It's difficult to miss what that is doing to our nation. Obama has even managed to get members of NATO to join Russia in military exercises.
Islam on parade...
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our

Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

In response to Putin’s cooperation with France, Obama has ordered all US NAVY ships to be painted PINK.
Congratulations Idiot Obama! You just made the French and the Russians into Allies.
Only a stupid f***ing idiot could have accomplished such an mind numbingly stupid blunder.

Go get ‘em GPF!

The President doesn't have a very high opinion of his fellow Americans.
Actual quote from "The Audacity of Hope" [pg. 261]:Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging.
They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
Why am I glad we have a Russian leader?
Yep... You know Saudi Arabia has to be very upset.
