Everybody is saying no to the American president these days. And it's not just that they're saying no, it's also the way they're saying no.
The Saudis twice said no to his request for normalization gestures towards Israel (at Barack Obama's meeting with King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia, and in Washington at meetings with Hillary Clinton). Who says no to the American president twice? What must they think of Obama in the desert kingdom?
The North Koreans said no to repeated attempts at talks, by test-launching long-range missiles in April; Russia and China keep on saying no to tougher sanctions on Iran; the Iranians keep saying no to offers of talks by saying they're willing to talk about everything except a halt to uranium enrichment; Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is saying no by refusing to meet with Binyamin Netanyahu until Israel freezes all settlement construction; the Israelis said no by refusing to agree to a settlement freeze, or even a settlement moratorium until and unless the Arabs ante up their normalization gestures. Which brings us back to the original Saudi no.
The only thing Obama did manage to get Bibi and Abbas to say yes to is a photo-op at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in NY. Mazel tov.
It's the economy, stupid.

Obama couldn’t lead a two car funeral.
Yep the ultimate EEO/AA inductee to shame the Ivy League commies...BO could not even handle a job at the Post Office or DMV and we got him running the country. PC, Social Justice/Communism and Diversity must be destroyed!
It’s clearly racism

I’d follow if he was the guest of honor, only in order to drain my bladder, otherwise...
Too bad the American people didn’t say NO to him last November. It sure would have save us all this trouble.

Aint *that* the truth.
“President Obama is considered weak.”
And an arrogant idiot who expects the world leaders like Putin to bow down to him and his politically correct glory.
Dewd, itz abut Hiztory!
