Ace:
This Administration is not interested in actual foreign policy crises and is doing little about them at all except posturing for domestic political purposes.
The only part of a foreign policy crisis that draws their attention is how it might play in the domestic press.
And hence, we go from the #PowerOfHashtag to straight-up MSNBC/Jon Stewart agitations against Fox.

Leftists have long claimed that there are no external enemies. They don’t like America generally, but they especially hate America when she goes to war.
Leftists think this makes them peaceable. In fact it does not. It frequently makes them de facto collaborators with foreign evils.
But even worse than that, it makes them attack fellow citizens with the vehemence that really should be directed at, say, the inconvenient Islamic State that just slaughtered two American men like pigs.
Because their need to hate and demonize does not go away simply because they’ve declared that there is no such thing as an external enemy.
Rather, their need to hate and demonize is simply diverted towardsinternal enemies, a.k.a., other Americans.
Jen Psaki comes off as a complete fool whenever I hear her speak. Marie Harf is no better. Spokesperson must be a job that needs no experience at anything.
They can not win in a fight with Bill. Between the two of them, they do not have enough brain cells. Maybe they should fight with Greg and This One!
These people Marie Harf – cnn – mslsd – and the like are unbelievably scary people. They live in an illusion ‘they’ created…
Yet another liberal illusion…
They certainly are Delusional – reason why they are not up in arms when Obama says he hasn’t got a strategy – even more scary…
Jen Psaki is the one responsible for hash tag diplomacy. Both she and Marie Harf were dedicated Obama campaign workers who have been rewarded with jobs they are not qualified for.
@retire05: Who in this administration was qualified for the jobs they were given?
@Randy:
No one. Look at who Obama has surrounded himself with. Lackeys, traitors to our nation, campaign groupies. All of them thinking that they are so much smarter than the man in the street who pays the taxes that pay their salaries.
Instead of ignoring O’Reilly’s comments, Harf acted like the outraged college chippy that got upset because she got caught sleeping with the entire football team.
But Obama’s narcissism dictates that he surround himself with those he deems his intellectual inferiors. In the case of Kerry, Harf and Psaki, Hagel and Jeh Johnson, he succeeded. I don’t think Holder is stupid, just crooked. He was a Clinton left over and hey, he’s black, he’s racist against whites, he’s willing to break the law, so he was a perfect candidate.
@ Randy:
That’s right, Randy.
It’s like Retire05 says.
There are NO Democrats worth a crap.
They are all incompetent traitors.
Doesn’t it make you feel a bit stupid that YOUR “Grand Old Party” stumbles over itself as often as it does when its only competition for votes is a party filled with such corrupt scum?
Why do Republicans lose so many elections?
Is it simply because too many people are allowed to vote?
Shouldn’t that privilege be restricted to Southern white males?
Maybe evangelicals?
If you Republicans are so much better than Democrats, why can’t you do a better job when you DO get the chance?
Why do Republicans start wars that they cannot stay in office long enough to finish?
Isn’t it easier to stay OUT of national office and just throw stones from the sidelines?
Keep up the good work.

Only if you’re foolish enough to fall for the “Dem vs Rino” drama.
Again, there is no difference between the Republicans and the Dems. Both belong to the same NWO global elitist party of one. This, and our corrupt voting system, is part of why many people don’t bother to vote (a corrupt USSC is another reason). These, and other issues, have made politics little more than a pacifier for those who are unable and/or unwilling to realize what really going on in this country. Add public assistance to the mix and you have the classic “bread and circus” government tactic of civilian diversion and appeasement.
@FMB42#8:
What a pretty picture you paint.
Since you evidently have no confidence that the electorate (the public) has the capacity to govern itself, and you have no confidence in the two-political-party system that we have survived well enough with for the better part of our country’s history, what possible scheme of governance are you proposing to replace what we currently have?
Are you suggesting that we install a dictator? A monarch, maybe? Perhaps Ted Cruz?
What possible alternative to our present form of government will give us a better chance to win the crazy race from here to the future?
As I’ve pointed out before, it is so easy to point fingers and assign blame when you don’t hold office and you have no real power to effect the changes that you THINK are needed.
With extraordinarily few exceptions, election winners fill openings in their administration with their political “friends,” not with the best people for the “job.” That’s how those elected officials become “surrounded by their cronies.” It will always be thus, no matter what name the party in power goes by. That’s why they call it a “party.”
The “same, global elitist party of one?”
“(Nobody realizes) what’s going on in this country?”
““bread and circus” government tactic of civilian diversion and appeasement.”
REALLY!?!
Are you INTENTIONALLY marginalizing yourself by spouting hyperbolic rhetoric like that, as if the WHOLE world is insane and you are the ONLY person who gets the joke?
REALLY!?!
(Why am I even responding to this whack-job???)
@George Wells: Name one staff member of Obama’s who had experience in the job he/she was given besides attorney general.
@Randy #5 AND #10:
Why are you asking me this?
“Who in this administration was qualified for the jobs they were given? (#5) and #10:
“Name one staff member of Obama’s who had experience in the job he/she was given besides attorney general.”
You have asked essentially the same question twice, as if asking this question repeatedly disproves something said by me or someone else. Since I haven’t made any statements regarding the qualifications of Obama’s staff or cabinet, I cannot imagine what point you are trying to make. Does it relate to anything here?
In scrolling down through this thread, I don’t see that you are actually engaging in the discussion. You aren’t answering anyone’s questions, agreeing OR disagreeing with anyone’s position or offering anything constructive. You are camouflaged in intellectual anonymity, taking sniper-like pot-shots at innocent bystanders, asking questions no more illuminating than “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
If you have a relevant point to contribute, make it.
