Dithering?

KABUL (AP) - Helicopter crashes killed 14 Americans on Monday—11 troops and three drug agents—in the deadliest day for the U.S. mission in Afghanistan in more than four years. The deaths came as President Barack Obama prepared to meet his national security team for a sixth full-scale conference on the future of the troubled war.










For weeks, President Obama has been indecisively dithering about whether to send more troops to Afghanistan to fight what he correctly calls a "war of necessity." General Stanley A. McChrystal’s report, in which he requests more troops, was issued at the end of August .The Commander in Chief, taking political heat for not having enough women in his inner circle, found golf a more important political expediency than finally making the Afghan decision. - OnlineNews.com

He's having fun, which is the story of his life.

There's more to this evasion than simple fecklessness. Even a feckless man can be made to act by someone close. It's worse than that.

He's unable to make decisions, he's weak and he's in charge and he doesn't want responsibilty.

That's a beautiful photo essay. Truly, pics are worth a thousand words.

Golfed three times more than Pres. Bush already ... deficit four times higher than Bush's in 9 months. It's Bush's fault, don't you know?

Rhod, I believe that there is a meanness wrapped within the fecklessness and sparsity of leadership skills.

All I can say is OY!

Right, did you really just say Oye (lawyers pronounce it, Oh-yay)? I think I am losing control here. No, wait ... that assumes I had ... never mind.

Since you are a woman blogger, and btw, if that is your picture for real, I expect pictures of you and Goomba up on the internets ricky-tick ...

Oy! DC, you act as if you weren't invited. Trans-Texas Airways has 4 flights daily between Houston and Fresno.

We saved a seat for you until the Ron Paul people started complaining.

While President O's been golfing, campaigning, playing with hula hoops, and watching First Dog Bo feast on a birthday cake made of veal, 20 soldiers have died in Afghanistan. He's got a Ph.D in dithering.

This freaking coward has the audacity to golf while dithering on making a decision on whether to send more troops into Afghanistan. He is the epitome of a selfish reckless SOB.

You cannot expect any other behavior from a man who does not value human life.

Nick, say the "O" word (Oye not Obama) again and I will slap my computer screen.

Writer X, I'm having difficulty getting past a birthday cake made of veal.

Terri, he sure doesn't act like a wartime President. He's more like a frat boy. (No offense, DC)

Arby, that may well be the bottom line. He's a pure Marxist.

DC... Don't do it, my faithful Indian companion. One more slap on that old Commodore and the duct tape will no longer be able to hold the transistors in place.

I'm glad to see that Obongo is dithering while displaying his unmanly chicken legs in a golf cart with his saddle shoes. He looks like a big retarded doofus playing bumper cars fer crying out loud.

I wanna drive! Lemme drive! I'm a big boy! Lemme drive!

I wish his mama were around to slap the piss out of him and shut him the hell up.

OK, I'm holding my breath...I have 2 very good friends in AF now, one in DEA...and I haven't heard from either of them in a few days....

Nick,

It's supremely astounding that this sorry excuse for a chief executive could pack so little in the way of accomplishments into the first ten months of his presidency. I mean, one has to studiously work at accomplishing absolutely zip -- with the exception of bending the American economy over and slipping it to the reputation of this country. But, I guess when you spend most of your time cavorting around to campaign fundraisers (he's outdone Bush, 22 to six in his first year) and now they got him racking up more trips to the links that Bush did during his entire two terms, and you have to wine and dine the FLOTUS as well as make all those foreign speeches apologizing to the world, it leaves little time for regular duties.

I can't help but thinking that he would tie Carter as the worst POTUS, but he is amazing! He has claimed the title in less than one year.

Did I mention that he is also pathetic?

Amusing Bunni said...

Nickie, like everyone here I think this Potus is a POS. Just looking at him playing around while our brave troops die, and he's more concerned with his golf game makes me want to puke. He is a disgrace.

DC, his name is Voyska PVO. A buddy of mine. We met IRL for lunch with LL (true story, see Voyska's blog) a matter of days ago.

I can't get past the veal cake either.

Each picture is worth one thousand words. Words I cannot use without (un)due negativity.

Opie, I thought you said his name was IRL. Then you called him Vodka. I know about VodkaPundit. You been drinkin'?

Arnie is in there trying to make points. He doesn't want to be 86ed by Obama's Death Panel.

Perfect, Woody.

The last photo is the Court and Courtiers figuratively kissing the ass of their monarch, who is engaged in some pointless activity.

Some things never change.
