Have we sent a President to represent us at the G-20 meeting or have we sent a wimp? So far, we have sent a wimp who seems over his head.
How is he over his head, he seems to get along with the other leaders? His advance team made a hash of the information the group received about the different countries that would be in attendance. They said England was slightly smaller than Oregon or that France was smaller than Texas. Those are not things that endear you to foreign leaders when they inevitably leak out to the press. The other way he has shown that he is in over his head is that he again assumed that the British are poor cousins. He gave Queen Elizabeth II an I-Phone. Now, an I-Phone is a wonderful piece of equipment and American ingenuity. The problem is that she already had an I-Phone and any second rate investigation would have turned that up. He made a similar mistake when Gordon Brown visited a few weeks ago. He gave Gordon Brown some DVD’s. That again sounds good, until you know that the DVD’s only work in the US, not in England. Either Barack Obama is incompetent or he does not care. There is a third option in that his staff is incompetent, but he allowed the similar mistake to be made. That would mean that he does not care or is incompetent when it comes to international relations.
How has he been representing us? Everyone is smiles and shaking hands, things must be going well, no? Well, our fearless leader has been saying that we are not the leader of the world. We will go along with whatever the Europeans come up with as a solution. That is not the kind of talk I want to hear from my President when he represents me to the world. I want a President that says that this is the way we do things in the US. You can get along with that or you can take a hike. That is a President that foreign leaders respect. This wimpy we will go along with what you decide only gains disrespect. If the other leaders figure out that the United States of America is no longer the leader of the free world, they will try and become that leader. None of them have the ability to become the leader. None of them are prepared to handle the responsibilities that the leader of the free world has. Unfortunately, our fearless leader has decided that the United States is not the leader of the free world. That will sit just fine in Russia and China. It will also give them the idea that the time is now to start taking over countries that surround them. The United States will not oppose them as we are too weak. That sounds like the start of a world war. That is one war we are not prepared to fight.
I do not know the outcome of the talks in England. I do know that the showing by the supposed leader of the free world is lacking. I do know that if I was the leader of France or Germany, I would be lobbying for the leadership job real quick. Both of them think they should be the leader of the free world. Neither of them have the economy or the army to fully embrace that role. They would be paper leaders at best.
The protesters are having a great time protesting. They really do not know what they are protesting. If they had any knowledge of what was going on, they would be cheering. The great leader of the free world has come to Europe with his hat in his hand and asked what to do. That is exactly what the protesters are protesting about. They say that capitalism is dead. Barack Obama is showing the world that capitalism is dead in America. The protesters say that we should do lots of other things that we opposed in the past, all of which Barack Obama is showing the world that we are doing. We are not the STRONG United States of America. We are the weak United States of America that wants to be like Europe. That is no way to act on the world stage. We are also led by a buffoon.
It was a sorry day when Barack Obama had to start working on foreign policy. He shows that he knows nothing every time that he tries it. The problem is that he does not learn from his mistakes. The “yes” men that he surrounds himself with insulate him from the ability to recognize that he is making a fool out of himself and the entire country. It will be a great day when Barack Obama no longer handles foreign policy. Of course, Hillary Clinton is no better. We need a whole new crop of people in the leadership positions before the United States takes its rightful place at the head of the world table.
