Remember all Obama's talk during last year's presidential campaign about improving our relations with other nations? Well, today, President Obama gave a huge slap in the face to Poland and the Czech Republic, two allies who went out on a limb to support U.S. plans for a missile defense shield needed ever more so in an era when Iran and North Korea are threatening the world with these dangerous weapons.News comes on the 70th Anniversary of Soviet Invasion of Poland in WWII!The move is a transparent bid to appease Russia, which continues to refuse every plea that it help us in defusing the threat of Iran's development of nuclear weapons.
This action undermines our credibility throughout the world. What national leader will risk the political fallout of working with us in the future on difficult projects like missile defense if we simply turn around and run when a Democrat takes over the White House?

Let us hope this all catches up with the DemoRats in 2010. The world cannot afford the Obama administration and its ideologies.
Okay. If BHO can do this with a wave of his magic wand, why can’t our next President do the same with all the crap legislation and executive orders passed by the current administration?
Hey Starman417:
Nice post.
I noticed that Rush started out today mentioning some of the headlines on this in Europe but I can’t seem to find it.
Ahh, remember the halcyon days during the presidential race when all those international polls showed a glowing approval of The ONE??
How much good he would do for international relations from that bumbling cowboy hick POTUS from Texas??
Remember the fawning slavishness from the international community??
Well, I do, and all I have to say to the world is this: How’s The ONE workin’ out for ya????
American is reaping we sowed, and so, too, will the rest of the world.
I'd like to know what the (over/under) odds are that we will still be here in November of 2010.
“Pootie-Poot” is all smiles today. Once again, zero, the dimwit, plays right into his hands.
Obama thinks it would be unfair to restrict the ability of states like Russia and Iran to employ nuclear blackmail to bully their neighbors.
The Czecs are pizzed....to say the least:

Eastern Europe betrayed again.
Obama is an equal opportunity failure - domestically and internationally.
If this steady retreat and scrambling does not break the US as a world power, then what will? Of course we may end up with a much shorter line for defense of Fortress America, but if there is STILL no gumption to defend even that shortened perimeter, it will make no difference in the eventual outcome - the United States becomes a number of balkanized nations, some of which sustain a strong defense, others of which become vassals of foreign powers.
The American experiment may be nearly over, failed because of lack of will.
But we know it CAN work, because it worked so remarkably well for so long before. While it may be a little fragmented now, it can be built into a working model for the whole world again.
Time for a Redeclaration of Independence, and reiteration of the terms of the US Constitution, deleting the 16th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 23, and 26th Amendments, as meaningless and contrary to the intent of the rest of the Constitution.
