So what do [U]you[/U] suggest, what would President 30a Saluki do?:popcorn:

So what do you suggest, what would President 30a Saluki do?:popcorn:

This is what President Romney says he would have done.-.

[QUOTE]"There may have been some people surprised, but there have been many, many others that predicted Russia would try to grab other territories. This had been prepared for some time and we could have taken action earlier on. We would have had far more options to shape events to keep Russia from moving in -- for instance, working with our allies around the world to develop sanctions and communicate those to Russia very, very clearly."[/QUOTE]

Sanctions, how original.

Right now the US and the EU are working together to toughen the sanctions against Russia that are already in place. This is after President Barack Obama and other world leaders decided to end Russia's role in the group of leading industrialized nations. The move suspended Russia's membership in the G8 and was a direct response from major countries allied against Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Tell me again what president Romney would do differently.:popcorn:

After the disaster of Iraq it's a tough sell scolding other countries on the evils of invasion, Thank you Mr. Bush.

We would actually have to go back in time. To five years ago. One of our "leaders" first official acts was to go on a worldwide "apology" tour. Bowing to Arab leaders, promising that the US no longer wanted to be a world leader. Then fast forward to Syria, the infamous "red line', when his bluff was called, he did nothing. It is vividly apparent to Putin, and the rest of the world that Obama is a feckless, disingenuous, and quite frankly, disoriented president. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a hero. We now find ourselves at a juncture where our enemies do not respect, nor fear us, and our allies do not trust us, and i do not blame them. I hope we think long and hard before we elect a community agitator again.

We still haven't heard what president Saluki would do? Do you have a solution to the Syria or Ukraine problems?

Since your first claim that the President went on an "apology tour" has been debunked many times including a "pants on fire" lie rating when the liar of liars Romney kept repeating it, and the rest of your post is filled with talking points, I am forced to assume you have no original thoughts to share.

As of yesterday there were six million signed up for the ACA. That's six million more Americans with healthcare than the Republicans wanted.

Remember how upset Republicans got when Bush extended the May enrollment deadline for his prescription drug plan not by days, but until the end of December?

Yeah, me neither.

30a Saluki, do you really expect those who are Left Wing zealots without a lick of common sense or understanding how the world really functions, to pay attention to anything you have to say, even if it is spot on target?  It is an exercise in futility.  I feel sure those with a broader, more intelligent perspective will understand, however.

Putin knows that in the US the right wing nuts will idolize and worship him because they hate the President so much.   Their nipples get hard every time they see a picture of Putin.

Surprise! The king of Rightwing e-mails has spoken and said nothing.

Would you care to enlightment me, and the rest of the free world, as to how many "folks" were kicked off of their healthcare plans by OBAMCARE? I am actually enjoying the repercussions of this horrendous law, which will lead to the likes of Reid, Pelosi, getting their arses kicked in November.

Saluki: I'm still waiting to hear your grand solution to the situations in Syria and Ukraine. To use your own term, it seems kind of stupid to criticize someone without offering a better alternative.

The ACA set minimum standards all insurance plans must now meet. Those plans that failed to meet these standards were discontinued and the insured offered better plans. At the absololute worst the few who are now paying more are actually getting more. Every Obamacare horror story the Rightwing has put forth has been debunked. The shortage of "victims" has become so bad that now the Conservatives have resorted to using actors and general talking points in their attack ads. Many of the "victims" discovered that the plans they had weren't even considered insurance by the insurance companies! If it is such a horrendous law why is your side having so much trouble finding individuals who have been harmed by it? Hell, if you believe there are so many suffering I challenge you to provide a list of those who ended up paying more for less.

Saluki is not POTUS. He doesn't owe anyone a solution. That's Obama's job. I too lost respect for Obama when one of his first official acts as POTUS was to go on a worldwide "apology" tour. 

That being said, I voted for Obama because a family member has a pre-existing condition, so I wanted the Affordable Care Act (now we realize that it's the [U]Unaffordable[/U] Care Act) to become the law. Republicans might have repealed this law. Medical expenses for my family member would be ridiculous without this law. Ironically this family member chose student insurance because it was majorly less expensive. A lot of money will be saved until graduation. Then we'll deal with what to do next.
