Why They're All Saying "NO" to Obama



Amir Mizroch writes in the Jerusalem Post:
Everybody is saying no to the American president these days. And it's not just that they're saying no, it's also the way they're saying it.
The Saudis twice said 'no' to his request for normalization gestures towards Israel ... Who says no to the American president twice? What must they think of Obama in the desert kingdom?
...
The North Koreans said 'no' to repeated attempts at talks, by test-launching long-range missiles in April; Russia and China keep on saying 'no' to tougher sanctions on Iran; the Iranians keep saying 'no' to offers of talks by saying they're willing to talk about everything except a halt to uranium enrichment.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is saying 'no' by refusing to meet with Binyamin Netanyahu until Israel freezes all settlement construction; the Israelis said 'no' by refusing to agree to a settlement freeze, or even a settlement moratorium until and unless the Arabs ante up their normalization gestures. Which brings us back to the original Saudi 'no'.
...
Everyone has worked it out by now: The great secret is out- America's economy has made Obama a weak president, and he will likely remain weak throughout his first term... for the next three years, expect to see a world that says 'no' to Obama. No meaningful and dramatic diplomatic initiative can come out of the White House in the next three years, as long as Obama remains weak.

...Iran could turn up the heat on US and coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, which will stymie Obama's plan to win and withdraw. In Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran has the US president by the kishkes, in a manner of speaking.
And so do the Taliban.
So, when a president with so many problems comes asking for a favor, everyone finds it easier to just say no...

Chavez Says Obama is "Lost in Space"



While it's rarely worthwhile to listen to this Bolshevik gadfly's ceaseless drivel for anything more than entertainment value, Chavez' latest snark that Obama is "Lost in Space" on Latin American policy is noteworthy in that our all-knowing Dear Leader's "extended hand" has once again been spit-in by an enemy he attempted to appease. Chavez sees only weakness to be exploited when smiley plastic mannequin Barack puts his arm around him for the cameras- of that you can be sure.

When German Generals who opposed the offensive in 1940 -out of respect for/fear of the French and British- debated with Hitler, he was quoted as saying "I have already met my enemies at Munich... they were little worms". Thus one of the most famous chapters in the folly-of-appeasement was written- of course one still yet to be learned by the perpetually deluded Carters, Bidens, and Obamas of the world.

Reuters reports that Chavez stated:
"...we are asking that "the empire" get its hands off Honduras and get its claws out of Latin America..."
"President Obama is lost in the Andromeda Nebula, he has lost his bearings, he doesn't get it..."
Chavez added that Obama needs to withdraw U.S. forces from the Palmerola air base in Honduras (also known as Soto Cano) and from Guantanamo Bay which the U.S. Navy has used as a base in Cuba for over a century.
"Get with it, Obama -- get with it, brother"
Anybody still think that Obama's Pollyanna foreign policy is getting him any respect out there?

Because it's not-
