Obama Upbeat After 10-Day Asia Trip
Fox News / The Associated Press ^ | November 14, 2010

President Barack Obama on Sunday hailed the prospect of a new settlement freeze in the disputed West Bank as a promising step toward peace, urging Israelis and Palestinians to get back into serious negotiations quickly.

An upbeat president also pledged to return to the basic principles that drove his thinking when he first came to the White House, including sticking to a more bipartisan tone and better explaining his decisions to the American people. He spoke of moving from an "obsessive focus" on policy and making changes to his approach after a humbling midterm election.

"The fact that we are out of crisis -- although still obviously in a difficult time -- I think will give me the capacity," Obama told reporters aboard Air Force One at the end of long Asia trip....

I'd be "upbeat" after a lavish five-star all-expenses-paid around the world vacation, too.

If he is upbeat after that debacle, it means he is freshly medicated.

Upbeat means he got a fresh supply of kibble to smoke.

The guy is delusional.

He gets laughed at at every stop and he’s upbeat.

...urging Israelis and Palestinians to get back into serious negotiations quickly.

Oh, I'm sure that, given his spanking at home & abroad, they're gonna get right on that, just in time for the 2012 elections. (EYE ROLL)

Upbeat after a set of dismal failures, nothing good came from the trip, he got testy with the press corpse (yes corpse), and they became weary of his prissiness. Being upbeat after this kind of “trip” is simply delusion mixed with narcissism.

I’ve been seeing articles that the Israelis are just biding their time until President Palin takes office...

♫ Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.

Saying we’re on the brink of Middle East peace is a great way to spin his disaster on the world stage.

I think he being given drugs. I’ve been thinking this for a while. These mood swings are not normal. Anger, happy, despondent, anger Happy

The dude is messed up. IMO

Anti depressives or some kind of happy pills.

Upbeat(yeah right) after another one of growing list of very public and monumental FAILs.

Either he is doped up or he is a fool.

Obama Upbeat After 10-Day Asia Trip

What does he have to be "upbeat" about?? He proved once again, for all the world to see, that he is an abject failure. The jobs (we knew he couldn't deliver) that he promised to bring to the US aren't coming and he was irrelevent (AGAIN!) at the G20.

If he's upbeat about continuing to prove what a miserable failure he is, he's on something that isn't legal in America!!

If true, then the Israelis have my respect & encouragement. Right now, Israel is on her own; our MOTUS's idea of M.E. peace is genocide.

He’s managed to screw up every ‘opportunity’ for America he had.

This has been one of his most successful overseas trips so far.

I’d be upbeat too if I was trying to destroy America.

“I won” is a “bipartisan tone”? Who writes this stuff?

A billion dollar vacation can be uplifting, especially if it isn’t your $billion being spent. Obamao is still a putz.

Yeah, I’ve been told that smoking pot does that for one’s outlook. Doesn’t help the brain much, but one sure feels better on the way to becoming an imbecile.
