President Barack Obama on Sunday hailed the prospect of a new settlement freeze in the disputed West Bank as a promising step toward peace, urging Israelis and Palestinians to get back into serious negotiations quickly.
An upbeat president also pledged to return to the basic principles that drove his thinking when he first came to the White House, including sticking to a more bipartisan tone and better explaining his decisions to the American people. He spoke of moving from an "obsessive focus" on policy and making changes to his approach after a humbling midterm election.
"The fact that we are out of crisis -- although still obviously in a difficult time -- I think will give me the capacity," Obama told reporters aboard Air Force One at the end of long Asia trip....

OBAMA [audio clip]: The United States obviously has a special role to play on the international stage. Regardless of who is president, we are a very large, very wealthy, very powerful country. We have had outsized influence over world affairs...
RUSH: Did you hear that?
OBAMA: ...for a century now.
RUSH: Did you hear that?
OBAMA: And you are now seeing a situation in which a whole host of other countries are doing very well and coming into their own, and naturally they are going to be more assertive in terms of their interests and ideas, and that's a healthy thing.
RUSH: The US "had outsized influence over world affairs for a century now." This is our president at an economic summit of the 20 most powerful economic countries, and he's telling the world that we have had "an outsized influence over world affairs for a century now," and it's been time that stopped! It's good that these other countries are "coming into their own, be more assertive in terms of their interests and ideas. It's a healthy thing" that we are in decline. It's a healthy thing that we are no longer the number one influence. Could he put it any plainer? Who among you can still doubt that Obama is secretly pleased with America's diminished position in the world, that he is happily presiding over the decline? He is thrilled at having our wings clipped! You can't say it any plainer. He can't say it any plainer than emphasized said it in this meeting and in recent meetings.

That’s a short trip. He won’t make it out of his driveway.
He’s back just in time to pardon the Thanksgiving turkey.
Will it be named Nancy or Harry?
He’s just got to explain things better to us dumb folks. Maybe we’ll like obamacare if he expains it to us reeaaaall sloooowwwww. Maybe with help from Susan Collins.
How in the world did this individual become the chief magistrate of the United States?
Upbeat? Maybe he left Moochelle behind.
( Made an ass of himself in terms of etiquette and dress, forced the Japanese to treat hm as a child.....which they did..Obama-chan....the laughing stock of Japan.)
(Yeah he should be up beat, he still doesn't know he had been had.The Japanese are SO smooth.Kudos to them!!!)
He should be rested , he never works.
freshly medicated
or upt his dosage.
I saw an unconfirmed report that Sasquach left a day earlier on her own. Anyone know anything about that?
Him and MO always dress like they are on they way to a yard sale.
Just who they are.
Never had a job. No military. I don’t think they know how to dress appropriately. They never had to.
In addition, it is a muslim thing, and just another way to stick it to America.
I believe these guys really deeply hate America, and the whole wild clothing and the no tie thing, is just another way of showing us all disrespect. IMO
Interesting how the Jpanese copped to it right away, and the gave Obama the child treatment...OBAMA-Chan ( Not Obama samma)
He’s upbeat because he’s still the POTUS...and a veto pen...a lameduck session to cash in on, and marches on with his agenda.
Upbeat or beat up?
It take a lot to bring a good narcissist down...
He’s a addict. It’s not to hard to see that. Look at his eyes when he speaks.Look at him when he walks when he thinks the camera isn’t on him. He also looks like he weighs about 120 pounds and losing more everyday.
Mass stupidity?
What would YOU do with a guy who bounces down the steps of Air Force One like a pre-teen on ritalin?
Of COURSE the Japanese treated him like the adolescent he is.
