NYT: Obama Flunking Mideast Diplomacy
A remarkably tough, even hostile, NYT lead editorial Saturday on Obama’s MidEast peace efforts. Beneath the headline “Diplomacy 101”, the paper says POTUS’ plan has "unraveled," his "credibility is so diminished," "we see no sign that [Obama and Mitchell] were thinking more than one move down the board," and that "Obama backed down.”

Obama, Obama, why would SEIU, & Acorn be visiting the WH so often?
Aren't USA jobs more important?

The NYT is not to be trusted, they will have an editorial the next day praising Obama. By the way, the NYT is just figuring out what many of us Americans have known all along. This president is in way over his head, he doesn't have the experience to lead this country and he cannot think on his feet and make a fast decision on anything except raising taxes.

Sounds like the NYT has started listening to Fox News. Good move.

Thanks for the news flash, NYT, but we already had that figured out. Guess what? Obummer is failing at everything else, too. Too bad for us, huh? We're stuck with this leftover Thanksgiving turkey until 2012 unless we can impeach him before then. We can only hope with the mid-terms of 2010 to make impeachment a reality. . . we can dream, can't we?

Has the NYT finally figured out which way the wind is blowing?

What a great opportunity President Obama had in so many ways, and he is flunking on everything. He only has the kool aid drinkers and the folks that are to stubborn to admit they were wrong, still supporting him. The kool-aid drinkers will never change and the stubborn ones will vote differently in 2010. I am sure his support is well below what the polls say. I don't hear anything good said about him and I am in Oregon.

What happened? Did they hire a "real" reporter? Or did this article just got missed by the proof readers?
nom de plume
Obama's diplomacy is redux of the diplomacy that caused WW ll......... IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNCANNY
Max-Deep-Throat
Headline News reports that Iran has just launched multiple nuclear warhead missles and has destroyed the State of Israel, and hundreds of thousands people have perished, and the U.S. has lost the war in Afghanistan, and the return of the Taliban and Al Queda has been re-established.

U.S. President Obama's response is: " Gee, I guess I should have put more sanctions on Iran. Oh Well, excuse me I have to go play golf now "…
Max-Deep-Throat
A Failed President and A Failed Presidency, with a Failed Domestic Economic Policy, taking the Nation into a deep depression, and a Failed Foreign Policy and a soon to be, future prediction... it's WWIII with Iran's nuclear missles being fired at Israel and Israeli retaliation, that will ignite WWIII, and like a spark in the dry windy grass of southern calif, the world be gone up in flames...
Obama really F'd that one up now didn't he... he should have stopped playing golf and did his job.
Someone's Granma
He not only flunks "Mideast Diplomacy...he's flunking "First Grade Presidency"...Guess this "photo-op of his life" is one grade above his pay scale ..???...###///......
TxGold
He;s flunking at home, also. He's a total embarassment to this Country and to us.
my view
obowma is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country...He is bankrupting our country with his spending and taking over banks and private co. This obamacare will result in socialized medicine (which the american people do not want)--Cap-and-tax) .He lies about raising taxes and transparancy is not there. He is trying to throw so much at us that we throw up our arms in confusion as Barney Frank said we would. They all need to go NOW....This is all about total CONTROL.
US Male
They're mixing up diplomacy with appeasement. Appeasement creates wars.
ArtArnold
This was artical was not published as hard news, but as the "lead editoral",
and now we are supposed to think the NYT is a leopard changing its spots.
How was the news section of this fish wrap of record handled on the same day?
dogman
Just like he is failing at everything else he is trying to cram through.
Lemure
Because he is concentrating on being likes rather than the security of USA. He is so impressed with himself (narcissist) and portraying how wonderful we finally are that a half black man if President............People all over the world is about as over that as we are. WeThePeople know how great we are, and that living here is the best not matter how this President is trying to portray us as nothing special.
Jenney
He is a flunky, all our allies know it and they have to prepare a defense themselves. What barack did to Poland is a disgrace, what he has done to our troops in order to please his commie friends like chavez, Castro and Muslims is treason.

Israel does not have a friend in Obama,he is a Muslim and his true ideology shows in his lack of firm diplomacy with Iran.The media had best get some facts printed,they are losing readers .The all mighty dollar being removed will slap them to awareness,the people don't like having truth and facts hid from them.The battle is coming between Israel and Iran ,and concern should be who he sends troops to help.Now think about that!
horse sense
How can you say he is flunking? He continues to blame the United States for the world ills. He has not intention of letting the United States get any credit for anything.
Loyal72
WOW! The NYT must really be "between a rock and a hard place" to stoop to actually printing FACT about the wad! Could it be trying to become a newspaper? And is it really news to anyone that the wad's mideast diplomacy is failing? I think we had 6 or 7 repub candidates in 2008 that FORCASTED this NEWS!!!!! Come on Tally, Aticus, et al! We await with bated breath your comments on this one!
DS
His mid-American diplomacy is flunking too!
American Eagle (OathKeeper)
This is what happens when a lot of people voted for a guys skin color and not his qualifications, he is not qualified to do anything but vote 'present' in the Illinois State Senate.

Israel has my thumbs-up. Their leaders won't permit outside influences to dictate policy. shipley130, in my opinion stated it right. The President isn't the only player behind our failing America. Why would any other country consider following suggestions from a nation of elected officials, who have done nothing more than destroy their own. Since this administration took office, look at the attack that has taken place on our "Constitution". In my opinion, the majority of anything government run, be it Federal, State, County, or City, is corrupt in some degree. I no longer trust our judicial system because they too permit the minority to dictate. Israel has strong leaders with decisive goals, and they will not consider suggestions from leaders of a falling nation who snubbed their nose at them previously.

W.T.F............The "Times" critisizing "King Obama"? This can't be happening. I need to go sit down for this one!
Learn 2 Swim
Don't misread this article, the Times is mad because Obamao is not being tough enough on Israel. In the liberal world Israel is the bad guy in the Mid east conflict.
tropic1
the israel people are not going to stand by and let themselves be destroyed.
obama is a fool to believe that he can negotiate with iran,i believe he sides with the muslims,he went to a church for 20 years that spouted hate, he is a socialist and fidel castro loves the guy,we are in for a exciting 3 years.
google cathy buckle zimbabwe if you want to see what could happen to our great country,very sad indeed.

To get any sort of circulation to his numb skull, he bows and bows and bows and bows, etc----------------

WOW!! The NYT is criticizing Obama??!! They too are finally waking up!! I love it!!
Essex Class
Obama has been flunking every subject since he was elected. Face it folks, he might be able to sell used cars, but he isn't a leader by any definition. He can't make a decision, can't speak without a teleprompter and doesn't have a clue of what to do in running a complicated business which is our government.
Lemure
When you hire someone with no experience, there is no wonder he is failing miserably. He likes to look good, but he is an empty vessel. That is glaring to everyone, but the koolaid drinkers, oh and Tally Wacker.
American Eagle (OathKeeper)
If he is flunking mideast diplomacy, does this mean he is actually passing somewhere else?
B.O.H.I.C.A.
This war over there been going on for 3000 years - did anyone actually believe Obienutzz could just stand in a buck of water and declare - "Let There Be Peace". Plllzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@John
There's much more at stake here than issues that we should "lighten up".
The Israelis will not wait for the US or the UN to solve the problems in this region.
This President's moronic attitude about world politics is rapidly moving it to the brink.
We need to criticize and debunk at every turn any idea that this administration is competent. They need to be totally revealed.
I know I'm speaking to the choir here, and that conservatives saw this coming for months--we were screaming at the top of our lungs. But we should never ask any American to "lighten up" on this dangerous imbecile.
The real question: what's up with the NYT ??

2010 can't come soon enough.

I do not trust none of them. Obama's poll numbers are down and they need his numbers back up. He still have 95% of black supports but missing some of his white supporters that kept his numbers in the high 60%. If SNL and NYT talk bad about Obama, maybe he will get some of white supporters back.
DR in NC
This article is about Obama's failure in dealing with the Israel - Palestine conflict. There is a saying in Israel "The surest way to bring an end to a rival, is to convince them to try and solve the Israel - Palestine conflict." Obama is now on the long list of world leaders who have tried and failed. Though I must point out that his outspoken confidence in the beginning did in fact create a more ignominious defeat than most others. That'll show ya.
John
Lighten up folks. He was hand picked and groomed to stand up and read speeches written for him. The location is also picked by is handlers for the best photo op. He is a President in name only. He is not knowledgeable about anything except how to con America. His world speeches and presentation have shown he is an idiot, a child sent to meet with real World Leaders. He is a failure and a disgrace to AMERICA. He is a Marxist/Socialist who is going to destroy America if we let him. If you continue to excuse him and put the blame elsewhere you well surely regret it. You children and grand children will wonder why you allowed this administration to tear down the most wonderful Nation in the World. One way to help keep America is to stop this massive takeover our our health care.
my view
I couldn't agree more. More people need to get involved.
ilovetheusa
This story is from the NYT!!! Wow if the MSM turns on this moron like they should because he is just that, a moron.
His popularity will drop to 30% approval, and not even the Dems will back him up anymore.
BlueEagle
What else would you expect from a community organizer. The guys stupid!
Lee in NC
Is that why he cannot speak without a script & teleprompter?
John-USMC-OathKeeper
he's flunking every quiz presented so far. he doesn't do his homework and pays no attention to his instructors who kknow more than his left-wingnut radical marxist regime members. Come 2012, he will fail the final exam and be wondering why he can't have it. Like he got the Nobel for nothing, he thinks all of life - including the Presidency of the United States - should be a hand-out to him just because he thinks he deserves it - which he is so very wrong about.
nolies74621
Noone can say they did'nt see this coming. Obamas inexpierience continues to show and get worse each time he attemts to "Improve Americas image abroad" A 2nd year Political Science major could make better foreign policy decision than this guy.
Lee in NC
A third-grader could do better!
shipley130
No matter what all the articles say in any liberal or conservative mag, Obama and Congress, as well as local governments, are flunking the U.S. Constitution. They are treading on the taxpayer. "Treaders" must go.
