Obama’s UN Gambit: King of the Universe and the Polls
nationalreview.com ^ | 09-05-09 | Anne Bayefsky

Looking for a quick and easy boost in the polls, President Obama has decided to go to the one place where merit bears no relationship to adulation: the United Nations. On September 24, the president will take the unprecedented step of presiding over a meeting of the UN Security Council.

No American president has ever attempted to acquire the image of King of the Universe by officiating at a meeting of the UN’s highest body. But Obama apparently believes that being flanked by council-member heads of state like Col. Moammar Qaddafi — who is expected to be seated five seats to Obama’s right — will cast a sufficiently blinding spell on the American taxpayer that the perilous state of the nation’s economy, the health-care fiasco, and a summer of “post-racial” scapegoating will pale by comparison.

You'll notice that his big event at the UN will be when Palin is in China to address the Investors Forum. It's pathetic that a president feels it's necessary to upstage a private citizen. I think this will backfire, most Americans aren't too keen on the UN. 0bama will be sitting just 5 seats away from Gadafy of Libya. Seeing 0bama strutting around in the hotbed of anti-Americanism won't sit well with most people, especailly in the heartland. Can we say EPIC FAIL?

Many books have been written about an individual’s thirst for ultimate power. How many have been successful? Zero. And Zero will follow the same script.

...Qaddafi — who is expected to be seated five seats to Obama’s right —...

Will Qaddafi give Obama a book to read and autograph it for him?

The administration’s zeal for the front-page photo-op on September 25’s New York Times has now become a scramble to manufacture an “outcome” for the session. The president’s idea for a glorious finish was described by Ambassador Rice as some kind of joint statement declaring in part “that we are united in support for effective steps to ensure nuclear nonproliferation.”

Such a result would be breathtaking — for the audacity of claiming exactly the opposite of what it really represents. Even allied council members France and the United Kingdom are reported to be very unhappy with Obama’s no-names strategy for his September rollout.

Far from bolstering his flagging image, the president’s group-hug theory of diplomacy deserves the disdain of anyone who can separate rhetoric from reality.

He’s desperate now. The dems hate the UN as much as we do. He will eventually alienate all.

From my post made a while back, explaining my reasoning for what I have been calling Dear Leader:

Either we stipulate that the “whole world” is the “nation” for Dear Leader et al, to accurately describe their government philosophy, and state they are "ONE-WORLD FASCISTS", or we need a new word to describe their desired governmental system.

A word that would accurately synthesize their thinking is:

CommuFascist

He is a One-World Fascist, not a Communist or a Fascist... the worst of both worlds, as far as the US is concerned.
