maybe Obama is not playing all his cards yet... seems a little early to jump the gun and pre-judge

one thing's for sure

I am sure glad the pragmatist Obama is in charge instead of the right wing's heros Bush the younger or Raygun

which apparently most of the wingnuts would still prefer... or the idiot monday morning quarterbacks Rmoney and John McLame... what's amazing is many of the wingnuts are actually praising Putin as a "strong leader"... they actually like him, how sick is that?

I love how all the wingnuts think they are so much smarter than Obama, and blame him for every conflict that arises around the globe... yet they followed Bush into Iraq and still worship Raygun even though he was a colossal disaster on both the U.S. economic front and international affairs

it's difficult to pick which was a bigger war criminal... Bush or Reagan... why do you think Reagan was such a great President mindmelt?

The 8 years Reagan was in office represented one of the most bloody eras in the history of the Western hemisphere, as Washington funneled money, weapons and other supplies to right wing death squads. And the death toll was staggering–more than 70,000 political killings in El Salvador, more than 100,000 in Guatemala, 30,000 killed in the contra war in Nicaragua. In Washington, the forces carrying out the violence were called "freedom fighters." This is how Ronald Reagan described the Contras in Nicaragua: "They are our brothers, these freedom fighters and we owe them our help. They are the moral equal of our founding fathers

Reagan used tax payer dollars to fund right wing death squads in central america that killed a hundred thousand or so innocent people
befriended Saddam Hussein and sent him chemical weapons to kill his own people as well as Iranian children
created Osama bin Laden by funding him and the Taliban
laughed off the threat of aids
the father of trickle down economics
the father of govt deregulation
presided over the savings and loan fiasco
called social programs "communism"
was an original John Birch society wingnut

amazing how the right wing nuts go bonkers because 4 people died in a terrorist attack in Benghazi... yet George Bush presided over multiple terrorists attacks on our foreign consulates, and not a peep from the wingnuts... not to mention of course had his finger up his ass on 9/11 where "ONLY" 3000 people died... and Raygun sent 250 U.S. Marines to be blown to bits in Beirut... yet the right wing a-holes only think it's a big deal when 4 people die under a Dem administration... it doesn't get more stupid than the people who worship FOX NEWS and their gaggle of liars and hatemongers

You know what's interesting? Some of the best investments over the last year or so would have been bonds from Spain or Portugal. But who had the guts to go there....

How can he sanction all the nobodies and not include Putin?

You want to sanction the guy whose doing the negotiating for Russia? Do you think that would put Putin in a better negotiating mood? How so?
