... and why would that be?

Shellacked at home, shellacked abroad. President Obama's Asia trip is extending a losing streak with the latest setback - a refusal by other major financial powers to follow his lead to revive the global economy.
The president's nostrums, which began with a call for stimulus-style pump priming by other nations, had evolved into a plan to ease wild swings in currency values and overboard trade imbalances. But he got next to nothing in showdown meetings with other leaders of the G-20 nations, or major economic powers. U.S. leadership, once taken for granted, has all but vanished, and no one's in charge.

It’s hard to follow a guy who is stooped over, bowing to potentates, leaving his backside free for other potentates to stick it to him (us). Maybe he enjoys it.
It’s impossible to ignore. The rest of the world has figured out this guy is full of it. Obama is about to have a difficult 2 years unless comes back to the center.
Can he get most Democrats to follow his lead?
MEMO to the OBAMA-BOTS: The G-20 won’t follow Obama’s lead because they understand what you do not— The One is an incompetent boob!
... and why would that be?
This, my friends, is known as The Peter Principle.
If nobody follows you, are you still a leader?
No it is not. You have to be competent at something first before you can rise to your level of incompetence.
I didn’t see any pro Obama remarks in the comments section.
HaS our image abroad been restored yet?
This lack of respect for a US President will damage American prestige and interests for decades.
But, hey - who cares?/s
Follow his lead? I don’t trust that clown to successfully walk and chew gum at the same time.
Wow. First the New York Times, and now the San Francisco Chronicle. Obama can scarcely handle criticism from the right, but criticism from the left has got to be making him psychotic.
2010 election ~ Historic Fail
Far East Tour ~ Historic Fail
Lame Duck debate on the Bush Tax Cuts ~ Failing
He may as well just party on his last stop in Japan. Perhaps that’s the one thing he can pull off without falling flat on his face.
You just know that he and his cabinet have to be dreading the return home. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is working for this guy. Everything he touches turns to crap. The Democrat party machine must be turning itself inside out, trying to figure out what to do to stop this ongoing disaster called Obama.
In Obama's world, he's already in the center. A move right on his part would only get him to the mainstream left. To get to the actual political "center", he'd have to leave his world entirely. He can't, and he won't do it.
Oh, I'm sure he was perfectly competent as an academic lecturer. He'd have his notes in order, know what he wanted to cover, and drone on before a captive audience for an hour or two a day... I could see him being good at that.
How so many could be so dumb and gullible to fall for the hype and lies that Obama and his socialistic progressives spoon fed them is a tragedy. For so many there was no concern about the consequences of electing this man of no capabilities or experience.
To his adoring fans supporting Obama was a game. They pitted their emotions against the logic of the opposing views and the clear, documented ugly truths about his background, friends, agenda, intentions, etc. that were all questionable and all anti-American. They considered anything negative was either "racist" or political propaganda and slime.
His stupefied and mesmerized followers just wanted to win and would not even consider the facts that were before them about his total incompetency and his hate for America/whites/our Constitution and freedoms that Obama clearly professed through his own books, speeches, anti-American associates, and actions. They voted based on their emotions. Now, it is their emotions of dismay, fear, depression, anxiety, disappointment, etc. that they are experiencing...all because of Obama - a fraud of a man whose inability to be a leader and whose ever constant need to remain encased in the fog of narcissistic dysfunction has, in two years, relegated America to the lowest level of significance it has ever had as a world power.
See if the Sunday news show touch this Titanic trip to Asia.
Other nations are beginning to see that he’s an idiot.
