Josh Earnest Slams John Boehner over Obama's Foreign Policy

a reply to: vethumanbeing

How does America feel about Isreal? The swath ISIS has cut across the Middle East, Iran playing both sides of the fence...it's difficult to understand it all.

Obama's policies ripple across the entire world. He sees only his pen and phone power.

Boehner is culpable for his actions. Obama is responsible for his. Comparatively, the danger is squarely on Obama.

Boehner got the message, the newly elected Republicans only needed 34 votes to unseat him as Majority Leader; not enough as only 21 voted against. Problem was they did not have a legitimate replacement; Boehner stays and now knows he has to change his cowtowing diatribe (begging bowl offered to democrats alms please) to represent [the younger more vibrant in touch] Republican representatives just voted into office, what a surprise.

Isis is the distraction (perceived threat). It is going to run out of money unless funded by ??? Yet is causing enough chaos to potentially (by DEFAULT) start a world war between the Arabs and Persians. America is and always has been pro-Isreal. That geographic area is known anciently as Canaan. Those known as Jewish now (by faith) were originally Canaanites, that is their home dating from roughly 1100-900 BCE and were 'city states' that failed (the 12 tribes) came from this region and have every right and reason to now occupy that land (except the west bank, the mountain region; belonged ancestrally to the Palestinians). Obama is playing the middle east in the worst way, and if I were Iran's top ministers wouldn't participate in any negotiation out of principle or lie as to their intentions.

Pen placing bets on who wins the NCAA basketball championship. Kentucky or Wisconsin? Did Michelle actually destroy the White House Rose Garden that has been tended for two hundred years to honor past presidents just to plant a 'vegetable green garden' to feed dignitaries "FRESH organic tomatoes". Someone tell me I am wrong. John F. Kennedy's rose was a white one.

It's easy to be critical when you don't have the burden of the Presidency on your shoulders.

All Republicans know how to do is criticize, but NONE of them ever come up with solutions of their own to ANY problem.

Gosh and during the Bush Presidency, the same could have been said of Democrats. It's a very easy charge to make, but right now, what the Reps would or wouldn't do on foreign policy doesn't matter or is simply cause for media and White House vapors because it undermines the all-mighty President.

Republicans can't do much of anything as long as Democrats have some Senate power left and Obama vetoes everything anyway.

It kinda does seeing as Obama will be out in 2016 and its nice to know if the republicans if they get in will go bomb crazy and drag us(US+Allies) all into war like Bush did.
