WH: We've 'Substantially Improved the Tranquility of the Global Community'
2014-07-16
[CNSNEWS] White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday the B.O. regime's foreign policies in a number of areas have enhanced the world's "tranquility" — a word that raised eyebrows as news hounds pointed to situations in Gazoo, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Ukraine and the South China Sea.

More than one news hound during Monday's press briefing referred to a front-page Wall Street Journal article highlighting some of those crises, and citing security strategists as saying "the breadth of global instability now unfolding hasn't been seen since the late 1970s."

"How does the White House react to the notion that the president is a bystander to all these crises?" asked Fox News' Ed Henry, citing the widening gaps between the sides in the Iranian nuclear talks, the conflict in and around Gazoo, and the Syrian civil war.

"I think that there have been a number of situations in which you've seen this administration intervene in a meaningful way, that has substantially furthered American interests and substantially improved the, uh, you know, the — the tranquility of the global community," Earnest replied.

#13  I'm sure Josh was thinking of Libya and Somalia, where no US troops have been sent. Lately.

Not to mention, the "Kinetic Action" against Libya was about getting Euro oil, which now has to be imported from the US exports recovered by fracking! You recall Champ wanted to take credit for the increase in oil produced during his first term? This is a balance of trade benefit.

Go ahead, ask him. I'm sure that's what he meant!

#12  Oh, so Obama isn't troubled by anything anymore.

I guess that happens when after 6 years the golf game is actually worse and nobody calls anymore.

Its an interesting point about his buena serra in Italy. Its not like he got loose or some shit, found a nice little restaurant, and the local people who be dropped what they were doing and rushed out to have prawns with Obama. Those people were summoned. Sure I bet they went voluntarily, finished voluntarily, and waited until Obama's ego was voluntarily fulfilled. Still, summoned.

And this grand saunter, I guess his code name was bear or something? The only thing animal related bear this guy has going on is what Putin has done to him. Sure it wasn't the meaning tough to be around; unbearable? Sure it wasn't bare..?

Yes, #thebareisloose

#9  Usually a press spokesman for a liberal takes care to preserve the facade of honest, informed opinion so the press can play along with some level of credibility. This dolt has sqandered his small ration in a week. What a jackass.
