Russian Brew ha-ha

Well if you didn’t laugh you would cry. I’m now getting to see why Obama has been so disengaged in the role of the Presidency. It’s because when he tries to do anything he is so ineffective

• Syria Tyranny

In his self-congratulatory final press conference the only scintilla of doubt was with regard to Syria - not that I’m expecting him to pony up by having a couple of Moslem refugees in-house, at least whilst his nubile daughters are still around

That small tear in his armoury was ripped open when Russian-backed Syrian Government forces retook Aleppo and have subsequently agreed a cease-fire.

Got it now, Gary

it’s hard to resist watching the single instance in which a political career is destroyed. I’m guessing he thought Aleppo was an Italian leper

Who is holding more sway in the Middle East now, Barrack? Well, at least now hostilities are ended, he can go back and pick up that red line he left lying about in the sand

• Obama the Abstainer

He then compounded his error by upsetting our closest ally in that region , Israel.
Now I know Net’n’Yahoo (who obviously missed a trick by not trademarking his name in the early days of the Internet) is a complete tool but not to veto yet one more of these tiresome UN Security Council, anti-Semite resolutions is plain appalling.
Of course, he neither went himself to commit this historical blunder nor got his representative to actually raise a hand one way or another. When it came to her turn to vote Samatha Power just sat on her hands - figuratively I should hasten to add; there is no suggestion of a masturbation-abstention

• Handbag at Dawn

In a final attempt to inflict some pain on Putin (who has been completely immune to it so far) and yet again trying to absolve himself from any blame in the Clinton catastrophe he came through with his little stick and chucked a few Russkies out of the country for apparantly (no proof forthcoming, of course) influencing the Presidential election.
Anticipating a tit-for-tat and leaving me with another fine mess to clear up, he must have had quite a shock to the system when Putin failed to play along and, indeed, invited US representatives in Moscow to a New Year’s knees up.

When we go low, they go high.

Michelle Obama

Couldn’t have put it better, darling
