Exactly. The American middle class is clearly our number one enemy

Unless you realize that Russia still has over 10,000 nuclear weapons still pointed at us, and al-Qaeda and Iran still have none.

Or you realize that Russia possesses the ability to erase our ass from the Earth, and al-Qaeda on a good day can blow up a building.

Right now, THEY are the impediment to effectively dealing with Iran and Syria - not al-Qaeda.

I thought that was one of the dumber things he said last night.

"When I was in high school, Russia was an enemy, now the high school students can know Russia as a friend; that we're working together to break the old ties, to establish a new spirit of cooperation and trust so that we can work together to make the world more peaceful." (G.W. Bush)

Since it came from Bush, that makes it a lie. Right?

You obviously posted this to contrast Bush with Romney and to show us that Obama is lying when he tries to tie them together. Good job! Keep it up!

The United States does not have "friends". At best, it has allies. Seventy years ago, our allies included Russia, and our enemies were Germany and Japan. Things change.

The former Soviet Union is not necessarily the belligerent it was during the Cold War, but make no mistake - they are not our friends. Their position over Syria is proof of that. Our throwing under the bus of Poland a few years back, when we scuttled their missile defense on the 70th anniversary of their invasion by Russia - we acknowledged we can be bullied by them.

The Russian people do not love Communism, but they resent the loss of prestige their former position as a world power gave them. They want it back.
