A foreign policy of penance has won America no friends. By FOUAD AJAMI
'He talks too much," a Saudi academic in Jeddah,...
It was the norm for American liberalism during the Bush years to brandish the Pew Global Attitudes survey that told of America's decline in the eyes of foreign nations.
... 2009 bring findings from the world of Islam that confirm that the animus toward America has not been radically changed by the ascendancy of Mr. Obama. In the Palestinian territories, 15% have a favorable view of the U.S. while 82% have an unfavorable view. The Obama speech in Ankara didn't seem to help in Turkey, where the favorables are 14% and those unreconciled, 69%. In Egypt, a country that's reaped nearly 40 years of American aid, things stayed roughly the same: 27% have a favorable view of the U.S. while 70% do not. In Pakistan, a place of great consequence for American power, our standing has deteriorated: The unfavorables rose from 63% in 2008 to 68% this year.

This song is as old as Barry is...
Momma Stan Ann probably sang it to him...
You Talk Too Much
(Joe Jones and Reginald Hall)
You talk too much
You worry me to death
You talk too much
You even worry my pet
You just talk
Talk too much
You talk about people
That you don’t know
You talk about people
Wherever you go
You just talk
Talk too much
You talk about people
That you’ve never seen
You talk about people
You can make me scream
You just talk
you talk too much
[Instrumental Interlude]
You talk too much
You worry me to death
You talk too much
You even worry my pet
You just talk
Talk too much
You talk about people
That you don’t know
You talk about people
Wherever you go
You just talk
Talk too much
You talk about people
That you’ve never seen
You talk about people
You can make me scream
His other tribal Indian name: Dances with Party Crashers.

Good job, Barry. You campaigned on the idea that you could change the world’s opinion of the US. You succeeded.
They used to fear us. Now they laugh at us.
“They used to fear us. Now they laugh at us.”
Kind of like my beloved Chicago Bears. *sob*
All of his speeches are about him in some odd twisted way. He references himself or some alleged past experience, even to a point of non-relevancy.

There is nothing a liberal elitist loves more than the sound of his own voice.
Joe Jones, 1960:
On his first apology tour of Arabia, the Bummer shared a highly suspect narrative of Arab history. It could be they don’t want the “compliments.”
Only other narcissists enjoy pandering.
"...No one told Mr. Obama that the Islamic world, where American power is engaged and so dangerously exposed, it is considered bad form, nay a great moral lapse, to speak ill of one's own tribe when in the midst, and in the lands, of others."
"...but in the privacy of their own language they doubtless wondered about his character and his fidelity. 'My brother and I against my cousin, my cousin and I against the stranger,' goes one of the Arab world's most honored maxims. The stranger who came into their midst and spoke badly of his own was destined to become an object of suspicion."
