We salute Rick Moran on the 5th anniversary of his blog: Right Wing Nuthouse
Rick posted a great one today: DOES THE WORLD LOVE US ANY MORE WITH OBAMA AS PRESIDENT?
Check out this:
"But when push comes to shove and Obama has wanted to lead, where has he taken them?
Or, have our allies around the world simply gone their own way anyway, despite his eloquent importunings?
No help for our troops in Afghanistan.
Failure to convince the Europeans to overstimulate their economies.
Bad reactions to Obama’s stances on the war in Georgia, increased NATO membership, Turkey’s bid for EU membership, additional sanctions on Iran, and the clown show that the release of al-Megrahi turned out to be.
No go on carbon caps, economic development for Africa, third world debt relief…
Well, you get the picture.
It’s great that our allies love us but where has that gotten us?
What tangible benefit has accrued to our interests so far that would prove Obama’s approach to foreign policy is superior to anyone’s, much less that of George Bush?
Yes, but at least they’re not marching in protest when the American president comes for a visit.
They’re not saying nasty things in newspapers."
Yes, they are not marching anymore.....but is anybody sending troops to Afghanistan or getting tough with Iran?
The answer to both is "no".
My guess is that the US public is watching and asking a simple question: What are we getting for all of this love?
Again, we are not getting a lot back but Pres BO's ego is certainly getting a lot of stroking! And Chavez smells hope, not sulfur!
