International Relations - Obama Style - After One-half of a Year

1. Obama was going to smooth talk the Iranian ayatollahs and Ahmedinejad into backing down on their nuclear weapons program through negotiations and taking a soft line. Iran has not delayed their program by one minute. Obama failed!
2. Obama was going to work with other nations to persuade N. Korea to back off on its threats and its programs for atomic bomb testing and missile development and testing. N. Korea has increased its testing programs with Obama in office. In the face of aggression, Obama will talk, appease,ignore, plead, make statements about being displeased and wait to see what's popular. Obama failed.
3. Obama was going to bring the troops home from Iraq in six months according to his campaign promise. We have troops committed in Iraq for several more years. Obama lied.
4. Obama said during his campaign that the "surge in Iraq" was a failure but has now committed 21,000 more troops to a surge in Afghanistan. Obama lied.
5. The Taliban has extended its attacks into Pakistan since Obama took office. Obama has failed to prevent the expansion of the war by Islamic radicals.
6. Obama was going to negotiate a fair nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. Obama got out-foxed by the Russians who have many obsolete weapons and obsolete delivery systems that they would have to take out of service in the next few years even without a treaty. But Russia go Obama to agree to major cutbacks in U.S. delivery systems as well. Obama is naive.
7. Obama befriends the lifetime dictator of Egypt, "President" Mubarak, and apologizes for the United States attitude towards Muslims. It's no wonder they cheered Obama in Cairo U. and that Al Qaeda praises him. They love what Obama is doing to take down the prestige of this nation and the weakness he is showing.
8. Obama shows favor to the terrorist Hamas ruled Gaza over the democracy Israel in proposing settlement of conflicts there. Obama's previously proclaimed he would Obama stand by his previous proclamations to "forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions," as he told the G-20 summit or as he told al-Arabiya, America will henceforth "start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating." This has been Obama's approach to Iran, Russia, Cuba, Syria, and Venezuela. On the other, Obama's claim of an "unbreakable bond" with Israel comes with dictating that Israel freeze all settlement activity. "forge partnerships as opposed to simply dictating solutions," as he told the G-20 summit or as he told al-Arabiya, America will henceforth "start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating." This has been Obama's approach to Iran, Russia, Cuba, Syria, and Venezuela. On the other, Obama's claim of an "unbreakable bond" with Israel comes with dictating that Israel freeze all settlement activity.
9. There is a coup in Honduras because the wannabee dictator President Manual Zelaya proposed to throw out the Honduras constitution and hold an illegal referendum that would allow Zelaya to be re-elected for the rest of his life.
It takes Obama less than 24 hours to side with Zelaya, joining Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Castro of Cuba who are also supporters of Zelaya.
10. Iran holds a phony election and brutally puts down protestors and Obama takes 7 days to be "concerned".
11. Obama gave speeches with a large collection of criticisms and apologies for America's past actions, blaming Americans for arrogance, being dismissive, being derisive, genocide, torture, Hiroshima, Guantanamo and generally for insufficient respect for the Muslim world, Obama trashed America to gain the cheers of European audiences.
12. Obama made overtures to Russia to help curtail Iran's atomic bomb threat and in exchange he offered to break a promise to Poland and the Czech Republic to place ABMs in their countries, Obama was willing to double-cross America's Eastern European Allies for favor with Russia.
13. . Under general gaffes, stupidity and narcissism in international relations, just imagine the media and press reaction if Bush did any of the following:
(a) Obama gave Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically-significant gift, (b) Obama gave the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his own speeches, (c) Obama deeply bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia as showed on TV, an Islamic dictator whose country ignores all human rights, and then Obama had the audacity to lie about it, saying he wasn't bowing, (d) Obama visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," then brushed it off as a minor slip, (e) Obama trying to be so internationally sophisticated referred to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fifth of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried to correct it, having everyone wincing in embarrassment
WHAT'S OBAMA'S GRADE ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND FOREIGN POLICY AFTER ONE-HALF OF A YEAR? CLEARLY AN "F", HE FAILS AT EVERY CHANCE!!!
