I'm picturing Obama's first Intel briefing. His eyes get wider and wider, and he keeps repeating "Holy s**t........ Holy s**t........ Holy s**t........"

Then he gets up and says to his adviser: "Let's appease the moonbats, but most of the War on Terror STAYS."

Yeah, in a pig’s eye maybe. He’s already done an about face on many items. John effin going to Syria? That’s ripe. Or attending the Israel bashfest that the UN will be holding in Durban? Yep, very similar to Bush’s WOT /sarc off/

It’s spin cover for the liberals to post and echo that “there is no roll back”

Watch the lib blogs plaster this accross the net while ignoring a state dept salute to chavez, and pakistan surrendering to the taliban, the allowance of foreigners into the military {without greencards}...

Yes. So far he has shown zero leadership and toughness and will continue to do so because that is his character and nothing is going to change it.

How could that be possible. Obama does not even recognize the enemy is Islam. He and his Admin are running around kissing every muslim ass he can find. How is that productive in defeating the islamofacists?

Yeah, I remember well President Bush's dropping criminal charges against those USS Cole bombers, and his plans to close Gitmo.
