Are you saying Obama is not a leftist and lier? He opens his mouth he lies. From keeping your I own doctor to swearing Gitmo prisoners wont be a threat when released, these bozos are wrong or lying on everthing they do. After someone lies several dozens of times I'm a little apprehensive about believing anything they say as in this case. But, you can continue believing them all you want

I don't expect a decent answer but how would either Romney or McCain have reacted to a boat being captured in another countries territorial waters.
No, the "Swift Boaters" weren't a 'product of Karl Rove!'

Look; the Obama response to aggression has always been milquetoast, apologies, and showing weakness. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq and fanned the flames of ISIS terrorism across the entire region, even labeling them, "the JV team." That isn't how a leader, especially one who is supposed to be the Commander-in-Chief, responds to our enemies, and especially when we have troops captured.

I won't speak for McCain or Romney, but I feel certain that they wouldn't have said, "pretty please."

First you should learn history, secondly you should learn what happened 10 years ago.

They didn't do anything on their "own free will", they were coached to commit those abuses.

Those responsible were never punished.

You've got a lot of catching up to do, you better get busy.

Who cares? Are you humiliated? I'm not.

I'm ecstatic that our Soldiers are safe. They made a mistake in navigation. Our bad. Got them safely back in a short time. Great. What's the problem?

North Korean dictator does a lot of stuff to mock us. You bothered? Offended?

If so, that's a "you problem".

Get over it.

Another possible scenario why the sailor cried.

Gee, if I was told I couldn't fight, and had to be on my knees next to my unfired guns, in the face of a smaller and less well-armed opponent – with little American flags snapping in the breeze.

I would cry too.

Not saying this is the truth. There are always three sides in one story, yours, mine, and the truth.

So why judge.

Shooting on other nation's warships in said other nation's water is an act of war, and no LT-JG is going to have to be "told" that starting that sort of crisis is way, way above his pay grade.

He probably cried over the death of his career.
