US-Based Trans-Pacific Failure by President
LATIMES ^ | 12/01/2012 | La time Reporter

Posted on 12/01/2012 8:53:50 AM PST by edcoil

President Barack Obama attended the November summit to sell a US-based Trans-Pacific Partnership excluding China. He didn't. The American led-partnership became a party to which no-one came.

It is symptomatic of the national condition of the United States that the worst humiliation ever suffered by it as a nation, and by a US president personally, passed almost without comment last week. I refer to the November 20 announcement at a summit meeting in Phnom Penh that 15 Asian nations, comprising half the world's population, would form a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership excluding the United States.

Instead, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, plus China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, will form a club and leave out the United States.

This is from the Asia Times, not the LA Times, as the links make it appear.

Bubonic Obama is the definition of “empty suit”.

From the first paragraph of the article:
It is symptomatic of the national condition of the United States that the worst humiliation ever suffered by it as a nation, and by a US president personally, passed almost without comment last week.
That just about says it all. The US media has become so compromised that they can't even be bothered to report this.

The humiliation is symptomatic of the Marxist direction the democrat party is taking (and the gutless GOP refuses to resist) the nation.

The fact that the humiliation passed unnoticed is symptomatic of the marxist bias of the night crawling, bottom feeding, leftwing ass kissing freaks & misfits in the US newsmedia.

Wait a minute. If Obama is a socialist who wants to destroy the country, why did he even go and try? Doesn’t make sense. Now, if he’s just a no-talent grifter, he would go and probably screw it up. He’s just a grifter.....a con man....a pickpocket.....and not even the brains of the pickpocket team....he’s just the front.

We were just defeated in this last election. We don’t understand our opponents.

Mitt Romney paid $30 million to people who don’t understand our opponents. People gave Karl Rove $300 million and he doesn’t understand our opponents.
