    Default Obama upsets Turks

    Alternative thread title... "0 makes desperate attempts to hold on to gay community"

    The hallmark of his presidency has been trying to portray an obvious wimp and sissy as an tough leader. To do that we have to over look his Mom jeans and girlie baseball throw and focus on how tough it is for the Leader of the Free World to interject himself into a minor league call of whether to kill a few Somali pirates and to order the killing of Osama bin Laden… at least when he had run out of other options. In fact, the url www.gutsycall.com takes you to the Obama campaign donation page.

    When the Obama was on the telephone with Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Obama though it was a good idea to not only be holding a baseball bat but to have a photograph of that event released. Message: I’m tough.

    It didn’t go unnoticed in Turkey.
    Do they now like us in Turkey?

    Maybe he was thinking of Theodore Roosevelt's "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

    It does seem weird to release a picture like that without further explanation, though.

    What does this have to do with the gay community?

    Though most people are counting on Mitt Romney to bring something approaching fiscal sanity to the White House to replace the rampant pay-to-play crony socialism that currently masquerades as economic policy
    Great article.

    Very weird photo. I can't believe that it's not photo shopped. If Obama needed a prop he should have held a basketball. That's his sport.
