This weak and timid President talks big... and does nothing

#1  He must take great care not to be pulled into a conversation where he is seen to know more than he is telling. The best prevention for this is to say nothing. Besides, he and Vlad have an understanding.

#2  Excellent article.

Once ISIS establishes tentacles into the West, Al Qaeda style attacks will become common if the West depends on the Obama regime. An alternative antidote to ISIS must be established.

#3  I'll probably die waiting for the U.S. lame stream media to print a headline such as this. Maybe if they did, we would not have been saddled with this incompetent and feckless affirmative action electee(?).

#4  Ditherer in Chief.

#5  All mouth and no action comes to mind!

Empty suit in the white house.

Is it just the ethnic minorities who vote for him?

#6  Cattlemen have a saying for someone like barry -- "All hat, no cattle." It fits perfectly.

#7  Is it just the ethnic minorities who vote for him?

No, it was a lot of dumb-ass white folks, too. /me looks askance at his family and friends...

#8  "The problem with a narcissistic president is not just that he sees the world as all about himself, but that the world soon sees that it is not about him at all."-- Victor Davis Hanson

#9  Once again, as a reminder, POTUS-Obama-the-Anti-US-US-Globalist hasn't even started yet wid still-escalating CHINA, the ECS andor SCS, over in EAST-ASIA + PACIFIC.

Lest we fergit, one of the conditions or prerequisites for Guam + other Pacific islands to be intentionally sunk-or-sinking into the Pacific is for the future USA per se to be engaged in worldwide strategic retreat back to CONUS, as part of the desperate US effort to deny control of same to its enemies.

What was called before + during the Cold War as "strategic/theater denial" - now called "A2/Area Denial" in the new OWG = proto-Space Govt-Order language.

PERHAPS THE BAMMER SHOULD BE "EBENEZER SCROOGE", + BE VISITED BY THREE GHOSTS ON XMAS EVE TO SHOW THE ERROR OF HIS GLOBALIST WAYS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, BOTH FOR GUAM + AMERIKA???

India-Pakistan
Bureaucratic Inertia
[The Nation (Pak)] The list of fumbling and dropping the ball is mind numbing. Up from Chaudhary Nisar down to the most junior police officer, the bureaucracy is way behind on its management. Lets start with Nisar and his virtual resignation. His promise to step up action against hard boyz and common criminals made in May has yet to be fulfilled. There is a lack of understanding between the provincial chief minister Qaim Ali Shah and the interior minister due to which the appointment of a permanent IG Police, a post lying vacant since February, has not materialized, despite orders by the Supreme court. After the Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
attack, Nisar didn't even meet the Chief minister in Karachi ticking off the provincial government.

As the government sleeps, about quota 3,000 posts need to be filled by candidates from Balochistan

#1  This is about the fiftieth time I came to articles thinking they were about the U.S., only to find they were about Pakistan.

A foreshadowing, perhaps?
