<- He's wrecking relations with our allies> speaking as one of your 'allies' I might point out the very opposite. GWB was one who alienated many of your allies whereas Obama has done the reverse. and what you call ' dangerous relations with our enemies' is actually no more than actually having a foreign policy based on more than arrogance and military posturing. sooner or later you americans are going to have to realise you need to negotiate and talk with the rest of the world rather than just threaten and patronise. GWB didnt understand that. Obama does. But apparently YOU do not.

Points of Fact: - He's wrecking relations with our allies - He's forging dangerous relations with our enemies - He's making Bush's deficit spending spree look like a kind of tight-wad fiscal asceticism, mostly to fill the coffers of the unions and activist groups that got him elected - He's seizing a frightening amount of executive power and not demonstrated basic competence in any area he's inserted himself, besides campaigning, and even that competence isn't proving as useful for governing as he thought - His speeches are case studies in narcissistic personality disorder - He's allowing Iran to become a nuclear power and pushing Israel into a corner where they feel existentially threatened and otherwise friendless I'm not terribly worried about your hypothetical scenario. You're impervious to proof and demonstration, so I don't expect you to understand why. > It > probably didn't occur to you that you didn't win the Olympics becsaue > A) you get them often enough as it is and B) you dont really run that > good a show when you do. Just a thought. > I must say, I really didn't care about the Olympic deal UNTIL I heard the pitch he and Michelle Obama made at the IOC, which shocked even me. I didn't expect their pitch to be as bad as it really, demonstrably was, or as self-serving in its composition; it was embarrassing actually. I think the scale of the blow-out was indicative that "the world" doesn't think anywhere nearly as highly of him as you fantasize or his propagandists pretend. That part was actually oddly reassuring. - Bob > http://bit.ly/wKw1O > > - - - > Of course Barack and Michelle Obama failed in Copenhagen. Their > strategy could not possibly succeed.
