The Pres BO tour is over and he got nothing.
Yes, he got of love and adulation.
Unfortunately, he came back with zero troops and not much support for his economic policies.
Charles Krauthammer wrote a column that should be read by everyone, and specially the "yes we can" screamers.
"Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas.
With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.
And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country?
He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans.
He was rudely rebuffed.
He wanted more stimulus spending from Europe.
He got nothing."
France will take 1 prisoner from GITMO.
The Euros will send translators to Afghanistan.
And North Korea fired a missile a few minutes before Pres BO gave a speech of nuclear weapons.
Is this love?
I would rather have a president that everybody hates.
At least, he will defend my family and keep our country safe!
P.S. Just curious. The Somali pirates have been operating in the open seas for quite sometime.
They did not attack a US-flag ship during the Bush years. They attacked a US-flag ship in the first 75 days of the Obama years.
Is that a coincidence?
