Obama didn't care enough to show up at Paris rally. I guess he had more important stuff to do

    those quotes are quite old, gifford. Probably 10+ years old, in fact.

    I've evolved since then.

    I actually like France and Germany, and I've always respected both countries overall. Both have tilted too far liberal for my tastes, however.

    Yes -- I was wrong on the doping charges against Lance Armstrong, and certainly reject his cheating and also his lying. I'd suspect he wasn't the only doper out there, so he was the best of the dopers...lol

    FUAXtard hilarious.
    Nobody gives a crap, it's just FAUX trolling their low information viewers again.

    The man has real work to do, everyday, even around golf. And frankly I'm not sure walking arm in arm with Netanyahu is the image the White House wants. It would not be palliative to the Muslim world since he's irritating the issues with settlements and incursions.

    *yeah that's the easy way to trump FAUX, again. I pull that one with my wife sometimes. "oh yeah I should have (but didn't).

    How'd you like the White House's confirmation that I was right and they were wrong?

    What were you right about skippy?

    You've kind of twisted yourself into a pretzel here don't you think?

    Are you saying the President should have been marching with a bunch of ghay antiwar protesters in Paris FRANCE?

    Sorry to disagree with some of my Democratic brethen, but I do think that it was stupid not to at least send Biden to the Paris rally. It was a huge deal, particularly in Europe. We should have been showing solidarity with an important ally, standing shoulder to shoulder with the leaders of countries who stood by us for years in Afghanistan. It was a mistake. It's the sort of thing the Administration has done from time to time that mystifies me a little bit. An inexplicable decision. It isn't going to amount to a lot, but did we really need the egg on our collective faces? Getting to the nut of the current political embarrassment - it was bad politics.

    repped.

    courageous for Deckard to spurn his liberal pile-on crew in favor of siding with rational thought and logic.
