How Many Advisors Does It Take To Teach Obama About Foreign Policy?
The correct answer would be 300.
None seem to do a damn bit of good.
As MM points out:
To quote from one of the Obama camp’s favorite foreign policy texts, “Pooh’s Little Instruction Book:” “Those who are clever, who have a brain, never understand anything.”
Barack Obama has 300 advisors on foreign policy. What?? That includes the Winnie-the-Pooh fellow and 299 other “experts” who, we are led to believe, didn’t catch Obama’s “syntax” error on “undivided Jerusalem.” Did not one of the 300 know about the history of presidential summitry?
And none of them thought it might have saved a heap of trouble for Obama if once during his primary campaign he had a briefing with General Petraeus or trip to Iraq?
What I don’t understand is what Obama’s campaign thinks this mini-State Department can tell him that he doesn’t already know. On Good Morning America last year, Obama explained how his foreign policy experience was superior to his rivals because he studied abroad and “majored in international relations”:
MS. ROBERTS: As you know, Iraq is such a concern with the American public. And, you’re calling for a slight withdrawal of troops. And, I need to ask you this: are you concerned that your lack of experience when it comes to foreign policy may hurt your chances in the run for the White House?
SEN. OBAMA: Well, actually, my experience in foreign policy is probably more diverse than most others in the field. I mean, I’m somebody who has actually lived overseas, somebody who has studied overseas. You know, I majored in international relations.

Because Obama is unteachable and unreachable! He is such an idiot and his friends are impossible to deal with. BO & MO are the dumbest fools in America. It will catch up with them, sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. I’ve just gotten back from Florida and I see the same ’soap drama’ with those dumb ass women on the view is still in play:
(a broken record) How boring!!! Those silly women are too emotional, plus getting nothing accomplished, just like the Obama campaign and the Dems. How much more can the American people take of this crap? Jesse Jackson seems to feel the same way – that was hysterical this week I must say. Then to hear Jackson back peddle – what a crock! He knew the mike was on, let’s get real, folks!!
Has it not dawned on everyone by now, that with BO it’s a form of insanity to try to make him into Presidential Material! Never in a million years will this work for America. Not because he is black ? he not just black he’s only half black – and Lord only knows what else??

“SEN. OBAMA: Well, actually, my experience in foreign policy is probably more diverse than most others in the field. I mean, I’m somebody who has actually lived overseas, somebody who has studied overseas. You know, I majored in international relations.”
Sheesh, how arrogant can this boob be? I’m sure many people have lived overseas, studied there and majored in international relations. Y’know, my college offers an opportunity to study in Belize. If I take it up, does that mean I will end up knowing more than most of our elected representitives?
Of course, I’m sure Obama will have a different attitude about experience when the topic of McCain’s military service comes up.

300 people. Thats just amazing. Makes you wonder if he is elected (ouch, it hurts to say it) who will really be making the decisions.
NObama is just a puppet. A talking points, no brain idiot with muslim leanings.

BonBon, When you surround yourself with corrupt characters and fools, you draw quite a crowd when there’s loot to steal.

PCD – yea#4 – when you are a liar like Obama – Liars steal, kill and destroy what ever they touch. It’s their evil nature, certainly not God Like NATURE. Liberals are Godless like Ann Coulter says and I agree Bon Bon – Muslim Leanings & Dirty Deal politics all the way with the Obama Campaign, which is turning into a PAIN.

Without his advisors, polls, speechwriters, and a teleprompter, Obama is a lost soul, a child in an adult game. He knows almost nothing except how to be a “community organizer” (meaning shit disturber).
But it’s change, change, change we can believe in!!!

Your meaning of ‘community organizer’ is priceless!
Love it!

I really believe Obama’s only advisor is MO – did love the cartoon picture of NEW YORKER MAGAZINE front cover. Got it at the airport this week on my return from FL – my souvenir. Figured it would bring lots of dough on e-bay some day when every one realizes the truth, just ‘Hope’ it won’t be too late.
Robert that is ‘the change’ we can believe in. How funny!
Or is it? I will have to commend the artist drawing of those two birds!
