Russia eats America's lunch

Putin bothered

Humiliated by Putin   " "Putin openly despises your president," Russian political analyst Andrei A. Piontovsky told The New York Times. So why would he help Mr. Obama out of a jam?
"The Russian leader was following sage advice offered by a Chinese general 2,500 years ago.
" "Do not press a desperate foe too hard," advises Sun Tzu in "The Art of War." "Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across." If you know your enemy and you know yourself, you'll win all your battles, Sun Tzu said."
The import of all this and something few Obama voters- I'm sure- have not the wisdom to comprehend:
"Mr. Putin has been handed "the most spectacular public relations victory imaginable," said British journalist Janet Daley.
"Russia has been shut out of the Middle East ever since Egypt switched sides after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
"Now Mr. Putin is viewed as the strong horse. Our allies in the region are frustrated and fearful."

Obama's successor can speak truthfully of the mess they inherited from this  administration.

; Obama Lost More than Style Points in Syria
"By demonstrating his lack of will to act on what he has rightly labeled a human-rights catastrophe, President Obama has not only secured the Russian base in Syria; he has sent the region a signal that the U.S. is a paper tiger.'

And I feel that is just fine with the American left. We get the government we deserve.

PowerLine; ‘Twas a famous victory  "According to Obama, ’twas a famous victory. There is something chilling about Obama’s performance in the interview below with George Stephanopoulos."

What Syrian Rebels Think of Obama  "AFP went to Aleppo to get the views of Syrian rebels on the Obama-Putin deal. Not surprisingly, the rebels are angry:"
“America told the world it would bomb Syria and then, when the time came, it got scared,”.... 
....“Obama has shown himself not to be a man of honour, without anything to say.” …
 "A man standing nearby, interjected: “Obama is a liar. He won’t keep his word. He said he would attack if Assad used chemical weapons against the civilian population. What more does he need to intervene and put an end to this slaughter.”"
Putin's Foreign Minister claims Russia can veto future U.S. strike in Syria

Mark Steyn; American Ineffectualism "Every American ally is cringing with embarrassment at the amateurishness of the last month. "
...."This is what happens when you elect someone because he looks cool standing next to Jay-Z."...
 

The 'ShamWow Guy' cleans up his act

NBC News  ""The ShamWow guy," Vince Offer, has returned after a sex scandal to clean up his act with a new product, "InVinceable." It isn't just a six-in-one kitchen cleaner, though. It's a comeback.
"Four years after getting into a slugfest with an alleged prostitute — an incident that spawned a cringe-worthy mug shot and headlines like "ShamWow Guy Beats Up Cannibal Hooker" — the infomercial pitchman who became famous as an irreverent version of Billy Mays is launching a new product that’s supposed to scrub persistent stains. Offer says the black mark on his name after the hooker incident had a silver lining.

Remember his Schticky commercial? 

Jesse Lee Peterson; Blacks have lost moral authority on civil rights

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson   Most blacks have lost the moral authority to claim the mantle of civil rights because they refuse to stand for what is right.
As an example, the 50th anniversary commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic march and speech looked like a Ku Klux Klan rally!
   ....
  "We now have a full-fledged racist, socialist president in the White House. Obama is no different than Jeremiah Wright Jr., Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton – he’s just more polished and better at hiding who he is.

"Throughout American history, whites have played a significant role in helping blacks secure freedom and equality. We can no longer relinquish the civil rights mantle to liberal racist blacks. It’s time to take back our country and confront black racism head on, but it will take both whites and freethinking blacks, standing together once again, to get it done."
 

Actor James Woods; “Obama: the gift from hell that keeps on giving.”

WND  "Even Hollywood gets it right sometimes. Actor James Woods
sounded an alarm heard ’round the world by tweeting: “Obama: the gift from hell that keeps on giving.”
"These nine words make for a good billboard, don’t they?
"No truer words have been written about this faux president, disturbingly demoniacal, who deserves a lengthy entry in “Malleus Maleficarum” – as does George W. Bush and his diabolical gang*."  Kipp C.

 * The latter phrase TD takes great issue with. Enemies did not laugh at America because of President Bush, but because of those who ridiculed and thwarted him. TD
