Quote of the Week

“Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top Al-Qaeda leaders who have been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement… or whoever’s left out there.”
Barack Obama, responding to insinuations from some GOP presidential candidates that he is an appeaser.

More please.

One thing that has pissed me off about Obama is his reluctance to tout his many foreign policy achievements. If George W. Bush had this many successes under his belt less than three years into his presidency, we would have seen him prancing around in a flight suit on the deck of an aircraft carrier screaming "mission accomplished" over and over again as he repeatedly pissed himself.

Maybe Obama thinks his successes speak for themselves, but if the GOP is stupid enough to go after him on foreign policy, I expect to see more of this from him.

By the way, isn't it great to have a president who isn't a pussy when it comes to foreign policy, particularly when it comes to dealing with Pakistan? Bush and Cheney's weakness in this area basically rose to the level of treason.
