Obama, "We have lost the world's respect"

Obama continuously stressed how Bush had made us outsiders to the world. How we were laughed at and ridiculed. Fast forward 2 months into his Presidency and lets look at how the world views us.

Iran- He reportedly sent a memo articulating his eagerness to talk. Iran snubbed him and told him to get lost.

China- Clinton took a trip to mend fences and told them our "relationship" is more important than freedom and human dignity. China's response, a military confrontation with an unarmed US Navy vessel; a renewed crackdown on dissidents and a call for a new global currency to replace the dollar.

N Korea- Again lets talk. N Korea's response is heightened military response and testing of weapons with the US being told stay out.

Poland, Ukraine and Georgia- Allies in an important part of the world. Obama has said he may back down to a Russian demand that a missile defence system not be built in that part of the world. Poland is counting on it to help protect them from rogue nations. So much for looking out for your friends.

Russia- Once again lets start again. Russia's response: Like China calls for a new global currency, continues helping Iran with it's Nuke program and more saber rattling like the good old days.

Europe- Our allies who always seemed to critize Bush and who fainted at the sight of The One. The EU President said "The US is repeating mistakes from the 1930s, such as wide-ranging stimuluses, protectionist tendencies and appeals to buy American." We are being lectured by France of all countries on how to run our country.

I could go on and on. Has this President done anything worthwhile? How many people who voted for him would like a do over?

  1. What scares me is this is only 2 months into his administration. We have 3 years 10 months to go. AHHHHHHHH

  2. Does everyone know what an indentured servant is? Is that what we will all be when the foreign governments come calling demanding payment on loans that we can’t pay back?
