Political discussions about everything

Sir Hew Strachan, an expert on the history of war, says that the president’s strategic failures in Afghanistan and Syria have crippled America’s position in the world.

President Obama is “chronically incapable” of military strategy and falls far short of his predecessor George W. Bush, according to one of Britain’s most senior military advisors.

Winston Churchill held daily strategy meetings with his chairman of the Chiefs of Staff during the Second World War, which encouraged an open exchange of views.  George Bush held twice weekly meetings during the Afgan and Iraqi wars with his chairman of the Chiefs of Staff.  Obama has been in office for over five years and yet to hold a single meeting with his chairman of the Chiefs of staff.  Instead Obama relies on his hand selected staff, such as Susan Rice and Mark Brzezinski, non of who have any military experience to brief him on military matters.

Strachan, a current member of the Chief of the Defense Staff’s Strategic Advisory Panel, cited the “crazy” handling of the Syrian crisis as the most egregious example of a fundamental collapse in military planning for political reasons he had ever seen.

The extraordinary critique by a leading advisor to the United States’ closest military ally comes days after Obama was undermined by the former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who questioned the President’s foreign policy decisions and claimed he was deeply suspicious of the military.

Do politicians hide things about themselves which shed credit on them?

Nope.

Why are Obama's SAT and LSAT scores secret? Why are his courses taken secret? Why is his admission status (foreign student?) and how much affirmative action he got -- why are such matters secret?

Because they wouldn't shed credit on him.

I'm glad we're not involved in yet another war in Syria. As I watched the news about Fallujah being taken over by AQ I had to wonder what all of those soldiers died for. What did all of these men women and children from all of these countries die and suffer for?

In high school, Obama spent his time using dope and playing basketball.

One year at Columbia, his roomie was a seller of illegal drugs.

In one of his two books, Obama discussed that roomie but couldn't even remember how to spell his name correctly.

So that's the "brilliant" student Obama was.

He didn't get on law review by some brilliant article we can read today; instead, Obama was voted in and for a seat reserved by Harvard for affirmative action.

The more you read from johnforbes the less you like him.

I've seldom encountered someone so shallow yet full of himself.

"In high school, Obama spent his time using dope and playing basketball."-johnforbes
So what? You spent your time in high school being a dope and playing basketball.
So now you don't like guys because they played basketball in high school?

"One year at Columbia, his roomie was a seller of illegal drugs."-johnforbes
So now you hold a guy's roommates against them?
What a douche.

"In one of his two books, Obama discussed that roomie but couldn't even remember how to spell his name correctly."-johnforbes
Hell, I had two roommates one year that I lived in the same house with an entire year and I can't even remember their names, let alone spell them. So what?


"So that's the "brilliant" student Obama was."-johnforbes
So that's the kind of thing you use to evaluate a person twenty years later and choose to dislike them for it?
It's irrelevant how "brilliant" Obama was, you moron.
He's President. There's nothing you or anybody can do about it. (God knows Issa has tried.)
All your impotent whining about test scores of which you're ignorant doesn't change a thing. (They never mattered in the first place.)
Even RealTool at least had a relevant point about his managing the military, which actually affects us.
I guess that means even RealTool is more brilliant than you, you total waste of an education.

"He didn't get on law review by some brilliant article we can read today; instead, Obama was voted in and for a seat reserved by Harvard for affirmative action."-johnforbes
Once again, so what?
You dislike and fault someone because they took advantage of the opportunities afforded them through no fault of their own?
What would have truly been stupid is if he had passed up the opportunity. But he didn't.
That's why you dislike the man? Because he didn't throw away an opportunity at Harvard?

Honestly, I've never met anyone as shallow as you, johnny.
Your "brilliant" mind is full of irrelevant garbage which you obsess over and yet you fancy yourself worthy of commenting on everyone else's intellect.
Then, if they don't measure up to your idea of "brilliant," you don't like them.

I'm beginning to think you're the biggest asshole in this place, and that's saying something in a room full of assholes.

That's just it, Clown. Obama advertised himself as being brilliant and promising that he would be a brilliant President. He promised Change. I knew from the start he was full of it....four years in the Senate does not a President make. But not the rest of America. He was the first President in History to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize going in. Only three other Presidents have been so honored but only after outstanding accomplishments. Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in part for," his vision of a world free from nuclear weapons!". What a con man ! All politicians are bullshitters, some more than others. But Obama takes the cake!......and worse....he's dangerous too.

First it was the birth certificate, now it's the transcripts....
Actually most Americans are still waiting on his birth certificate. Obama is the only politician in America to not only refuse to disclose his education but to spend millions on attorneys having those records removed and destroyed.

Yes. Leroy, employing his skills as a forensics document expert, personally invalidated both of Obama's birth certificates. (Perhaps that's why he disappeared shortly after announcing his findings.)

In the meantime, two years after their arrival, Trump's investigators are still in Hawaii doggedly pursuing their investigation.

"Obama advertised himself as being brilliant ..."-sillydaddy
"Clown, since Obama is such a brilliant man,..."-RealTool
"So that's the "brilliant" student Obama was."-johnforbes

That's why you clowns are such tools of FOXnews and their ilk.
Obama never claimed he was brilliant and I certainly never said it. You're asking me to comment on stuff you made up as if I fall for the same FOXswill that you swallow on a daily basis.
You can't just continually make this stuff up and then criticize Obama because he doesn't measure up to fictional claims made by your handlers.

Think for yourselves for once.

Because they released their college transcripts, we know Bush had higher grades than Clinton and Kerry, it shut liberals up about Bush's intelligence. Obama is hiding his grades for a reason, imagine the media and liberals having to deal with Bush being more intelligent than their hero.
