Lech Walesa: Obama Doesn't Care If US Reamains World Superpower

Arent you suppose to be working on how Obama got elected to the Senate ?

I graduated college 14 years ago, and the best part of that is that I never have to do homework again.
 
President Obama is trying to steer America away from WAR. Yes he has to bend and bow to other world leaders. We have to live on earth together somehow. And if that is viewed as not caring about being Superpower, so be it. He has a plan and has to fight conservatives tooth and nail to get anything done.

Steered the US away from war??? Where do you get that idea?
 
It's a shame to see such a great figure in history say something so stupid.
 
Lech Walesa: Obama Doesn't Care If US Remains World Superpower


To the best of my knowledge, this isn't a politically in-correct Polish Joke. The former POP (President of Poland) came down on Obama. Don't know why it has taken so long for so many world leaders to speak out, maybe they wanted to give Obama a second chance ? :lamo But I went on record back in April of 2009 that the job of POTUS was bigger than Obama.

Teaser:

>" Anti-communist crusader and former president of Poland Lech Walesa tells Newsmax that of all the national leaders currently on the world stage, the one who has "disillusioned" him the most is President Barack Obama.

Walesa also asserts that Obama "wasn't ready" to take on the task of leading the world's most dominant superpower.

And he calls for reforms at the United Nations so the world body can help fill the vacuum left by the United States' failure of leadership under Obama..."<


Another excerpt:

>"As for his views on Obama, Walesa declares: "Personally, I feel that two politicians disillusioned me the most — myself and President Obama. I prefer to skip talking about myself, but let's discuss why Obama has been such a disappointment.

"When he was elected, everyone hoped and expected that he would reform not only the United States but also the rest of the world. But he failed to implement any constructive reforms. Moreover, it seems like perhaps he doesn't even care if America is still perceived as the superpower it once was."

He added, with tongue slightly in cheek: "If that's the case and if the U.S. doesn't really want to be a superpower anymore, I'd say let Poland take over that leadership and we'd take care of the rest. I promise you, we'd know what to do."..."<

Dude, the US's world prominence has been waning for 2-3 decades now. It's got a ways to go, and will continue to decline after Obama's departure. You CAN NOT pin this entirely on him.

President Obama took us to war in Libya, without the approval of congress, violated the UN resolution, made all attempts to attack Syria coming within just days of it last summer before being shut down, and has been VERY hawkish in the WestPac!!!!
 
Well his plan involved Conservative participation, but instead of participate you decided to play hard ass with every thing he has ever tried to do. You don't know the plan because you just down everything he tries to do. You can be part of the problem or part of the solution. You are the problem!!

That's just silly.
 
You can pretty much bet the farm that when APACHERAT accuses others of using revisionist history, he's in the very process of using revisionist history.

There's only two constitutional requirements for presidency. Personally I'd rather see someone fresh and new like Obama (though I've been displeased with his performance) than to have someone who's been around Washington for decades.

Actually, Obama is part of the problem as well.

No. He is not as can be seen from his ramping up the war in Afghanistan, bombing Libya, and aiding the Syrian rebels.

I usually tend to get my history from what history is written from. Otherwise you find yourself reading someones personal opinions of the events. This is true with almost anything published after 1960.

BTW: How many acres is your farm ?

Obama even allowed a U.S. Navy warship be sent on it's first combat partol and the ships only gun didn't work.

The surest way for America to be in a war is to not be the worlds super power. It is a sad reality that if you are not the biggest and baddest on the planet someone will try to take what you have.

The president isn't responsible for the guns on a ship. Who would think that?

Oh dear lord, and that happened when exactly?
 
The current President seems not to be responsible for anything.

Stop being so partisan. This president is responsible for everything he has done, good or bad. Wtf would you think otherwise?

Because everyone I have talked to who works in Dept. of the Interior, Transportation, Homeland Security, Treasury, and also the guys over at JPL say it's as if nobody is in charge anymore.

Why would anybody deny that Obama is president??
 
I haven't heard anyone denying that Obama isn't President. But I have heard many say that it's as if no one is in charge.

90% of your arguments are "you heard" or "scuttlebutt is." Forgive me if I don't take your word for it.

The majority of my college fraternity was Army guys, and pretty much all have been in one of the respective hot zones. I am in constant contact with almost all of them, except for the guys who are doing hardcore stuff ... nobody really gets to talk to them much. Some like Obama, some don't. A few feel that Obama is selling them up the river, many more don't. See, anecdotal evidence works in my favor too.
 
And Repubs are the reason only that was accomplished.
It is pretty pathetic when you have the House and Senate and the presidency for two years....the only thing you can accomplish is a really bad law. They couldn't do anything about immigration? They couldn't have fixed the offending sections of the Voting Rights Act?

Nah.. mostly just the rather pathetic ACA, Cries of Republican obstructionism only hold so much water.
 
Here's some of his initiatives

I have no idea what you are saying.

Do you man that no one is denying that Obama is President, or that no one says that Obama is President.

Double negatives can be so confusing.
