The president again casually confirmed his belief in the
decline of America's "outsized" influence in world affairs, noting,
"We are now seeing a situation where a whole host of other countries are doing well and coming into their own and naturally they're going to be more assertive." The president thinks this greater assertiveness is
"a healthy thing" but did not elaborate for whom it was healthy - certainly not the United States.
For some inexplicable reason, Mr. Obama welcomes the decline of America's role on the international stage. It is his most notable accomplishment.
Mr. Obama defended the relative lack of progress at this G-20 meeting by lecturing the press on the importance of maintaining perspective.
"We should not anticipate that every time countries come together that we are doing some revolutionary thing,"
he said.
"Instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we're going to hit singles. But they're really important singles." His Nobel Peace Prize notwithstanding, Mr. Obama has yet to prove that he is a power hitter in the league of nations. The world awaits his first home run. Mr. Obama's Mideast peace effort hasn't reached first base, he has achieved little of substance in dissuading Iran from pursuing nuclear-weapons capability, his trade policy is a slow-motion train wreck, and his vision of a nuclear-free world remains empty rhetoric.

Hussein won't be happy till other countries see the US as a lady of the evening so that's pretty close.
Obama doesn't really represent America because he doesn't represent America's values.
Dontcha’ just wish it were true !!!
I would be surprised if he traveled outside the US very much any more. He doesn’t like being laughed at behind his back. Other than the Middle East, I see him staying home.
He also welcomes America's financial collpase. And it's not inexplicable at all -- he depises America just as much as his buddies William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.
“thanks to the friendships he allegedly has developed with world leaders”
Those leaders quickly sized this guy up as a chump. He has done nothing to earn their respect.
” he depises America just as much as his buddies William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.”
They’re really two very small fish. Obama’s strings are being pulled by a giant white shark named SOROS. There is the easily explicable reason....
Correct. Obama’s agenda is clearly aimed at deconstructing America but he and his devious grand plan are thankfully losing momentum. He’s in very big political trouble.
A big time dis by the Russkies. He is a chump in their eyes and indeed the rest of the world’s leaders have come to the same conclusion. Obama has done nothing to earn their respect.
Obama lies. Obama is incompetent. Three words, America!!! Impeach Obama NOW!!!
For an explanation" read "The Roots of Obama's Rage". It will clear it up for you.
he’s toast—first in the midterm elections, then on the world stage.
Worst Prez since Jimmy Carter.
is intentional.....remember the Puppet Master...
OMG!!! HOW embarrasing!!!! Wow!
You are so right about Soros. I truly feel he’s the antichrist. Used to think it was BO but he’s too stupid. Soros is smart like a fox and evil.
I could never have imagined living long enough to see a president out-carter carter.
