,,, but as president, he’s a real Wuss-in-Chief. ‘Nobama’ refers to the main word he heard (in thinly-disguised contempt) from his global counterparts:
- European leaders laughed off his request for more commitment in Afghanistan: the French pledged 300 non-fighting gendarmes (military police that Leonadis would have laughed at), the British a few of the same. Despite Obama trying to apply lipstick to this pig, no combat troops were pledged, except for Britain’s temporary addition of some for the election period only
- The Russian were only willing to discuss their nuclear concerns further (strategic nuclear disarmament, primarily ours) not our nuclear concern (Iran). The Russians have violated their commitment to get their troops out of Georgia, overflown U.S. Navy ships with bombers and talked about basing bomber in Cuba. Does Obama figure such things can’t be mentioned in polite company??
- Germany’s Merkel all but told Obama to drop dead, when it comes to joining the lemming march for National bankruptcy that Obama advocates globally (good for her!)
- Update: and on the Eastern side, they’ve pegged him as well. Despite all pressure against them from the West, the North Koreans apparently have launched their ‘satellite’, with boosters to drop on either side of Japan just for extra nose-thumbing effect.
Even the WaPo- hardly a rightwing hotbed- noticed the wimpishness. Not that respect is something we’ve ever had, but wasn’t electing Obama supposed to change that and assure better cooperation? As this Hot Air article so aptly puts it: We’re Europe’s bouncer, only we pay Europe for the privilege. The problem Europe hasn’t realized yet, but soon enough will after they are done enjoying dealing with this pushover: a bouncer is still needed in this world and you don’t need one to be the ultimate beta male.
UPDATE: This author has a far better story about the press being given a phone sex phone number instead of a canned recording of Hillary Clinton, He sees a bunch of corollary there. The press secretary sees no big deal, since he knows full well most of the press will cover for them.

Obama is a rock star, he doesn’t even have to open his mouth, before the masses swoon and fall at his feet. The Europeans–the French, Italian, Spainards, etc. will never get involved. The French will only act after an enemy has crossed their border, or coarse its to late for them then. But they will never learn. The good old U.S. will bail them out.
The great one only has to show-up and show those pearly whites for the crowds to go crazy. He is a man , a leader of no substance. He is weak and indecisive, flaws in a man, but disastrous in a president.
Lamont, you’ll notice your comment gone; I have decided that longwinded, sanctimonious boorishness that never offers up their own original viewpoints is neither worth the time or space. Come back sometime when you grow up a bit.
