White House officials say he personally demanded the country's leaders release political prisoners, including opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Bull. He probably asked their advice on how he can create some kind of Junta here in America.

I keep hearing from the left that he is restoring our dignity and goodwill that Republicans destroyed.

They’re already throwing in the towel for success on the Copenhagen Climate Change Comedy in December.

No doubt, he’s being told by the Asians to stick this carbon credit scam up his tailpipe.

Somewhere in America today a few hundred more people will scrape their Obama bumper stickers off their cars.

I think the world’s leaders have figured out that the “one” is not quite as smart as he, himself, thinks he is.

You can’t tell me that the foreign intelligence agencies of China, Russia, India, Japan, Lichtenstein, etc. don’t have all the dirt on him that there is and just have to wave it in his face.

“concerns”?

Hussein is in perpetual campaign/”gimme more money” mode—except for those occasions where he apologizes for the United States.

When America wakes up and boots him and his party out of power, it’ll be a great day.

And an even better day will be when the party and person replacing Hussein will govern by CONSTITUTIONAL principles and not welfare-state ones.

Maybe he's telling them to quit making those ObaMao T-shirts unless he gets a percentage.

He's making deals with China regarding our Tresury debt and the bonds the ChiComs are holding.

He's either promising to let them take over California when the Fed defaults, or assuring them that their military build up is okey-dokey with him and he won't be doing anything if they want to retake Taiwan.

I guarantee you, he's selling out some free people somewhere, and possibly all free people everywhere.

Why oh why is unemployment not a top priority? Obama wants to see the world on our tax money.

And on Iran, Messers. Obama and Medvedev were left to warn leaders of the Islamic Republic once again that "time is running out." Iran has yet to agree to a Russian offer to provide nuclear material for research in exchange for the closure of a nuclear reactor that western powers say could be used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.

This is lip service, nothing more. 0bama is being shown how the game is played but it is highly doubtful that he is learning very much - the Russians are doing precisely what they need to be doing to succeed, which is to feed 0bama's ego and continue merrily down their own road anyway. With regard to the Iranians, they're laying down an ultimatum: agree to extensive commercial relations with Russian nuclear science or they'll be punished with extensive commercial relations with Russian nuclear science. You'd have to awfully naive to fall for this and 0bama is, in fact, awfully naive.

Actions have consequences, and the consequence of presenting oneself to the world as the anti-Bush is that one ends up stuck with a posture the country's opponents are delighted to see. With regard to Copenhagen, 0bama's demanding, "Beggar yourselves to accommodate our environmental political vanities" and naturally enough, the Chinese among others are replying, "You first." If Cap & Trade breaks the country as is extremely likely, they'll know not to try it.

Even the liberals knew going in that foreign policy was not going to be their candidate's strong suit, but it is dismaying to see just how feckless, ideology-driven, and amateurish 0bama is turning out to be. "Put the country's neck on the chopping block and they'll love us" isn't really the basis of a sound foreign policy. 0bama is being bribed by celebrity and besotted by propaganda, including his own. And he has surrounded himself with so many enablers that there is no one left to guide him.

Yeah right! Just try getting a fifth of the worlds population to do anything. China has given birth to an emmerging consumer class of mostly 30 and under. They’re buying cars, plasma tvs, computers etc. You think they’re going to give that up because some American president says they should to ‘’save’’ the planet?
