you to the Barack Obama Group, lumpy.

It is hair on fire##$@!&*)*&_(&) Obama= Bush crowd, that spew this crap about Syria. They are lighting up the front page with their lies and innuendos about this President and SOS John Kerry. They believe they are privy to ongoing negotiations. They believe they know far more than our President. They are wrong. They are in fact woefully lacking any qualified information. Their only wish is to slam this President. They have proven that time and time again.

President Obama admitted that he had been discussing the international option on Syria with Putin since last year.

It turns out that all of the people on the left and right who were fooled by the pundits and hosts on cable news into believing that war was just around the corner were absolutely, completely, totally, utterly wrong. War is not around the corner. In fact, President Obama had a strategy to get Syria to the table. That strategy was to get the United States talking about striking Syria by asking Congress for authorization.

If President Obama wanted to strike Syria, he could have done so at any time. He didn’t, because military action in Syria was not what he wanted. The president wanted Syria to surrender their chemical weapons to the international community, and the best way to get Russia to listen was to turn up the heat by letting Congress debate a potential military strike on Syria.

what was going on behind the scenes(not very well anyway) because, you know.. equatinig him with bush however their twisted scenarios will let them is so much more productive(according to them). Not in the real world.

And, turn up the heat he did.. that had many lamenting that he never worked this hard for anything else. Conveniently forgetting about Obamacare, JOBS BILL, Global Climate Change(managing that without republicon support).. etc, etc, etc.

"President Obama admitted that he had been discussing the international option on Syria with Putin since last year."

Which is why the President said in the recent G20 meeting that.. "Mr Snowden didn't come up in the conversation." Turns out there's more important shit going on in the World. Right now.

You're welcome, she.. thank you~

soothing Buddha quotes, fresh~

Sweet dreams, BOGer

Thanks for the link, fresh.. and the graphic showing the Obamas and Gabby Douglas!

Mixed metaphors, too, in the right circumstance. I once concocted a triple whammy.

But puns are best.

If this turns out well, I will have my faith restored in Obama's brilliance. If it turns out badly, I'll wonder what in hell happened to this man to turn his brilliance against him.

Is it possible Barack is not worried about what people think of him,

and is purposefully pissing off the people to prevent a war?

Consider this -

JFK died as a direct result of his resistance to the MIC for war on Cuba/Russia imo.

Obama is MAKING the people speak, without concern for his own reputation,

keeping himself and his family safe.

Like I said above;

just a thought

CC

get rid of Assad's chemical warfare supply and he obviously feels this is the best way to go about it.. with a vigorous national debate(unlike the bush years when dissention was stifled).

I hope this culminates in assad giving up his chemical weapons.

It's not like the President isn't use to taking the heat for Everything from the US mediawhores.

Unlike the last administration, this group is not stupid, but willing to appear so to get everyone into the discussion and to scare the pants off Assad and Putin.. only in Putin's case, it's his shirt.

What if he's paying lip service to the hawks but purposefully making war seem like a worst kind of option.

"he's paying lip service to the hawks but purposefully making war seem like a worst kind of option".

If Obama stops War, he will be a Hero - everywhere!

I still fear the influence of the MIC/PNAC crowd.

Only time will tell.

Just gotta wait.

(sigh)

CC

than President Barack Hussein Obama. In a broken psyche it could lead to horrendous acts of sociopathy. In him, with such a brilliant mind and good heart, it produces pure gold.

Same ol same ol after the President gave the order to get bin laden. So many rushing to not give him credit. But, if it had gone wrong then PBO would be the first to get the blame.

See how that works.. when it goes bad he gets the blame.. when it's good.. he gets no credit. I call bullshit on every last one of them.

oh, that pootie toot and his little snowflake spy, they're such cute heroes, aren't they? They gonna save the world from Obama and his bloodthirsty ways.

lawd, such rich comedy, you just can't beat it.

Obama and his "blood thirsty" ways? You did not just seriously say that did you?

Do you think our President just might know what he's doing?

Just maybe, the man who got Osama in a sneak attack just might have a card or two up his sleeve.

"Don't - EVER - play - poker - with - that - man."

Oh, and don't forget to mention this is a BOG post. LolololNice.

will check it out now!

"I think without accusing anyone of "racism" that

President Obama is smarter than a lot of people and better at his job than some want to admit.

They may be very good at their job but just can't comprehend how Obama can be so good at his. They underestimate him and their own risk."

And good reply to those who have been dismissive of those who do this work day in and out. Yes, some people are good at their jobs, aren't they?


U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (right) and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov confer during a press briefing at the State Department in Washington on August 9.

Lavrov, Kerry 'Agree On Need' For Syria Peace Conference

August 10, 2013

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says he and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have agreed on the need to start a Syrian peace conference in Geneva as soon as possible.

Lavrov made the remarks after talks in Washington on August 9 with Kerry.
Lavrov said he and Kerry agreed they should meet again by the end of August to prepare for the proposed Geneva talks.

Kerry said Russia and the United States needed to find ways to work around their differences on Syria’s civil war, and to make progress on missile defense, Afghanistan, and nuclear disputes with Iran and North Korea.

The talks came as the political mood between Moscow and Washington hit a low point – with U.S. President Barack Obama earlier this week canceling an upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Will those who called Kerry a sell-out, MIC stooge and warmonger now pull Kerry out from under the bus and call him a peacemonger?

Sadly, I doubt it. They'll be onto the next ignorant media hyped outrage.



Because the media has taught them it's cool and smart to go after Obama and that the Democrats don't care or don't know what they're doing.

So they stay in that zone since it's all they know, they can't fight it. Some people forgot that Obama won the election twice, for good reasons, about ideals that matter.

They are so used to losing from the Bush years, they are in a state of shock and can't leave that state of sputtering outrage. Like a dog that chased a car and caught it, they don't know how to handle a victory.

JHMO.

all you have to do is look at his record over the years. And, I mean really look at it. Not just cherry pick some damn instances that are blown out of proportion by the ignorant internet warriors.

They only think "it's smart and cool to go after Obama and the Democrats".. when actually it's stupid and self defeating unless you're a rw and then it's also stupid and self defeating. Unless, of course, you're Koch types that don't want taxes on the rich, want to do away with SS, Medicare, Education, batshit crazy everything that benefits America's People.

I don't think a lot of them want a "victory" if PBO and Kerry are the ones responsible.. which they clearly are.

Have you considered making post one an OP in the BOG?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Seems like valuble information, from August 10th, to me.

surpassed by their ignorance.

A long time ago it was a little bit sad and made me mad.. okay a lot mad.. but, now after years of the same ol twisted contortions it can only be viewed as hilarious.

I built up an immunity..

Except I rarely venture into GD.

As to your next-to-last sentence, it reminds me of "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It can't be done, and it only annoys the pig." The same could be said for trogs.

'Never wrestle with a pig. You'll get dirty and besides, the pig enjoys it.'

Or something like that. It's why I stopped posting on boards with RWers.

I forgot the singing pig one, that's a good one.

He outsmarts everyone and ends up getting things done!

Here he is about to end the threat of Assad's chemical weapons without hurting a single soul and many people on GD won't even acknowledge that. Its sad really.

Well I am not afraid to commend the man for a job well done! To me, getting this pulled off is the mark of a legendary president and he deserves praise!

I am proud that he is our president and was able to get this started and I hope against hope this is sincere offer on the behalf of the Syrian government.

Peace and Love BOG! Keep on reminding everyone here of how great this president truly is!!!

I had to come back and read it again, slowly, with a contented smile and a cup of coffee.

for Rec it!
