sanctions on Russia...lol. Let me tell you what Putin thinks of our sanctions...The USA is weak. Its why he is doing what he is doing because he knows he can get away with it.
The recent immigration issue...OBAMA CAUSED by misusing a law about persecuted kids to further his political agenda....and kids died because of it. Nice job.
Demands accountability....I bet that made Putin shiver.
200 troops to Iraq....because we never should have left Iraq, and the proof is ISIS. Political agenda and more and more people die so Obama can play politics.
I won't even read the infrastructure thing....idiocy.
Rewards to his accomplices....gee, wonder why and who cares if he had a crush....time to BE president not play one on tv.
1. Perhaps this is true, but unless you have a plan to invade Russia or assassinate Putin (neither one being a good idea), you pretty much only can apply menial economic sanctions and show support with our European and Asian allies in response.
2. The immigration mess should've been fixed years ago. President Obama is right to try to give refuge to people escaping persecution and violence, granted they want to genuinely live peacefully in the USA. Maybe the GOP would be wise to hasten the granting of citizenship to Central American immigrants whom are mostly decent Christians, instead of droning on about guarding a land border that is impossible to guard.
3. Putin may not have shiverred, but he doesn't seem too happy with the fact Obama and Hillary are the only two Western Elites calling him out on his role in the MH17 mess.
4. US had to leave Iraq. You have to understand the Iraq government is a sovereign government as recognized by the US and most the nations. Obama actually offered to stay in force in Iraq. Iraq government turned down Obama's offer. Their fault, not ours. Therefore it is a good move by Obama to bolster our menial forces to guard our US assets in the region and guard the airports for international travel/trade.
5. Won't even read the infrastructure thing... yea that's the sad GOP party line on that issue. As a result next time a bridge collapses and accidents mount up because of our failing transportation network, we'll blame the GOP for letting that happen I suppose. At least Obama tried. Kind of ironic given the fact President Eisenhower is responsible for creating much of our significant infrastructure that his own Party nowadays refuses to maintain and repair it.
6. The custom of presenting the National Medal of Arts to notable Americans in media was started in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan. It is customary for the President of the United States to present such an award. As for Obama's boyhood crush on Linda Ronstadt, yes, pretty much meaningless, but hey, now you have some new political joke fodder.
