Barack Obama, President Oh-bummer (Wash Post slams Obama)
wash post ^ | 11/24/15 | d millbank

Posted on 11/25/2015 5:41:17 AM PST by bestintxas

The two presidents stood in the East Room on Tuesday afternoon, united in their goal of defeating the Islamic State but separated by a stylistic gulf as vast as the Atlantic.

On the left, facing the cameras, was François Hollande, war president. He spoke of “cowardly murderers” who “dishonor humanity,” of a “relentless determination to fight terrorism everywhere and anywhere,” of “an implacable joint response,” of “hunting down their leaders” and “taking back the land.”

On the right stood Barack Obama, President Oh-bummer.

Defeating the Islamic State?

“That’s going to be a process that involves hard, methodical work. It’s not going to be something that happens just because suddenly we take a few more airstrikes.”

A political settlement in Syria?

“It’s going to be hard. And we should not be under any illusions.”

Could the Paris attacks have been prevented?

“That’s hard — that’s a hard thing to track. . . . That’s a tough job.”

...not interested in Leading, not interested in Winning.

Of course not. Chauncey is too busy organizing his flip-flops and aloha shirts for his annual Hawaii getaway in a few weeks.
As Fredrick March asked in “The Bridges of Toko-Ri,” ...”Where do we find such men?”

I never thought in my wildest imagination that I would ever think more highly of a post-Soviet KGB head of Russia more than I would the president of the United States.

Milbank is just making it so he can support Hillary when she says things against Obama’s policies.

The most objectionable thing Obama said was, "My fellow Americans..."

He isn't MY fellow American, if he is American at all.

All Millbunk is saying is that Obama should be more forceful in tone. There is no understanding that Obama is actually the enemy and a supporter of ISIS. He is still a useful fool—or a media collaborator.

Millbunk is stillbunk.

I am sick and tired of bad mouthing POTUS, Obama? Why? Because from the day Obama was sworn in....every move, every action, every speech, every lie, he has told...tells me that he was a turncoat and traitor from day one of his POTUS term....and most proably long before that!!! He is a sworn enemy of these United States of America and the all the American people. I wait for all of our politicos & our biased media to tell Americans the truth of this rabid, evill America hater!!! No Hope & Change in his heat and soul....ever!!! America...you sit in severe harm’s way & most of you are asleep at the wheel!!! Obama must be forced to resign or be impeached!!!
