Well, at least today Honduras is going to elect their President, and Mr. Obama will have to respect the WILL OF THE PEOPLE....

I think the term that is used to day is “epic failure”... and for Zero, add the latest one to his growing list of failures.

You begin to get the idea that Zero and his close staff are extremely obtuse. There are no pro's in this crowd at all.

My prediction has not changed, by October of 2010 you won't be able to find a Democratic pol other than a Schumer or Pelosi who would be seen with him. He will be toxic.

From the article: “Right now Wall Street, Alan Greenspan and the Chicago-school of market mania has so undercut America’s standing in Asia by the horrible recession they caused, that even President Obama’s popularity couldn’t overcome it’s negative impact.”

I think the author is not blaming Obama so much as free enterprise. Note his use of the words “Chicago-school of market mania”. What utter nonsense! The four tigers of Asia: Honk Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan have been successful in no small part to “Chicago-school believe in free markets and free minds”. Much of the success of China and India has been due to “Chicago style economics”. Our failures have been because we moved away from that school of economics.

Are you sure he’s blaming Obama?

Thank you very much for being our go-between with the news services over there.

I have about 3 seconds of pity for Obama and what he must have to think about before he goes to bed every night knowing full well that he is the laughingstock of all world leaders, the buffoon of Terra.

Question, did we ever see any reports about any trips by George W. Bush being a failure? Just curious because I really don’t remember.

But but but but, he did get to walk on the Wall.

All alone by himself. Isn’t that just wonderful.

I think this is the first edition of Business Week owned by Bloomberg. The bias of Business Week up until last week was pro-Obama and pro-new business taxes. A lot of the old left-biased Business Week reporters didn’t make the cut.

This is sad, very sad. I've blogged and written about this countless times over the years.

Start reading here --

Osama Bin Laden's Useful Idiots

The fallout of Obama's visit is hitting heavy now in diplomatic circles here in SE Asia.

Expect to hear a lot more in the next few weeks and months ahead but lets say that Singapore was not impressed with America's first affirmative action president.

In some circles over here, Bush might not have been liked, but he was respected. Obama wants desperately to be liked and he has failed even at that.

If you want to come to Asia and find a few kindred spirits to share your admiration for Michael Moore's faux brand of patriotism, you will. Your hosts will smile and listen to you rant on about your hatred of Bush. That's the really nice thing about Asians, they will smile and nod their head as you go on and then when you leave they will laugh and think you are a complete looney toon. Sadly many Americans seem to interpret this small cultural courtesy as agreement.

President Obama changed his travel plans at the last minute forcing the Japanese Prime Minister and the Emperor to change their arrangements. The Prime Minister forced Obama to wait in his limo for five minutes before greeting him. The Prime Minister brought his cabinet for substantive discussion while Obama brought nobody important. The Prime Minister then left Japan while Obama was still on Japanese soil searching for someone to offer an apology or a bow. We should be better.

Any “curious” posting in the Japanese reading of the “Wow Bow” might be a valuable revalation to US. If there is please by all means post it...Thank You

Tell it to Deng Xiaoping. Freedom? Who needs it? Capitalism? Now there's an idea! (as long as they genuflect before the Party as they laugh all the way to the bank)
