Nobody respects Obama!

(My new American Thinker post)


A few days after an under whelming trip to Europe, President Obama faces another leadership test.  I just hope that there is someone in this White House who can get past Valerie Jarrett and tell President Obama that he is not doing very well in these leadership tests.  In fact, he is doing very poorly.

The Snowden episode is the latest example that "hope and change" is an "oldie" but not a "goodie."

First, we apparently did not do the paperwork correctly to get Mr Snowden extradited.  Hong Kong is saying that we presented the the wrong forms, or that they did not comply with their law. 

Wrong forms? How many of these forms are there anyway?  The US is saying that there was nothing wrong with the paperwork.

The problem is that we look really stupid arguing with Hong Kong about paperwork.  This is dumber than the IRS sending 23,000 checks to the same address!

Second, no one is afraid of the US and that is very bad for the world's only superpower. 

Ecuador, a small country in South America, is now spitting in our face.  We should be warning Ecuador about drastic consequences to our relationship if they allow Snowden to land in their country. Ecuador may listen now that Chavez is dead.

Cuba, a country asking us to end the embargo and bail out the communist regime, is not showing a lot of respect either.   President Obama should tell the State Department to stop travel visas to Cuba and freeze remittances to the island.

Venezuela, the country that Secretary Kerry was talking to a couple of weeks, is not showing a lot of respect either.    Wonder how Secretary Kerry feels about his "lifeline" now?

This is unacceptable.  Unfortunately, this is what happens when nobody respects the president of the US.   Click for our Sunday show with Bill Katz of Urgent Agenda:

President "Mute" Obama needs to explain how Snowden got away

Mr Snowden is apparently headed to Caracas, Quito or Havana, or at least that's the latest news story.

Over the next few days, we will know more of Mr Snowden's destination.

I think that President Obama must speak very bluntly to Havana, Quito & Caracas about harboring Mr Snowden.  I hope that he also told Mr Putin & the leaders of China that we are not happy with their performances either.

Last, but not least, we are now hearing that our "paperwork" to extradite him from Hong Kong was incomplete.

If so, is anyone going to get fired over that?

President Obama is off to a very rough second term.  It is unacceptable to hear that Snowden got away because we got the paperwork wrong or because the Russian are not playing ball.
