It is sad that Obama, Clinton and Kerry have so messed up the Middle East with their “Arab Spring” that Vladimir Putin becomes the hero who brings order out of the chaos.
Putin, allies with Assad. His relations with Iran are improving. (Hey, you don’t see masses of people in the streets of Tehran shouting “Death to Putin! Death to Russia!”) Russia sees Syria as a strategic location. They have moved military to the Syrian border. Putin believes Obama’s fingers in the Middle East have left a vacuum that ISIS is filling. Putin is closely aligned with how many American conservatives view Obama’s bungling of it. More bungling on the next page.
From Putin’s UN speech:
Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”
A report at Jihad Watch answers:
No, they don’t realize what they have done, and they’re poised to do more of it. And those of us who warned at the time that the “Arab Spring” would not lead to “the triumph of democracy and progress,” but to “violence, poverty and social disaster,” were dismissed and derided as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” And no matter how often the establishment analysts get things wrong, and disastrously, and fatally so, they never get called to account, and keep applying the same failed solutions.

Bravo! Well said.
Two choices: Either the Obama regime, who encouraged what they named the “Arab Spring” knew exactly the fallout, and wanted to destabilize the Middle East. Or the Obama regime is delusional and really thought having “JV Team”, ISIS, fill the vacuum. That’s a good thing.
Whatever you think of Putin, he is right about Obama. No easy answers, but with pro-Arab apologists like Samantha Powers as Ambassador to the UN, a real confidante, who has the ear of the President, and was one of the architects of the Arab Spring, you can bet what happens next will be more of the same.
Perhaps after Putin is through eliminating ISIS over there, we can invite him here to take on the tens of thousands of Syrian Islamists that Obama is inviting in.
Gus Himmel the reason that George W bush had a triple increase in the deficit over Obama is because he had no plan for providing medical insurance 40 million uninsured Americans. There were less people paying into the plan than using it. Yes I do think people should take some responsibility in their lives, however I think we need to have socialized medicine so that people don’t lose their homes and everything that they have worked for and file bankruptcy due to a medical problem. I am all for people taking responsibility. Do you think it would be right if you lost your home and everything that you had worked for because you had a medical problem and bills that you couldn’t pay? Because that’s what has happened to it literally millions of Americans before the Affordable Care Act came along? And while we’re on the subject why do you think it isn’t right to make Americans responsible to pay for a portion of their health insurance since they use it? Actually my ex-husband has had excellent care through the VA at the Chalmers ambulatory Health Care Center, Chillicothe VA and the Dayton VA as well as the Cleveland VA. Now it’s not perfect but it is definitely a model to go by. There are many things about it that I’m very impressed with, much better than the care that we received when we were in the military. I think that we could do a really good service to everyone if we just modeled our health care plan after the VA’s that ARE working well in this country, with everybody paying a percentage of whatever they make to have the security of coverage in the event of a serious medical illness or accident. I’m just curious to know how much time you guys have spent volunteering at VA? For 2 years and 9 months, I spent about 4 days every week at the VA, with my hisband who was injured in Afghanistan, so I think I have a little bit of an idea of what I’m talking about. I strongly suggest that you make time to spend some time down there and not just wrap yourself in the flag as though you’re some kind of a patriot. What the Vets really need is people down there who actually care, not just people who flap their mouths on Facebook about stuff they really don’t know anything about personally.
Aruna Rukmal Abeygoonesekera, you’re wrong. We all lost on November 8, you’re just not smart enough to have figured it out yet.
So now we’re all Putin lovers??? He’s just as bad as Fidel Castro, and Assad in Syria. What he hell is happening??
Rebecca Speake premiums went high when Obamacare came. Some are paying from 8 to 10 thousand dollars each year. That is too much, with a large deductible. So, they just don’t go to the doctor. They go to bed, take aspirin for fever and wait to feel better. Of course, some are getting it free, because others are paying high premiums. Very sad.
Truth
He’s right
Good lord, Thanks Obama! I can’t, for the life of me, understand how any American can not see what your hidden agenda is all about! Complete idiots! I pray you do not have success in what you are trying to do to all humanity! Your either very stupid or very Evil!

Obama will be gone soon, god bless America .
Get em’ Putin!
