Obama is Jello. He is laughed at by the world. He is weak as Romin Noodles.

He looks more and more like one.

You bet President Obama’s afraid of Putin. Physically, tangibly, change-the-diaper afraid.

Yes, but Obama said that we have the strongest military in the world! Obama said that to his face!

Of course, substance is absent from this administration.

And yet, let me offer a sliver of hope. The enemedia is supported by eyeballs and the subsidies they’re paid for bundled cable. Deny them eyeballs, deny them those subsidies and they die.

Cutting the cable is a patriotic act. And easy given that there are free and close to free alternate sources of info out there.

I don’t think it’s possible to humiliate a man with the ego the size of Obama’s.


Unless the world totally melts down, Obama will retire in 15.5 months to a life of luxury, either in HI or CA. Beyond that, he doesn’t care much. Putin may be humiliating him, but Obama seems to be able to ram his agenda domestically w/o any opposition.

The other thing is that anything Putin does in Syria is small potatoes compared to the loss of the Ukraine (which has been a major headache for Putin). I’l also not sure that Obama does not want to see the US weakened/humiliated internationally anyway. How else does one explain the Iran deal?

Why? Obama’s doing such a fine job humiliating himself!

I imagine Putin has access to a LOT of information about Barry O and Valerie and Frank. I never thought the day would come - but I am rooting for Russia over America.

Putin should deal with his own country’s problems, which is a mess and stop harrassing Christian countries, such as Georgia and the Ukraine. And, oh, by the way, Taliban with Uzbek Islamic Movement and ISIS are seizing Afghan cities and advancing towards Tajikistan borders, a Central Asian nation, which is Russia’s back yard and soft belly. But, hey, Assad is more important.

Then you should move to Russia and make space for people who root for America over Russia.

Humiliating Obama does not take nearly that much time nor effort.

Pop the Pop Corn! This will be fun to watch. The White House Briefing Room, come in Josh, Josh come in, where are you?

I know there's a certain level of enjoyment in seeing obama get bested and humiliated...but remember, whether we voted for him or not, he's still the POTUS. It's not obama who's being damaged it's the USA. We're losing...make that we've lost...influence and control of a hugely important strategic area of the world. Very soon Russia and Iran will control all of the ME, and the greatest part of the world's supply of oil. They are posing an existential threat to Israel, and probably Jordan as well. This NOT good. obama has more than a year left in office and by the time he's gone we're going to be faced with an entirely altered global power situation that will not be good for us, or the world.

I'm not popping any pop corn, I'm praying hard that something happens to stop this.

How on earth a single individual (the potus) managed to take the most powerful military machine on earth and reduce it to a laughingstock is beyond comprehension. I don't buy into the false doctrine of "karma" but I definitely believe in the law of sowing and reaping as described by the apostle Paul.

America is beginning to reap what she's sown. And it's going to be really bad.

I only pray that, like during Elijah's time, there are enough to prevent a "scorched earth" policy.

Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

I am totally with you. I don’t understand those people who wet their pants in glee over America’s humiliation, particularly on this, supposedly, conservative blog.

After seeing the White House lit up in rainbow colors, and the downright deification of homosex by our political leadership, our corporate world, and our sewer of a culture... America’s humiliation is not something that remotely disconcerts me anymore.

I hope Putin continues to kick Obama’s teeth in.

Putin has bet on the Shia world against the Sunni Muslims and is well along in the process of building a wall of allies from Tehran to Tripoli.

The new Sunni Arab coalition is winning in Yemen. Admittedly not a good place for Iran to make a stand, which they did, and they're losing, but Iran's military is vastly overrated. Putin would be wise to take the Sunni Arab coalition's new-found unity into account. Shia factions are not united.

Both Russia and Iran are economic basket cases. Yes, Russia could tip the scale and make his bet on the Shia a winning one. The US of course, could make Putin's bet a bad bet, but Obama's still in charge.

Iran can't even get Iraq, predominantly Shia, to join with them, perhaps because Iran is first and foremost, Persian and not Arab.

Then there's Israel, their interests now mesh completely with those of the Sunni Arabs. I'm not so sure Putin can pull this off, even with Obama twiddling his thumbs.
