What on earth is going on... The President will not meet with the leader of Israel, but meets with the Communist Party Leader of Vietnam...

What on earth is going on in America... I just don't understand what our President and Administration is doing... Nothing new, I often don't get it...

I hope he knows what he is doing and has a plan...

He's lost it! He doesn't care, he's on his way out!

Sometimes it is best to keep my mouth shut and opinions to myself. But this does not surprise me.

We stopped shipment of arms to the Kurds and spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a handful of Syrian trainees. We are lost.

As a Jew I have to say that Bibi is an ultra-conservative jerk. He needs to heed the axiom: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. If the US & Iran can come to an agreement that de-escalates things a bit. If the Israelis would educate the Palestinians and have jobs for them, Israel would have a lot fewer enemies.

COL Charles Williams Seems to be valid criticism. Obama is a different kind of leader. Perhaps some benefit will come from our discussions with the Vietnamese.

Let's be completely honest. The meeting with Netanyahu was political theater. Obama said clearly he would meet with the Israeli PM AFTER the election. The meeting was arranged outside of normal protocols to boost Netanyahu on an election expected to be close and derail negotiations with Iran. Would YOU have met with him if the Dems pulled that crap? Probably not.

For some reason, this made me think of TJ's inaugural address, which includes, "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none." I think Obama SHOULD meet with the leader of Vietnam, but he should also meet with the leader of Israel. The personalities of the leaders, whether Netanyahu or Putin, are something he should deal with, as a part of his job. The US too often plays favoritism based on personality of the leader rather than what the US's relationship with that nation can provide the US (RealPolitic), and Obama has just highlighted his personal failure to meet that responsibility to the American people.

COL Charles Williams - Makes no sense to me, but, of course, very little that President Obama and his Administration do make any sense to me. He simply shoots from the hip and is getting very bad advice from his advisors. Unfortunately, his actions are having a very detrimental effect on our country.

Consider the source. Yes Vietnam is guilty of human rights violations. So isn't China and many other friends around the world. This is typical Fox sensationalism. Of course the President has a plan. He doesn't pull this stuff out of his fourth point of contact. I would suggest avoiding Fox News as you will not be encouraged to worry so much about our CINC.

The communist party leader who is not a government employee, not to mention a government leader. I guess I shouldn't be surprised about the actions of our current 'leader'. I thought that he cancelled the White House tours a while ago...

Condition normal for this guy. I'm surprised that he hasn't been nominated for an "Axis" (as in Axis and Allies) award. He has done more to set the free nations of the world back 50 years than any good he MIGHT have almost done...

A better question is, why does no contingency operational planning exist to remove a domestic enemy who managed to infiltrate the Executive Branch.

I guess your forgetting when the leader of Israel spoke in front of congress but didn't meet with the president. Meeting with the leaders of Nam is more of a military protection issue in reference to a bigger threat in China.

COL Charles Williams Some things we ought to get past and there in nothing wrong in that. But Obama is out to destroy this country and as Sgt David G Duchesneau says, he really doesn't care.
