Then there is the catalogue of Mr. Obama's embarrassing moments on the world stage, a list which includes: giving England's Queen Elizabeth II an iPod with his speeches on it; giving British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a collection of DVDs that were not formatted to the European standard (by contrast, Mr. Brown gave Mr. Obama an ornamental desk-pen holder made from the oak timbers of Victorian anti-slaver HMS Gannet, among other historically significant gifts); calling "Austrian" a language; bowing to the Saudi king; releasing a photo of a conference call with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which the president was showing the soles of his shoes to the camera (an Arab insult); saying "let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's"; saying the United States was "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world"; suggesting Arabic translators be shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan where Arabic is not a native language; sending a letter to French President Jacques Chirac when Nicolas Sarkozy was the president of France; holding a town-hall meeting in France and not calling on a single French citizen; and referring to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when he meant Cinco de Mayo.

Scare Force One Flyover!
Thank you bump!
Scare Force One! I STILL want to know who was on the plane that day. Oh, when I was in D.C. for the 9/12 March happened by the White House. So my sister and I went up to all the vendors asking “Do you have t-shirts that say Scare Force One? You Lie? 57 States? etc. etc. Then we turned all the shirts with dear leader’s face backwards. It was fun.
With all the listed above foreign policy events, I can’t believe that he is that ignorant. There seems to be a pattern. Guess that’s what we get with a completely unknown candidate who got elected by the press.
Obama is up to the task, as usual.
