I said months ago that the Obama presidency would bring about a shift in global alliances. We had always been known as the leader of the 'free world'. Those who shared our ideals were considered our allies; those who did not were considered our adversaries. Now that we have so openly displayed our weakness (under this administration) there is no longer any reason for anyone to side with us. No one needs us for money, for we are bankrupt; no one needs us for protection, for we refuse to fight. No one even needs us as a credible adversary.
The betrayal and handover of an eviscerated America will not be celebrated by our enemies. They will not hate us less. Neither will they reward Obama for it. We will quietly slip into irrelevancy - like Myanmar; like North Korea. Some future American dictator might even find it necessary to build a bomb to extort aid from the successful nations.
The world will laugh at our bravado; they will know that there is nothing behind our threats; our baseless boasts; that we have squandered all we had to atone for the sex crime of a former American president.

He makes Neville Chamberlain look good. At this point, he's everyone's biotch. I have never seen such a pusillanimous man in the white house and he's turning america into something less than some european countries. I have to wonder what lesson he learned that he would want this. It's as if we have elected someone that is not one of us, someone that is clearly not american. What is the view from where you are? I believe you said you are in India.
ReplyDeleteIndians in general still like Obama a lot. They base their approval of him on his skin color. No one is more race-conscious than people of color. Also, abroad all they get is the MSM slant on things. Indians have no clue about the heat Obama is feeling; the 'March on Washington'; talk radio. To give you an idea, our local Chennai newspaper (The Hindu) features Paul Krugman as the 'voice of America' two or three times a week on its editorial page. It makes sense, the owner-editor of the newspaper, N. Ram, is a card-carrying communist - though, not a bad sort at all.
