President Obama has recently completed the most successful foreign policy tour since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. You name it, he blew it. What was his big deal economic programme that he was determined to drive through the G20 summit? Another massive stimulus package, globally funded and co-ordinated. Did he achieve it? Not so as you'd notice.
Barack is not the first New World ingenue to discover that European leaders will load him with praise, struggle sycophantically to be photographed with him and outdo him in Utopian rhetoric. But when it comes to the critical moment of opening their wallets - suddenly it is flag-day in Aberdeen. Okay, put the G20 down to inexperience, beginner's nerves, what you will.
On to Nato and the next big objective: to persuade the same European evasion experts that America, Britain and Canada should no longer bear the brunt of the Afghan struggle virtually unassisted. The Old World sucked through its teeth, said that was asking a lot - but, seeing it was Barack, to whom they could refuse nothing, they would graciously accede to his wishes.
So The One retired triumphant, having secured a massive contribution of 5,000 extra troops - all of them non-combatant, of course - which must really have put the wind up the Taliban, at the prospect of 5,000 more infidel cooks and bottle-washers swarming into the less hazardous regions of Afghanistan.
Then came the dramatic bit, the authentic West Wing script, with the President wakened in the middle of the night in Prague to be told that Kim Jong-il had just launched a Taepodong-2 missile. America had Aegis destroyers tracking the missile and could have shot it down. But Uncle Sam had a sterner reprisal in store for l'il ole Kim : a multi-megaton strike of Obama hot air.

FInally, a proper headline in the MSM
Obama: the liberal pantywaist for sure! His “Apologize for America” tour was a disaster for Americans who respect this great country as it is! EARTH TO OBozo!:....Everything in your European socialism dreams amounts to GARBAGE!....
To hear Joe Biden tell it Obama is the greatest and most successful statesmen since Bismark.
Surrender Monkey Obama can’t guarantee the safety of Americans at sea so what business does he or anyone in his administration have in trying to disarm us at home?
“FInally, a proper headline in the MSM.”
The BRITISH msm, that is. If you want a realistic appraisal of BO’s Magical Mystery Tour, you have to read it in the English press. They are underwhelmed, to say the least. I suppose that is why BO managed a curt nod to the Queen, while hoisting his rump in the air in a deep, humiliating bow to the Saudi king.
This guy is great!
I've wondered why the world's media hadn't jumped on the fact that the Koreans gave The One the finger while he was in Europe and proved to everyone what a wuss he is.
Got another one in the cooker.
When the Obama regime is brought to an end, Americans will owe much to the British press for having done the honest reporting that the American press should have been doing instead of all this disgraceful fawning.
But then, the British press doesn’t rely on Obama and company for favours—cushy civil service appointments, prime seating at press conferences from which to toss softballs, exclusives with his Teleprompter.
History will mark this period as the nadir of the American political press—reduced by its own free will to a pack of lap dogs rewriting White House press releases, and finally to active agents of state-sponsored deception.
If only things had gone better and they kept him.
LOOOOOOOOVE that headline! LOL!
Pizza eating surrender monkey
That headline alone deserves a bump.
It’s a damn shame that it will be a foreign media that actually tell the truth about this goofball. I think grounds keeper Willie from the simpsons has the best description. “Cheese eating surrender monkey”. I love his voice.
Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in his grave. Our last great president.
Bump!
