Dude, I thought you knew this already. When he's 'conservative' on making decisions about war and occupying other countries, they call him weak and say he's doing nothing or not enough. They say that all the countries are laughing at him and this country because he's not being all aggressive like they think he should. Then, when the criteria is right and he decides to step it up, they start crying about side-stepping congress and abusing his powers.

Look at how they clowned over the executive orders deal when many other presidents did much more than him...in both number of orders and the CONTENT THEREOF. A certain group of people here pretty much turned their backs on him and this country when the first round of Obama vs. Putin took place with the whole Syria deal. Putin was being packed around like a bag of gold by these people knowing full well what type of man he really is, AND, what he means to the USA. It's pitiful. He's not the greatest president but he's far from being the worst as well...and he doesn't do to this country what Putin does to his and that's fact.

Now, we have round two with the sanctions ordeal. Putin's little ban is impacting the EU and not the US and I'm not saying that this is so great. But, he originally laughed thinking he'd 'cripple' the US with it...and these same folks here got all giddy again. As it stands, the US is trucking right along just fine and they're hashing it out over there big time. Russia's trying to find food right now. Some countries like Greece are trying to get around the ban 'cause it hurts their economy...exports. At some point, and just as planned, Russia's inflation is going to start rising rapidly which will bring about the proper change.

All this 'fist fighting' type business that so many believe in here is a waste of time and energy. You hit people where it hurts the most...economically. This fight is won with pens, phone calls, and keystrokes but you can't get the less intelligent to see it. Actually, they do see it...they just choose to be ignorant about it so they'll have something to work with. It's futile. Look a the whole border problem and how we have the National Guard in the mix now. Fine, but why couldn't the Guard be deployed to other crisis abroad like in Detroit? What about Chicago? Ooops, did I say that...the place where the President lives?

Violence is off the hook over there and not a peep from (R)'s on getting it order. The writing is on the wall. As far as going around and picking on people goes...at some point, somebody is gonna bring your hat to ya. We have been doing this for a long time and it's good that Obama doesn't stick our nose into everybody's business just because 'he can.' Those idiots can call it being weak all they want but, if something really big jumped off because he succumbed to the pressures of being called weak and acted on aggression, they'd be the first one's to blame him for it all...hence your WISHY WASHY statement.

It's pretty much like agreeing to rob a bank 'cause someone calls you a 'scary cat' and says you won't do it. They rag on you real bad and compare you to other famous bank robbers that were big time. Then, when you break and finally decide to do it and it comes out that the bank was robbed, guess who's the first person to call the cops and then call you da*ned fool? Yep.
