Says my agenda-pushing, war-promoting jewspaper, that's who!
"Obama’s moves on Syria mark defining moment; His shifts could set back agenda for second term" by Matt Viser and Noah Bierman | Globe Staff, September 15, 2013
I've already defined him, and unless he does a complete 180 nothing will change that.
WASHINGTON — President Obama, to his supporters, is a deliberative leader whose willingness to recalibrate his response to Syria’s use of chemical weapons potentially helped avert military strikes and further US involvement in a civil war half a world away.
But to his critics, Obama is like a character in a Shakespearean comedy, where the hapless protagonist succeeds despite himself.
=Does it look like I'm laughing here?
It was, after all, only after Secretary of State John F. Kerry made an offhand comment last Monday morning in London — and Russian leaders seized on it — that renewed diplomatic discussions began....

So Obomber lied or is absolutely out of touch with reality and living in a delusion where he is great and always is the center of everything!
Now the question is whether this marks a turning point in Obama’s presidency that does lasting harm to both his domestic agenda and his international goals, or whether a diplomatic victory could reinvigorate what was already an agenda in trouble. Either way, it is a moment that could define Obama’s second term and set the stage for what could be a bruising three years to come.
So PULLING OFF a WAR is harmful, huh?
And JUST WHO DECIDED this is a TURNING POINT? The authors of this article?
The announcement on Saturday seemed certain to ease any threat of US-led military strikes just two weeks after they appeared imminent. And it will send waves of relief through Congress — particularly among Obama’s fellow Democrats — who probably won’t have to vote to authorize military force in Syria.
Yeah, they won't have to save him from a debilitating public defeat -- as if that were a good reason to wage war on someone over lies.
But the Syrian quandary is far from over, and it is likely to remain the top foreign policy crisis for months to come, possibly continuing to bog the White House down.
That's why I'm still writing about it, will be unless the coming false flag is foisted upon the public, and good. Anything that slows down this global killing machine is good.
The United States has become dependent on Russia, which in the past has proven to be an untrustworthy negotiator, and several observers immediately questioned whether Syria would follow through on the terms of the deal....
I'm tired of a pot-hollering-kettle crap jewspaper, I'm sorry.
And now Obama looks really week, huh? Dependent on Russia!
The agreement does not address the two-year civil war that has been raging in Syria, sending refugees fleeing to neighboring countries. The US has supported arming the Syrian rebels and Obama has called on Assad to step down, while trying to organize a peace conference.
Don't those two ideas conflict with one another?
Obama on Saturday said, “If diplomacy fails the United States remains prepared to act.”
Which is why I'm calling him Obomber from here on out.

There’s no good way to spin this.”

We are arming them?
Even some of Obama’s strongest allies in Massachusetts’ congressional delegation said they are worried the Syria debate has hindered the president’s ability to stay focused on important domestic initiatives....
He wasn't anyway, so....
For Obama, it may have seemed like a can’t-win proposition. He capitulated to demands that he seek congressional authorization, only to see lawmakers line up quickly against him.
I was told it was his idea by the very same media!!
By last Tuesday, as Obama prepared to deliver a prime-time address, the White House was looking at a difficult scenario: continue pushing for a congressional vote authorizing military strikes that would almost certainly fail, or go back to the negotiating table with Russia just days after the UN ambassador, Samantha Power, said all diplomatic options had been “exhausted.”
Kerry’s off-the-cuff remarks the previous day — saying that Assad could avoid the prospect of a strike by turning over his chemical weapons — had complicated the scenario further, breathing new life into a non-military option.
Oooooops! Thank the Lord for John Kerry, huh?
Ultimately, they chose the second option, diplomacy, even though it made the president look indecisive.
Says who?
And you are an okay president if you decisively rush into war and murder people over lies, huh?
This war-promoting, agenda-pushing jew$hit is really sickening these days.
It is not unusual for second-term presidents to struggle to pass major initiatives when they are viewed in Congress as lame ducks.
I certainly don't view it that way.
Often, presidents look to international issues to make their mark as their ability to win in Congress fades.
Yup, he can still look to start more wars.
But Obama’s situation is particularly difficult. Not only did he face bipartisan opposition in his effort to win authorization to strike Syria, the crisis there will continue to overshadow efforts to refocus on domestic issues that face an uphill fight in the Republican-controlled House.
Why? Who is the one creating those conditions? Who is focused so much on Syria, propaganda pre$$?
Obama and Congress face imminent deadlines to avert a government shutdown and credit crisis. Obama has also hoped to forge a compromise on immigration, while continuing to defend his signature health care law from efforts to scuttle it.
His health law is killing employment in this country, immigration has been back-burnered (or so I was told), and he is insane regarding the economy.
The inherent difficulties were on display Thursday, when White House press secretary Jay Carney opened a briefing by discussing a new health care report. He also announced that Obama would be holding a meeting Wednesday with top business leaders.
But as soon as the briefing was opened for questions, Syria became the dominant focus, illustrating that as much as the White House may want to turn to domestic topics, the international crisis is still dominating the headlines.
Still, there are more than three years to go in Obama’s term.
If this nation survives that long, something that is in real doubt right now.
And some Republicans, for all their criticism, have a shared interest in getting legislation passed at a time when the vast majority of Americans have a dim view of Congress.
Passing legislation we do not want is not going to help.
In one of the more unlikely partnerships, Republican Senator John McCain, who was Obama’s 2008 presidential rival, has become a second-term ally of Obama on several important issues....
Not really that unlikely when you consider who is really in control of the U.S. Congress..
