Is that the interview with Charlie Rose, Lily? If so, I read a transcript.....

Putin via a translator is ten times better than Obama with a teleprompter every time.

**lily** Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:15 pm

Yes, Bonny. Some of the swift looks on Putin's face were priceless. rofl

So many people think our guy is an idiot. It's a shame really....

**bb1** Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:27 pm

Thing is, if we all know he's lying, then all those world leaders do, too.

**lily** Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:35 pm

Of course they do. Then there have to be more lies told to cover the old ones etc.....

Quote:

Leading Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday said he supported Russian efforts to fight Islamic State militants in the Middle East, including Syria.

Asked whether he backed those like Russia who supported Syrian President Bashar al Assad or those who see him as the source of Syria's current crisis, Trump told NBC's "Today" program: "I side with the group that says 'if Russia wants to go and fight ISIS, you should let them', as opposed to saying 'we're jealous, we don't want you to do that'.

Quote:

Asked about whether Assad was the source of the country's ills, Trump said it was not clear and questioned who would replace him if he were ousted.

"The people that want to come in and replace Assad, nobody knows who they are and they could end up being worse," he said. "We're constantly going out and siding with people and they turn out to be worse than the people who were there before.''

Gets my vote.

Well, no, actually, chum. A great many parliamentary democracies are also monarchies, for starters, and in many republics the presidency is more of an honourary role - as in Ireland - than an actively political one.

Lord, Obama is an ignorant, arrogant fool.

**lily** Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:21 pm

You bet. Aren't we lucky? Pcorneater

**bb1** Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:25 pm

This has come up before, hasn't it, and Obama still hasn't grasped that the US ISN'T a 'democracy', it's a republic?

**lily** Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:28 pm

It sure is Bonny. We do however go by the democratic process. Obama is constantly getting things wrong.

**bb1** Wed Sep 30, 2015 12:50 pm

I saw a short list of Obama's achievements on a blog.

1. Send sales of guns and ammo to an all-time high.

2. Send sales of Confederate flags to an all-time high.

3. Make Vladimir Putin the most powerful leader in the world....

You get the gist.....

Good Lord, Obama even got lectured by Cameron:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/sep/29/david-cameron-confronts-obama-roots-islamist-extre/

British Prime Minister David Cameron challenged President Obama with some blunt talk on Islamist extremism Tuesday during a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations to develop an international strategy for defeating the Islamic State and other terrorist groups.

Well aware that Mr. Obama shuns the term “Islamist extremists,” the Conservative British prime minister reacted strongly at the meeting when the president, who chaired the session, advised the assembled foreign leaders to avoid profiling Muslims because “violent extremism is not unique to any one faith.”

“Barack, you said it and you’re right — every religion has its extremists,” Mr. Cameron said. “But we have to be frank that the biggest problem we have today is the Islamist extremist violence that has given birth to ISIL, to al-Shabab, to al-Nusra, al Qaeda and so many other groups.”..

Well, at least everyone KNOWS Cameron isn't a secret muslim. Wink

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/09/30/donald-trump-syrian-refugees-might-be-a-terrorist-army-in-disguise/

KEENE, N.H. --- Donald Trump does not want the United States to host Syrian refugees because he said there's a possibility they might be a massive terrorist army in disguise.

"They could be ISIS -- I don't know," Trump told a crowd of more than 3,500 at a high school here Wednesday night.

Syria has been embroiled in a violent, bloody war for several years that has forced millions of people to flee and seek safety in surrounding countries and in Europe. The United States has recently come under fire for not accepting as many refugees as several other major nations.

But Trump raised questions about these refugees and their intentions.

"Did you ever see a migration like that?" he said. "They're all men, and they're all strong-looking guys... There are so many men; there aren't that many women. And I'm saying to myself: Why aren't they fighting to save Syria? Why are they migrating all over Europe? Seriously."......more at link.

Please Odin let Trump be elected, it would be such a relief for the world to be run by real, grown-up men again, instead of weaselling, corrupt half-wits obsessed with transgender rights and other soshul isshoos.

Donald Trump a hit in Russia? You wouldn’t think so. But the mayor of Yalta in Crimea has wished the maverick Republican success in the 2016 presidential election and invited him to visit the city, hinting that a street may be renamed after him.
“We are following the elections process in your country with great interest,” Yalta Mayor Andrey Rostenko wrote in an open letter to Trump published on the city’s website. “We like your election program and we like you as an extraordinary person.”

The mayor added: “After your victory in the election you plan to establish friendly relations with President Putin – and this is an excellent decision.”

Rostenko said that Trump’s approach to foreign policy was very similar to Russia’s, and he saw this as positive. “You want to be friends with China, and we want the same thing. You support Russia’s effort in fighting international terrorism and so do we. We have a lot in common and this is a fine excuse to arrange a meeting,” the letter read.

The mayor reminded The Donald that Yalta has the only street in the Russian Federation named after a US president - the Franklin Roosevelt Street. He wished Trump victory in the polls and suggested that “one day Yalta might get one more street named after the US leader who made an invaluable input into the improvement of relations between our two peoples.”

Earlier this week, Trump praised Russia’s anti-terrorist operation in Syria, noting that Moscow is “bombing the hell out of ISIS” because President Putin wants to prevent terrorism spilling into Russia. Trump also criticized US Middle East policies as “failed” and leading to a “total mess” in Iraq and Libya.

At least someone has ideas on the right track.

I think the two men would understand each other perfectly, Lily. They are both patriots, both have a proven record of success, and neither of them are widely suspected of being closet moslems - or closet anything else. Wink

**lily** Thu Oct 08, 2015 6:32 pm

I bet neither would get the Nobel Peace Prize for doing it.

SOROS TRIES TO BUY LOCAL LOUISIANA ELECTION
Soros has injected $256,000 into a Louisiana political race

Liberal billionaire George Soros is pouring money into a local election in Louisiana in the hopes of buying the election for a Democratic candidate, the Times-Picayune reports.

Soros has injected $256,000 into a Louisiana political race through a Super PAC based in Bossier City.

The Super PAC, Louisiana Safety & Justice PAC, has produced an ad benefiting James E. Stewart, a Democratic candidate and former judge in a six-way race for district attorney in Caddo Parish in north Louisiana. Soros has historically supported Democratic candidates and liberal causes.
