They can keep him.
Talk about spin...he didn’t “wow” them. And his speech sounded quite a bit like one of his campaign speeches...long on appeal to place in history and devoid of details.
If the U.N. is happy about America, real Americans should be unhappy. If the U.N. is unhappy about America, real Americans should be thrilled.
BAD
If you are hired to run a store in the ‘hood, a quick way to become popular with your neighbors is to apologize for the owner’s high prices, and then give everything in the store away to them for free.
You might be surprised when the owner gets wise to the cause of your newfound popularity and fires you, however.
Of COURSE Hussein was a big hit at the UN. After all, he hates the United States as much as THEY do!
“For his part, Obama did expunge the cowboy diplomacy of his predecessor.” And, he replaced it with Chicago style machine politics with all its corruption.
Translation: Obama's hatred for America resonates with the envious masses worldwide.
That's because YOU DON'T LIVE HERE!
A pushover is always popular for a while.
You foreign assholes want him, you can have him. We’ve seen more than enough of his ‘handiwork’.
People act as if anti-Americanism began because of George W. Bush and it should go away because Obama is the anti-Bush. In fact it’s been around for ages. I ran across a passing reference to anti-Americanism by a British scholar in something published in 1963 (so maybe written a year or two earlier), as if it was a well-known phenomenon in Europe at that time.
Dictators that play together, stay together.
Obozo attempted to make a joke about how his 9 months in office often feels like a lot more. There was zero laughter from the UN assembly. Contrast that with how our media would have busted a gut at that comment. I’m not so sure that Obozo has the world eating out of his hand. More like they see him as someone they can manipulate to their ends, which is why they like him as opposed to Bush.
Let’s stop pretending that GWB was some kind of a conservative hero.
‘Cuz he wasn’t.
So he’s loved by the “Dictator Protection Agency”? It’s a badge of shame...
The reason the UN like Obama and not bush is easy.
When Obama addresses the UN all of the foreign dignitaries are thinking to themselves “This guy is such a pushover, We can get what ever we want from the US, I think We are going to like this next 4 years”
When Bush addressed the UN the foreign dignitaries were thinking, “Man this guy is tough, this sucks he is not going to let us get away with screwing the US at all, It’s going to be a long 4 years.”
“To Nile Gardiner of London’s Daily Telegraph, Obamas popularity at the U.N. “boils down essentially to his willingness to downplay American global power.”
Ah, the world loves us because we are willing to become as weak as they are. At least they openly admit it.
Translation: He'll give us free American money, and demand nothing in return but a photo-op!
I'm not Pres. Bush, either. Suppose I'd get a standing 'O'?
