United Nations (CNN)President Barack Obama took to the most prominent international stage Tuesday to deliver a stark warning to American voters of the dire global consequences they face should they embrace isolationism and ultra-nationalism in November.

The way I look at it, if we do the opposite of what he would like us to we're heading back on the right track.  Especially come November 8th.  

[dreamaker]

I think he is right!! Where would we be if we don't have someone trying to blow us up and injure us. And on top, know one to share that cookie jar full of money, especially the ones that never contribute to it. People may think he is a total buffoon, but something just don't feel right, there has to be a hidden agenda.  To me! it seems he wants to take down this country and destroy our way of life in the US.

[baldo]

 To me! it seems he wants to take down this country and destroy our way of life in the US.

Yeah, that's it. That's exactly what he wants to do...

I thought this was a good video from back when, and based on today's happening and issues, what he says, seem kind of accurate.  Check this out, specially the end!

There are folks in the world that Imagine a one world government. You know the refrain, " I may be a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". Our president, and most progressives happen to subscribe to this utopian existence. Problem is, they can't have it as long as The United States of America is the predominant force in the world. Never mind that our brand of capitalism is responsible for more prosperity all around the world than any single country in history. That's not good enough for them.
the elitest left, who happen to think they know better than all the rest of us don't like it when the freedom lovers call bullshit on them. They call us nativists, racists, and warmongers. It took Great Britain too long to see the more centralized a government is the easier it is to become a tyranny. They finally have had enough of people that have different values than themselves, dictating to them.
Hopefully we follow their lead.
Besides, Barry is just upset because he sees his legacy disappearing 15 minutes after he gets his sorry ass kicked out of the Whitehouse.

He does want us to go the way of the failing European Union model.  

At a time when innocent human lives are being taken on the way to work, dancing in a club, walking down the boulevard, the exact opposite should be the response of our leaders.  We should be circling the wagons to protect our citizens that they wish to un-arm.

It would be interesting to see the reaction of the general American public if one of these attacks took put the white house or capital building.  How many would sit back and shrug.  
I would take it as a great time to start over with a true citizen legislature. The only way to pass term limits is to start with a brand new congress as the ones in power now sure a shell won't limit themselves.

[Serk]

IMHO he's auditioning for his next gig... He wants the Secretary General of the UN position me thinks...

Among his many 'accomplishments' is the exact opposite of Teddy Roosevelt's "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick"

Obama is "Speak Loudly and carry a small stick"   The 'small'' stick makes it easier to draw a series of lines in the sand.

I couldn't resist.  Of course Teddy meant a big Armed Forces.  Obama doesn't believe in that.

Yes, Baldo, he has really changed our country.............For The Worse!

We'll have to agree to disagree on that score, Wayne.

History will show Obama to be one of the best Presidents this country has had in modern times. And yes, I fully realize that 99% of the members of this forum will find this completely unacceptable. We'll just have to see what we will see, won't we?

Obama will go down in history as the WORST president to ever sit in the oval office.

Yeah I know you don't agree, but time will prove this to be correct.

Unless, Hillary wins and then she may earn that title.

Wow.  Myopic is the word for this point of view.

[John Schmidt]

Yes, one of the best presidents of our time. He's one of the best in causing over a 50% increase of black folk on food stamps, home ownership among them is down something like 20% below the nat'l. average. He's been the best at having the greatest increase in the black communities unemployed work force at roughly twice the nat'l. average of unemployment. The black household income is something like $20k under the nat'l. average. This is just one demographic, but it extends to the Latinos as well as the whites, just not quite as bad but still affected drastically. There's more statistics to be had on this loser's disastrous reign, but this should give a bit of food for thought.

Keep in mind, this has come about in the last nearly eight years this know-it-all has been in office. Yessiree.....he certainly has been the best. That's what you get when you hire someone with no experience and place them in a high profile position with the responsibility of running the business. The business gets run into the ground at the expense of everyone and the dipstick responsible gets to leave with a crap load of benefits. Pathetic(despicable is a close second) is the only term usable on this forum when referencing the current White House loser in residence and his whites hating wife. And to say history will recognize him as one the best in modern times? Not in my time, he isn't.

John,

I'm disappointed to see you taking this view. I don't know where you're getting your stats, but I'd be interested in seeing them.

Second,  I'm surprised to see you using language like loser in residence. And his whites-hating wife???

Did someone hack your account? You're better than this.

Actually denial of reality, but then to be a liberal (obama supporter) it is a requirement.

[Serk]

I don't know where you're getting your stats, but I'd be interested in seeing them.

(From 2009 - 2014) "The number of black food-stamp participants exploded across that time frame from 7,393,000 to 11,699,000, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports — up 58.2 percent."

Source - http://www.nationalreview.com/article/433222/black-americans-barack-obama-going-backwards-under-president-obama

I know you won't believe The National Review, they cite the US Department of Agriculture, I'd dig into their stats and get you a link directly but I gotta get back to work...

Interesting, Baldo makes a fantastic statement,then he's  surprised by John's reaction.   He even went so far as to chide John.  What crap!

Between John and me, our combined age of over 160 years, should account for something.  Even though elders are not held in the same esteem here in the US, we do have standing.

Now both of us, are either slow learners OR we have accumulated some knowledge and experience.

Speaking only for my self, i have lived under every president since FDR.  Summing up both Democrat and Republican presidents, my experience can say that Obama, a community organizer,  is the worst and most inexperienced president ever!  He had a dream to change the US to what he wanted it to be.  Bowing to foreign heads of state was only the start.  His measured and sonorous speeches, done deliberately to convey superiority, fool no one who looks at his upcoming legacy.  

As an 88 year old who served my country,  my opinion of him could not be lower.  He is a DISGRACE to the office of the Presidency of the United States of America.  Even Carter, in his incompetency, did not lower the standing of the United States in the world.  We now have a two bit country, Iran, raising hell with us  in spite of the ill conceived "ransom'  money and under the table deals the Obama administration made with them.

Clinton , the epitome of liars, could continue this same path, if she's elected.

+1 Wayne I for one applaud you and your service and try to learn from my elders. Some just can't see the light. Many policies now are against what this country was founded on. And some don't care that we have taken a turn for the worse.

That is what he is after. Soros pulling his strings for him again.

One of the best Presidents? Would have to believe he will go down as being worse than Jimmy Carter.

Why do you think that he wants Hillary to be the next president?

Because, she's the ONLY one that might be worse than him.

[f6john]

     One thing we, our children and their children will have to watch out for is history being re-written. Our current crop of politicians are trying to do that on live tv sometimes, telling us that what we just saw and heard is not what we saw and heard.


     In baldo's case, he is entitled to his opinion. I just can't see it unless I was being directly benefited by him being in office. Of course a lot of people owe their livelihood to the party in power and that has a strong effect on one's position. I will admit I wish I understood the inner workings of someones mind that sees the policies and actions of Obama or Hilliary as a positive for he country.

Wayne,

I've been nothing but respectful in my responses to both you and John. If you choose to take them in any other way, I'm afraid that's on you. I absolutely respect your longevity and experience, as I do with anyone I meet of your generation. That's the way I was raised.

Because we have different views, in fact polar opposites, doesn't mean we can't voice our opinions and beliefs. I know that you feel about yours as strongly as I believe in mine. That's the way it's always been with me. I respect yours, I would hope you'd do the same.

Sorry if this is disjointed, I just worked a long double, time for some sleep.

Bob

[Pappy!]

But, tell us how it is that you are able to overlook Clinton's life of lies and corruption?

[solo1]

Bob, enough was enough. I cannot speak for John but I  have seen much of the efforts of veterans to preserve this "Grand Republic" going for naught under this president.

I am on the ragged edge between attempting to be fair, but, at the same time, outraged, much like the feeling when I see MY Flag burned and disrespected . Yes, it is legal but ,never the less, a spit in the eye to all true Patriots.

People were burning flags back when I was just a kid. How is that on Obama ? It seems we in our society have come to a point where EVERYTHING bad that happens is the fault of the other side and EVERYTHING good that happens is do to our side. It's very sad indeed.

I am glad I misunderstood you in this case then. 
Humor me then Wayne. Name 5 things you like about Obama or that you think he has done right.
I will start by naming 5 things in regards to George W. Bush (who I disagree with almost entirely)
1) I think he is a very moral person who has always tried to do the right thing.
2) I like that he has not immersed himself in mud slinging politics after his terms.
3) I think he is a good Dad, husband, and son.
4) I think is not dumb as he seemed to appear sometimes with his twisting of words.
5) I think he had and has the best intentions for our country.

Hmmm.  I guess my list stops there.

Obama at UN warns Americans against walls and nationalism

Zero should be reminded he only has a few months left, and to STFU and go away and hopefully never be heard from again.  

He is 180* wrong on this issue, as he has been on every single issue of import during his presidency.

I'm always interested in any president's last few actions and especially criminal pardons as he is leaving office.  They save this stuff for the end so there is little notice or backlash.  

You'll notice no news on Bergdahl the deserter..... and no expected pardon can come before a conviction.
