Puss to the World... Policy

[Lumpy 1]

I suppose you could applaud Obama for trying a new way on Foreign Policy.
The policy of bowing, blaming America first and if we're nice they'll be nice.

It may already be to late to change but this making nice policy shows no sign of success whatever.

Sheezz..Even the French are laughing at us...

The French never laugh, they chortle quietly during a long lunch.

I stand corrected.....

I suppose it could be called "gesture politics".

BushCheney flipped the world the bird. Obama's gesture is to offer his hand.
Just remember, when you've given the world digitis impuducus you've got nowhere to go, Obama at least can withdraw his hand and replace it with a fist.

I think it can also be called diplomacy. Bill Clinton always wanted to be friends with the world as does his wife but she has a rougher edge when necessary.

I don't see one thing wrong with the bows, it's petty to keep talking about it like he was being subservient.

I got their "Gesture Politics" OH NO! Sorry that is Obama's

mine requires much less effort and only one hand raised.......

It's one of the best things about the French. I like their lifestyle.

Move along folks .

Nothing to see here,

More much ado about nothing from right wing cranks.

It's not about the bowing and it's not about fair diplomacy .........

It's about his mouth, it's about Selling Us Out!

A man not proud of his country cannot properly represent it!

Obama is not proud.

And people like you and Obama who live only to push blame, never achieve anything worthy!

Hmmmm Yank. Haven't seen any successes in Ol'BO's corner either. Guess the bowing and scraping and apologizing just don't work worth a damn either. Personally I'd rather call em all assholes. Results are the same.

Chortle is a French word which losely translated means "what we do just before we surrender."

 

[LibocalypseNow]

"Blame America First" is what all Leftist Creeps truly believe in. They're just a little bit less "Blame America First" when one of their own is in power. When the other guys are in power it's "Blame America First!!" 24/7 for them. They can't help it though because it's the Socialist/Marxist in them. Three more years of this Socialist/Marxist madness? Yikes.

Obama is still trying to figure out if Afghanistan is one of the 57 States. He'll figure it out one day.

 

[Diuretic]

It seems that those on the right are down to insults and slogans. That's a bit disappointing. It takes the fun out of a thread.

 

[Toronado3800]

So anyways, what would you all have done differently? Keep that missile defense system in Poland pointed at missiles from Moscow thus cowtowing to the Poles who wanted our money spent in their country? I'm more worried about our Middle Eastern brothers than our Russian foes.

Yes, but you have to have the fist clenched and ready to punch before you get pummeled.

Chamberlain was a practitioner of gesture politics, so was Jimmy Carter.

The real danger here for Obama is it is the perception of the Iranians, Russians and Chinese is that he is all talk with no ability to impose consequences.

I guess we'll have to disagree, once you establish yourself as a wimp I would think it difficult to suddenly present the fist. For Obama it may be too late.

I just believe it's better to come at it from a position of strength. While other countries dither America has been the country that sucked it up and took care of the problem.

I think Obama's a "Rock Star" with foreign citizens because he agrees with them that it's always America's fault. They want America to kiss there butts and Obama is happy to do so.

America's the only super power right now, it should play the part, not some pussy whipped giant to the world.
