    Again, philosophy with no practical application.

    Don’t have a specific strategy for a specific problem so rather than cobbling one together some forethought will be involved.Personally I like that approach better than going to war with the military you have rather than the one you’d like to have.

    Nero played a stringed instrument known as the Cithara in the lyre family.

    Let’s be honest folks; No matter WHAT Obama does, you are gonna diss him. He doesn’t go in – he’s a coward or blah blah blah; He does go in – he’s getting “us” back into another war blah blah blah. Aren’t you getting just a little tired of your hypocrisies? Everybody else is!

    ISIS doesn’t have a strategy either…

    BTW, Nero never started the fire.

    Because “Nero lyred while Rome burned” sounds silly.

    Better to think carefully about a strategy involving American loves than to go charging in wearing a flight suit and declaring Mission Accomplituded. (heh, heh, heh)."

    Now, watch this drive…

    “It must really ‘burn’ libs when one of their own does a toon like this.”No, I roll my eyes and wonder what the Republican strategy is for dealing with the issue. If they had one they’d be talking about it instead of just bitching about Obama.

    No matter how badly the Bush administration screwed things up, and lit this fire, and many others, in the process, Republicans will not blame “he who cannot be blamed”. (Actually ’they", it was a real team of morons, and political hacks.)

    ‘You are going to be the proud owner of 25 million people,’ he told the president. ‘You will own all their hopes, aspirations, and problems. You’ll own it all.’ – Colin Powell to George W Bush (Powell, that is, who went before the UN and passed along the administrations lies about WMDs, sealing the deal)

    I know you have made up your mind that Obamacare is a failure. II know some actual people who have been effected by Obamacare. There’s my cousin. She had a rough time getting a job because she’s diabetic and potential employers didn’t want to deal with the insurance issues involved. Now she has her own insurance and is working. Then there’s my niece, who can stay on her parent’s plan until she’s 26. Until Obamacare, she didn’t have insurance. Personally, Obamacare is closing the donut hole on my Medicare, which means it will pay for a lot of medication that would have been my problem before Obamacare. And, there’s my brother who was staying on a job he only needed for the insurance because his wife has chronic respiratory problems and if she had gotten really bad it would have wiped out their savings. Now he has Obamacare and he’s retired. Another person who has benefited is the lady who took the job he no longer needed. I don’t personally know of anyone who has had a genuine problem with Obamacare, and those who are featured on TV so far have turned out to either being lying or too stupid to actually check out how it works. So, if you folks who are screaming about how bad Obamacare is have some actual cases of people who have been harmed and offset all of these benefits, put up or shut up.

    “And JESSE, why don’t you roll your eyes and wonder what liberal Stevie Benson’s strategy is? He’s the one who penned to toon.”1) It’s Jase with an “A” and one “S”.2) Yes, I rolled my eyes at Benson’s cartoon as well.

    “OK, JASE… If solidly liberal toonists like Benson are starting to criticize Obama, but you don’t, maybe the problem lies with you and not with them.”What are you talking about? I didn’t even vote for the man in either election? I think most people voted for him because of the “lessor than two evils” mentality and didn’t want to vote 3rd party. I’ve stated that I think he’s a political wimp, and criticized his “evolution” on gay marriage as little more than seeing the political winds change. That said, anyone who criticizes Obama for not knowing what to do in an impossible situation like the one in Iraq needs to put up or shut up.
