Politico, WaPo, ABC: This "no strategy" comment will do serious damage

#1  It hurts because it is true.
Posted by: DarthVader || 08/29/2014 12:34 Comments || Top||

#2  No clue.

#3  The faster the MSM and those who support the emperor recognize he has no clothes, the better off (safer) the country will be. I suspect the "No strategy" comment indicates that the various factions who advises him don't agree on policy. I can't believe the military hasn't "gamed" this six ways to Sunday in the last 2-3 years. Obama is torn between the hawk camp and the anti-war bunch in his base. He is like the jackass between two bales of hay that starved to death trying to decide which bale to go towards. He is trying to balance politics, votes, and ideology against taking on ISIS. He is not George W. Bush; he really can't make a decision.

#4  Some slack please. For once in his confused, dilatory life he wasn't bullshi*ing anyone.

Of course the counter-argument would be, "No stategy" is in fact a strategy.

#5  Ace wH spokesdude says the strategy is to "mitigate the ISIS threat". (Mitigating is like mulling to the "folks" supporting the Champ.)

#6  The strategy is "Iran wins". How to implement it is the problem.
Posted by: Grunter || 08/29/2014 16:15 Comments || Top||

#7  The strategy is detente and alliance with Iran.

#8  I suspect the "No strategy" comment indicates that the various factions who advises him don't agree on policy.

You've pretty much nailed it.

#9  From a political angle, he could be putting the Hildebeast in a bad [WTF do I do or say now] position, and setting the ball up for Elizabeth Warren.
Posted by: Besoeker || 08/29/2014 16:47 Comments || Top||

#10  There is no strategy because the request was "how do we defeat our enemies without fighting".
Posted by: Airandee || 08/29/2014 17:50 Comments || Top||

#11  If Obama made a bad choice because he just triple chunked out of a sand trap, wouldn't the world be improving?

DOJ To Give Money From Bank Of America Settlement To Liberal Activist Groups

#1  How about giving it to the folks that got ripped off by the banks????
Posted by: 49 Pan || 08/29/2014 14:22 Comments || Top||

#2  BOA does not mind a bit. The CEO has visited the whitehouse many times and most likely suggested the settlement terms.
Posted by: Airandee || 08/29/2014 14:58 Comments || Top||

#3  It's the Chicago way.
Posted by: Besoeker || 08/29/2014 16:03 Comments || Top||

#4  I've had some concerns over these federally levied corporate mega-fines for quite some time. Just another way to get around Congressional funding I suspect.
Posted by: Besoeker || 08/29/2014 16:49 Comments || Top||

#5  Might as well throw the money in the trash. Like giving money to the Arabs no trickle down here.
