2. is there a dfiiference between Obama and a neo-con?

Literally this guy is turning into a right-wing neo-con.

First its increasing drone strikes that he knows leaves thousands of 'collateral damage' over the years.

Then it helping to remove Ghadafi in Libya and leaving behind a nation that is in chaos with warring tribes.

Then its excusing the previous administration for its use of torture because you know, they only tortured because they were scared after 9/11, and we shouldn't get all sanctimonious about it.

Then its wholeheartedly supporting the massacre of Palestinians by the Israelis, and even providing them more cover and supplies than a right-wing government would.

Then its sending military observers to Iraq, followed up by possible airstrikes that will surely end up escalating into putting more tropps back on the ground.

Not to mention his provocation of Russia and escalating the stakes over Ukraine because Russia dared to intervene in a neighbouring country, something the U.S has done many, many times with its own neighbouring countries.


So can anyone seriously deny with all the above evidence that Obama is turning into ro has always been a neo-con at heart?

6. I don't think there is

I think he is just a neocon that talks a little nicer. He was a professor and the University of Chicago. Aka Neocon U. His behavior is that of a Straussian "Gentlemen."

7. That is not what the President said.

It's shameful how his words get twisted and shoved into some wiggling sacks of glee.
