Obama racks up another loss

[The Rabbi]

For someone touted as brilliant he sure is racking up the foreign policy losses here. His performance in Copenhagen was less than stellar and now he craps out negotiating a deal with South Korea.

He's out of his depth as POTUS.

I think even the foreigners are tired of his finger wagging and lecturing. He is widely regarded as a narcissistic bore.

Just goes to show you a community agitator's talents don't work in the real world. He can't get anything done with lowly S. Korea. Dimocrats in the House and Senate, governor candidates and 600+ Dim state legislators all got their clocks cleaned last week because the idiot in chief, according to him anyway, was unable to communicate effectively with the voters. And then of course he had to admit a while ago that the shovel-ready jobs he used to help sell his stimulus scheme were actually voodoo shovel-ready jobs.

Barry is badly in need of a win. Hope next time he gets some guys on the court for a game of hoops the guys on the other team have the decency to at least throw the game. Then he can high five 'em and look like a winner again.

The man is an embarrassment...He's so far out of his league it's comical.

He's been out of his depth since he left Chicago.

Good! No Free Trade deal with South Korea.
After NAFTA and CAFTA which kill hundreds of thousands of jobs, this is great news.
Fair Trade, yes!
Free Trade, no!

Y'all are right that it is tough out there, and we all are fully aware that GWB would have been sent home without his pants if he had been doing this. And least, BHO covered his ass.

Joe Biden was there, too?

Yeah, we all know that more markets and free exchange of goods cause poverty. Right?

Dumbshit.

Cheney was not, thank God. This is one of the weakest OPs in weeks.

As it should be in describing an extremely weak president.

He's out of his league, indeed:

Obama doesn't get G-20 backing on China currency issues

SEOUL — President Barack Obama on Friday left meetings of the Group of 20 leading and developing economies having failed for now to secure firm measures on administration goals for rebalancing global trade, an issue seen as crucial for creating more U.S. jobs.

The final communiqué of the G20 conference contained only general language accompanied by plans for future review of what U.S. officials consider two main trade issues – stopping export-oriented countries from devaluing their currency and establishing warning levels for nations’ deficit and surplus levels.

While White House officials sought to cast the document as a step in the right direction, it combined with an earlier impasse over a free trade agreement with South Korea to cap a rough G20 for Washington.

The bruising series of meetings suggested that as America struggles to exit its economic downturn and emerging economies continue to post big growth numbers, the ability of U.S. leadership to push through big agendas on the world stage has been clipped to some extent...

I think China sent him a strong enough message when they were able to get a sub that close to California and launch a dud missile into the air. Funny how quick that story got killed. China isn't playing around. Obama is. Thats the problem.

this guy is like a 7 year old playing running back in the NFL.

Absolute 100% failure. Also, I want to add that anyone who voted for this clown is just as much of a failure and deserves just as much blame.

You are not playing with a full deck.

Bush ran around the world telling them to "fuck off". How'd that work out?

Actually he didnt.
How did it work out?
Saddam deposed, democracy in Iraq.
Libyan nuclear arms program dismantled.
Strong alliance with Britain.
Strong alliance with eastern Europe.
Increased influence in Africa.

IOW, your post is a giant FAIL.
