'Too Cautious' Obama Urged To Get Tough On Russia and ISIS Republicans and Democrats call on president to take harder approach on Russian intervention in Ukraine and Isis in Syria

Kerry: ‘airstrikes alone’ will not defeat ‘genocidal’ Isis

Dan Roberts in Washington 31 August

Barack Obama was on Sunday urged to take a tougher approach towards Russia and Syria, as Republicans and Democrats returned from their summer vacations in confrontational mood.

After a week in which the president was criticised for failing to develop military plans for tackling Islamic State militants inside Syria and taking a relatively cautious approach to Russian incursions in Ukraine, senior figures in Congress took turns to demand greater US intervention.

Senator Robert Menendez, the Democratic chairman of the foreign relations committee and an administration loyalist, called for the US to arm the Ukrainian military with advanced weapons, that it might defend itself against Russia.

“This is a watershed moment,” said Menendez, speaking from the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, where he is on the latest of a series of congressional fact-finding visits. “Thousands of Russian troops are here and are directly engaged in what is clearly an invasion.

These journalists need to say it bluntly. Obama the Community Organizer is way in over his head for this job.

Bret Stevens put in well. See

Obama will come up with a hashtag campaign that will blow Putin’s mind!

Late in the 1970’s, Saudi Arabia was looking for a person to act as a mole in the U.S. Government. Late in the 1980’s they found a fellow in Chicago by the name of Barry Soetoro, an Indonesian Muslim, working as a community activist.

The Saudi Royal Family paid for him to go to Harvard Law School using the name of Barak Hussein Obama II. Bill Ayres wrote the ‘autobiography’ Dreams From My Father, which is pure propaganda, to introduce him to the black population in Chicago. Hence all the lies.

The whole reason that his school records from Punahoi in Hawaii, Occidental College in CA, and Columbia University in NY are off limits is because he registered at those institutions as Barry Soetoro, foreign student from Indonesia.

If you want to run as a black man in the U.S.A., the truth that you are a southeast Asian, born and bred, will not get you elected either to the U.S. Senate or the Presidency.

I do not believe so. Putin, through the CPUSA knows perfectly well who Obama really is.

....”as Republicans and Democrats returned from their summer vacations in confrontational mood”.....

No doubt they chit-chatted with each other while pool side etc. And now they think they can sway BO to act differently then they’ve already seen him do for months now? Nah.

We KNEW Obama was NOT fit for the job throughout the entire 2008 campaign.
Any normally functioning human being could see that the candidate Obama while being a good orator (Sophist) had no substance to his character whatsoever.
When he won, he was in shock for about 2 years just trying to figure out, how the American electorate put him in power so he felt cool and a great winner which only pumped up his ego and hubris.

Then, came the Nobel Peace Prize for...uh, hmmm, nothing and he was King of the World!

It was a sham from the beginning and now we are all in VERY serious trouble.

This is a President elected at one of history's critical junctures and times of crisis mostly brought about by his policies or lack thereof.

All those preppers were right, the Doomsday scenario is closer now than at any point since October 1962.

Putin knows EXACTLY who Barry is and that has allowed him to run roughshod over him.
Putin, ex-KGB, did all his homework and has acted accordingly. The clincher for Putin was Barry's “Red Lines” in Syria. Since that day when he backed down, it's been Putin Holiday ever since.

Remember the old “Doomsday Clock”? The One minute to midnight thing?

We are there and when Iran gets the bomb, the planet slips into the Dark Ages but wait! Barry said “all options are on the table”. Question is, where’s the table?

It’s the “immediately afterwards’ PART OF YOUR STATEMENT THAT GETS ME. So does that mean Israel gets nuked too?

According to Dr. Jim Garrow, there were seven other young men also being financed and groomed by the Saudis—for the White House. The other seven are now dead.

“Obama” is protecting 22 terror training camps in the U.S.:
