President Obama: Being A Leader Is Leading On Climate Change
[guest post by Dana]
In an interview with Steve Kroft tonight on 60 Minutes, President Obama offered his view of real leadership in response to Kroft’s insistence that Putin is directly challenging the president’s leadership:
My definition of leadership would be leading on climate change, an international accord that potentially we’ll get in Paris.
My definition of leadership is mobilizing the entire world community to make sure that Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.
The first is just downright embarrassing; the second is laughable, especially considering the devastating Iran nuclear deal the president recently forced upon us.
–Dana
Unbelievable.
And yet, unfortunately, so believable…

narciso (ee1f88) — 10/11/2015 @ 9:05 pmUnsurprisingly, but coincidentally considering the president’s comments tonight:

But acccording to Obama, he succeeded, so of course it follows.
And Russia is not a leader, because nobody is following it, and it has to rescue its only ally (in the Middle East) Iran not being an ally.
Sammy Finkelman (6c2cdd) — 10/12/2015 @ 2:44 amThe much better-looking Dana wrote:
By Jove, I think I’ve got it! With the ridiculous Iranian nuclear deal, President Obama has increased the chances of an Iranian nuclear “breakout” a few months after the deal expires, if they don’t cheat, and an Iranian nuclear weapons capability much sooner if they do. The Iranians then strike Israel, which President Obama wouldn’t mind seeing anyway, and Israel responds, and we have a nuclear winter triggered to combat global warming!
A transformational President indeed!

Joe from Texas (debac0) — 10/12/2015 @ 10:54 amObama and his acolytes have done nothing for the benefit of the nation during the years of his anti-American administration. He has weakened our economy, our military, and our national moral fiber in their despicable march towards leftist totalitarianism. He is the marionette blithering and dithering for the masses too enthralled with celebrity decadence, specious understanding of wealth based on envious sloth instead of hard work, and brainwashed by the sickening ideology of moral relevance.
Obama and the left are traitors, pure and simple. Until enough Americans recognize they are being boiled slowly, nothing will improve.

Some of us, anyway. Can we amend the Constitution to clarify that a woman’s place is in the kitchen, while we’re at it?
I don’t know if you’re playing to an audience or what, but that comment is gross.
Leviticus (96ae1a) — 10/12/2015 @ 11:49 amLeviticus, I think that comment was irony as women seem to vote disproportionately by emotion and not facts. Unfortunately, that is true of most voters under 40.

Actually, Obama has a different definition of leadership from anyone who has ever been a leader.
Or, alternatively, he has the same definition of leadership as everyone else who failed miserably at it.
Obama thinks leadership is falling in love with the sound of his own voice and then trying to figure out who he can blame when he comes back from vaycay and discovers everything’s fallen to s**t as speeches don’t get the job done.
Mostly I just wanted to link to Twitchy to brag that I was years ahead of the curve; I’ve been calling Barack Obama “President Mean Girl” since early in her/its first term.
This country would be a lot better off if more people listened to me back in 2008. Although I’ve been pretty much right about everything a lot longer than that.

So should we count you in the “women shouldn’t be allowed to vote” camp as well, then?
Leviticus (f9a067) — 10/12/2015 @ 1:33 pmWhen you have huge numbers of single women voting Democrat, like in the 2014 CO Senate race, apparently based on commercials that their ability to obtain contraception was in jeopardy, it seems to be that they are rather easily manipulated. We saw the contraception theme in 2012 of course. It continues to float around out there.
Gerald A (949d7d) — 10/12/2015 @ 1:39 pmAt least the non-entity has some awareness of his incompetence and chooses to somnambulate through a conference on a non-problem where his utter inability to lead will be a non-issue.
When Prom Queen (or any other liberal, really) talks about “the entire world community” it’s best just to realize the freshman class president is talking about “my imaginary Super Friends.”
Steve57 (d94282) — 10/12/2015 @ 1:40 pmhttp://freebeacon.com/national-security/iranian-ballistic-missile-tests-could-violate-nuke-deal/
Maybe on Planet Obama it would not be a violation. But here on Earth it’s important to note that the only reason to develop in intercontinental ballistic missile is to deliver a nuclear payload.
There is no such thing as a conventional ICBM.
But not to worry, President Miley Cyrus, leader of the freshman dorm, is on the case and has a plan:
Steve57 (d94282) — 10/12/2015 @ 1:57 pmThe Third Book of Moses apparently missed the preceeding line, “Alas! The only test he had to pass to control our nuclear weapons was to discover that 51% of American voters are stone cold idiots.” The line concerning voting qualifications follows from that.
We have created a society in which Mitt Romney was right: the Democrat, the candidate who promises Free Stuff, automatically has 47% of the vote, and yes, that 47% is disproportionately black and female. Would you have been happier had I said only people who aren’t on welfare should be allowed to vote?
The Democrats have proven themselves to be smarter than the Republicans: the Republicans want to win elections to actually do something, while the Democrats only want to win elections. Consequently, they’ll promise any damned thing, whether there’s a chance in Hell we can pay for it or not, and they win.
The greatest sin against American society was the Sixteenth Amendment; all other evils have followed from that.
The Dana disgusted with much of the electorate (f6a568) — 10/12/2015 @ 2:15 pmHistory shows that societies advance and countries prosper — our society and our country in particular — when the political power is exercised by relatively young, relatively industrious men; and decline and degenerate when old men, women of any age, and the shiftless of any age or sex get a say in things. It has less to do with emotions than it has to do with physical, moral and mental capacity.
nk (dbc370) — 10/12/2015 @ 3:21 pmOn the one hand, Leviticus says women are brood stock who must gird their reproductive organs against an unseen onslaught. On the other hand, brood stock must have the vote.

Yes. You probably could have defended that statement, for starters.
Leviticus (f9a067) — 10/12/2015 @ 4:21 pmno I would disagree, the Dems get things done, and they are irreversible, obamacare, the stimulus, the gope’s achievements are subject to revision, welfare reform, doma, et al,
narciso (ee1f88) — 10/12/2015 @ 4:23 pmIn the Third Book of Moses, it was written:
Actually, I could defend both. When the franchise was restricted to white male property owners, we got Presidents George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. When everyone could vote we got Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Hussein Obama.
Game, set and match! 🙂

Come on, Leviticus. Admit it. If the scenario were to keep CONSERVATIVE women in the kitchen and, in turn, far removed from the voting booth, while chauffeuring in limo-air-conditioned comfort, and straight to their local precinct, those women whose cars have “Obama 2012!” or “Hillary 2016!” or “We Love Bernie!” stickers on their bumper, you’d pause and give such a hypothetical serious consideration.

And our MFM, SOCIETY, COUNTRY and CITIZENS, either don’t “GET IT”, or are COWED into following the CHOOOOOOMED PIPER over the edge.
So I’m waiting over thirty minutes for this article loading web ads, china-builds-largest-telescope-in-the-world, piles of web ads.
Never ending, up in your face, so you can’t even see the main content, shoots and ladders, while a Chinese gorilla throws barrels at you.
And the prevailing adware is from the State of California, imploring us to buy solar panels.
Someone take this crap off our hands, Dash Hammett!
And the content.
With the appendage of the internet wobegon, the auto track back.
Sowwy China. This might be the largest radio antenna ever built, but it’s not an optical instrument.
And since when does the Chinese equivalent of Pravda need to sell ad space on their lie? To the people’s republic of Jerry Brown no less!
