Barack's Inability To Make Decisions!

By Outraged
Published/Last Modified on Friday, November 13, 2009 4:47 AM CST

Barack Obama Is a great campaigner but now that he holds the office of President he CANNOT make timely decisions!!! The commander he appointed to lead the war in Afganistan sent a request over two months ago for more troops and Barack is still struggling with the issue!!! Brave men and women are in harms way, getting killed and maimed every day and he goes to social functions, plays baskrtball with his buddies, plays golf, travels around raising money for his fellow Democrats and can't make a decision on the war HE said was necessary to fight and win!!!

MR. PRESIDENT BRING THEM HOME IF YOUR NOT GOING TO SEND HELP!!!!

GOD forbid if our national survival depended on him making a decision in a timely manner!!!

GREAT campaigner!!! NOT a LEADER!!!

HOPE & CHANGE

" It has nothing what so ever to do with "RACE" dude. it has to do with his idiotic policies. Race is something ya'll use to try to trump your argument. That's so old it smells dude. Look at what Obama is 'doing' not just listen to what he's saying. Look at the outcome of his actions, check out history on these types of decisions. They don't work to our favor. IT'S NOT ABOUT RACE, did you hear me that time. Throw your race card away, it stinketh. "

Afghanistan will be lost because Obama lost it!!! "

Cont.
As for unemployment. When democrats were elected in Nov 05 as the majority in Congress, unemployment was a whopping 4.5 percent and our national debt was $9 trillion. In just three years democrats more than doubled unemployment and added another third to our debt.

Don’t accept my word for it. Just research it.

Even liberals are beginning to laugh at people who can’t get over Obama’s campaign slogan of “it’s Bush’s fault”.
I didn’t do it mommy, Bush did. "

Tom wrote on Nov 23, 2009 8:46 PM:

" Charlie, let me try to answer a couple of your questions.

First, I agree with you about the war, especially the one in Afghanistan. A smart president like Obama would have apologized for building the Twin Towers and Pentagon directly in the flight path of those aircraft. He would have accused those passengers on the forth aircraft of “acting stupidly” for causing it to crash. "

" Obama has made, and continues to make, the best decisions since his predecessor 'Act First-Think Never' Dubya left office, most notably his decision to implement the will of the majority of Americans who elected him. Arguably his second best decision is to ignore the chicken hawks and bellicose oil toadies who continue to wring their hands while they cry crocodile tears and moan along with Glenn Blech.
Keep calling for your 'revolooshun'. You'll all make an interesting footnote on the correlation between the decline of education and the rise of ignorant political zealotry in the textbooks of our grandkids! "

Barack's GOONS from ACORN and SEIU went around and threatened banks to give money to their organization just like Jessee Jackson did for his "RAINBOW COALITION" which is nothing but a pot of GOLD for JACKSON and ACORN at the end of that rainbow!!!
Acorn also promoted the bad loans to people who didn't even have the down payment for home loans that they walked away from when the real-estate market fell!!! I know personally one individual that was using these loans in New York to speculate on homes with government loans!!! "

You want to know what led to the loss of jobs and the melt down???
It's EASY!!! CONGRESS is to blame and not just this congress!!! It goes back years!!! Congress used to have policies in place to prevent MONOPOLIES!!! Over the years large-companies have been gobbling up small companies and becoming bigger and bigger with LESS competition!!! Oil companies,Communication companies,Insurance companies,Auto makers,Banks,and many more!!!
Congress FORCED banks to make home loans and business loans to people who could not afford these loans!!!
Hence the FAILURES in Banking and the TOO-BIG-TO-FAIL INDUSTRIES!!! Not enough space to explain!!! "

If you want to remember correctly, the Embassy bombings.the first attack on the twin towers, the attack on the Cole, all happened under the Clinton administration!!!
I know Bill had his hands full with Monica and all his other activities that were overwhelming him at that time, but if Clinton would have considered all the attacks against us as acts of war and made the COMMITMENT to treat this as a war 9/11 might have been avoided!!!!
Unfortunately we have another president that thinks this is not a WAR!!!!! He wants to be "POLITICALLY CORRECT" !!!! "

Outraged wrote on Nov 21, 2009 9:19 AM:

And I supposed the 9/11 attacks were plotted as soon as Bush was elected and carried out a few months later??? NO!!! They were being planned long before that and if Clinton would have accepted the offer by Sudan to arrest Bin Laden when he could have,9/11 would have never happened!!!
But Bill Clinton wouldn't arrest Bin Laden because it would have upset the Saudis!!! And Clinton would never receive all the MILLIONS from the Saudi King for his Presidential Library which is more important for Clinton's ego than a few thousand American lives!!! "

Nobody is saying Bush was bad, just not the great one you make him out to be. He too made some bad decisions. "

" Charlie,
No one expects Obama to turn the world around in 10 months...or 10,000 years for that matter. It's too screwed up. Having said that, a lot of us don't like it that he's making things much worse, real fast.
9/11 was successful because no previous President had done anything about the intermittant attacks that began in 1983. As a result, the terrorists continued to build up their power and had no fear of reprisals. Although Bush made many mistakes, he DID go after the crazies and could well have stopped another successful attack. "

Cajunator wrote on Nov 20, 2009 6:32 AM:

" Charlie, that's an interesting comparison. Didn't 911 happen only 8 months in to Bush's first term? So why aren't you blaming his predecessor for implementing the wall that kept agencies from sharing intelligence with each other, or for letting Osama bin Laden go when he was offered up on a silver platter? "

Charlie wrote on Nov 20, 2009 12:07 AM:

" After reading all of the blogs on this site, I find it very interesting how most of you expect the current president to turn the world around in 10 months. You gave the last president 8 years and what did he do? And don't give me that garbage about keeping you safe, 9/11 happened on his watch. "

There is SUCH a dichotomy between the mindset of "the Greatest Generation" compared to current society.

The brave men and women who continue to serve in the military are the hope of our future. They are the ones who will carry the torch of what made this country great. "

You are right about Afghanistan. It is a no win situation and always will be. If we leave, we'll be seen as weak, and the Taliban will resume power. If we stay, more of our soldiers will be killed until we do leave.

The whole Mideast situation is a mess, but to continue to do nothing is unconscionable and will ultimately make things worse as the radicals grow in power and nuclear capabilities. If they perceive that we will do nothing because of weak and uncertain leadership, we're in real trouble. "

" You claim the terrorists are emboldened by Obama's indecision. I could argue that the terrorists in Afghanistan are emboldened by our mere presence. After eight years, there is an element there that do not see us as trying to build democracy but as an occupying force. The British came and left. The Russians came and left. Afghanistan has always been a historically unstable country. Invading Afghanistan to root out Al Qaida was legitimate, but we needed to realize that it took over 200 years to mold democracy in the United States; it can't be done in anything less than decades.

Your post is unbelievable. What would aid the "mental capacity" (sic) of the soldiers would be to have the added reinforcements that the generals say they need. Also, it would help for them to know that the country they love and risk their lives for is not being flushed down the toilet by those in power.

What happened at Ft. Hood probably WILL happen outside of a base, partly because the terrorists are emboldened by the President's indecision. Obama is seen as weak by these people.

What's a "radial decision"? "

Because that is so true and because our enemies are not confined to a particular nation or defined geographic area, this is not a traditional war, but it IS a war, nonetheless. It's a war that we will lose if we do nothing. If you're not saying "wait until they hit us first," what are you saying? As for your weary friends, would they rather be dead? "

That was not our war. The U.S. had Osama Bin Laden it was Bush that called off the hit on Bin Laden. People were fighting to stay alive in New Orleans, Bush could've cared less about those people .

Take your time and UNTIL YOU, the Commander in Chief, are satisfied and have all of your questions answered do you send more Americans into harms way.
Too bad more forethought was not used before we went off into war that has gone on for 7 long years, taken the lives of 4000 of our own and the mission kept changing! "

" I thought you were giving up on this forum? Guess you still have rambling crud-stirring that you must vent. Obama is trying to measure out what is the objective of this war and asking for definitive answers so as to not put more brave soldiers in harms way. He's at least trying to ask questions instead of letting Halliburton make the calls. It's people like you who disgrace the deaths of brave soldiers, that have occurred in these senseless wars that BUSH started. "

" Outraged I agree with you on what you say about his inabiliity to make timely decisions on sending more troops, However, I do not recall him saying it is a war that we need to fight. Former president Bush said that. He was the one that started this whole war, after having lied about finding WMD. But Obama does in fact need to send troops and send them NOW. "

" He is waiting for his health care bill to get voted on first so he doesn't alienate his left.
The troops are secondary to his political agenda! They will have to wait and Hope that things will Change. You know it's what he promised "Hope and Change". "
