    Figured that was the case, but fascinated to hear the details on the ground. Keep your head down and good luck.

    The Russian Reset died the day we decided to reset things in Ukraine. Or when NATO installed its 137th military base near Russia's borders.

    Poke the bear over and over, then act surprised and insulted when the bear doesn't like it. Evil bear!

    Maybe Obama should pick up the phone and call his old friend, and NATO ally.

    On the bright side, you've got a major party nominee who sees things your way.

    He seems very Trumpish.

    Our founders wisely set up a system of divided government, with a relatively weak president.

    Which is why we should all oppose presidential power grabs.

    Instead, libs cheared on the President when he declared that he had to take action because Congress wouldn't.

    Because Congress wouldn't Congress.
    Let's stop ignoring where the real problems lie.

    Yes. I'm sure you'll make the same argument when President Trump takes actions not authorized by Congress.

    Not at all. Trump is a psychotic fascist, as you're well aware.

    Please. Every president in my memory has pushed executive power to the limit and let the courts sort it out. The idea that we should all be aghast now is plain silly.

    Obama has the support of the people and a 51 pct. approval rating. He's been an outstanding president.
