Heading to Oslo in Weeks, President Obama Faces Tough Days on the Diplomatic Front

China and India the 2 biggest polluters in the world could care less about the Oslo accords, The President should walk away until they have joined the fight. This combined with cap & trade will cost him his next election. Signing this agreement give our sovereignty away on matters of pollution standards.

“Chinese President and Paramount Leader Hu Jintao Tuesday signaled he might not be willing to go along if the matter comes up for a vote on the United Nations Security Council”
You’re kidding, right? OMG! What a shocka!
Fire up those armaments Israel. It’s hammer time!

Well,he faces tough days on the Home Front too and he’s not exactly doing a good job on that either.

“_Der Spiegel_ just blasted him,”
ROFLMAO!
Do right wingers read beyond the Drudge headline?
Here’s what that article had to say about Americans.
“For most Americans, the world beyond the US’s borders is nothing more than an irritating nuisance. For this reason, arguments based on appeals about drowning Bangladeshis, starving Africans and flooded islands in Indonesia have little effect. In Hollywood, the United States has an industry that continually pushes the materialistic ideal of Western prosperity to billions of people around the world, while at the same time bombarding them with apocalyptic visions in the form of disaster movies.
Many Americans clearly also believe that real climate change is just something dreamt up by the entertainment industry.
Obama has proven himself to be unable to put an end to the lies that modern American society is based on. He is unable to overcome the entrenched lobbyists of the oil and coal industries and make the reality clear to his compatriots: They are the worst energy wasters on the planet — and are thus, indirectly, a major threat to world peace in the 21st century. Although they do not enjoy a higher quality of life than Europeans, Americans consume twice as much fossil fuel per capita. Their cars are too big, their homes are not energy-efficient, and they have yet to focus their talents for innovation away from trivial entertainment gadgets and toward renewable energy-technologies.”
Right wingers using anti American lefty European opeds to attack Obama.
Obama derangement syndrome indeed.

The rest of the world now sees Obama for the shallow self promoter that he has always been.Totally without substance.It’s only his shrinking base of domestic zombies that continue to apologize for his glaring inadequacies.He won’t carry 10 states by 2012.Thank goodness

Diplomacy is incremental…
Yes it is. This was a well written article by Tapper. I like his professional form of journalism and professional critiques of the president and his administration. This is what the press should do and professional organizations (i.e. NY Times, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN) do. We need good analysis that is critical for proper educational value. The right-wing press and allies have failed to provide good critiques and though their voices are loud, their opinions only resonate within the base.
Obama can not part the waters, but he begin a constructive dialogue with friend and foe alike. This is beneficial to the current administration and to future administrations (D or R). Everything that Obama has done in terms of international affairs will benefit our nation. That is beyond dispute.

Obama didn’t think the waters would part? Doesn’t he think he can walk on it?
Who’s on the list for The Perpendicular President to bow to next?

What in the world are the Chinese doing? Didn’t they get the “Yes We Can” and “Hope and Change” message the American voters got last year? Obama is the Messiah people! The Messiah!! Pay attention!

Lots of time overseas, huh? Guess there’s nothing important to do here at home! What a waste. Sucker POTUS.

Guantanamo Bay? The President’s men really think this is the time to pretend that China cares about Guantanamo Bay? OMG, these people just cannot step off their agenda and will try anything to sell it.

Um. Is this the smarter foreign policy we were promised?

Apologizing doesn’t work, Bowing doesn’t work, appeasing our adversaries doesn’t work, indecisive dithering doesn’t work, Obama is repeating the failed Jimmy Carter foreign policy of four year in one year. And it is probably too late to change! Our adversaries and our allies now have his measure. The rest of his Presidency may well be driven by the weakness of his first year. I hope he enjoys his peace prize. The Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Venezuelans etc will be snickering!

“Everything that Obama has done in terms of international affairs will benefit our nation. That is beyond dispute”. Just like global warming. What is beyond dispute is that people who claim that highly disputed issues are beyond dispute are idiots.

High sounding drivel got him the Nobel. Thats a big deal since Norwegians run the world

Obama….
The constant lying.
The childish whining.
The disgraceful bowing.
The staggering arrogance.
The poisonous radicalism.
The dangerous narcissism.
The astounding incompetence.
Obama wants to put as much of the private economy under government control as possible to create his nanny state utopia where he is the boy king.
Let’s continue to stand strong against Obama in every way and get Congress out of the hands of the insane Pelosi and Reid in 2010.
Obama is a smug, smirking con man. Nothing more.

Oh yes, – we dare not talk to China about Civil Rights until we get our own house in order….
Disgusting! That remark is an insult against the American people by our White House.
We have been victims of Muslim bombs, attempted attacks, honor killings, etc., on average, every three to six months since 9/11. All the President and Napolitano can blather about is ‘fear’ of the American citizenry. We might have a backlash, they worry. They actually fear the American citizenry!
They should praise us and be truly amazed at our personal self-restraint.
We have over 300 million privately owned firearms in this country and NOT ONE Muslim has been attacked in revenge for the constant assaults they – inspired and directed by their Prophet – have inflicted upon us. But no – no – no – they have to tell us that we didn’t really see Islamic terror when we saw Islamic terror because they truly believe we are trogolodytes. They don’t EVER consider and praise our amazing and civil restraint and respect for the rights of others.
And – Do these idiots in the White House not know that the Chinese just rounded up about 10,000 Chinese Muslim Uighurs – some of whom were FORTUNATE enough to escape to the freedom of the United States – and conducted another Stalinist/Maoist slaughter purge?
Do they not know that Chinese women have been taken from homes, piled into trucks and hounded into having abortions?
Of course not. These ignoramuses in the White House do not know American history, the American culture, nor any world history – past or present. It’s no wonder we never see the First Fraud’s academic records.
Disgusting.
We have a country of men and women imbued with an amazing amount of civil restraint and respect for the law.
The President of Harvard Law Review doesn’t even have a clue!
He claims to worry about the little oppressed man. Then he bows to the Empreror and the Saudi Totalitarian Tribal Chieftain – two guys who won the sperm race and historically ruled by the sword to ensure their win.
He thinks Marxism was about the ‘little man.’ Well – it was. It was about keeping everyone little.
America was about elevating the dignity of the little man and all men to their greatest potential.
The reason our Presidents do NOT bow to potentates is the same reason that neither I nor any child of mine would ever bow to Clinton, Obama, or Bush.
Because we all truly imbued with equal rights.
That a President, representing my nation and me would bow to some clown who got his job winning a sperm race is unbelievable.
Obama is such an ignoramus that he doesn’t see the irony: His precious Marxist/Socialist outlook was born of a philosophy designed to destroy the very people to whom he bows!
Obama is an utter disgrace.

This is so ridiculous, closing Gitmo and trying foreign Al Qeada terrorist who killed 3000 Americans in s civilian court………. ah that’s really going to show the Russian and Chinese, the same Chinese that put to death 5 people last week for participating in riots 2 months.
Those decisions about closing Gitmo, investigating the CIA, releasing classified documents, giving terrorists behind 911 constitutional rights, ending the ability of the CIA to use enhanced interrogations, these decisions have nothing to do with world opinion, the great powers think Obama is naive and foolish, these actions are all about appeasing the hard left, this decisions are all based on a anti American constituency that Obama surrounded himself before he became President, Jeremiah Wright wasn’t a person Obama just knew he was his mentor and spiritual advisor, you don’t become close to someone that out spoken if you don’t share their views, that America is the cause of much of the worlds ills and has to be taken down a couple of pegs and if the American national security is compromised so be it.

From the article above:
‘Asked about these incidents, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters that President Obama “did not think the waters would part and everything would change as a result of his 2 1/2 day trip to China.”‘
Funny, but a great number of first-time voters in the 2008 election thought that “think the waters would part and everything would change as a result of” electing then-Senator Obama to the Presidency. His lack a ‘loaves-and-fishes’ moment in the first two years of his first term will cost Democrats as the disillusioned first-time voters either sit out or vote Republican in 2010.
He can’t seriously expect to ride this “ignorance of the problems the prev administration left me” strategy till next November – EVENTUALLY the press and the American people will remember he was a sitting US Senator who’s job it was to understand the issues facing our country and work to correct them. That’s what the other 99 Senators did (including Senators McCain & Clinton).
His novelty pass on all issues is about to expire, and both his critics AND supporters are looking for concrete accomplishments, not inspiring rhetoric. I find it amazing that with super majorities in both the House and Senate the only way the Matthew Shepard anti-discrimination act could pass was as part of a defense dept. authorization bill. What a ‘victory’.

Obama’s malignant narcissism is going to get many more Americans killed before his term is out.
Fort Hood exposed a completely vulnerable underbelly of politically-induced willful blindness in the heart of our security apparatus. The trial of the 9/11 terrorists will make a mockery of American justice, since the “defendants” were neither read their Miranda rights, nor (according to el presidente Himself) treated humanely in captivity. Expect an acquittal on an array of technicalities! And expect our national secrets to be made public, to the long-term detriment of our intelligence capability.
Having made appropriate political hay of Bush’s lack of fiscal discipline, The One has used it as a fig leaf for a far more reckless and destructive fiscal cronyism and a dangerous asset bubble that may just condemn the next three generations of Americans to third world poverty and chaos.
If anyone still thinks Mr. Hope and Change loves this country, such person is a fool, and has been duped.

——————-
A statement like this shows the depths of pettiness that pretend as political thinking on the right.
As always their thinking is ‘you either think and believe like us or you hate Ameria, and you’re stupid.’
Throw in ‘you’re a traitor’ etc. and you have the totalitarian mindset of an unfortunate number of right wingers.
Thank God they’re out of power.
