Foreign policy isn't on the list.

My mistake.Since distancing himself from his Chicago church and pastor, to the best of my knowledge, the President has not been a regular churchgoer.
Whether any President does or not doesn't make much difference to me, BTW.
Like the near collapse of several large banks under his predecessor and inheriting a war we should have never had?!? :lol:It is somewhat ironic that black and Hispanic employment especially among youth are harder hit under a half Euro, half African president than they ever were under a European president.
This speaks to the irony that many leftists are in it for misguided reasons. They don't understand the deeper Left elements and what's really going on, nor do they understand class structures enough to realize that they're much better off economically with a Euro president than a non Euro one. Oh well. It's all good fun to observe nonetheless.

You didn't respond to post #24...you POSTED post #24, which was a response to MY post #3. Now, you can be sure that I read post #3, since I wrote the damned thing.
I'm not so sure that you read what you write, though. LOL!!
..... but you align with MSNBC.
Why? There should be absolutely zero motivation for the MSNBC faithful to view other sources. You're immune to the truth, after all.You can bet your booties on that, but I "do" watch them all.....

I think it's his ineffectiveness in working with the republican congress. I can't honestly say its his fault fully however. There is an extremely influential conservative media corps who set the ideological stance of the grass roots republican voter constituency. They've defined cooperating with the president in any way, including in areas that are traditionally conservative issues and/or issues that have been previously advanced by conservatives, as complicity with advancing Marxism/communism/socialism/terrorism/anti-Americanism. Little to no cooperation with the GOP congress has been Obama's Achilles Heel that I trace back to the power of talk radio, Fox News and conservative bloggers.
At the same time Newton's Law says every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Although the right-wing media can honestly claim bragging rights for slamming the breaks on the president's ability to get everything he wants done, at least not easily or enjoyably, much of their MO that includes a lot of unfair demonization and outright dishonesty obvious to almost everybody not blinded by their partisan passions has destroyed their credibility with almost everyone who not a right-wing hack. I think the right-wing media's ability to attract new converts to conservatism and by extension the republican's party's ability to reach new people is gone for a long time. They'll be able to keep their base worked up and angry but I can't see the GOP growing outside those already in the camp, which equates to keeping the country politically polarized decreasing over time as the base dies off, which will be sooner rather than later since the GOP base is made up of a significant percenge of older Americans.
If Obama really wanted to work with Republicans, he would call off his dog, Reid, and let the bills the House has sent to the Senate come up for a vote. He won't do that...and Reid won't let the Senate vote...so neither Obama nor the Senate Democrats are interested in working with the Republicans.
You see, it's not Obama's place to demand that everything he wants gets done, though that's appears to be how he sees it. For him it's "my way or the highway".
LOL Since you seem to say Obama should demand that SOMETHING he wants should get done. What do you think the chances are that Boehner lets the House vote on the Immigration bill that passed the Senate with bipartisan support unlike those junk House bills?
At least Boehner will give a reason...unlike Reid, who just ****cans bills he doesn't want anyone to vote on.
In any case, I didn't say that Obama SHOULD demand that something he wants gets done. I said just the opposite, in fact.
Reading comprehension a problem for you?
You said that Obama should not demand EVERYTHING he wants to be done. But you apparently meant that a President cannot ask for ANYTHING he wants, in typical partisan manner. Why should Reid even think about the partisan junk coming out of the House when Boehner won't allow a bill with Republican support in the Senate a fair vote in the House?.
