Remember Obama Mocking Romney Over Russia Concerns?
The Blaze ^ | 2 Mar 2014 | Dave Urbanski

Posted on 03/02/2014 6:51:47 AM PST by mandaladon

First Sarah Palin was proven right about her Russia-invading-Ukraine prediction she made — and got mocked for — in 2008. Now it’s Mitt Romney’s turn to take a bow for having “clear eyes” on Russia’s future threat potential.

Fox News’ Bret Baier opened a segment of his show Friday night by flashing back to an October 2012 presidential debate where President Obama ridiculed Republican presidential nominee Romney about his concern over Russia’s “geo-political” threat.

“You said Russia. Not Al Qaida. You said Russia,” Obama said regarding biggest threats. “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because…the cold war’s been over for 20 years.”

Romney offered a powerful retort: “Russia, I indicated, is a geopolitical foe…and I said in the same paragraph I said and Iran is the greatest national security threat we face. Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. I’m not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin…”

I count Bill O’Reilly as the latest member of this crowd.

BOR has consistently given Obama “the benefit of the doubt” despite the mountain of ever increasing evidence that Obama is unfit, unworthy, and untrustful.

IMO BOR put his desire for interviews ahead of “watching out for the folks”.

Bill O’Reilly is a real case of ignorance. His support for King Obama is without doubt. This pompous fool should be kicked off Fox.

******************************************************************

Bill O’Reilly also called Obama “a patriot”—now just how obtuse and how much of a “pinhead” can O’Reilly be?

And O’Reilly is definitely NOT “watching out for the folks” as he so frequently says—he’s watching out for Bill O’Reilly above all.

“The maturity of an 8 year old.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Maybe a modern eight year old but NOWHERE NEAR the maturity of an eight year old of a hundred or more years ago. Actually you may have even insulted today’s eight year olds.

remember Romney destroying the republican opposition and then going belly up for zer0.

I know. It's sickening how establishment Republicans fight their own base harder than they do the perceived opposition.

My first impulse is to give him a punch in the face, although that would be a bit immature. Fitting, for this POTUS, however.

The Chi/Gang are a super-strain of malevolent con artists.

Reminds me of the psychological weapon called "gaslighting"....taken from the film noir classic, "Gaslight."

Charles Boyer's character was a glib con artist, murderer and thief---he ingratiated himself w/ Ingrid Bergman, and married her, in order to move into her house----a house she inherited from her murdered aunt (murdered by Boyer for her hidden valuables).

Later the term "gaslighting" became a term to describe a pattern of psychological abuse in which the victims are gradually manipulated into doubting his/her own reality---involves the con artists using emotional gimmicks---cons often playacting as "victims" so as to dupe and disorient the targets experiencing the catastrophic effects of abusive behavior.

The desired effect of "gaslighting" is to maintain the abuser's image as a sympathetic person, while simultaneously priming the disoriented victim to believe that he/she is to blame for the ruinous mind-bending effects of their calculated mistreatment.

The Chi/crowd is an all-encompassing, well-oiled gaslighting machine......adept at co-opting the entire socio/political structure, duping the MSM and academia into becoming compliant accomplices. Democrats become prostrate----as they willingly march in lockstep, in obeisance to Obama.

Did backstabber Romney APOLOGIZE to Gov. Palin yet
for attacking her? No. The worm Romney just wants credit for
what SHE SAID.

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Agree he’s been using the abuser’s image as a sympathetic person scam from the get go only a stooge would buy into anything he says.
