Obama talks tough or does he?

Early in his career as president Obama made it quite clear that Europe would have to clean up it's own problems. In addition he made it quite clear that he doesn't think much of us Brits.

Now he blows hot and cold over the extreme Islamist terror groups activities, and generally confuses the situation as far as Egypt, Libya Iraq Afghanistan, Syria etc are concerned. Israel for example, long an ally of the US no longer knows where it stands from one day to the next.

He is much more certain when he ramps up the situation in the Ukraine. and seems very positive in threatening Putin with sanctions. Putin has already started threatening counter sanctions and in any such war, Europe generally and us very much in particular will suffer. Our financial hub in London specifically. Any sanctions imposed by Russia will not hurt the US more than minimally, and Obama not at all, but could hurt us greatly.

If Obama thinks Europe has to sort it's own problems out then fine, leave us to it. As with many aspects of Obama's rule, the question needs to be asked just what exactly is he up to?

It's ok for him spouting on about Putin he doesn't live next door to him.



Can't stand the bloke and I haven't since he didn't object to a mosque being being next door to the 911 site.


He was very insensitive .

Given his middle name, and the fact that he doesn't seek to hide his upbringing is it insensitivity I wonder?

To me It was the ones that wanted to build that Mosque that were the insensitive ones.

obama is a college professor, nothing more. the americans have now tried the liberal left's version of hope and change. nothing changed and now there's little hope that it will.

When he attended a school in Indonesia, he took the name of his mother's second husband and was Barry Soetoro. I'd love to know when Barry Soetoro became Barrack Hussein Obama.

Can't really argue with that. For "yes we can" read "well we might"
