President Obama "Phones It In" To Explain How Well Things Are Going In Iraq - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Mass graves - transitory. Military coups - noise. ISIS direct calls for American blood - no problem. Siding with another unelected leader without being sure - new normal foreign policy. Arming kurd fighters - sure why not. Saving a few 100 Yazidi in the name of humanitarianism (oh and the oil sshh) - priceless. We hope President Obama has had a restful morning on his vacation at Martha's Vineyard as he speaks on the latest political developments in Iraq (which last week he explained were crucial if the army was ever to fight for the 'nation' ever again). Just a reminder, the call is 'audio only'  - listen hard for the calls of 'fore' in the background.

 

President Obama is due to speak at 1645ET (set your alarm accordingly).. and yes he is 'phoning it in'

Under 30, only because he is phoning it in and he can read the teleprompter without being seen reading it.

Besides, if he doesn't get it over with he won't be able to get in 18 holes before it gets dark.

He doesn't need to spend any time wiping the coke from under his nose or sobering up, when he is on the phone.

'Bammy hasn't been able to deliver on Syria, hasn't been able to deliver on the Ukraine, prolly isn't going to deliver anything on Iraq.

 

I doubt the bankers will be giving him a moments peace on the Vineyard this summer.

After his big golf game, he's going to go back to the palace, where he and Michele will masturbate while they watch videos of the Missouri looting (thumbs up so far, right folks!) and little Christian brown-skinned kids getting their heads chopped off by Obama's friends. (too far? thumbs down now, because Obama loves Christians, and his actions never benefit radical Islam? (scratch that, they ALWAYS benefit the murder brigades))

As I sit and reflect on this joke of a presidency I wonder how did we as a country come to be so excepting of the lies , manipulation and thievery these politicians dole out. Its not only Obama but all of congress gone for vacation when they are going to start a war? And We The People just sit back bend over and say oh yes daddy give me more lies sex and video of you fist fucking me and my country. What do we do just sit here and blog throw a few one liners and on to the next story? I t am guilty and really just a reflection of how sad we Americans are 6 years of a community organizer plus 8 years of Bush the ignorant and we are close to kissing our asses good bye.
But again just thinking out loud as I sit in Starbux enjoying a 2.55 overpriced cup of jo.

He could feel better immediately if he stopped drinking that Starbucks crap. Burnt coffee causes anxiety and stomach acid. Unless you wear flannel shirts and listen to Nirvana all the time.

Obama's job is to make the world safe for bankers. If the world is falling apart for the rest of us, well that's not his concern. With the bankers safe, he can play a little golf.

The NVA responded to US firepower by switching nimbly from conventional offensives to guerrilla tactics — as the so-called Islamic State seems to be doing now.

...

What’s particularly critical for such forces – and what was lost on many of Mao’s lesser imitators – is the importance of being able to step back from large-scale offensives to dispersed hit-and-run tactics if the enemy suddenly gets stronger. As ideologically and culturally alien as Sunni Arab zealots are from East Asian Communists, it seems ISIS has grasped the universal applicable principle. That’s not good news.

Looks like Barry missed the memo.
