World 3, Obama 0 (Bob Maginnis calls Obama a Diplomatic Tourist)
Human Events ^ | 4/20/2009 | Robert Maginnis

President Obama’s two overseas trips -- Europe and Latin America -- make him appear more like a diplomatic tourist than the leader of the free world. He met heads of state, made speeches, attended summits, conducted town hall meetings, but accomplished nothing that furthers U.S. interests abroad.

Obama’s agenda -- described succinctly by his spokesmen on the eve of each trip -- was shut out by the leaders with whom he met.

Obama’s only accomplishment is to portray himself as a chameleon-like leader who takes an anti-American tone to please his foreign hosts.

Presidential candidate Obama promised to demonstrate a new tone for international relations.

Obammy definitely has a different Modus Operandi. I am confused.

He is too friendly for me

For a while I thought he was the AntiChrist on one extreme and the Forrest Gump of politics on the other.

I am still at sea...
