Obama never got asked questions like that, and his answers were always vague and unscrutinized. Your double standards are delusional.


LMFAO

Nobody asked Obama what he would do about tense international situations? Jesus Christ, are there some kinds of substances that you use that do this to your brain or what? :(

In earnest, please find me a quote that targets a specific event and a plan that doesn't include platitudes. I bet you can't

Off the top of my head, I remember Obama being asked before he was president if he'd be willing to go into Pakistan and risk pissing them off as a sovereign nation if it were necessary for the sake of catching bin Laden, f'rinstance.

So he gave a vague answer and then when the time came he listened to his military advisers...

"If we have actionable intelligence on al Qaeda operatives, including [Osama] bin Laden, and President Musharraf cannot act, then we should," Obama said. "That's just common sense."


He should have suggested meetings instead. :(

LMFAO, yes, Trump clearly meant "I will meet with my military advisers and listen to whatever they say" when asked how he was going to bring peace to two disparate groups, that's clearly what 'meetings' means in that context.

Jesus Christ, you'll just work as hard as possible to try to make up any bullshit rationalization to avoid seeing how fucking stupid Trump is, won't you? :(

Obama and Trump literally did the same thing.

They made a board statement to stay flexible and then made a decision as opportunity and information came together.


Obama is far from perfect with foreign policy too. If Obama didn't side with Al Qaeda in Syria in a pathetic attempt to topple his FORMER ALLY Assad, there would be a bunch less dead people in that area of the world right now.

"If we have actionable intelligence, we should act."

"Meetings."

Yeah, those are definitely equally vague. :lol: Jesus H. Christ, I can't even imagine what's going on in your mind.

That's obviously a big "LOL yeah no." What's hilarious is that Faux and the rest of the Republican bubble-verse tried so hard to create this narrative that Obama wasn't up to the challenge of being president, and he just proved them wrong again and again and again, making them look completely foolish. My favorite example of course was Bill Reilly's very direct challenge in the 2008 interview: "you're not going to sent ground troops into Pakistan" (to go after Bin Laden), only for literally that exact situation to occur.

It's priceless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AXzOjv_m9U
