Lerner's e-mails.

[Logical me]

This “president” is overwhelmed and all he can offer are investigations and studies

And expensive vacations, parties, golf, trips around the world, etc, etc.

baraq has no love for the US, he is against it

Putin’s or Barry’s?

Suck it up, Brits (and Euros). You were all-in for this turd six years ago. Now live with it.

I recall when the dufus was elected POTUS, Rush Limbaugh was excoriated because he said he hoped he fails on his policies . Well he has not failed. He has followed through on his promises, and we are suffering the consequences.

“Weakness is provocative to bad actors, and some of the world’s worst have now been provoked”

This is what Obama brought us — nobody is taking the US seriously any more.

[kevslisababy]

I sure hope there are some adults in the background waiting to take the keys from the drunken teenagers!

[Kansas58]

Great post, thanks!

[skeeter]

I'm sure the American news media, if they monitor foreign news at all, are totally confused by the opinion expressed here except for one thing - the writing is critical of Obama and they disagree with it.

In another era I would have confidence that Americans in a relatively homogenous society would be repelled by the failures of this administration and correct matters at the next election.

But now, I'm afraid, we are no longer as cohesive and there are far too many here who came to simply pick America's bones and these types don't give a rip what happens to the US in the long run. They'll vote for Charles Manson if he promised to keep the gravy train running.

I have never referred to him by the “p” word.
