America’s Wounded Ally India is annoyed by Obama.

Indian diplomats close to Singh say the lackluster results show how far the relationship has fallen since Bill Clinton and the two Bushes transformed a strained Cold War rivalry into a close strategic partnership between the world's largest democracies. Obama's predecessors built a relationship around trade negotiations, joint military exercises, and ad hoc coalitions for humanitarian assistance in the aftermath of the Indonesia tsunami. Despite his reputation for uniquely pushy diplomacy, it was George W. Bush who concluded the landmark deal that recognized India as a legitimate nuclear power and opened the door to the sale of civilian nuclear technology to India. No single American move has done more to demonstrate Washington's respect for New Delhi as a rising and equal power. Now Obama, who came to office promising to respect U.S. allies, is backpedaling on that deal, to the growing chagrin of the Indians.

Now Obama, who came to office promising to respect U.S. allies, is backpedaling on that deal, to the growing chagrin of the Indians.

Here is Obama's rule of thumb: Is it of advantage to the United States with respect to other nations or of advantage to the American people with respect to the federal government? The eff it; eff it hard; eff it repeatedly; eff it until it stops, goes away, or dies.

Gee, why would The Great Genius snub India like he’s snubbed Britain and a host of other loyal allies? Just a mystery isn’t it? Could it be He Who Has Come To Save The Planet is in way over his head? But I remember news stories right after President Teleprompter was elected of how overjoyed Indians were that America had elected “a person of color” instead of another detestable white male. The moral of the story for all these foreigners: be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. And with Obama you’ll be getting it in the back. A knife that is.

A dildo is useful, our president is not.

Who isn’t annoyed by Obama?

India should have known what to expect with a rakshasha in the White House.

I’m not sure Obama is any more Muslim than Bush is.
