No Holds Barred: Why does Obama smile at dictators?

JERUSALEM POST ^ | Apr. 20, 2009 | Shmuley Boteach

[Raster Man]

To answer the question, 0bama is a knucklehead.

[Bahbah]

Our president is a nice guy.

No he isn't.

[tbpiper]

Why does Obama smile at dictators?

He's among friends.

[oyez]

I don't think he's playing mind games with them. If he its solitaire.

Why? Admiration. He admires that they have gotten beyond those silly elections.

After all, he’s a communist traitor mole. Why wouldn’t he smile at his mentors?

[giotto]

He's among friends.

They're not just friends. They're colleagues, soul brothers. He has more in common with them than with the average American.

When my baby
When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio
De Janeiro, my-oh-me-oh
I go wild and then I have to do the Samba
And La Bamba

[WMarshal]

Birds of a feather flock together.....

Obama is nice to dictators because he likes what he sees. People naturally ingratiate themselves to someone they want to emulate.

We have 3+ long years ahead where we have to fight this clown's attack on our republic.

“They’re not just friends. They’re colleagues, soul brothers. He has more in common with them than with the average American.”

I didn’t see him smile that brightly with PM Brown and other western leaders. He craves commie dictator love.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

” And if Obama feels that he has to be the one to greet a man like Chavez,
must it be with the kind of ear-to-ear grin that one might show girl scouts selling cookies? “

He smiles like that because he’s meeting his heroes.
I’m surprised he doesn’t throw his panties at them and mouth “ Call me !”

[Cicero]

LIKE MANY AMERICANS, I have been awed by our president's capacity to draw those who hate us near.

Well, no. They all laugh at him behind his back, and many of them have responded to his smiles with public contempt. Castro just made fun of him today.

In fact, he and his administration have managed to offend a record number of foreign governments. Yesterday it was England, France, and Poland. Today it was Canada. And he just refused to meet with Netanyahu.

[presently no screen name]

I am a fan of President Obama precisely because of his sunny optimism.

Well, then, you are easily deceived. Do you buy a car because the salesman smiled at you.

But Bush was not, as Chavez once called him, the devil

And he'd call me the devil, also. Libs and tyrants do that - they can't handle goodness.

[WayneM]

Among bipedal primates, including humans, smiling is a gesture rooted in feelings of submission.

With Obambi, he naturally feels submissive among his idols and mentors.

Quite simple, really.

I woul love to have a bonafide body language expert answer this question, but I believe I am correct.

New high mark on the stupidity meter.

[GeronL]

because he wants to be the daddy of dictators

[RichInOC]

Our president is a nice guy.

“...meet it is I set it down
“That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain.”

...Hamlet, as written by William Shakespeare.

You take a swipe at one ally, it’s odd. Twice and you take notice. But 3 times makes a straight line in any plane. The only logical conclusion is that this is all intentional, from alienating and insulting our allies, yucking it up with tinpot dicators, and bowing either figuratively or in fact to our enemies.
