Obama's Economic View Rejected on World Stage
The Mercury News ^ | Nov. 11, 2010

Posted on 11/13/2010 11:50:46 AM PST by T.L.Sink

Obama's hopes of emerging from his Asia trip with the twin victories of a free-trade agreement with South Korea and a unified approach to spurring global economic growth ran into resistance on all fronts. Obama's meeting with China's president, Hu Jintao, appeared to do little to break down Chinese resistance to accepting even nonbinding numerical targets for limiting China's trade surplus. [Obama ran from a domestic election disaster to a disaster abroad. Both were of his own making. Even Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews, despite their best efforts, couldn't spin away these stunning failures at home and abroad.]

I'm sure Obama is searching diligently through the diplomatic archives to find evidence that these failures are really George Bush's fault.

Obama has no economic view.

All he has is a jumble of contradictory leftist dreams and fantasies that will never accord with reality

When one is looking at the back end of the horse, the smart person knows to watch where they are walking. (o)bama on the other hand with his nose in the air continually, will just step in horse dung.

I wonder if he began all of his meetings with other world leaders with the phrase: I Won? He constantly reminds me of a kid who just pulled some trinket out of a box of Cracker Jacks and believes it was put there just for him because he is special.

Lastly, the fact this clown was elected here makes me wonder about the intelligence of the majority of the American voters.

“Lastly, the fact this clown was elected here makes me wonder about the intelligence of the majority of the American voters.”

It’s sad to see how many got manipulated by hype and irrelevant symbolism.

Let’s hope that lesson has been learned now by enough Americans to matter long term.

Sadly many Americans tend to have a short political memory.

Absolutely. I think it was a German minister who said Bambi was "clueless". I think that sums it up nicely.

Rejected at home. Rejected around the world.

It’s so hard to be the person we’ve all been waiting for.

And it is still hard to believe this fraud won, even when half of this nation KNEW THIS BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!
Rush is right when he says, “Ignorance is the most expensive commodity in America!”

The world-level rejection is a good thing. It will help more than many realize.

Everything Obama knows about economics is limited to what he has learned from watching Montgomery Burns on the Simpsons.

I know what you mean. I couldn’t believe any president could embarrass us more in less time than Jimmy Carter. He’s done it!

I kinow what you guys mean. We were told about his twenty years close association with hate-monger Pastor Wright, his association with terrorist Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, and other America-hating extremists. We knew about his friendship with (now jailed) Syrian swindler Tony Rezko with whom he was involved in a real estate scam to acquire his home property. We knew of his close ties as a community organizer with corrupt Chicago machine-thug politics. We knew he had no real experience except a short time in the state legislature voting “present” and 150 days in the Senate, nearly all of which were spent campaigning. We knew he had very little experience and what little he had was all bad. It makes one cynical enough to agree with H.L. Mencken: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” I guess we deserve what we got.

That pretty much puts it in a nutshell. “This isn’t right. It isn’t even wrong.”

Well, half the country deserves what IT got. The rest of us, the ones that stood and screamed at the moon that this was a HORRIBLE mistake with undefinable consequences, did not and do not deserve what we got. The others should be made to pay for it. Somehow.

You make a good point but in a democracy the minority always suffers when the majority makes bad decisions. To me, it only proves the point that Jefferson and the Founding Fathers made when they insisted that the democratic republic they gave us can only survive if citizens take the time and effort to inform and educate themselves about the candidates and issues. On a brighter note, the recent election results indicate that voters are waking up. If so, better late than never! Regards,
