That's a good one.

You are so blinded by politics that you cannot see the complete and utter failings of this president. Open your eyes.

...and the partisan hacks come out of the woodwork.

Stop cheering for the politician just because they have a (D) at the end of their name, and stop booing the one with an (R) at the end. Start judging people on substance, just take off the partisan glasses.

Any sane person would boo just about everyone with (d) and an (r) after their name since they are just different sides of the same coin.

You are doing the same thing.

The whole thread is nothing but a partisan shouting match.

It would be based on reliable intelligence, intelligence carrying the same accuracy that felled Bin Laden. It would be far more effective in its precision. Russia and Syria were right not to test this smart President.

John Kerry is an excellent symbol for the competence that is the Obama administration, a level of competence that ridiculous Pubs can only dream about. Pubs complain because of envy.

I'm very proud to have John Kerry as our Sec. of State.
Silly boy!

That is becoming more and more clear. There is really only one political party, the Washington Establishment Party, and the letters in brackets after their names only indicate which side of the isle they sit on, and tell them when it's their turn to chair the various committees or bang the Speaker's gavel.

Where have i been partisan, considering i have much disdain for both political parties? Oh wait, I see, if I criticize Obama for anything, it must be because 1) he's black, or 2) I'm a mean old partisan Republican.

My eyes are wide open, I see perfectly, just as I saw perfectly for 8 years of the Bush Administration.

The contrast in leadership between Bush and Obama is stark and rather remarkable. After those 8 dark years, hope has returned now that there is competence in the Oval Office.

That's exactly what I'm doing as I compare this administration with the last one. You conservatives desperately need a reality check, and none of you will get that from FOX News or Rush Limbaugh.

That was just as silly of a comment as it was when you made it in another thread.

We are witnessing colossal incompetence at this very moment.

I just posted a link to where, even as late as this week, Obama has not been working with our own US Congress to lobby to support him, even though he has had a year to do so since his "red line" comment, much less lobby our allies in the world. This is ineptitude on a world scale.

Obama is embarrassing the country, and eroding his own credibility. The world now looks to Putin as the world leader on this issue, Obama blew it.
