Our allies are moving to cut spending and debt at the same time Obama urges them to party on!
President Barack Obama, right, stands beside French President Nicolas Sarkozy and other G8 Leaders during a family photo with African Outreach Leaders during the G8 Summit at the Deerhurst Resort in Hunstville, Ontario, Canada, Friday, June 25, 2010.
With U.S. Gross Domestic Product being revised significantly downward and our high unemployment rate well above that of our nearest neighbor Canada, you would think Obama might listen to how our friends and allies are responding to the global economic crisis. But it seems that just as he endlessly lectures Americans, he is in Toronto lecturing our friends on a subject where it might be better if he said nothing and listened.
The New American puts it so well:
Obama Odd Man Out at Summit
by Bruce Walker
Friday, 25 June 2010Barack Obama arrived on Friday in Toronto for the G-8 and G-20 economic summits. This summit comes amid an unprecedented explosion of red ink in America from an approach to sluggish economies that Obama is recommending to other industrial nations.
Other nations, notably Germany, Japan, Britain, and France, intend to move in the other direction, reducing their government deficits by reducing expenditures. Two years ago the leaders of these nations supported “pump priming” as a solution to the financial crisis caused by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a giant American investment bank. Now these leaders believe that more government spending will make things worse.

True - but prefer stopping on the third word in the title: Out
The sooner the better...
U.S. President Barack Obama listens to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (R) as he watches a live telecast of the 2010 World Cup soccer match between the U.S. and Ghana during a short break between bilateral meetings with South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak and China's President Hu Jintao at the G20 Summit in Toronto June 26, 2010.
Doesn’t he look good? His smile is so nice.
Maybe he should go on some more late night comedy shows, play some basketball with soldiers (only if they give him a good photo op), his wife can be on the food network, magazine covers, etc etc etc. ****All form, no function.****
No one respects 0bama ! Just like the video when he went to Russia that no one wanted to shake hands with him. Talk about being dissed big time ! The man has no ****s !
Man Child in the Broken Promise Land
This time, no one is opening the door, even if he’s knocking?

“Obama then proceeded to a multilateral meeting with the Europeans and Ethiopia. A couple of the staff went up to check out the room where the 7 p.m. meeting was to occur with Premier Wen. There they find a multilateral meeting ongoing between Premier Wen, Singh, and Lula! They inform the President of the fact that the room is not yet vacant because the four are meeting. Obama, obviously somewhat perturbed, replies, “Good,” and has the delegation move up to the room where they were meeting. They then started to move the press pool to that location, as well as the President. The pool reporter notes that Obama, at the door or entering the room, said, “Are you ready for me? Are you ready?”

I understand the leaders at the Toronto Meeting ridiculed Obama behind his back.
In Kenya, they brag that one of their native sons is “ruling” America.

Notice that he always stands a little bit apart from the others in these group shots? Either he doesn’t have any friends, or he thinks he’s better than the rest of them.
Obama's like the dad who, upon getting fired, uses his severance payout to take the family on an expensive vacation to Hawaii.
He's the fool who is soon parted with his money...except he's spending our money and not his own.
Not only does he lack good old fashioned common sense, he just doesn't get economics (you can look at his silly ear-to-ear grin and tell he is oblivious to the gravity of the issues at the G-20).
He has never had to work for a living. Money has always been made available by his benefactors. He just doesn't understand what the "little people" go through.
"It's not a game, Obama."
Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and sent to Gitmo to rot with his muslim buddies.
I’ve read that Sarkozy thinks obama is nuts- like, really “insane” nuts
Hi Jersey girl. I would love to see a link to a story on this if you know of any.
That's probably 20+ years of smoking crack that your're seeing.
I get the feeling that BO was ALWAYS the odd man out. You can just tell.
Didn’t fit in with his father’s family cause his mother was white.
Didn’t fit in with his mother’s family because his father was black.
Didn’t fit in in Indonesia cause he didn’t speak the language.
Didn’t fit in in Hawaii because of his funny name and big ears
And so on and so on.
Barry is completely unique.
B.O. has looked really, really weird lately. His eyes seem glazed and dilated, and he grins like a chimp at the most inappropriate times that don’t CALL for a grin. He does not make sense when he speaks, but just strings vague words together even more than he usually does. Honestly, I wonder what is going on?
I’ve watched the Kroft interview multiple times, and B.O.’s behavior is so incongruent to the grave matter at hand (banks IIRC).
