Louie Gohmert: This is what you get ‘when a community organizer takes on a KGB agent’
U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert had some tough words Wednesday for the escalating crisis over Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula, saying President Obama’s background is simply unsuited to dealing with the hard reality of a dictator on a tear.
“What you’re seeing … is what you get when a community organizer takes on a KGB agent,” Gohmert told Brian Killmeade on Fox & Friends. “It doesn’t go well.”
Gohmert, a Texas Republican who spent time in Ukraine as an exchange student when the country was still part of the Soviet Union, warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s takeover of the Crimea is only the beginning of more trouble down the line from the former KGB operative.
“Putin wants all of Ukraine,” Gohmert said. “Crimea was a place to start … He’d love to have the Baltic states, he’d like to move on ‘the stans,’ like Kazakhstan. He would like to move on eastern Poland.”
A United States that limits its reactions to announcing sanctions against only seven top Russian officials isn’t really trying to stop Putin.
Financial steps, such as getting Russia kicked out of the International Monetary Fund, would be using a real weapon, Gohmert said. Reinstating the missile defense system in Poland that Obama canceled as one of his administration’s first foreign policy decisions is also key, he said. Helping countries defend themselves means less need for American blood to defend them in the long run.
“You empower the enemy of your enemy to take on your enemy,” Gohmert said. “We ought to immediately reinstate the missile system of defense, when this president screwed over our ally so badly. Put it back in there.” SOURCE
You may not like Texas, you may not like Texas people, our climate and our topography, you may not like this report or my wording OF it. That’s ALL OK by me, it’s your opinion and I am not about to deny anyone their opinion, but there is one thing that NO ONE can argue about Texas, and that is this; we have political leaders that are LEADERS and aren’t afraid to stand up and speak the truth, even if the truth hurts.
Wait, that sounds like ME too. 
Louie Gohmert is one of those Texas leaders that has RIGHT in his heart and truth on his lips. Texas GOP leaders are known for that, think; Pete Sessions, Sam Johnson, Jeb Hensarling, Ralph Hall and any number of others. The part I really like? All of those I just named are Texas Congressmen and from North and Northeast Texas, MY part of Texas.
Gentlemen such as those named aren’t *community organizers*, they are MEN, they have all had REAL jobs, they have worked to make a living and they know what *real world* experience is all about.
Here’s what you get when someone like Barack Hussein Obama tries to address real world issues and real power players like Vladimir Putin, issues Obama has NO understanding of;
1. Russia does NOT do diplomacy
2. Force is the Russian/Soviet way
3. Obama is a *babe in the woods* when dealing with LIFE in general, he has NO clue, and in an international *dust up* he is beyond useless
4. Russia, and now the entire world, KNOWS this to be fact
5. Putin OWNS Obama
The USA is in the most precarious position we have ever been in, a faltering economy, a weak dollar, a *drawn down* military and a POTUS that isn’t capable of going to the bathroom without help and directions.
Sadly, I see no American *savior* on the horizon, I see no Ronald Reagan ready to ride in and save the day. None of MY favorite Congressmen are making ANY noise about running for the office of the presidency.
So, at least for the present time we are left with this; Barack Hussein Obama is a gutless, mindless jerk, and he is on the verge of getting a lot of Americans KILLED!
But you have to admit, Obama has got the *strongly worded letter* all figured out.
Both Obama AND Kerry are in waaay over their heads. Unfortunately, as drowning people are wont to do, they’re pulling us down with them! May God help us … and quickly!

You speak the truth Fredo…..Obama is a lost soul and has no idea what he is doin..
Maybe he needs to give Condeleeza Rice a call….she has forgotten more that this mental midget will ever ever know…
Obama created his poster today. While Russia is taking back its former empire a piece at a time, while the country is sinking in the economic mire, our president is busy picking his NCAA bracket.
What a man!
Diplomacy only works if you have the military might to back it up. Unfortunately, I don’t believe we have the military might to back it up conventionally. Oh sure, we have nukes and enough to devastate the world but not nearly as much as we had 25 years ago. You have no guarantee that missile or bomber will get though so that’s why we had massive forces during the Cold War. I don’t know if we have the airlift capability to move the necessary forces to combat of the most powerful militaries in the world. These aren’t a bunch of rag heads; these are trained combat troops with experienced military leaders. Putin knows Obama won’t even put nukes on the table and we can’t take on his forces in his theater of operation. My gosh, that guy had 150,000 combat troops on the move before we even knew about it.
Don’t get me wrong. We have the best trained and equipped armed forces in the world. Unfortunately, ten years of war, constant deployments, budget cuts, force reductions political correctness, and other factors which have sunk morale have taken a devastating toll.
And, don’t forget that the Chinese are watching this closely.
If it comes to the Chinese siding with the US or the Russians, they’ll side with the Russians.

BZ, you beat me to the punch on this one. Don’t think for a moment that our enemies are watching this. It is not just obama vs. Putin. All the other leaders will gang up with Putin and help him kick us. China is in a situation where they also own most of our debt. I don’t see them hesitating a minute to step in and “take control” of certain things in the U.S. in order to protect their “investment”.
The world in like a bunch of hyenas and the U.S. is a lion. They all fear us, and would never think of taking us on one on one. But, they will all easily band together in the fray to gang up and take us down, if only one of them makes the move and the U.S. shows weakness or vulnerability.
Between the outside forces fighting against us, the inside turmoil, the crap economy, downsized and a tired and demoralized military run by panzies…America is not in the best shape to take on a fight on all sides right now.
Granted, we are still no slouch, but we need to get back in our old shape again to get ready for what “might” happen.
Two presidential quotes said it right. “Walk softly and carry a big stick”…and “peace through strength”. Two things obama knows nothing about. I am not sure how obama’s “disarm and say sorry” approach is working, but that PC BS doesn’t work too well outside of our borders in the real world. Putin will not back down because he will be afraid to look like a racist. A “war on women” or accusations of not being environmentally friendly do not phase the rest of the world. The rest of the world consists of two types. Those that want to take over as the new super power, and those that want to see the old super power fail. Just like a poor black man who wants to be rich, or if he can’t be, then see whitey fail and be made poor…either is fine with him. That is the same mentality of the other countries.
Honestly, with Obama in charge, I don’t think anyone fears the USA..
Louie Gohmert is one of my few congressional heroes. He has a way with words and a way with expressing those words. Like fred says, we have a pretty good group of politicians from North Texas. They would be quite an asset if Texas were to secede.
Putin is not impressed by obama’s flim flam act. Another sad fact. The idiots that voted twice for the Magic Negro have no concept of or care about the world stage. They are as oblivious of Americas’ military, diplomatic and economic crisis’s as I am of rap bands.
obama has dug America into a hole, a deep hole. With Joke Biden and Hanoi Kerry as his key diplomats, obama shows no signs of being aware of how dangerous the world is becoming. To him the military’s primary mission is to fly him and his masculine wife to opulent vacations around the world.
Damn Tom THAT is one hell of a great assessment…
I agree with you Fred, and I like Mr. Gomert and the other guys you mentioned. As I see it, the stage is being set by those who are in the know (the Trilaterals) to push the inevitable necessity of a North American Union between the U.S., Canada and Mexico to stand against Russia, China and Iran. Is that too extreme a thought to consider?
I don’t think the Mexicans can be a part of any alliance, at least not with their current situation where everything is over-run by cartels, I don’t believe they can be trusted…
The odds of the USA returning to ANY position of greatness or power is slim and none as long as Obama is the POTUS, and frankly, unless the GOP gets their asses in gear, I don’t see a lot of potential showing up in ANY of the folks being mentioned as a possibility…
It is extreme to think of all of North America becoming a union. There are too many differences in thought and way off life between the borders. The problem with our international policy all rests in the lap of Obama. He is a rabble-rouser, a community organizer, a stirrer of the fecal pot. He makes empty threats, weakens us openly in all regards, and I firmly believe it is part of a plan to make us like Europe in every way.
meh…
Anyone for a nice litttle revolution here in the good old USA. The Obama regime needs to be replaced and soon. SOB is making good on destroying this nation. They need to be stopped.
