I'd call it typical NeoConfused hypocrisy.

As long as the shoe fits, which it does in this situation.................

Act like a hypocrite 1,000 times, the response will be calling it a hypocritical act 1,000 times

Funny how that works, eh?

What exactly is hypocritical of posting a story about obama's change of plans for Sudan? Instead of isolating them, he will now engage the genocidal regime.

I'll give you credit..You don't quit at trying to mislead folks. We all know your entire argument is false yet you push on.

People..Obama is a "peaceful" President.

The US is not judge and jury for other countries. The citizens of that country are responsible for how they live and are governed.

I'm all for what he's doing. The US is in no position to be the policeman and bully of the world.
I'm not in favor of all this foreign aid though that our administration thinks we have to send to other countries when we need it first.

But.................................


You yourself said: "Let their neighbors take care of it."

So what makes a softer approach by Obama such an issue? WHY should US involvement be an issue?

You also speak of a 'rote response', kinda funny when whenever someone merely writes "Obama", your rote response is invariably something like wrong, horrible, bad for the country, etc., etc., etc. with no other word being mentioned. Still upset about the barrage balloon deficit are ya?

Yet you can't cite a bit of evidence that backs up your claim, as usual.

Campaign obama compared to president obama is a complete 180 in terms of dealing with the Sudan.

What exactly is misleading? He will now be negotiating with them, "giving" them completely undeserved concessions to garner a supposed "truce".

There are so many examples of that tact working out so well, isn't there?

How is the entire argument false?

Is there any reason someone that lacks credibility should be taken at their word - namely you?

One only needs to peruse your responses to a plethora of obama threads on serious issues to see the text would probably fit in a short paragraph. The answer is always the same.

Gosh, it's hard being right all the time;

Hilarious and predictable.

But if there's oil involved, it's perfectly OK. Which is why we've been turning a blind eye to that bastion of civil rights known as Saudi Arabia.

I see nothing to get upset about in working with the United Nations to persue improved relations as Sudan has cooperated with U.S. counterterrorism officials since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. We cannot be the world police nor can we impose our will on other nations whether they're "with us or against us".
