9. If President Obama
Fri May 25, 2018, 10:43 AM
May 2018

Can anyone imagine the Republican/Conservative outrage if President Obama had been this indecisive about any issue? Fox News would, at this moment, be claiming that this is what is wrong with the world; people do not know what President Obama is going to do. They would claim our allies cannot trust him and our enemies do not have to fear him. They would claim that even after being jerked around by a brutal dictator that imprisons and kills his own people and having a meeting canceled on him, President Obama and his fellow Harvard/Ivy League wimps are now begging this monster to meet with him. They would claim this is why our enemies are emboldened. This is why Iran wants to get nuclear weapons. This is why Al Queda and ISIS are running amok around the world.

I assume Fox News is now going to spin this as showing that Donald Trump is a great of a person and negotiator. I guess they will say that this shows Donald Trump, unlike Barack Obama, understand how to preserve and how he will not let the moment get away from him. How long before Fox News begins to claim President Obama could never have pulled off a play like this; walk away from the table and then let it be known he is willing to come back to the table? Then maybe they will say this all shows why Donald Trump is a billionaire businessman and Barack Obama is some guy who has lived off the government his entire life.
