I love it. This country needs a hard, embarrassing smackdown for putting Obama into the White House in the first place.

This, America, is why you don’t elect smooth talking “community organizers” with ZER0 executive experience.

Obama has diminished our power and influence, and now is wondering why we have no influence.

Well, he accomplished his goal...

Now, as far as world influence goes, we're on an equal footing with, oh, I don't know, Tuvalu...

Whaaaa? Obama gets no respect. But but but that can't be. Just last year Obama said,

"President Barack Obama declared Wednesday that the world has a “new feeling about America” and more respect for its leadership..."

Obama touts world’s new respect for U.S.

Yeah, they got that Obama feeeeeeeeeling ok that Obama is a major idiot.

Good point, this country’s chickens are coming home to roost.
I think the dimrats and their media knew exactly what they were doing when they ushered the Kenyan organizer into office.

Makes you wonder WHY the Republicans in the Senate are so eager to kiss his butt.

It does doesn’t it. I suspect one reason is they’re completely out of touch w/ the rest of the country. They’re being measured and so far are coming up rather short.

This country needs to learn one hard, fast, basic lesson: The White House is NOT the place for "on the job training."

Unfortunately, you are right. The smackdown is coming. I just hope it isn't too severe and people who voted for Obama understand the error of their ways.

China and Russia and Cuba and Equador would be snubbing us on this no matter who was in the White House. But I imagine it’s much more satisfying for them to be snubbing someone who has spent his time in office alienating most of the world’s leaders.

This country is getting the smack down. Unfortunately the entire country is getting the smack down. I would have preferred the smack down be isolated to those who voted for 0bama.
