Bill

Obama is now showing his distain of the USA! He and his Harvard eggheads think that they can appease the rest of the world and get away with it. He has the white collar of a college professor who get's away with teaching anything, but not being held for the results. He has never put on a uniform of our military to serve his country but wants to be called 'Commander-in-Chief! You don't negotiate with pirates. Let the navy seals take care of them!

bravo

4 years can't end too soon

President Obama is shaping up like Jimmy Carter II.

Twenty years hence he'll be certifying elections in South America and Africa and we'll think of him as a decent man and a bad president.

Here's hoping that his successor is Ronald Regan II.

Reality is setting in and sadly Americans are the last to get it. The media did nothing to challenge Obamas' views, because they wanted him elected. So the Obama campaign is still out there, now running for Ultimate World Leader. It's interesting to note that everything Obama does to align America with the rest of the world (Russia, China and all their honest European friends) is always from a stand of weakness. Giving something up. He got nothing for his weakness. So in the future when "Mr. Bad" President comes to town on some other issue, these same world leaders won't be silent, they'll all just start laughing, "What are you gonna do?" The President better get the idea (and soon) that they don't want to be his buddy, they always want something to make America weak and improve their position. Just like the kid that gives his lunch money to the bully everyday, when does the bully become his friend? NEVER! What gets a Bullys'attention? Someone who isn't afraid, and if they have to, will take the bully to the woodshed. Jimmy Carter couldn't and Obama won't and America gets bullied.

"The obligatory emergency Security Council session produced nothing. No sanctions. No resolution. Not even a statement."
Seems as though the UN has released a draft version of a resolution now.
And the day after the launch, "Given the volatility in the region, as well as a stalemate in interaction among the concerned parties, such a launch is not conducive to efforts to promote dialogue, regional peace or stability, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement released today."-Gerry J. Gilmore, American Forces Press Service, 4-5-2009
Once again, by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles, this provocation underscores the need for action, not just this afternoon at the UN Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons."-President Obama
". . . this provocation underscores the need for action . . . in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons."
Krauthammer is a hack. You notice he doesn't even say what he thinks America's reaction to Korea should be? Also, I think he has ADD, how many different issues did he bring up, never talking in depth on any of them. He's a hack.

Who is America getting "bullied" by? I swear you guys live in a fantasy land.

Re; mark

Well, we can start with N. Korea of whom Obama is frightened. Then we can add the Taliban and Al Qaida and how about Hamas? Russia's Putin comes to mind also. Then he is bullied by the Saudi King whose arse he kissed recently, right after he apologized for America! Our enemies are rejoicing over a 98 lb weakling that Obama is in a world of bullies. Obama is afraid of global warming and he is afraid of his past(he can not produce a birth certificate and he knows it). He is afraid of the NAACP to whom he is deeply beholding. There are things he isn't afraid of: spending our grandchildren's future and killing unborn babies! He is very, very brave when it comes to them, mostly because they are defenseless! What a sniveling, spineless coward he is!

U.N.

Can be just as much as Disneyland, so many characters and so many odd balls. The fun part is, you can guarantee the "RIDE" at the U.N. will be wild and adventurous!!!! At the expense of the American Tax Payers.

Mark, you are totally brainwashed by Rush Limbaugh. That fact that you would even mention the NAACP in today's world shows that you are a racist. Has the NAACP even been in the news?

Why don't you explain why he is beholding to the NAACP and exactly what they have to do with his presidency.

What did Bush do about Korea in the last eight years? We've known about their bombs and missiles for years.

Hello, weak on the Taliban? Tell that to the Taliban who are being hit with drone strikes ordered by Obama.

Hello, what did Bush do about "the Saudi King"?

Your description of President Obama as "a sniveling, spineless coward" is the cheap shot from the party that lost the election. Obama is seen as a strong leader, and a prince of a man, by both Americans and people all over the world.

Your charges are silly.

The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling ... geez, rather sad to see to what petty depths the Rs are plumbing now that their policies and positions have been proven NOT to resonate w most / majority of America. Torture is a bad thing (good); not being afraid to talk to other countries (good); and the list goes on. Bellicose-voiced Rove and Rush Rs, backed by the likes of Krauthammer / Will (pundits gone postal), maybe if you guys wish hard enough, and click your Ruby Red slippers together, you'll get that Second Coming of yours to wipe the slate clean ---- or more likely, you'll just continue to spout hooey piled upon more hooey, so much so that your party melts away (like the Witched Witch of the East), obsolete.

Obama is twice the disaster Carter was. In Carter at least we had a President who had moral convictions to guide himself.

When the cat's away the mice will play. Bad actors all over the world will advance during this administration. A new generation of Americans will find out what it is like to have a boot on their throat and then they will grow up and demand a strong pro-American president.

I can't tell if Obama is deliberately out to destroy the US or just a feckless college professor.

Sam

Obama apologists will never get it they are either so hyponotized by "yes we can, or change that you can believe in", they can't see what is happening in the world around us, blame everything on President Bush.(Katrina, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank's housing crisis, Obama's economy and his refusal to encact positive groth policies, Ted Kenedey's no child left behind, 9/11, the war they all voted for, etc.) Now that King Barry is their pseudo savior anything he does is good with them even if it destroys this nation, after all it is "change you can beleive in."

@IS | 12:50 a.m.

Apparently so. Bush and Cheney were never impeached, and THEY are the ones who deserved it.

p.w

i was always wondering why the repubs. have such a hateful view about Obama. it's simply "fear".

go travel the world instead locking yourself up in the closet listening to fear mongering talk shows.

try to be more receptive instead of just hate everything non-republican.

Marky

Obama is simply trying to line up support for his post-presidential gig. I suspect he wants to be the head of the UN. Then he can really bash and trash America while all of his one-world government fans cheer him on. For Obama, it's all about him and he can't wait to get the adulation train into high gear. However, he must first destroy America. So far, so good.

@Lionheart

Obama can't tell either.

So many posters on here, plus Charles, the article's writer, have not got a clue as to what's going on. So very sad.

The real news is Obama's visit to Turkey. Europe is collection of decaying, toothless old socialist states while Turkey is a vibrant rising power. Whatever he said in Europe may have been troubling on the surface, but closer ties with Turkey was the significant thing, and it's a good move.
