Now that the whole global warming thing is taken care of, you think Obama might spend a few seconds to work or relations with Russia or how about pounding ISIS into bolivian?

I'd say he has been working on isis given the Saudi's statement and the coalition that they've formed.

Thanks to the tireless effort of the CIA who eventually found him. We should have made Pakistan pay for allowing him to hide in their country. Wasn't it Biden who didn't want to go get him. This is the one accomplishment that I'm grateful to Obama. That he didn't listen to Biden.

I've never understood "feckless." Usually a word can have "less" on the end and be bad or "ful" or something like the end and be good. But there is no feckful. What is feck anyway? If we don't know what feck is then how do we know it's bad to have none of it?

Here's the best line of the night (you had the right guy but the wrong line):

“When I stand across from King Hussein of Jordan, I say to him you have a friend sir who will stand with you to fight this fight,” Christie said during Tuesday's Republican primary debate,

Hussein has been dead for 16 years.

IDIOT!

Why do you go out of your way to confuse yourself? Webster has rather plain definition: weak; ineffective; worthless; irresponsible. Any and all are applicable, and zero difficulty in understanding. Next?

And we should make America pay for all the terrorists and criminals hiding in the US.......oh wait, doh!
They are serving in Obama admin and he directs his AG to keep hands off. Or they run to the Cities where they have "free base" from law enforcement. Pathetic.

Read again, I wasn't talking about "weak," I was talking about "feck."

I just looked up "feck" on dictionary.com and got the following. So in this light "feckless" makes sense, but since the word "feck" isn't used it's kinda weird that "feckless' is used.

noun
1.
(Scot, obsolete)
  1. worth; value
  2. amount; quantity
  3. the greater part; the majority

Why do you question the meaning that Webster's offers. Feck / feckless, why do you offer a different word than what was used in the discussion last night. What would have been your inquiry if he had used "******" as the descriptive word in speaking of Obama?

I think he's looking at this linguistically, not politically.

From Opie, that is a possibility. But for the rest of the board, we probably spend a little more time on here discussing politics over linguistics. I think I could be correct on this one.

Read my first post in this thread again. I'm clearly talking about the word "feckless." I'm just noting that it's strange that that word is used and yet the word "feck" isn't used. If you call someone gutless, talentless or soulless you're saying that they lack guts, talent or a soul, but if you say someone is feckless you're saying they lack feck even though nobody knows what the heck "feck" is.

When you add the ending "less", you have the word used last night which gives opposite meaning. Apply at your offered definitions, and you would get "not" or "less" which would be adequate words descriptive of Obama.

We give Pakistan millions and millions of military aid every year. There are factions within factions in Pakistan that support Al Queda, Radical Islamic Jihad and we should withhold military funding until they are willing to take control. The first thing I would do with Pakistan is tell them that they will release the doctor and his family before they would get another nickel from the US.

Yea, some of our politicians are idiots. Who is the dummy who thinks our country is made up of 57 states and Hawaii is part of Asia? Here is another that should really piss you off. What idiot spells RESPECT like this; "R-S-P-E-C-T"? Did you know that America is the country that built the "Intercontinental Railroad"?
