You could have stopped at "I don't like Obama;" the rest is just exposition. Joel Send a noteboard - 10/08/2013 10:12:57 AM

This part illustrates things nicely:


View original post[Obama] had no problems pulling the rug out from under US ally Hosni Mubarak, who compared to Assad looks like an angel, but he had to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting the effort to overthrow Qaddhafi and when it came to Assad, he was more averse to military action than France (which by itself should be troubling).

If Obama supports a Mideast uprising against a dictator he is "pulling the rug out from under a US ally;" if he does NOT it is "why does the left support dictators?" Obama is wrong—on any subject, whatever his position—because he is Obama; the facts are only relevant to justifying that predetermined, literally prejudiced, conclusion. I pretty much ignore Republican/conservative criticisms of Obamas foreign policy these days, because they ALWAYS criticize ANY policy he pursues. Syria makes a great case study though because you made this post right in the middle of Republicans going from "why does Obama love terror sponsors so much he refuses to help Syrias rebels?!" to "why is Obama arming Al Qaeda rebels in Syria?!"

His actions DO. NOT. MATTER! He is wrong because he is Obama, and Obama is ALWAYS wrong.

I am no fan of the guy, really, but neither am I a fan of ad hominems. You want to know why Obama dragged his feet on giving Libyas rebels air support against Qadaffi? Ask the House Republicans who wrote impeachment legislation calling it "unconstitutional war." Or the ones who later wrote OTHER impeachment legislation claiming Obama should have sent more troops to Libya (even though, they refused to PAY for those troops.) Seriousy, wtf is the point in talking? Obama should just do his thing, win or lose, because as long as the "loyal" opposition is in "impeach first and ask questions later" mode there is no reasoning with them, and trying is a waste of valuable dwindling time.
