Obama tells Medvedev he'll have 'more flexibility' after election

If I understand your intent (which I cannot confirm, as your mind evades my comprehension)...you seem to be pointing out the discussion before you chimed in. Please correct me if in error.

If indeed this is the case...why did you decide to avoid the actual debate and attempt a sideline.

Could it be you have failed?

....and here I am....waiting for the accused to bring forth defense.

Could it be that those things competent individuals see as reality have finally come into play?

Could it be that this player in the game we call DP is busy trying to save what is left of his persona?

Could it be that this portion of the game is over?






Stay tuned...same freakin' time...same freakin thread...

This a bit dramatic don't you think. Do you see yourself as some avenger from a computer game? I don't stay here 24/7, but evidently you do.

I guess you didn't read the progression of the posts? Had you read them you'd have seen I commented on your 1st post with - "They hired a great publicist to put the 'atta boy' list together". In answer to a 2nd post I said that I could obtain a list for another sight listing failures of the President. Evidently that was not to your liking or understanding. We can all get list/comments/facts from various websites to "prove" or "refute" claims. I added the title of the thread to one of my return posts because I wasn't looking for an infaction for being off topic, which my posts and your post were.

Now if those simple posts offended you, then you need to grow up.
 
Okay...we'll just let it go.

But, out of curiosity, why did you post a bunch of profile links?
 
Why? Because ad hominem is a ****ty form of argument. And if you don't understand that you're a freakin' moron. ;)

You sit back in your little computer chair, with your little mind, chasing posts. Some, like this one has nothing whatsoever to do with you. You're the kid who watches the big boys duke it out and your screaming on the sidelines "hit hime one for me". Now to quote you - "And if you don't understand that you're a freakin' moron."

On topic: I think time will tell after/if Obama is re-elected.

So I guess you missed the joke? Freakin' moron -- ad hominem? Never mind. :roll:
 
I don't know what you're going on about or why. My post was sarcastic and directed at no one in particular. I certainly wasn't talking to you, because until I saw you'd quoted my post I hadn't read anything you said in this thread.

"You guys jump to conclusions much" ... DiAnna.

I suppose I was just being one of the guys.. :)


Anyway, National security, and allied commitments is not a comodity to be negotiated for. Election year or not, all Obama had to say was that our missile defense system is not negotiable, period!

he likes to assume and make up arguments he THINKS people have its a common MO of his.

the fact is making anything of this is definitely jumping to conclusions, ones based on nothing but guesses and its funny that he did it with your post also the way he did it with this. Common MO in deed. ;)

Hmm.. Don't we all do this to some more or lessor degree? Syntax is rarely an artform if ever on this site, so one can only do thier best to infer what people actually mean when they write the words they say and put them into a sentence. For instance, one reading your post would infer that you seem to have a great deal of knowledge about my posting habits, which in-turn would infer that you have a man crush on me of sorts? You prefaced your first post with the notation that you hadn't actually read the article, and then went on to render judgement on people's reactions to said news article even though you yourself were beginning from a position of complete and utter ignorance. You want some credibility? Perhaps (And this is just me being me and my common MO here) you were simply looking for some love from DiAnna, -or-, maybe you were trying to pick a fight with me? Wouldn't want to infer your purpose for the successive posts in this thread, but when we look back at them, well, they really don't amount to anything profound, and certainly not very helpful in moving the thread along. Perhaps with a tid-bit of insight that would help all of us assertain what you might actually be thinking would have been more helpful, but then again, no one would probably care what you thought, since you pretty much told everyone before you actually said anything that you really didn't know anything anyway. :)

Maybe next time Objective-J... <--- Kind of a misnomer, eh?

And well deserved.

Well Putin might be eating those words come November. An old saying is : "don't crap in your own nest" - and Putin will hedge his bets, if he's smart.

My God....am I ever glad we ended things before you started acting like a freakin' A$$hole. Seriously, I dismissed you because I felt you lacked the ability to entertain thought, comprehension, and rational mindset, and your very next attempt at socialization not only follows the seemingly inept mind, but is mean, nasty, and unworthy of respect.

If you wish to go on the attack...we are certainly Not Done!




Mods please note: I am not attacking this guy, but instead pointing out what I see as a negative to the site.

Really? I'm nasty? In your offended mind I'm supposed to allow Adam T to say to me - "And if you don't understand that you're a freakin' moron." - and not tell him/her to stuff it? I guess it's just those that take a opposing view to your view that are offensive, yes? It's okay for your team to call others "moron", yes?

I don't call others on the board any derogatory names. I attempt to debate my point in an adult way; like I was trying to do on this thread concerning President Obama's comment on "flexibilty.

Now if my post was not to your liking, then be offended. I treat others with respect and expect the same in return.

As I said before, I was joking. If you don't understand that ad hominem is a problem you're a moron? Get it? Moron = ad hominem? I even added the winky emoticon as a big fat clue. :shrug:

"President Obama assured Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Monday that he'd have "more flexibility" after the November election, during a conversation that appeared to focus on the touchy issue of missile defense."

Wonder what this flexibility is that he'll have after he wins a 2nd term? On a clear day the President can see forever.

I agree its wrong for policy makers to consider their potential re-elections when it comes to policy making, however its an inevitable fact of a democracy. Going all the way back to Athens when a bunch of Athenians put off the vote to attack the Spartans until after their elections. Or more recently in 2004, the last time we had an incumbent President running again, Bush put off the attack on Fallujah until just after the elections to avoid the negative press coverage of increased fighting and causalities.

Good points. I have no idea what the "flexibilty" comment means. It could mean he will have a free hand or it could mean he doesn't have the time now to get deep into negotiatios.
 
No, the correct question you should be asking yourself is, "Do I actually get it, or am I giving a knee-jerk reaction without cause or historical understanding?"

You do realize that these conversations have occurred with all Presidents, right? .

Oh no, Republicans would NEVER think of doing such a thing.

"Obama's Doublespeak on Russian Missile Defense and Israel"

"President Obama's recent open mic comments to President Medvedev of Russia are troubling, which explains why Obama and the White House have decided to make light of them. It seems that every time a microphone captures the president in unscripted remarks, he's saying something that goes against his own public pronouncements."

"There was the famous incident in November, 2011, when French President Nicolas Sarkozy, not knowing his microphone was hot, expressed his contempt for Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling him a liar, with President Obama jumping in to commiserate, lamenting the fact that he has to deal with Netanyahu even more than the French."


Could the Rabbi be right?

Not sure what we are supposed to take out of this gem. Reasonable people should care that our Representative government acts this way regardless of party.
 
:lamo In other words, when I'm re-elected, I've got nothing to lose.

That would depend on how many seats the Democrats lose in the Senate and in the House. In 2010 they lost 63 in the House and 6 in the Senate. If they lose just 19 more in the House and 13 in the Senate, they will have a veto proof majority as well as the ability to impeach Obama if he gets too stupid.
