Obama Pushes France into Putin’s Arms
President Obama’s deliberately defeatist foreign policy has scored another major victory for Russia. He has pushed NATO member France and its weak socialist president into the arms of Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Russian foreign minister: Obama wants to spare ISIS so they can force Assad out in Syria
If we’re going to quote Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov - and we are - this is probably as good a time as any to remember that everyone who takes a shot at Barack Obama is not necessarily someone we should admire or trust. The Russians may be pleasing conservatives at the moment by showing Obama up, but they still have a geopolitical agenda that would prop up some of the worst characters on the face of the Earth for the sake of Russia’s own influence and power, and of Vladimir Putin’s personally.

Clothes-free Emperor.If you’re among those who think that the blanket acceptance of Syrian refugees might not be the brightest idea, congratulations, you’ve managed to “pop off” in such a way that you’ve upset President Obama.

This is not mere incompetence, but a carefully planned program of eradication: A plan to crush what he hates, the West, Christianity, Israel and America.As of late, there is a constant drone of political pundits, even from CNN, asking “Why is Obama doing this? Why is he saying that?” Even former President Carter, the weakest president of the twentieth century, has said “Obama is inept.” Does Obama live in his own little world? Is he truly inept or is there much more to this man that our miserable main-stream media didn’t tell us or bothered to find out?
