Obama Advises Walker to "Bone Up" On Foreign Policy

Last week, Scott Walker once again showed himself not to be ready for prime time when he gleefully announced that if he were to become president, his first job would be to cause war in the Middle East, by undoing any pacts with Iran.

When asked about Walker's grandiose statements of bravado, President Barack Obama wiped the stupid smirk off of Walker's face:



As my friend karoli at Crooks and Liars reported:
President Obama is a master of the subtle takedown, but this one wasn't even that subtle.

Speaking to NPR News' Steve Inskeep, Obama was asked about Scott Walker's remarks that he'd undo the Iran deal on Day One of his mythical presidency.

"It would be a foolish approach to take and perhaps Mr. Walker — after he's taken some time to bone up on foreign policy — will feel the same way," Obama said.
Obama goes on to point out that Walker's inanity could prove to be dangerous as it undermines the office of the president and could embolden our enemies.

We in Wisconsin can vouch that while Walker talks a good game, in reality he is a coward, as is common among bullies.

We at Cog Dis managed to get this candid shot of Walker when he first saw the video and heard the smack down by Obama:

  2. Republicans are insane. They have gone apeshit over four dead in Benghazi. Then with Iran, instead of cutting a deal to have inspections of nuclear facilities and other controls, Republicans want to go to war with Iran that will kill and maim untold numbers, including American troops.

    Reality check. Even if Iran builds nuclear bombs, if they use them, both the USA and Israel will have many times more nuclear bombs which they will use to incinerate Iran if Iran acts as stupid as a Republican.

    1. 4 dead at benghazi, and thousands dead ayr the world trade center, and hundreds of thousands dead of in the war of aggression in Iraq, including all those US servicemen killed and maimed by IEDs because the Bush administration couldn't make securing a few hundred thousand tons of Iraqi high explosives a higher priority than the securing of the oil ministry, and the oil shipping terminals....as I recall, Bush simply got his cod piece on and told us "mission accomplished."

  4. Walker gets owned. funny thing is, over 75% of Iranians want a better, closer relationship with the United States. Scatty want to bomb the shit out of them as well and the 20 odd percent of Iranians that don't like us, seemingly just to boost the price of oil of Koch brothers freak gas and to satisfy the Likud...all with the blood of American servicemen and women and a bunch of Iranians that don't want to be in a conflict with us. Nonetheless, if attacked, they will fight much better than the Iraqis did, while using much higher quality weapons which include all those Chinese 'Sunburn' land to sea missile systems, that absolutely will close the straights of Hormuz to oil transports for a very long time. http://www.militaryaerospace.com/blogs/mil-aero-blog/2013/07/how-vulnerable-are-u-s-navy-vessels-to-advanced-anti-ship-cruise-missiles.html

  5. i find it humorous that Obama is taking Walker to task on foreign policy.... IIRC, not really one of his strengths back in 2008...

    1. I'm dying laughing how Republicans think war is the solution with Iran. They obviously learned nothing from the disasters of Bush/Cheney. Obama is smart enough to use proxies to fight ISIS, rather than commit ground troops, which would boost ISIS recruitment. You and most Republicans are not smart enough to think that far ahead.

    2. Proxies, and much more to the point, local Islamic nations like Jordan and Yemen — so it's not "the West vs. Islam", but rather the sane Muslims restraining the radicals....
