And now this Friday morning, Obama was on the tube again, yapping about traffic jams. What is going on here? The president of the United States is talking about traffic jams? Then again, in grammar school we did all learn that part of George Washington's Farewell Address where he warned against entangling alliances and the dread menace of highway jug handles and traffic circles. That Obama’s big solution is, ta-da!, “high-speed rail” is simply one more sign that he is simply not serious about anything other than paying off 19th and 20th century legacy special interests. I look forward to tomorrow’s press conference, when Obama trains his laser-beam brain on the question of whether Razzles is a candy or a gum.
The weekend before this, Yes to a world without nuclear weapons, President Obama took note of North Korea’s missile launch just hours earlier and then grandiloquently proclaimed:
“Rules must be binding. Violations must be punished. Words must mean something. The world must stand together to prevent the spread of these weapons. Now is the time for a strong international response.”
A more fatuous presidential call to arms is hard to conceive. What “strong international response” did Obama muster to North Korea’s brazen defiance of a Chapter 7 –”binding,” as it were — U.N. resolution prohibiting such a launch?
The obligatory emergency Security Council session produced nothing. No sanctions. No resolution. Not even a statement. China and Russia professed to find no violation whatsoever. They would not even permit a U.N. statement that dared express “concern,” let alone condemnation.”
“I’m not against gift-giving in international relations. But it would be nice to see some reciprocity. Obama was in a giving mood throughout Europe. While Gordon Brown was trying to make his American DVDs work and the queen was rocking to her new iPod, the rest of Europe was enjoying a more fulsome Obama gift. Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.
And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country? He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans. He was rudely rebuffed.
He wanted more stimulus spending from Europe. He got nothing.
From Russia, he got no help on Iran. From China, he got the blocking of any action on North Korea.
And what did he get for Guantanamo? France, pop. 64 million, will take one prisoner. One! (Sadly, he’ll have to leave his swim buddy behind.)
The Austrians said they would take none. As Interior Minister Maria Fekter explained with impeccable Germanic logic, if they’re not dangerous, why not just keep them in America?
When Austria is mocking you, you’re having a bad week. Yet who can blame Frau Fekter, considering the disdain Obama showed his own country while on foreign soil, acting the philosopher-king who hovers above the fray mediating between his renegade homeland and an otherwise warm and welcoming world?
After all, it was Obama, not some envious anti-American leader, who noted with satisfaction that a new financial order is being created today by 20 countries, rather than by “just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy.” And then added: “But that’s not the world we live in, and it shouldn’t be the world that we live in.”
It is passing strange for a world leader to celebrate his own country’s decline. A few more such overseas tours, and Obama will have a lot more decline to celebrate.”

“And then there was his speech, in which he proudly proclaimed he was in Germany as a “a fellow citizen of the world.”
And there was the spectacle of the presidential wannabe going to a foreign land to apologize about the United States. Obama told his German audience he was sorry about his country because “I know my country has not perfected itself.” [This comment was made in the former seat of Nazi power. A letter to editor published in Obama’s hometown Chicago Tribune noted the irony: “While America may not be perfect, there is no reason to apologize to the Germans, architects of the Holocaust.”] As for America’s role in saving Germany from the onslaught of Stalinist communism and the subsequent Cold War, there was nothing.”
Obama's had demonstrated is ineptness at foreign affairs' and we were told this would be the outcome if he was elected. So the greater part of America, which included all the major and minority groups the democrats represent must feel the same way as the president. This is a very sad day, to speak for all the blacks, Indians, Vietnamese, Mexicans, Hispanics and the majority white population and say WE as a people are sorry for our arrogance. He is insulting everything they have, who they are, what they want in the form of a better way of life for every American everywhere in the world. This is not a strong statement I'm making just an honest observation of what Obama has done to WE the people. Now not all of us voted for him, yet that doesn't matter with respectt to his very naitivity in internationalpoliticss because WE again new this was going to happen. So don't complain about his inexperience in these matter's.
The simple fact he can't fix the problems' here at home with out destroying the private sector is just another sign of lacking any real plan to fix the U.S. Economy. Despite is moving words, it's just more political hot air, fueling the crisis created by member's of U.S. Congress who themselves are so out of touch with American that it's shameful at just the base level. The market's are talking, the people are talking and the President is talking, that is the problem. The president should be listening to include member's the Senate and Congress and they don't seem to be able to hear what the people are saying because they can stand in a room where they don't need to raise their voice's to change the foundation's on which America is using to stand upright. These are very dangerous time's. When those in position's long held, separated from the people, apart from them can rule over them quietly speaking with regal composure “We the People” are about to be trampled. “Only one thing can come from large government, less liberty.” I'll let you figure out who this quote is from.
Mr. President, “Give me liberty or give me death.”
