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.

It’s easy to say no to a wimp.
Obama could not lead a chain gang if it were chained to him.
You can't get people to do something they don't want to do unless you force them to or bribe them to, or use a combination thereof.
It’s easy to say “No” to someone you laugh at and have no respect for.
Someone wiser than I said that diplomacy is the art of saying “nice doggy” while grabbing a stick. The whole world knows obama is too much of a wuss to use a stick.
Too bad the American people didn’t say NO to him last November. It sure would have save us all this trouble.
They know that Obama is a weak liberal globalist.
It is much easier to deal with foreign leaders when you are not afraid to turn their lands into a nuclear waste site in ten minutes.
Weak, feel-good, liberal globalism is not going to work with leaders of nations who give a rat’s behind what rights their own people have.
Everyone in the world figured out he was pansy-ass pushover right after THE BOW’.
Why is Everyone saying no to Obama?.....
Because he’s never heard the word.....
‘Cause “He’s a jackass.”
EveryOne Responds:
Because,
Yes, We Can!
It has nothing to do with the economy.
It’s easy to say no to a spineless appeaser.

Many, many years ago I used to work for a finance company in their collection dept. and used to have a sign on my desk that said “Diplomacy Dept. I do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way.”
Exactly! 0bama is not leader. Never has been. Never will be. He is a marxist puppet, and his novelty is wearing off fast, even for those that supported him.
Don’t tell our MSM they will be devastated. They think the world loves us again because 0bama is king.
