Obama's Spitefully Clueless Diplomatic Omelette ! Timidity Rules...

Does this president need a thousand mandarins or his favorite political strategist to spin his teleprompter musings? Delaying the decision to express the world's outrage and anger over Neda's death is inexcusable and can only be comprehensible when viewed in terms of Obama's own timidity, indecisiveness and fear at such grave hour. Better still, he should have listened to the advice of his top diplomat when HIllary Clinton insisted he voice the world's justifiable anger at the young martyr's murder in that once proud land of religious fascists. Why wait a single day more? Does he really have a clue as to the message he is really sending out to the world by his "they-love-me-they-love-me-not" preferred pose?

Clearly, the president is genuinely afraid of strong women fighting for what they believe in. For this is surely [according to what we've witnessed during the ignominious campaign--not the Iranian election!] what one would be highly suspicious of. This is not-only a 'lost opportunity' for this timidity-ridden presidential neophyte but a prophetic glimpse into what may transpire as a most dangerous cluelessness on the world stage.

Shame, really. With the exception of his resoluteness for opening a Vietnam-like wound in Afganistan-Pakistan ($665B plus $1.5B/day rental of Pakistani army) he has consistently maintained his reputation for flip-flops on every issue he campaigned on....

Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State

I wish Hillary would just resign her position of Sec. of State. Obviously it is not working.

How didn't the Clntons see this one coming?

I still can't believe Bill allowed Hillary to fall into this trap. He used to be a pretty sharp stratigist who knew how to use the system to his advantage.

Some things cannot be explainted!

Obama - 1 Clintons - 0

Game over!

As you were saying Ms.Erbe...

I'd like see our Madame Secretary on the "tube" when it is reasonable to expect coverage-and there are a lot events internationally that merit coverage of her travels.Not the Orwellian 3 story Face of "The One"or Pop stars for that matter, on a Diamond Vision screen- that is a method deep conditioning or "charging"-just ask the N.Koreans or Nazis.For those of you accuse Ms.Erbe of slurs because of clever way she turned a phrase,you are beyond a 12 step group.They don't have one for cults.That degree of devotion calls for a de-programmer. Look at the truncheon wielding goons in Iran "Muser" in NM ,that is the what happens when opposing views are suppressed-perhaps the goons were demanding protesters to "shut up" too.It is an open secret that Obama made this appointment of HRC to not only get her out of D.C.,appease her camp & give her a share of the blame if neccesary.

Romney/Palin

First, "we" must not do anything. "We can choose all on our own thank you. "We" might not agree with you so "we" might not vote for who you tell us to vote for (sounds anti-constitution to "me").

Second, this ticket will never fly in 2012 for many reasons. 1) many Christian evangelicals will not vote for Mr. Romney as he is a Mormon; 2) Mr. Romeny needs to do some serious work to overcome his reputation as a person who will change his opinion to suit to voter he is courting; 3) Gov. Palin is not interseted in being #2, she wants to be President and will not accept anything less. 4) lots more reasons but no desire to list all of them.

Third, The superior rightwing conservative philosphy you speak of is what got the country into the mess it is in right now.

Finally, your long list of attributes that make Romeny/Palin the ticket to win in 2012 is filled with half truths, red herrings, and irrelevent comments. A few examples:

1) pro traditional and Judeo Christian values - many evangelical Christians can not stand Mormoms and do not consider them to be traditional Christians.

2) pro life - Mr. Romeny has been both pro life and pro choice at times during his career.

3) pro God - And what politician is anti God?

4) anti arms agreements with Russia - by all means, lets have another nuclear arms race.

5) pro creation - as in believing in Creation and not eveolution or as in pro sex (procreation)?

6) pro constitution - who is anti-constitution? Former Pres Bush had many of his policies overturned by the Courts as unconstitutional. Does that mean he was anti-constitution?
