Give Barry a break. Just weeks before he met those guys he was a do nothing junior senator, and before that, a rabble rouser community organizer. He's just a little awestruck.

Vladimir just told Barack to ground his planes in Syria.
Obama has decided that Assad doesn't have to go now. Nice that he can be more flexible now, eh?
( never mind that I don't like Assad either, it was either stupid or pro-jihadi to declare that he has to go..... directly threatening a Russian client is unwise. )
I have nothing nice to say about Socialists so I am mostly keeping quiet lately...and my powder dry. Progressive pukes simply can not be reasoned with, here or anywhere. They truly are mentally ill and don't even know it.
Y'all are welcome for the Cruz post. He's a brave and intelligent man.
I haven't been gone; I follow all the political threads.
We live in interesting times, and our country is fighting for its very survival as a constitutional republic. It may already be too late. If so, the Founders are surely heartbroken (and damned pissed off).
Many have observed that President Obama and his administration act as if words are the same as deeds. This is a habit of academics, for whom the power of words is supreme, while actual deeds in the real world, including deeds with force behind them, are a lower form of activity.
Of course! Marxists love dialectic materialism. The conceit that the argument is the reality. It's a combination tool.
By arguing from false assumptions you both cheat at winning the arguments and have a great propaganda tool.
A century of Soviet mass economic failure, starvation, ( only saved by Charity from the U.S. & Europe ) shows that the Argument is Not reality. In Marxist countries the Prisoners are kept from leaving by walls, mine fields, guard towers with machine guns and threats against their families. OBVIOUSLY autocratic rule is a superior system to one that is ruled by the peasants. ( insert max sarcasm emotocon here )
If you annoy Putin you go to jail, or are murdered. Same was true for a century of Soviet rule. Same is true today in China. That's beyond doubt why Barack Hussein Obama so admires the Chinese government's ability to act, for good or ill. ( mostly ill )
As always, what Barack's actual motives are is a big question. ( we now know he can't be trusted to ever tell the truth )
Why was he so committed to oust Assad?
Going against a Soviet puppet state protected by a nuclear armed enemy of the West seems out of character for an anti-colonialist, anti-Europe, anti-American leader.
It's the natural growth of the "Arab Spring" rise of Islamofascism that Barack pushed across Africa, where he supported overthrowing secular rulers ( some pretty nasty, others not so bad ) with methods ranging from public praise, ( Liberia ) blackmail, ( Egypt ) to airstrikes supporting civil war. ( Libya )
The ONLY common denominator is calling for secular rulers to be destroyed, and support for Islamist theocrats, terror by rape, and genocide.
Barack is STILL punishing Egypt for defying his will on keeping the Jihadi leader he loved with the rape gangs roaming the streets and the persecution, arson, and murder of Christians and other muslims.
Is Syria just an extension of the pro-jihad "Arab Spring"? ( aka "Arab Dark Age" )
Or is the current Obama policy a sign of the "more Flexibility" Barack promised Putin? Is it paranoid to point out that every action of this President can easily be interpreted as him obeying his Masters in Moscow?
People in this region will curse the United States and Barack Obama for generations. With Cause.

Washington, D.C. -- In a stunning announcement no one expected to hear prior to his trip to Roseburg, Ore., President Barack Obama backed off his long held proposals for new background checks, and has proposed a full-court press to find and bring to justice the black murderers plaguing his home town of Chicago. http://www.chicagotribune.com/..........
According to government sources, the Chicago police force will receive emergency funding to track down and prosecute the gangs and hit squads that have been terrorizing select neighborhoods with impunity for decades. Despite hundreds of murders in the city, with offenses occurring on a near daily basis, virtually no one is arrested or prosecuted for the crimes. Murder is the worst crime on the books.
"I recognize my former approach to gun violence will take a long time and meet with bitter resistance, but this new plan will have an immediate effect and start saving lives, especially black lives, right away," the President said at a hastily called private meeting. "Black lives matter," he said, "and I plan to make that more than words."
This reverses his long held yet failed policy of seeking new national gun laws that have been fought vehemently by the powerful gun lobby and left him, in his own words, "stymied." Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has been pursuing new gun laws on a state level, privately, using his own money, with very limited results.
Mr. Obama made the announcement following a month in which his home town Chicago reached 59 murders and 362 gunshot victims in September 2015, marking the Democratic-run city's deadliest month since 2002, according to analysis by The Chicago Tribune. http://www.chicagotribune.com/........
Chicago has some the toughest gun laws in the nation, but like other cities with tough gun laws, black neighborhoods in particular suffer enormous amounts of gun-related violence, with very little crime control or police enforcement. Critics have pointed out that tough gun laws, and tough law enforcement are not the same thing, with Chicago as a case in point. http://www.gunlaws.com/GunshotDemographics....
Reached for comment, gun-rights advocates were virtually speechless, preferring to not go on the record, since they were inclined to say, "I told you so," having been calling for a new approach to the failed policies the president and other left-leaning politicians have been attached to for so long. They also did not believe the change could be true.
