Nearly Half Of Americans Don't Trust Obama To "Do The Right Thing"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Needless to say, not everyone is particularly enamored with US foreign policy under the Obama administration.

Early attempts at a Russian “reset” have culminated in a “reset” of the Cold War, Yemen has gone from “model of success” to “failed state” in the space of nine months, and Syria has been transformed into what UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon recently called “the worst circle of hell” after a former CIA “strategic asset” lost track of its Assad usurpation directive, went rogue, and embarked on bloody campaign to establish a medieval Islamic caliphate.

Fortunately for the President, there are still some sympathetic countries out there (like France), but as you can see from the following map, the administration doesn’t fare very well in terms of the public's perception of Obama's propensity to "do the right thing regarding world affairs" in pivotal countries such as Israel, Pakistan, Ukraine, China, Russia, and .. America.

That’s ok, the President is popular in the Philippines.

Nope. The rot starts with the belief that there was someone else to blame. That some other politician who was suppsed th represent us was going to do so when we all know that they can be and are, bought off by the highest bidder/lobbiest. Free money from the printing press will grant you primarily, the wherewithal to care not who makes the laws, you can buy the Representatives of the people, the ratifiers of Parliamentary Bills and the judges employed to enshrine them.
The blame game is of little import if it is directed at a contrived enemy.

I don't know why antisemites like yourself lump Judaism and their places of worship in with those who simply have a last name like Goldberg, Cohen or Katz.

Are there dirt-bags running large banks, media outlets and movie houses that can trace their family heritage to Ashkenazi Jews of Europe? Yes.

Are these people generally motivated by their Judaism or a love for the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob? NO!

Your comment is one of pure ignorance and real bigotry that has lead to the persecution of the decent majority of people to pay for the sins of a tiny minority of lousy people who are lumped together.

The bankers aren't evil because they're Jews, they're evil because they're just ordinary greedy, self-serving people who happen to be Jewish.

Please take your hate elsewhere.

all reasonable, but I noticed you failed to address why jews, at 2.5% of the population, are such a wildly disproportionte amount of those bankers and oligarchs.

 

and not just in the US but in many countries, where they are tiny fractions of the population. South Africa might be the most stunning example.  To this day of course the diamond trade is largely in Jewish hands.

 

Is it because Jews are so gosh darned smarter than everyone else, and if thats it, isn't it fair to say other traits beside intelligence are genetic?

 

And if its more complex, fine - but you evade a substantial issue by casually saying "happen to be Jewish."

 

Hollywood, for example has not been kept in Jewish hands for decades by people who "happen to be" Jewish - no, there is a deliberate effort to box out the goyim and control the media, or, the evidence fo r that proposition is considerable.

"happen to be" begs, in the colloquial sense, the question.

 

No offense meant, but calling it "hate" doesn't wash ...

Nearly half?  So only "nearly half" the people are awake, paying attention and give a damn.  Truly it is long past time to tighten up who receives the privledge of voting and who does not.  Literacy tests, English speaking skills, gainfull employment in the private sector (not a union member), property owner, not on welfare or food stamps...those are just some of the MINIMUM qualifications that we should enact and enforce.  Oh yeah, and you have to provide photo ID just like you do when you want to buy alcohol.

45% will think the republican president is doing a great / poor job

45% will think the democrat president is doing a great / poor job. 

No matter what happens. Except when Bush Jr. attacked after 911, but his popularity eventually fell to the base supporters. 

No matter what you think of obama, 45% will stand behind him as better than the alternative. 

I only wish I could go into an alternative reality where Romney is president and has 'nearly half of american's don't trust him' and I could say I told you so.

I sure don't

http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Politics-And-Diplomacy/Obama-administra...

This a priori gate keeping for Israel by the US is absurd. At times, I understand, it has made sense.

But this is just protecting Israei politicians and generals from the repercussions that any other nation's leaders would face.

This doesnt help the US, its yet more of a sign to the world, especially the muslim world, that the Jewish State controls the world's superpower by levers of money and media - something which can not be dismissed as either enturely false nor unfair.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE, ISRAELI SOLDIERS ARE BRAVELY COMING FORWARD - PROVIDING CLEAR, UNEQUIVOCAL EVIDENCE OF WAR CRIMES

http://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/

But the UN report, which they havent read yet, is flawed ab initio because why? Because Israel is incapable of war crimes, or because it isn't a war crime when the US or Israel do it to Muslims?

You may add to this Zioccupation of American politics the fast track agreement

http://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/news/lauder-anti-bds-measure-adopt...

http://www.timesofisrael.com/landmark-anti-bds-law-passes-final-senate-l...

http://fpif.org/lawmakers-are-using-trade-rules-to-blacklist-critics-of-...

Israel commits war crimes, its own soldiers say so, various rights groups say so, journalists say so, witnesses say so, the UN says so...

and not only doesnt it matter, the US continues to fund and arm Israel mid-warcrime, and now is using the TPP to try to prevent people from boycotting Israel because of Israel's warcrimes and ongoing occupation and subjugation of another people!

Ultimately, Jewish power - not "Zionist" - but Jewish power, in media, government, banking - not just in the US, but in the UK, France, Canada, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, South Africa - and many other places, must be examined as being a tacit global conspiracy to place Israel above the law, even as Israel's right *clearly* intends more land grabs and furtherance of the Oded Yinon Plan which I have read about here first.

I know this may sound ....whatever... I no longer care.

that word - "antisemitism" seems to me to now mainly be used to insulate Israel from ever having to worry about its open and obvious plans to ethnically cleanse the rest of Palestine, and use its US puppet to continue to bomb and murder all over Syria and Iraq and Lebanon and onto Iran to remake the middle east for the convenience of Jewish ultra nationalists.

Even 3 weeks ago I thought it tin foil nonsense, but it seems so obvious.

ISIS is the US, as puppets of the Israelis and the Zionist Jews who control so much of the American [and British and Canadian] deep states.

The longer they succeed the less likely it is there can be any sort of peace - for the Oded Yinon Plan depends on peace being prevented!
