At this point I'm assuming that any policy that doesn't involve bombing the shiat out of someone for manufactured reasons is a failure.

So Honduras is sorta like Darfur?

In fairnes, I don't know what "feckless" means.

 
AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2009-11-06 03:23:35 PM  
Does the author compare Obama's Middle East policy to the rousing success that was the Bush Doctrine?

Just curious.

Belatedly, the Obama team (after designating the removal of Zelaya with the consent of the very Honduran Congress a "coup") seemed willing to grant the Hondurans some say in their own affairs. How magnanimous. But the Honduran Congress doesn't want Zelaya back; they ousted him, after all.

Jennifer Rubin obviously has no idea what she's talking about.

"No, thank you Mr. Bush. You've done quite enough."

So bombing everyone and making sure everyone hates us, like Republicans want, is the best version of foreign policy?

Prove me wrong then. What was great about Bush's foreign policy in relation to the Middle East, since when he left we had managed to unite the entire area in hating us.

Read EVERY SINGLE Fark thread about Obama failures. All you see is comparison to Bush and how Obama is SO MUCH BETTER.

Yes, by God, the man has come through on every single promise he made during his campaign. He's abolished Don't Ask Don't Tell. He's gotten new health care legislation pushed through. He's single-handedly turned around the economy and has created jobs for the American workforce by passing an infrastructure improvement bill.

Oh, that's right, he hasn't done ANY of those things.

Was Bush perfect? No. His foreign policy was asinine and he had the political nuance of a sledgehammer made from nitro-glycerine. However, this constant slurping at Obama's crotch when he's done NOTHING is laughable.

yes there are no significant pieces of legislation currently being pushed through congress with opposition literally hiding from votes in an effort to give obama "his waterloo." why can't obama get anything done?

considering many of obama's policy decisions have been an effort just to clean up the damage done over 8 years of retardation, it's not unfair to bring up the retard that was tarding things up.

Great article. By the way, the retardation took hold with the last Presidential election, when it was proven that 52.7% of the American voting populace were mentally handicapped.

Granted the 4 years really were fine until Iraq 2 and the last 4 years were under a Democratic congress. But I guess you live in a two-shade world

None. They have no resources we want, unless we're back in the Banana Republic era.

Why, God, WHY, do we care about Honduras right now? Is this a big deal? Imminent? A crisis?

So what "Word of the week" calendar did conservatives pull "dithering" "statist" and "feckless" out of.

On the 2nd word you blew it. People who want to be taken seriously don't use cutesy terms or spellings. That goes for Chimpy McFlighsuit or Chairman Obongo.

Thanks for coming out.
