   Well Churchill actually did something in WW11. Who the heck cares who, what, or where he did thing, he gotter done! It seems bho sent the bust of Churchill back to GB when he got his worthless rear in the wh. He and mo insulted the Royal Family with worthless gifts and having no idea how to deal with foreign people. So, as I see it, Churchill was great, bho sucks!

   Pretty desperate when you have to dig back 70 years to justify you presidents behavior. In fact this is perhaps more damning than anything a conservative could say. But here would be my comeback: Nero fooled around less than Obama and where did that get Rome? Now let him figure how to defend Obama from Nero.

    MSNBC’s Martin Bashir comes to the rescue of President Obama

    And, why does the “leader” of the free world need cover? He is an adult with free agency, and can do whatever he pleases. In this case, it pleases him to go golfing, and to go on a “much needed vacation” in Rio de Janeiro. God knows he never gets any time away from the hard questions that plague him daily! (Hard Sarc intended.)

    To even suggest that the President needs someone “to have his back”, predisposes the notion that he is doing something he shouldn’t…or, in this case, NOT doing something he should, which in this case, proves that he really is ineffectual as a leader.

    I know about the ‘free love’ generation… I was there but could never get in with the ‘in crowd’ So I joined the service to prevent getting drafted. I was a boy scout in my younger years but never got too far away from ‘creature comforts’. Camping out with someone shooting at me wasn’t too appealing so I became a fighter acft mech for 23 years instead.

    I didn’t see too many jobs in civilian life that required camping out while people were shooting at me so I thought I made a good choice. Don’t get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for those who DID camp out with people shooting at them. It just wasn’t my preference.

    Churchill was not an “alcohol abuser.” He sometimes “amused himself by allowing people to think he had a bottomless capacity.” He most often drank a small amount of whiskey mixed with water — one glass would last many hours. The cigars were mostly just a prop that he liked to handle and chew.

    As for his painting, Wikipedia shows he did one painting during WWII:
    

    Due to obvious time constraints, Churchill attempted only one painting during the Second World War. He completed the painting from the tower of the Villa Taylor in Marrakesh.[209]

And in Libya no no fly zone was so vaugly and late written that operations there are already coming to a close, and its questionable we should even be in a civil war, these people are not civilians they grabed AK’s and are fighting the legal government. And US commanders assets are so thinly spread they have no idea how to do the operation.

    once more its another Balkins situation and we all should remember how well thats worked out. From no fly zone, to ground invasion, to “peace keepind” operation that goes on to this day. Obama is a fool, and an incompetant like Clinton.

    Before the Boer War, Churchill studied military and political history, then he lived it and wrote it.

    He was the leading horseman in his British regiment in India and fought in the Khyber Pass. Single shot rifles vs. his pistol. In one battle he was the only surviving officer. Where he wrote, my paraphrase: “There is nothing so exciting as to have been shot at without result.”

    In north Africa he rode on the last great British cavalry charge, sabers drawn, against the Mahdi army near Khartoum. (about then machine guns were invented and deployed)

    In the Boer war, then a member of the press, he was imprisoned with captured British troops, and escaped, quite heroically.

    In WW1, he led army troops at the front from the trenches.

    Cabinet Minister and department head often, and twice Prime Minister.

    He did things Obama has not even read of in places he doesn’t know, and led in ways Obama will not ever understand.

    Correct.

    1) Marxists view the U.S. as an “Empire”.

    2) Obama has stated that his mission, his journey, is shared by all who’ve ever sought to “bring an Empire to its knees”.

    walterc,

    I remember that day, 9/11/2001. I watched the horrific events that day, live on television, for hours on end, after the first and/or second aircraft struck the World Trade Center towers.

    To my recollection the Bush haters had it wrong, as did the leftist, Bush hating press.

    George W. Bush was not reading to the children that day. He was steated with the children, holding the same book that the children were using, following along as the children were reading the book, not George w. Bush.

    I hated hearing the likes of the viole, mean spirited, hate filled bigot and hate moger, Bill Maher and his offensive guests, as well as other nuts, push that story as “Bush was so scared he did not know what to do, he sat their with a look on his face like a deer in the head lights, and he continued to read the book to the children.”

    I know you aren’t one of them, based on the context and tone of y our message. You don’t present any animosity toward George W. Bush, and my comment is not intended as a criticism of you. I am merely stating that, as point of fact, it was the children who were reading to George W. Bush, or while President Bush listened, but George W. Bush was not actually the main reader, not reading to the children.

    Oh, you say he’s dead? He’s still as eligible as Obama.

    I’m not sold on Barry’s kicking nicotine and how can he be shunning alcohol when he makes his own beer?
    Bashir is a slobbering Obamaton with an English accent. Feckless too.

    Well the thing is that Churchill was actually smart, and a British patriot. Meaning he has no need of a fawning press corps ( pronounced ‘coor’) to try to sell these ideas every stinking day. Did he make some mistakes…..you betcha. But he was always pro-British and he learned from his mistakes. I say this being of Irish heritage and Churchill was not concerned much with Irish sensitivities, he was pro-British. He left a clear record of his intelligence, no secrets. Obama is a young guy, still relatively inexperienced, he may still achieve greatness, but his record so far does not lead one to have high expectations in that regard.
