And What will Obama do . . . .
by sonfan1969

when he does have a sit down with Ahmadinejad and all he has to say is F-you? I have the bad feeling that if he sits down with these trolls and they use unkind words he's going to soil himself.

I actually believe there are merits to having a sit down with the Iranians and North Koreans directly, but I think I'd rather have Paulie Walnuts and not Garrison Keillor do the talking.

You've pretty much had that for the past 7 1/2 years.

What has been accomplished?

I would rather have an intelligent President negotiating than an old warmonger who sings songs about bombing Iran.

Well, if my decision box were current policy and Obama letting himself get smacked around I have to go with current policy.

Historically, this current crew is different than Ronnie or even W's daddy. Ronnie might have called the Soviet Union the "evil empire" and made a stupid comment about bombing Russia, but he did sit down with Gorby.

If he's elected and becomes our President, I just hope he doesn't get played for a patsy. That's more dangerous than the foolish stubborness we currently have.

I honestly believe that Obama is smarter than you give him credit for being. We'll never know unless he is elected. Elections are always a guessing game.

No, the recent history of Western Civilization is filled with good intensioned, reasonable men who get taken advantage of in discussions with bad intensioned, unreasonable people.

I get the feeling that you're the sort of guy that soils himself a lot, and feels better when he can project his inadequacies onto other people.

And maroci's momma wears combat boots!

Nothing like an ad hominem attack when no other repsonse will suffice.

Really, what's Obama going to do when the Iranians start getting nasty in bilateral talks?
