Title: Can we get to 2016 already?
Post by: Scout26 on February 09, 2015, 12:29:55 PM
Took the car in for it's 30K service, so I'm stuck here waiting.

Watching Fox news (yes, I was here first, so I get the remote.   >:D >:D >:D)


They are showing the joint press conference of Obama and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.  He prattled on about soccer, and the World Cup.   ;/ ;/

She talked about the long term US/German relationship, the 25th Anniversary of German reunification, and transatlantic cooperation in a variety of areas (Afghanistan, Europe, etc.)  She then went on to discuss Ukraine, forcefully, and stopping Russia/Putin, much to the chagrin of Obama.

The first question had him mumbling and dissembling a rambling answer where he managed to say a whole lot of noting about how he hasn't made a decision.

She says that she and the French President have decided to make one more attempt to negotiate a cease-fire/peace agreement to end the fighting.   Failing that, they will "explore possible" actions to take.

She has more balls then he does.  Can we trade leaders?  Damn near every other country seems to have a "Leader".  We have a freakin' community organizer who doesn't know how to lead.


Hahahaha..... Some German correspondent (I missed which agency she's from), asked him  "Since you haven't decided to provide lethal aid to Ukraine, what's your "Redline" to make that decision."

  [popcorn] [popcorn] [popcorn] [popcorn] >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

Nice to see at least one journalist asking the hard questions...Sadly not the American press...

So, you think things will materially improve in January 2017? I'm not seeing it yet. =|

The current POTUS is impotent without TOTUS.

Oh.  Teleprompter. Took me a minute.  Shoulda known that offhand.

An American press with gonads?  I'm under the impression that the White House Press Corps is subject to revocation of their White House credentials if they print something contrary to what the Minister of Enlightenment spoon-feeds them.

Am I wrong?

I heard a guy on the radio mention more than once that Putin would probably make a better President that Obama.

However, Putin would want to control the media and take away our rights.  .....   Okay, maybe not that different outside the shirts/no shirts.
