At first many thought he was just a novice Community Organizer from Chicago with no experience but he seemed to be so darn cool that the masses put him into office on a whim, with no hard evidence that he could do the job.

Now, with more than 7 years experience under his belt many think he was just a novice Community Organizer from Chicago with no experience but he seemed to be so darn cool that the masses put him into office on a whim, with no hard evidence that he could do the job.

Result? Unmitigated disaster.

That is an amazing video, and no doubt it will be taken down. This Admiral was there to see it all and knows the Truth, and now names the players of Americas mass destruction.

John Kerry introduced him???? rofl.

....why any Republican would have been better than Obama

Any Republican who was a half-way acceptable candidate would've beaten Obama. McCain is, and was back then, certifiably insane. People didn't trust his judgement or trust him as Commander in Chief. Romney is (and was) an elitist snob who campaigned hard for the nomination, then refused to even campaign for the votes of the less fortunate 47% of the population.

Again this time, the Republican candidate most likely will lose if it isn't a candidate chosen in an honest way, to reflect the choice of voters.

VDH at least referred to this administration being so inept it seems conscious.

Sometimes it is hard to distinguish between negligence or ineptitude and malice.

I know. And the results of Obama prove that the idea that we must have a perfect conservative or let a liberal win are not healthy for our nation, if you believe in freedom and the rule of law.

Your point is you’d rather accept Obama than a less than perfect Republican. We see the results of failure and progressive policies everywhere. I’m all for getting the best conservative. I won’t turn the government over to the socialist because I don’t have a perfect conservative to vote for. Two groups of people elected Obama. Those who voted for him and those who didn’t vote against him because they couldn’t believe he’d be worse than Romney.

Kerry didn’t introduce him. Kerry wouldn’t attend a pro American gathering like that.

Exactly right. But now that attitude seems to have conveniently changed with management.

It isn't who I'd vote for....FWIW, I stayed home rather than vote for McCain, but I did vote for Romney. It's about who can win in November. It has to be someone with Trump's ability to fire up the "undecided" population and give them a reason to vote Republican. None of the wannabees seem to have that skill.

Conservatives just aren't going to vote for a Republican candidate who has been manipulated into the nomination and whose track record doesn't support conservative issues. Certainly, such a person would not give voters a reason to vote Republican if they haven't before. A really bad forced choice (Jeb, Kasich etc) would the elite AGAIN choosing to lose rather than cede power to Constitutional Conservatives.

Hanson is one of those who can’t bring himself to call a traitor a traitor, unlike real men like Dan Greenfield. He only flirts with the idea by dancing around with euphemistical terms like “deliberate” acts, when deep down he knows them to be treasonous acts. Few are willing to tell the emperor who he really is.

Obama’s Middle East Blunders, Putin’s Gains

So what exactly has Putin gained? The chance to send troops and aircraft into the Middle East cesspool. The change to spend billions if not trillions on propping up Syria and Iraq. The chance to piss off his own considerable Muslim population. Congratulations, Vlad.

I don’t recognize Kerry’s voice or see him in the opening of the video. It was a private meeting.

I have seen that video before and there was no mention of Kerry.

And we can imagine what was said about Obama and his administration that was said off camera. It wasn’t flattering, I’m sure.

Thanks for pointing that out but it can’t be so.

Thanks.

There is nothing to take up. It’s not important at all.

Evidentially it was as you sought me out twice to correct me. Toodles.
