Ann Coulter To Lou Dobbs: Libya And Afghanistan Are ‘Disasters’ Under Obama’s Watch

Video
» 39 comments

Nobody seems to be happier than Ann Coulter that the Birther controversy is over, because now she can get attention for criticizing President Obama on issues that are actually important. Coulter usually known for her outrageous statements that some don’t consider to be serious, asks a question that would likely find much liberal support: “what on Earth are we [still] doing in Afghanistan?”

When Lou Dobbs laughed at how Obama said he released the birth certificate because he needed to focus on more serious matters, Coulter cautioned:

“Do not knock the fundraisers and the going on Oprah – if he applies any more of his brilliance and attention to governing, the country can really be in the toilet. Every time he’s involved, disasters ensue.”

Coulter established that she believes Obama’s policy in both Libya and Afghanistan have been “disasters” and she wondered “to quote liberals on Iraq, what does victory look like in Afghanistan?” Finally, since Obama was in New York City yesterday for a campaign fundraiser, Coulter suggested that was the reason why she appeared on Fox a lot yesterday, joking “I’m just going to stay at Fox all day, because we cannot move in that traffic out there.”

    We just had one of the deadliest days for our troops in Afghanistan and the liberal media completely ignored it. Would they have done the same if Bush were still in office? I think we all know the answer to that. What liberal media bias?

    You’ve never given a tinker’s toot about our troops or their families, but that doesn’t stop you from shamelessly, callously using them to bash our President. Repeatedly. Shame on you! To paraphrase, “At long last, have you no decency?” The answer is obvious.

    U.S. economic growth slowed more than expected in the first quarter as higher food and gasoline prices dampened consumer spending, and sent a broad measure of inflation rising at its fastest pace in 2-1/2 years.

    We’re actually fortunate. Have you looked at economic growth in the UK under Cameron’s Ryanesque and Draconian Austerity Program? Miserable performance. Four quarters in, overall negative growth, which Cameron and the Conservatives argued would turn around significantly in the quarter ending March. Less than 1/2 of 1% growth. Cameron and the Conservatives are in full PR mode here, and the British people are suffering mightily. We certainly don’t want to go there!

    HAHA, so now the liberal spin on the tanking economy under BO is, “well look at what the Conservatives are doing to the UK”. You can’t make this stuff up, folks!

    Bernanke admitted yesterday that the Fed is buying Treasuries (aka monetizing the debt) which we were told would absolutely not happen.

    Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Pablo, I contend the Bernake presser (the first one the Fed has had in nearly a century) was the reason the birth certificate made an appearance yesterday. Always gotta be watching that other hand.

  • Jaurez

    Ms. Coulter, you must be quiet we don’t want this to get out…Obama is trying to drum up money from people like goldman-sachs. The same people he “railed against” a while back.

  • winning

    Memories of Carter will pale compared to the filth that sits in The White House today. Carter was a well meaning, but completely inept fool who brought the country down a couple of notches due to his stupidity. Obama is a conniving little dirtbag who’s intentionally trying to ruin the economic system, and by extension, the way our government works due to his leftist idealism. He’s a cancer, an asshole, and an elitist leftist scumbag who’s been handed everything in his life because he was always a novelty.

    Let’s not forget that when Lil’ Dugya was in office it was, in the right’s eyes, TREASON to criticize the POTUS during a “time of war” and peace protesters were TRAITORS.

    The fact is that more US soldiers have died in Afghanistan in the 2 years under Barry than did in the 7 years under Bush.

    And he’s going on his 4th ISAF Commander in 2.5 years (after getting punked by Rolling Stone). Way to run a war, Baracky.

    How many “Days not weeks” have we been attacking Libya for now? 40, by my count. Which is more than 5 weeks, and almost a month and a half.

    Timothy, how do you feel about Obama lying us into a war for oil?

  • JoshuaRay

    I’ve always wanted to know about Ann Coulter’s birth certificate. That is far more interesting than the whole Obama controversy. I’m assuming it will finally prove what we already know about Mr. Coulter.

    Can’t be as bad as what we know about you. Being born feet first while your mom was hanging from a fake tree in the San Diego Zoo is nothing to be proud of, boy. That’s the trouble with people like you who’re mentally retarded, you don’t even realize that you’re a moron.

    Your hateful nature is, to me, a prime example of the truly vile and evil heart of the teabagger and republican party. You do not have truth on your side. You do not have reality on your side. You have hate and violence and that is why you will, ultimately, lose.

    Hmmm. Could that be because Lil’ Dubya pulled troops from Afghanistan to bring “freedom” to Iraq and get those terrible “WMDs”?

    How many troops did Lil’ Dubya send to their death? Back then the righties said, “it’s a volunteer military, they know they might die” – now you shed your crocodile tears. Amazing.

    So in other words, an unnecessary war started by a republican= bad >:^(
    An unnecessary war started by a democrat = good :^)

    I’ll be sure to remember that bit of “liberal logic”.

  • billwhit1357

    More soldiers killed under Obama’s Idiotic Rules of Engagement than all of Bush’s eight years! That should say something in itself! Obama is not a Leader, he is an Agitator and I do believe Obama to be America’s Greatest Enemy. Reading Terrorists Miranda Rights and not firing on known enemy unless they are firing on you is totally insane and can only come from some nitwit who has no idea what being a soldier is about. That is why I think all future Presidents should have military experience and not some idiot who has never even served as a Senator Honorably. Obama has also proven he has no idea what Honor or Integrity is or the meaning of the words. Obama is a utter and total FAILURE!

    ALLEN WEST 2012! A Proven Leader and Patriot!

  • hgarner2000

    I hate to say this, but victory in Afghanistan will probably look like an oil and gas pipeline from central Asia to the Indian Ocean. In other words, we can’t win in Afghanistan.

    I don’t always agree with Ms. Coulter but herein, she is correct. -0bama shall be ever remembered as the worst president in US history. (OK, I might be wrong, I said the same thing about Carter, but I pray I am not.)
