Asia trip tests Obama's postelection global clout

[W.]

I’d say the victory is being well-savored. And as far as the AP’s cheap shot, feh upon them! Toss their sour grapes in the pile, we’ll make vinegar whine for the dems!

[Iron Munro]

we’ll make vinegar whine for the dems!

Dems could open a whine and sleaze bar.

[Iron Munro]

You NEVER hear the objectives of his travels. How can you measure clout or success? Number of State dinners? Golf rounds?

King Opie is trying to rack up more frequent flyer miles than Hillary or Moochie.

But it will be almost impossible to acomplish.

[COBOL2Java]

Heh, when you’ve shown your ass to the world as much as 0 has, it’s impossible to hide!

Hold on! Are we talking about Barry, or Michelle?

[MasterGunner01]

The folks in Asia know Barry is a lame duck and the 2014 election was a disaster for him politically. Moreover, he is perceived as a weakling. Why should they pay him serious attention, other than make nice noises? That's about all he's going to get are nice noises. The smart folks in Asia know that Obama is lying when his lips are moving.

[W.]

Barri is all ass, but he’s got no ass, and when he’s compared to buffalo butt he totally looks like a twig boy!

[W.]

Yep all he’ll get is lip service, and not the good kind, either! Only cheap talk, befitting the walking has-been from America... When the scales finally drop from his eyes and reality sinks in, he’s gonna so implode. Neither history or the world will be kind, much more against him and the level will be close to a Hitler-esque revulsion at either sight or mention, and nobody can live with that, there’s no way that I can see, anyway...

[Olog-hai]

The clout he actively destroyed over six years.

[Billthedrill]

International clout? There hasn't been a President in memory who has been less effective, less knowledgeable, less qualified to carry the flag in foreign countries than Barack Hussein 0bama. Here is a fellow who has consistently apologized for his country, has stated on numerous occasions that it is imperialistic, racially oppressive, and in dire need of "transformation", has alienated many of our most loyal international friends and encouraged people whose entire philosophy revolves around anti-Americanism. This is not clout. 0bama has no clout.

[Olog-hai]

What, the Chinese students laughing at Geithner over five years ago wasn’t clue enough?

[dfwgator]

[Verginius Rufus]

I wouldn’t give that paper high marks for its understanding of America. It thinks Obama’s problems are largely because of his race.

[MasterGunner01]

When the world came crashing down on der Führer, he became a sociopath that ordered SS death squads to summarily execute anyone who was a “defeatist”. As the Russians were fighting in the streets of Berlin, many Berliners took shelter in the U-Bahn (subway). Hitler ordered the subway flooded and the waters from the River Spree drowned 100,000 people. As the Russians closed on the Führer’s Bunker, he shot himself and his wife/mistress Eva Braun took cyanide.

Is this the Götterdämmerung, Barack Obama is seeking for America?

[Tamarack]

Obama the Communist fancies himself as powerful as Pres Xi Jinping. I wonder if his trip will include asking Xi Jinping for advice on how to “handle” the masses that voted against him and perhaps asking his help by sending more Chinese soldiers to the U.S. for “training,” only in larger numbers and under his command. This is one of the reasons he and his minions do not listen to the American people; they are emulating the Chinese model of Communist rule.

His ego needs stroking and perhaps “father” Xi Jinping can do that and offer him strategies for dealing with we American revolutionaries.

Heads up folks.

We also need close scrutiny of this new Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty before its adoption. SENATE: Are you listening? Remember NAFTA. We lost many, many jobs because of that one. Don’t get sucked into another one.

[GAgal]

“Republicans tend to support trade deals as a way to boost the U.S. economy, and GOP leaders have spoken positively about giving Obama the power to submit a final deal to an up-or-down vote, preventing last-minute amendments that could sink it.”

That sounds pretty savvy to me, as BOzo is incapable of producing/submitting to Congress any deal or plan, trade or otherwise, with only his bony fingerprints on it and no one else to blame.

[skeeter]

ABC made it sound like China was going all out to welcome The Won with a massive welcoming ceremony.

On the same day other news outlets like the Financial Times are reporting China's not so veiled contempt for him.

The MSM is gonna drag this POS across the finish line if it means their own undoing.

[W.]

Other than his inner circle of ass-kissers, I don't think he's got that kind of support. I would hope about the time he orders something blatantly illegal, he would be stopped in his tracks by those in power who would do so. I could be wrong, but I hope not.

[W.]

Yep, he’s playing off the fact Pubs tend not to look much past how things affect their poll numbers, instead of looking where they should, like in the best interest of the Nation.

[W.]

ABC has to pimp for him, like the old ‘Root, hog, or die!’ it’s ‘Whore yourselves for 0bama, or die!’ time for the media. I look forward to the reports on this visit from the foreign media, may it be as pleasant as last week’s news!
