New York Times ^ | NOV. 13, 2008 | HELENE COOPER

There is a world of advice out there for President-elect Barack Obama. Within minutes of his election, the calls from foreign governments began, Obama aides said, and they have not stopped.

While the first telephone exchanges between Mr. Obama and foreign leaders were limited to pledges of future cooperation and invitations to visit, those leaders and their aides have also been contacting Mr. Obama’s advisers and their surrogates with suggestions on how an Obama administration should conduct, and change, American foreign policy.

KEYWORDS: obama; trump
With all the discussion of impeaching Trump because his aides were meeting with foreign agents to discuss the reshaping of foreign policy, I thought it would be good to take a look back at what happened while OBAMA was still PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA.

I lived in NYC at the time he was unfortunately elected, and election night you would have thought you went back in time and were in Times Square during VE day. Millions of brainwashed asstards acting like the Messiah of all creation had come to save humanity.

Look at this crap.........

MORE-

The foreign efforts to sway the new team are normal during any presidential transition, but they are accelerated in this case, foreign policy experts say, because of the historic nature of Mr. Obama’s election and the significantly different course that world leaders expect him to pursue in American foreign policy.

The Russians want him to hold off on the installation of a missile defense shield in Poland. The Europeans want him to renounce the idea of “regime change” when it comes to Iran, while the Israelis want to be sure he does not give Iran a pass when it comes to nuclear weapons.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Taliban, which issued a statement this week urging him to “put an end to all the policies being followed by his Opposition Party, the Republicans, and pull out U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.”

Honestly I think having Mr Golf and party with Beyoncé
Was better than McInsane would have been
Knowing what I know now
And Romney was CLEARLY told to take a dive
And given what we’ve seen of him. Geesh maybe 2012 wasn’t the end of the world either
I mean at least with Obummer we knew what we had
The deep state under Romney may have become iñuntouchsbl

Bottom line. Everything ALWAYShappens for a reason
