How long will Americans stand still for such decisions by the Obama administration?

Given your (non)sense of foreboding expressed over Obama's 'decisions' about such things as barrage balloons and cavalry it's obvious your only agenda is to whine about Obama without even bothering to read/understand what you're whining about.
You can attract a heck of alot more bees with honey, than you can with salt.
Looks like the hard liner dubya years are gone for awhile. No more bbq's at the ranch, no more tough texas steer meat. Maybe putin would get into soul food for a change?Please pass me another fried pork chop, Mmmmm good!
This was the mentality before 9/11, not so much now. The oceans are not a sure defense anymore.
Pretty silly to suggest that someone is going to fly a missile into US airspace without us noticing it, but even sillier to suggest that the Iranians could build a missile to reach the US. Are you a scardy-pants? Do you hide under the bed at night?
Of course not. I've always said the far-left liberals are firmly entrenched on the side of communists, dictators, oppressors and petty despots.
Chavez, Noriega, Castro, Zelyala, Ortega, Ahmadinejad, etc, etc, etc are heros to the Left.
Whereas the far right preferred the likes of Batista, Somoza and Marcos to name but a few.
