Barack Obama: The Weakest President In History?
INEFFECTUAL, invisible, unable to honour pledges and now blamed for letting Gaddafi off the hook. Why Obama’s gone from ‘Yes we can’ to ‘Er, maybe we shouldn’t’...

It's a bold claim, any thoughts?

And don't let's forget that Obama's ineffectiveness was not just predictable but actually was predicted - by Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Melanie Philips, most prominently. And yet somehow no-one ever gives them any credit for it.
Strange world we live in.
Yes, passing judgement on him in advance of the end of his term in office is stupid especially since the history that we will judge him on hasn't happened yet.
Very strange indeed; there's always this hypocrisy from some quarters.
I say well done to him for waiting for the UN to make its decision. It's about time the UN started grasping the nettle with international issues rather than the procrastination that we've seen over the last 15-20 years.
I read this without reading who it was from and I thought "BB"!
I'm right! I'm right!
Do I get my $64,000, please?:)
I could so often say the same about many of your posts except i don't usually because it would be tedious, tired and predictable.
..and no you don't get your large sum of cash because it would then need to shared out among everyone else. Can't have such capitalist yearnings for money now can we.
Did you have a point about the subject itself to make?
Indeed. I do wonder though if being seen to be the opposite of the "shoot first, ask question....when we get around to it" approach of the previous administration means he be a little too cautious at time ?
What has Cameron done in less than a year? Quite a lot - abolished ID cards, started to roll back Labour's surveillance state, and is in the process of (rightly or wrongly) initiating budget cuts in the hopes of getting us out of our poor financial situation, and that is not an exhaustive list.
Meanwhile, Obama still hasn't closed Guantanamo Bay (despite promising to do so), and his healthcare bill is nothing more than a cop out for the insurance companies. Despite his party holding control of both the Congress and Senate, he/his party was unable to implement the original bill for fear of annoying a few Republicans.
Obama seems to be all about style but not substance. Yes we can? It seems not.
I see a lightweight, but it isn't Cameron.
No, but I didn't think you did either.
If he had taken action quicker then thousands of lives would have been saved.
I don't think that's the reason he didn't take action in Libya, I don't quite know what to think about Obama. He generally sticks to the typical left wing line in the USA. He isn't that radical, yet he rarely does anything and at this time in America, doing nothing isn't an option.
America, is the strongest nation in the world who are always going on about freedom of peoples rights so I guess we just expect them to be taking more of a leading role.
Except that I did and my post was about the irony of the British to criticise on this subject. Your post had nothing to do with the subject and was just written because you felt like trying to annoy me.
agreed, considering our recent cosy relationship with Gadaffi, for Cameron, to now be getting on his soap box dose smack of hypocracy.
The democrats don't control congress anymore, and they just barely control the senate.
Well, coming from a person who spends most of his time on Israeli threads purely attacking the posters rather than point at issue this is a bit rich!
And I wasn't trying to annoy - it was a lighthearted quip.
You want to loosen up a bit, old boy.
Shouldn't the Tory Tea Party be happy he's not turned out to be a raging leftie?:rolleyes:
If you're American, you're damned if you and damned if you don't.
Look what happened the last time the Americans supported a bunch of 'freedom fighters', in Afghanistan, on the basis of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend'...:o
They used to, for at least 2 years during the Obama era. You'd have thought they could get a bit more done without having to ask the Republicans for permission to sneeze.
According to some on the lunatic fringe of the Tea Party he is raging lefty Muslim who is constitutionally restricted from being President because he's not an American citizen
