I’m not sure how this is going to stop the seas from rising and start the healing of the Earth
If President Barack Obama is not yet convinced that his international star power has faded, his next round of transatlantic summitry should clear up any lingering doubts.
Coming off a marathon Asia trip where Obama often found himself rebuffed by fellow world leaders, he will head to Europe this week where the agenda will be clouded by a growing divide over economic strategy and a sense of neglect among traditional U.S. allies.
It will not be lost on his European hosts that Obama, who visited Europe six times in his first year, is dashing to Lisbon for little more than 24 hours on the ground after conducting a 10-day four-country tour of Asia.
That’s quite a bit of greenhouse gases you’re putting out, Chump, and all for some more #FAIL.
“The tricky thing for Obama is to show the Europeans not only that he’s still important to them but that they’re still important to the U.S.,” said Sally McNamara, a European affairs expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington.
Accustomed to being at the center of U.S. foreign policy, Europe may be feeling jilted.
Fantastic! Not only has he been proliferous with greenhouse gas output, but, he is damaging our relations with our European allies. Supposedly, he is going to work to decrease tensions, perhaps with some iPods with copies of his speeches on them. The European leaders see him as an unserious man, a little fish in a big pond. They may respect the position, but, not the child playing the part, and his narcissism has not come off well with his European counterparts.
But there is also disappointment in Europe that Obama has not done more to advance the fight against climate change or meet his promise to close the military prison at Guantanamo.
Kinda hard to fight against globull warming when one jets off across the Atlantic for a 1 day conference. As for Gitmo, haven’t they learned that all Obama promises come with an expiration date? Plus, actually Doing Something beyond signing ones name is haaaaawd!
Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU. sit back and Relax. we’ll dRive!
Teach i thoufht that you were saying at last with Chrissie O”Donnell that we should not be engaging in PERSONAL attacks but should just be debating policy?
Nice try, John, but, I’m not making fun of his ears. I’m attacking his political beliefs and actions.
