Charles Krauthammer: It's Your Country Too, Mr. President
Washington Post ^

. . .
I'm not against gift-giving in international relations. But it would be nice to see some reciprocity. Obama was in a giving mood throughout Europe. While Gordon Brown was trying to make his American DVDs work and the queen was rocking to her new iPod, the rest of Europe was enjoying a more fulsome Obama gift.
Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.
And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country? He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans. He was rudely rebuffed.
He wanted more stimulus spending from Europe. He got nothing.
From Russia, he got no help on Iran. From China, he got the blocking of any action on North Korea.

That’s a good summary and analysis of the Pretender in Chief to date. They may get a dog yet though. Barry is good at taquiya.(sp?) I think he eats pork and drinks booze without flinching.

Doesn’t seem to like the Christian moral tradition at the foundation of American culture either.No, he doesn't seem to think it exists.
