Is there a Foreign Policy assessment forthcoming to compliment your Domestic Issue salutes???

GG,....I can't respond...i don't want to get stuck in the beloved "sin bin" 

Very surprised anyone else is awake at this hour...

Thought it was just insomniacs like me out of ambien bullets.

Slim: Plowing, planting, fertilizing, weeding and nurturing are not important, just be the guy that is around for harvesting. Any farmer can tell you that, lol. 

That's interesting KEY,,,Yes,in the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again..

Just the other day we were given similar advice from President Chauncey Gardiner who was addressing the Economic Club of Chicago.

“We have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly,” (comparing it to 1930's Germany and Adolph)..

Thanks Chauncey...but all's well in the garden..

taking credit for trumps early work? saying it was barry soetorros last work? no

During a speech at the  North American Climate Summit in Chicago last week ....President Chauncey Gardiner claimed that the American economy’s success comes down to environmental policies put in place during the Obama administration.



"We saw the longest streak of job creation in American history by far,” Obama said ( this is not true ..an out and out  lie) during his speech at the North American Climate Summit in Chicago. “A streak that still continues by the way. ‘Thanks, Obama.’..he said thanking himself.. for the achievement....

Well ,if this is true that the previous Presidents actions carry over a year into the next presidents term...then Bill Clinton is totally responsible for the attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.....8 months into GWBush's Presidency..

Well, in this administration there will not be a President going around the world on an " apology tour"...apologizing for America and bowing and scrapping to very foreign leader ..I bet you..

According to C-SPAN survey, historians rank Obama 12th best US president of all time based on 10 different measures.  High 3rd in equal justice for all, 7th in moral authority, and 8th in economic management.  Low 24th in international relations and 39th in relations with congress.  Of course, final verdict on Obama's legacy may still take time to assess as historical views are likely to season as time passes.

Further assessment of Obama's foreign policies...Thank you Obama,,for your foreign policies ..because of them President Trump has received unprecedented lavish welcomes from the countries he visited....on the longest foreign trip to Asia by any U.S.President in 25 years ..

Also,, because of Obama's actions on foreign policies.... President Trump is the first ever foreign leader to dine in the Forbidden City of modern China..... and the first U.S. President ever to visit Jerusalem's Western Wall............

Additionally Obama's policies made it easier for President Trump to place sanctions on rogue nations like Cuba ,Iran and North Korea..

It's very clear, President Trump has Obama to thank for his domestic and foreign success a little over one year after winning the election..

*President Trump was the first sitting president to ever visit Jerusalem's Western Wall..

Obama’s policies destabilized as much of the Middle East/N Africa as Bush’s policies. 

Obama created the worst humanitarian crisis since WW2 by backing rebels (ISIS etc) in an attempt to weaken/overthrow Assad. 

I kinda thought trumps foreign policy was going pretty good.

Settle down Francis.

I was being facetious.

Was traveling through Norwich, CT Saturday and saw Trump election signs in an abandoned storefront.  "Make America Great Again" signs are rather ironic in an empty store.  Another small businessman bites the dust.
