and nothing more. That is not how you lead.
32. The western nations
ky   (03.28.14)
are not in a fit state for confrontation. Military budgets have been slashed . and its youth no longer are capable of enduring any hardship. Obama represents the new reality. It may not be such a bad thing but it depends which side of the coin you are looking at.
33. This article says what I knew...
Gideon Reader   (03.28.14)
...years ago. The world would have been a very different place with a President Romney. Sskill, experience and competence with an aversion towards corruprion. The position of Leader of the free world is no place for an unskilled community organizer who never had a job, never served in the military ran a business, ploughed a field, or in fact did ANYTHING but BEE ESS about political theory and greivance; and that on someone's elses agorot. Pee poor protoplasm and corrupt incompetence. President ain't no place for an intern. Looks like Joe Biden is the smart one and THAT is scary.
34. Not So
Dan ,   USA   (03.30.14)
He is a gifted reader of speeches other people write.
35. Obama has only one policy.
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (03.30.14)
It is neither foreign nor domestic, but rather a strong quest to tear America down until it is inconsequential on the world stage. He is achieving that goal with the help of Democrats who care more about retaining their power than they do about America.
36. A free Arab world is a good thing,will get off Israel's back

37. Machiavellian vs. Robespierrian politics
N ,   N   (03.30.14)
The current administration warships Machiavellian political realism (disregard of lives for the sake of personal power and prestige, e.g. the "drone wars") whereas the former administration worshiped "Robespierre-ian" political idealism (disregard of lives for the sake of some delusional "higher good" , e.g. the war in Iraq).
38. # 23 Arnold Canada, seems that Iran's
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.30.14)
already beat Putin at that, they've publicly stated they will be sending ships to cruise off shore of America's east coast, obama said h'e's not worried. BUIDLING ALL OF ISRAEL !!!
39. # 36 Free arab? Oxymoron
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.30.14)
which "Free arabs do you have in mind? Syrians? Lebanese, Libyan, ArabiaIraq? Iran? Yemen? et al? Hilarious, not ONE FREE arab alive that's why the Arab Spring's become eternal and the war of muslims on muslims rages on. Maybe the 'arabs' should first adopt more "FREE FEMALES" first? That honor killing' has got to stop and the female mutilations, slavery, rapes, you know small insults to women's dignity that's a daily part of Islam's brutality against women and children. Free arabs my ass !! Free Jews from arabs is more like it. KEEPING BUSY BUILDING ISRAEL !!!

41. # 14 Misguided and ignorant
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.30.14)
Israel hasn't been the receiver of any good from the Bush-obama wars. The first Bush was smarter than either of the two aforementioned in that he got the Arabs to pay for our involvement in THEIR war not Israel's, in fact, Israel hasn't been involved or has she received any benefit from these unnecessary wars. As for America 's response to any arab attack on Israel, when has she ever helped Israel? NEVER !!! Bes thing for israel is to KEEP BUILDING ALL OF ISRAEL FOR ALL HER JEWS !!! The arabs can go to hell.
42. US needs a new President this one sux
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.30.14)
Take the Keystone pipeline for example. Despite obama's best efforts to cripple America, he's failed now, America produces more gas and oil produced in America allowing her to spend less on arab oil. After the mid term elections obama's toast. KEEP BUILDING JEWISH ISRAEL !!!
43. Throw the bums out
John Prophet   (03.30.14)
With respect to Israel, the other day Barak said soon the enemy will have rockets that can hit individual buildings in Tel Aviv, isn’t that special. Israeli officials Ya’alon included should be tarred and feather then run out of town. These idiots waited and hope America would do their dirty work, they groveled in front of American politicians hoping they’d pull the trigger. Israel should have strapped on a set and taken care of business years ago before the enemy had rockets that can hit individual buildings in Tel Aviv! It’s Israeli “leadership” that future historians will point to as those who abdicated their responsibilities to the people of Israel.
44. # 2 That's what they said of Hitler.....
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.31.14)
Get even..... BUILDING IS WINNING !!!
45. # 8 Americans think obama's SUX!
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.31.14)
KEEP BUILDING !!!!
46. Obama, You've Gotta be Kidding
Knave Dave ,   USA   (04.08.14)
The response of Obama and the rest of the Europe is, “If you take more parts of Ukraine, we’ll pound you with penalties.” One has to wonder how much more painful U.S. sanctions will become if the Putin-Ukraine conflict intensifies. What cost shall be sufficient to give Russia territorial pause? Will we deprive all Russians of American movies for a year? Will we put a tariff on vodka imports? Stop allowing Yugos to compete against American automobiles here in the homeland? Maybe the U.S. and Europe will unite as a voting bloc on the Olympic Committee and tell Putin he can never host another Olympic game. Perhaps we shall ban the import of those nifty Russian nesting dolls — you know, the little red wooden guys that stack inside of each other. We shall pummel them with pillows and smite them with plastic swords. And when they lie laughing themselves to death on the ground, we shall demand, again, that they seize no more land — that they do not advance to Poland or Moldova. Because, if they do that, then we shall get really, really mad. Maybe even so mad that we shall ban ALL Russians from visiting Hawaii … for a whole year!
