It is sad that Obama, Clinton and Kerry have so messed up the Middle East with their “Arab Spring” that Vladimir Putin becomes the hero who brings order out of the chaos.
Putin, allies with Assad. His relations with Iran are improving. (Hey, you don’t see masses of people in the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to Putin! Death to Russia!”) Russia sees Syria as a strategic location. They have moved military to the Syrian border. Putin believes Obama’s fingers in the Middle East have left a vacuum that ISIS is filling. Putin is closely aligned with how many American conservatives view Obama’s bungling of it. More bungling on the next page.
From Putin’s UN speech:
Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”
A report at Jihad Watch answers:
No, they don’t realize what they have done, and they’re poised to do more of it. And those of us who warned at the time that the “Arab Spring” would not lead to “the triumph of democracy and progress,” but to “violence, poverty and social disaster,” were dismissed and derided as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” And no matter how often the establishment analysts get things wrong, and disastrously, and fatally so, they never get called to account, and keep applying the same failed solutions.

Bravo! Well said.
Two choices: Either the Obama regime, who encouraged what they named the “Arab Spring” knew exactly the fallout, and wanted to destabilize the Middle East. Or the Obama regime is delusional and really thought having “JV Team”, ISIS, fill the vacuum. That’s a good thing.
Whatever you think of Putin, he is right about Obama. No easy answers, but with pro-Arab apologists like Samantha Powers as Ambassador to the UN, a real confidante, who has the ear of the President, and was one of the architects of the Arab Spring, you can bet what happens next will be more of the same.
Perhaps after Putin is through eliminating ISIS over there, we can invite him here to take on the tens of thousands of Syrian Islamists that Obama is inviting in.
If your idea of a heroic figure in all of this mess is Vladimir Putin, I have to wonder where the delusion truly lies.
Jack haggard, you are a communist, you support a women who defied a subpoena for her emails, actually destroyed them, her emails rechecked because she didn’t follow protocol on using secure servers.the Russians supposedly made them public,which they would have been unfettered of information act.the people discovered she was a liar,incompetent and irresponsible and voted for a better candidate, you believe that cost her the election so that is influencing the election.deal with it she lost, Americans voted for trump.TRUMP IS YOUR PRESIDENT for the next 8 years
Under Obama unemployment shot to 10%. Just about no matter what happened next that number would decrease which is why they say he has 56 (or whatever it is now) months of steady job growth when in fact it 56 months of people falling off of unemployment benefits.
The economy tanked because of the brilliant liberal idea of subprime lending so the poor/lower class people could own homes despite not being able to afford them. We all know how the ended.
The big three auto makers have been losing insanely to Chinese/Japanese imports all over the world let alone in America. This is something Trump has directly talked about and is planning to rectify.
Obama inherited 2 wars and has since spreading to 7 countries while creating extreme disdain in several others (examples: Israel, Russia) all while praising Castro, lifting sanctions on Cuba and Iran and giving Iran $1.4 billion.
One law that could have been passed is any law that resulted in an balanced budget. That’s what conservatives argue about while Obama just says “let’s raise the debt ceiling”. If anyone ran their life the way Obama has ran the government they would have all of their possessions repossessed and would be in a pauper’s prison. Continuously printing money with no value keeps pushing inflation devaluing what we already have making goods cost more and savings worth less. Look at the whole housing situation. Our national debt exceeds our GDP. We literally have more debt then assets.
Realistically though the “job fix” is like what Trump is pushing for, federally backed infrastructure projects. Obama spent millions on a solar power infrastructure venture in South Africa while states across America are outright banning solar and making it impossible to afford. Even collecting rainwater has become a crime but apparently drug dealing is cool.
Where have Obama’s sights been set?
Yea we learned it from you libs
Yea we learned it from you libs
Da Fuq indeed. Obama went overboard with power, thank God he is gone in 21 days
Have you trumptards got your russian flags yet !
Sorry, but I think you’re a bit off base about a few things, beginning w/ the notion that the only change in employment consisted of folks falling off the unemployment rolls. Not exactly. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/01/08/guess-what-barack-obama-has-been-a-great-president-for-job-creation/?utm_term=.d61d36de8a85
Sure there was as housing meltdown. However, you might take a look at the report by the FCIC,, and you may have difficulty finding support for the notion that Phil Gramm, The Chamber of Commerce and and Greenspan were transformed into liberal elements as they supported and sold the notion of self regulation for the financial sector; that lenders were compelled by anything other than quick profits as they approved specious loans and just as quickly sold cleared them off of their OWN books as they sold them to those who then bundled them for resale as securities; or that Standard & Poors was so inspired as they gave grossly unwarranted and inflated ratings to those instruments as they were then transferred at a profit into the retirement accounts of the unsuspecting.
Whatever the current market share of the big 3 is, no serious person can deny that w/o the assistance in 2009, we probably wouldn’t be talking about it. If you’re claiming that Trump has a specific plan to improve their standing, I’d love to hear it. Similarly, if he supposedly has an omnibus infrastructure job–especially one that’s paid for and isn’t basically a tax dodge for contractors–let me know when you find it. Regardless, the fact remains that the current President proposed major jobs & infrastructure legislation with it’s own financing element and it was killed by the GOP.
What seven countries are you talking about? Since when is Russia supposed to be our pal? Since when did we become Israel hireling? The USA has opposed settlement expansion for a lot longer than Obama has occupied office; this was reiterated again–which is exactly why Netanyahu started asking for support in other quarters; and our veto isn’t a blank check at his disposal. all off of the unemployment rolls; millions of jobs were added.
One other thing. As to balancing the budget, I assume you aren’t talking about raising taxes to do so. You might want to rethink that one.
Joe Anderer thank you!!! Our Government has always told us that Russia was bad and it was….but times have changed and Putin has done alot of good things for the Russian people. He cares for his country, I think,but on the flip side one can not be trusted completely, but why can we not have a good relationship with Russia???
YES HE DOES AND JUST LOVES TO KEEP HIMSELF IN THE LIME LIGHT….. HE FIGURES NO ONE CAN COME AFTER HIM…..
