There's a new political ad going around trying to bring people's attention to the amateurish foreign policy of the current administration, and nothing demonstrates that as well as their statements concerning Russia.

Former President George W. Bush was a bit naive in his dealings with Russia because he thought he found a like soul in Putin, for some reason. Many of his political enemies rightly chided him for this view.........so where are they now that Obama through his lackey, the buffoonish Joe Biden, has indicated that we have nothing to fear in the future from the great nation of Russia?

Is this ignorance or complacency?......blindness or complicity?

Somethings rotten here, is what I know.

Yeah, we'd have been better off with Rick Perry or Herman Cain. You backed each of them until they imploded, didn't you Richie? Who's your fave now, Santorum? Geez, that guy would have the country back in the Dark Ages.

You know what? With all his faults, and in my opinion he doesn't have many in the foreign policy area, I'll take Barack Obama hands down against anyone who has toddled down the GOP yellow brick road.

Richie: How did you respond to such comments made towards President Bush 'back in the day'?

Losing it!!!

Been watching Fair Game on DVD. Talk about incompetence and stupidity with respect to foreign policy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_(2010_film)

Fortunately, it looks like some of the more troubling points in the movie are fiction.

VK.....I am not that smart, not as good with words as you, do not have your financial experience, etc, etc, but I predicted this moment was going to come months ago where you would say this..."I'll take Barack Obama hands down against anyone who has toddled down the GOP yellow brick road."

Great way you address the topic. Ignore Biden's amateurish take on Russia and attack me with ridicule. This is getting to be a standard thing for you now.

Rick Perry, Herman Cain or Rick Santorum still would not be President, so the damage being caused by Obama and Biden would not have been alleviated at this point by any of them. I thought you smart enough to at least know that. You have no way of knowing how they would deal with Russia, but I have to think it would have to be better that the current administration's, as their posture is quite imbecilic.

You are free to have your opinion about the Obama Administration which you ebulliently praise and defend at every turn, although you always say you are not going to vote for them so we don't call you on you "never vote for any incumbent mantra. That's fine with me. I just don't know why you feel compelled to address and challenge me personally when you do.

If you read my post you wouldn't ask me this question.

Plame affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't want to appear confrontational, but how is this fictionalized puff piece relevant?

To those of you who come on here and defend this Presidents actions blindly and very predictably....under any and all circumstances....WHY ?

Has has lied to you, already validated and forgotten by you....he continues to want to spend spend spend which you say has to stop but you ignore it....he obviously does not care about making the hard decisions relative to our deficit, which you say is a problem, yet you ingore that...he continues, whether on purpose or not, preach class and race warfare and does it almost daily, something you decry, but you ignore that..this is factual without mentioning opinions which abound on his total lack of knowledge in foreign affairs which is framed by comments from world leaders, and you ignore it...you condemn career politicians....yet this WH is without any doubt the single most political WH in decades and the VP is about the most consumate total politician that has been in Washington, and you ignore it.

There is so much more but you folks are for so much this president is NOT and yet you ignore it.

So, it seems that every liberal who's responded to this thread cannot dispute how amateurish our current administration is in reference to Russia and so has taken to confronting me personally with topic diversion, and in one case, with ridicule.

A little tutorial in the "liberal response".

Foreign policy and the image of it in various presidential administrations. Bush's leaved a great deal to be desired even without the political fiasco which was the Plame affair.

This is an interesting article. It is just a teaser though as you need to find a copy of this Foreign Affairs issue to actually read the rest of it. http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articl...grand-strategy

The Foreign Affairs article is about President Obama's lack of a grand strategy in foreign affairs but...

"Grand strategies are not nearly as important as grand strategists like to think, because countries tend to be judged by their actions, not their words. What really matters for great powers is power -- national economic and military strength -- and that speaks loudly and clearly by itself." From the above link.

And about the GOP candidates' foreign policy-- http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articl...foreign-policy
