That member of the Irish Parliament can go to hell. She's spouting anti-American BS that has nothing to do with Obama. You should be ashamed, Il Pad.

[il Padrino Ute]

I know what she said, but I intentionally cherry picked her shot at Obama. It was awesome.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend?

The Soviet Union were the enemies of the Nazis.

You need to check yourself. Your anti-O hatred has led you to side with an anti-American Irish lefty.

It's official. Il Pad has become a lunatic. He's high-fiving globalist lefties railing against low taxes just because they trashed his own president.

You guys need to stop projecting. It only makes you look silly.

Well, if you would show more disdain for Obama, I'd side with you more often. I apologize that I hurt your feelings.

You should work for Fox News. You have all the perquisite skills.

Why would I want to work someplace that might require me to work weekends?

The Obama comments aside, as an American I bristle whenever I hear our allies taking shots at us. I'm even more shaken when my secondary reaction is often "he/she has a point".

This was my reaction as well. She has a point...yikes.

I think she has a point too - but I think she loses it in the hyperbole.

I do have to ask myself - would there be more or less bloodshed if the US left Afghanistan? Iraq? Yes - I realize that the "war" there was started by the US. But I think people are putting their heads in the sand if they think there wouldn't be bloodshed without the "war".

And in all honesty - maybe there is more lives lost in Syria by supporting the opposition. But that is likely only because the opposition has the opportunity to fight back - causing lives to be lost on the other side.

All that aside - I do find it someone humorous that when it came to foreign policy Obama's greatest campaign position was that if the US would simply work with other countries rather than attempting to ramrod whatever it wants - much of the ire against the US would dissipate. At times he seemed rather insistent that the reason there were terrorist attacks at all - and the reason the US was hated by citizens of other countries - was due to meddling.

So - how is Obama doing on that front? Has he reduced meddling? Is he working with other countries and creating coalitions more than his predecessor? Is he considering outcomes that are beneficial to more than just the US and the interests of others? He certainly hasn't reduced drone attacks - which this particular woman would seem to point to as representative of his true attitude and beliefs.
