August 7, 201412 yr Author Yes, it is racist, but that is their point. Making fun of him in this manner shows their lack of respect for him and they know they will suffer little for this. Okay. I misinterpreted your first post.
August 7, 201412 yr I think the disrespect may go beyond racism... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/7/russian-bombers-penetrated-us-airspace-least-16-ti/ Russian strategic nuclear bombers conducted at least 16 incursions into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones over the past 10 days, an unusually sharp increase in aerial penetrations, according to U.S. defense officials.
August 7, 201412 yr You'd have to tell me. I don't know what images there are that are racially insulting to white people. I guess portraying some one as Hitler maybe or some other Aryan type comparison. Most other times people are just personally insulted when a physical or personal trait is exploited. I'm sure there are other things that would be racially insulting to white people.
August 7, 201412 yr Yes, it is racist, but that is their point. Making fun of him in this manner shows their lack of respect for him and they know they will suffer little for this.Exactly. In foreign policy, it is much better to be respected than liked. Ex-KGB agents cannot be expected not to exploit perceived weaknesses. Obama is a thin-skinned tyrant and Putin knows how to push his buttons. Putin is also a tyrant but he could not care less what Obama thinks of him, as long as he keeps rolling along toward his goals. Offending Obama is way down the list of Putin's transgressions. Hopefully, Obama will not start deploying troops to show that he is a tough guy too. That ship has already sailed.

Huh uh huh, he said penetrations! Sorry couldn't stop myself!

I've heard and seen Obama compared to Hitler more than any other president. #doublewhammy
August 7, 201412 yr You'd have to tell me. I don't know what images there are that are racially insulting to white people. A white man with a little short... ...never mind.
August 8, 201412 yr Funny. I've heard and seen Obama compared to Hitler more than any other president. #doublewhammy Remember Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote about Hitler: “Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.” That nullifies the comparisons.

August 8, 201412 yr Just goes to show how weak Obama is when it comes to His foreign policy. He has become a joke around the world. It's very racist and sickening and I wish there was something that could be done.
August 8, 201412 yr I'm not trying to say that that's anywhere near okay, but how many decades have we been lampooning Russians here in the US? ..and in very very mainstream ways?

August 8, 201412 yr Exactly. In foreign policy, it is much better to be respected than liked. Ex-KGB agents cannot be expected not to exploit perceived weaknesses. Obama is a thin-skinned tyrant and Putin knows how to push his buttons. Putin is also a tyrant but he could not care less what Obama thinks of him, as long as he keeps rolling along toward his goals.

So, it would have been better if he had flexed US muscle when, 2 years ago?
August 8, 201412 yr So, it would have been better if he had flexed US muscle when, 2 years ago?It would have been better to have provided air support for the Iraqi government 6 months ago, when ISIS began slaughtering non-Sunnis, conquering cities that thousands of American troops shed blood liberating, as it began its bloody march through Iraq. Now, after ISIS has filled a large war chest and acquired advanced anti-aircraft missiles, Obama has decided to take a stand by placing the lives of American pilots at a much greater risk than they would have faced had he provided timely support to the Iraqi government. Why now? Do you think the timing of Obama's decision is unrelated to Putin making him look like a fool, his plunging job approval numbers, or the approaching mid-term elections? What kind of impact do you think the otherwise imminent genocide of tens of thousands of Christians in Iraq would have on Democrats' election prospects had Obama continued to pursue the impotent, naive foreign policy initiatives that have made him a laughingstock around the world?
August 8, 201412 yr So, it would have been better if he had flexed US muscle when, 2 years ago? From his very first day as President. "Speak softly but carry a big stick."
