WH Diplomacy 'Back Down to Earth'
Foreign policy never goes according to campaign plan, but for President Barack Obama, who promised a hardheaded new engagement with the world, the last week and the weeks he sees looming ahead must be discouraging.
Across a region spanning Pakistan to the Mediterranean, foreign leaders seem to be challenging the very premise of his policy: that foreign countries can reasonably be persuaded to move in the direction of common interests, and that a better-loved America can get more done.

Thank You for Your Submission!

Welcome back to earth B.O.
The honeymoon is over.
Reality check.
You have no experience, naive, gullible and corrupt.
The bias news may start to report the facts and distance themselves from you soon.
As your ratings continue to drop.
They are tied of egg in their face and Fox news getting all the credit.
The rest of the world knows, I am an EASY button.
Your true colors have surfaced.
And still no college records or birth certificate.
Transparency now.

Earth=Ground – as in Ground Zero! The nuclear threat from Iran and North Korea aren’t going away – Obama repeatedly exhibits his arrogant incompetence with no clear solutions - Hillary vacillates with the slightest twinge of resistance from the Arabs in Morocco - first praising Israel - then lambasting them for West Bank settlements - the world's doubt in U.S. diplomatic leadership must be shriveling to zero - dangerous for our troops - dangerous for America...

BHO you should start reading the cards! You are going to find your ass sitting in the middle of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue waiting for the next bus to thug land, Chicago. Talk is cheap. Everybody, even foreign leaders see you for what you are. HOT AIR! You have debased our military, CIA and others who care about America. You have left our troops hanging out and in danger. You have 3 years left to get on the right track or you will go down as the worst president ever. FIRE ALL CZARS, RID THE WH OF ALL MARXISTS, SOCIALIST, AND COMMUNIST BELIEVERS. WE THE PEOPLE WILL HAUNT YOU EVERY DAY BETWEEN NOW AND 2012, COUNT ON IT.
Everyone, please don't let up on this stooge. Continue to phone and email congress, the senate and whitehouse. Let them hear us loud and clear. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

AND THE WORLD'S LEADERS WILL CONTINUE TO CHALLENGE him, they are sensing blood, he is not an AMERICAN leader they look for our strength and do not see it,they look for a decisive individual-and do not see one, they look for someone who is trusted by his own people-and can not finf that person,they expect the truth and can accept it,recognize it and respect it----not a fancy word or phrase or the rock star image ---they like us are not impressed at this person or smile!!
Vote the Socialists out
Now that the election has been decided in Afghanistan and Obama is out of excuses what is next move going to be after he abandoned our troops in Afghanistan.

I don't know that BO will mend his ways. He does not seem to be the brightest bulb in the lamp of foreign policy! He has gotten absolutely nowhere with hsi ideas. China has not made any changes (except to become our "landlord"), Korea carries on with its nuke program, as does Iran refusing to ship its waste to Russia or France for processing, and I do not see any growing love for the USA from the European elite! Things are not only worsening in Afghanistan, but Hillary is not hitting any home runs in Pakistan, either.

Ground control to Major Obama!!! Take the pure oxygen mask off before you pass out meatbag!

Clueless in Washington...

The rest of the world only cares about the US as long as they can get money out of us. They use us when they need our protection, then ignore us when we ask for help. We should not be apologizing for keeping the world free for the last 60 years. I will gladly apologize for our mistakes when the rest of the world apologizes for theirs.
Don't Drink the Cool Aid
I totally agree....and while we're at it....how about getting back some of the money we gave them, now that our econocmy is on the delcine?
samminusa
How many of them actually paid the US back for rebuilding their countries after WW1 and 2...........ZERO! What goes around, should come around.

Talk is cheap in foreign diplomacy................and the rest of the world knows it.

The world leaders see Obama for what he really is----just talk.

Obama is copying and expanding Bush's imperialistic foreign policy. Expose the Obama agenda: http://bit.ly/jbraR
UNION BREAKER
This just goes to show how NIEVE this man is. He and the Liberals are still living in a Fairy Tale World" If something is not done soon, one of these Rouge Leaders will do something that we will ALL regret. It is time for the Liberals to COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH, wake up and realize that there will never be a perfect world, and be prepared for the worst...but I'm not going to hold my breathe on that

Every time he opens his mouth he proves how truly ill equipped he is to be President. I give him kudo's for being a really good community organizer, telepromter reader and campaigner, but he is a truly poor excuse for a President.
PATRIOT UPRISING
