Obama Suffers Setbacks in Japan and the Mideast
NY Times ^ | 4/24/14 | MARK LANDLER and JODI RUDOREN

Obama encountered setbacks to two of his most cherished foreign-policy projects on Thursday, as he failed to achieve a trade deal that undergirds his strategic pivot to Asia and the Middle East peace process suffered a potentially irreparable breakdown.

For the NY Slimes, it is all about Obama. He is suffering, according to the headline.

Notice, they didn't say he FAILED. Nope. The PM of Japan failed. Others fail, and inflict suffering upon the genius prompter reading man child.

I guess he expected adulation from the whole world. The fact is, unlike his worshipers in the States, the rest of the world isn’t all that fixated on him. In fact, they think he’s a weakling and an idiot.

I agree with them.

Guess I’ll have to read “The Daily Mail” or some other British press to find out what really happened.

the Middle East peace process suffered a potentially irreparable breakdown.

Uh yeah, that would be because the palestinians were
his partner. Bwhahahahah.

I have watched for 50 years as the Israelis have
made efforts at peace only to be attacked endlessly,
continually, viciously, no matter how much land they
gave up, or how many terrorists they release.

Enough is enough.

You nailed it on the head. If only everyone else would just follow his lead, the oceans will stop rising and the world will live as one . . . Imagine!

And the New York Times suffered a MAJOR setback with their push for Ukrainian and Obama administration propaganda?:

If the Democrat Party does not broom Obama...by forcing him to resign or throwing him out of office, the upcoming mid-term elections will be a devastating loss of political power for the Democrat Party for many years to come!!!

I used to post and make light of the Dems doing this....getting rid of Obama....but now......he is failing with every thing he touches. He is incapable of leading anything!!! Absolutely useless.....across the board!!!

Shows how the Slimes is in the tank for Obama.

BTW, I did the New York Times article that I listed, but not the Consortium news one.

Have at it with the Consortium news piece. Sounds good to me.

Notice that it is all about Obama personally. Forget about the implications for America.

That’s odd, huh, because until now he’s been a resounding success. /s Thanks SoFloFreeper.

I don't see why they would be considered kooks.

HuffPo isn’t allowed on FR, and a couple of times in the past there was 1 or 2 scathing anti-Obama pieces on there that I wanted to post here (a little didide-and-conquer never hurts).

So, I really have no idea why...

Consortium News has been riding roughshod on the New York Times - so I don't know why it isn't allowed.

Sometimes I think Obama is incapable of leading, because he has never been a leader or manager or executive.

Obama’s very first management or executive job is his current job as president. He never had any previous experience in his whole life as a manager or executive.

I think this accounts for his voting present as a legislator, and his waffling and indecision on the world stage. He’s not comfortable leading, taking positions, arguing or persuading for his position.

What is he waiting for? When is he going to play the race card?
