It's a toss-up as to whether President Obama's transnational mush or Gadhafi's ramblings was a more unreal moment at the U.N. Half a decade or so back, I wrote: "It's a good basic axiom that if you take a quart of ice cream and a quart of dog feces and mix 'em together, the result will taste more like the latter than the former. That's the problem with the U.N." Absolutely right, if I do say so myself. When you make the free nations and the thug states members of the same club, the danger isn't that they'll meet each...

<p>I’ve refrained from commenting on President Obama’s address to the United Nations General Assembly because the speech made me angry.</p> <p>But this address grows more disturbing on further reading. Some major presidential speeches deserve to be remembered, quoted and celebrated. Some deserve to be forgotten. A few deserve to be remembered and criticized, because they dishonor the history of presidential rhetoric.</p>

Israel is looking like the new leader of the Free World. The previous leader, the United States, resigned this role last week at the United Nations to take the position of global community organizer.

Demonstrations against Ahmadinejad in New York City Video here: Ahmadinejad has to go

One of my favorite features of the Newseum in Washington, DC is the daily display of newspaper front pages from around the world. Today, Canada’s National Post was a standout with Alex Spillius’ coverage of a clash between Presidents Obama and Sarkozy.

Ladies and gentlemen, your President is a robot. Or a wax sculpture. Maybe a cardboard cutout. All I know is no human being has a photo smile this amazingly consistent. On Wednesday, the Obamas hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during which they stood for 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries in town for the UN meeting. The President has exactly the same smile in every single shot. See for yourself — the pictures are up on the State Department’s flickr (link below). And, of course, compressed into 20 seconds for your viewing pleasure.

A week ahead of crunch talks on Iran's nuclear program, the leaders of the U.S., France and the U.K. on Friday accused Tehran of building a covert uranium enrichment facility, a development they said directly challenges the world's non-proliferation rules. Later in the day, Iran publicly confirmed and strongly defended the nuclear fuel facility. Speaking at an overflowing news conference in New York Friday afternoon, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said his country has complied with rules of the U.N. nuclear agency that requires Tehran inform it of any new enrichment facility six months before any such facility becomes operational, the...

Cardboard Obama has a new book out which is already on the bestseller list. The book cover is at the end of this video of Cardboard Obama greeting world leaders. Congratulations to both Bill A. and Barack.

Well, if this isn’t an analogy for an empty-suit presidency, nothing will suffice. It’s too good to be true and so almost certainly isn’t, but as this rapid-fire look at 130 photographs from the UN this week shows, it’s hard not to draw the conclusion that the POTUS has a COTUS. Watch the frozen image of Barack Obama’s face on your first pass, and then check the position of his hands on your second pass:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said President Obama, along with the leaders of Britain and France, will "regret" accusing Iran of hiding a nuclear facility. "It's not a secret site," Ahmadinejad said Friday at a news conference in New York. "If it was, why would we have informed the IAEA about it a year ahead of time. "They will regret this announcement." Ahmadinejad said the new facility won't be operational for 18 months so Iran has not violated any requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Earlier Friday Obama demanded that Iran immediately allow international weapons monitors to inspect a nuclear...

These two clips from Levin’s 1st hour yesterday speak for themselves. The first clip starts with Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s statement to the U.N., after which Mark declares—and I quite agree—that it is Netanyahu, not Obama, who is now the true leader of the free world. It is Netanyahu who sounded like Reagan and Thatcher, and Obama who sounded like Neville Chamberlain. It was Netanyahu, not Obama, who stood up to the personifications of evil that now disgrace the halls of the U.N. Mark said it quite well: Obama should have been the one to give the speech that...

<p>President will announce Friday morning a significant expansion of the consortium of countries that tackles global economic and climate change issues.</p> <p>In a surprising late-night twist on the eve of the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh, FOX News has learned President Obama will announce Friday morning a significant expansion of the consortium of countries that tackles global economic and climate change issues.</p>

President Obama's first address to the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, Sept. 23, can only be described as a renunication of American exceptionalism. Obama essentially gave up his nation in favor of being leader of the world when he told world leaders: "No world order that elevates one nation or groups of people over another will succeed." In Obama's eyes the U.S. is tarnished, stained, immoral, and unjust, with a flawed Constitution, and no better than any other nation. It saddens me that Obama does not recognize the greatness of this nation. It isn't that our DNA is differ. It...

The eleven, according to a European source: Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand … and the United States. I assume our guys wouldn’t have bolted without the White House’s approval, so kudos to The One for showing a bit of principle. Every year this degenerate does his same Jew-baiting shtick — “It is no longer acceptable that a small minority would dominate the politics, economy and culture of major parts of the world by its complicated networks” — and every year our moronic media lines up to interview him. And every year, it’s the...

Here is video of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech to the United Nations.He used his speech to attack the United States and the Jewish people: Mr. Ahmadinejad repeated accusations that Israel was responsible for "inhuman policies" against the Palestinians. Then he broadened his attacks to the Jews who live outside that country. "It is no longer acceptable that a small minority would dominate the politics, economy and culture of major parts of the world by its complicated networks, and establish a new form of slavery, and harm the reputation of other nations, even European nations and the U.S., to attain...

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) – France on Wednesday led a walkout of a dozen delegations, including the United States, to protest a fiery speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the UN General Assembly. "It is disappointing that Mr Ahmadinejad has once again chosen to espouse hateful, offensive and anti-Semitic rhetoric," Mark Kornblau, spokesman to the US mission to the United Nations, said in a statement. Delegations from Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica, Denmark, France Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand and the United States left the room as Ahmadinejad began to rail against Israel, a European source said. Israel had already...

Listening to Qaddafi babble to the United Nations assembly today is both entertaining and boring. However, he may be on to something when he went on his rant about moving the United Nations out of America. He suggested moving it to across the pond to the eastern hemisphere. I would venture to say that the vast majority of Americans would agree with this view.
