Damn, I dated myself a bit with that reference. Anyhow, the latest on Obama’s smart diplomacy
WASHINGTON: The US government said Wednesday it will send US dance companies in 2012 to east and south central Asia as well as to the Middle East and Africa to act as American cultural ambassadors.
“Tours are slated to fan out across the globe beginning in January 2012, when members of the selected US dance companies will perform and participate in educational outreach activities,” the state department said.
The dancers whom the state department described as “cultural diplomats” will conduct workshops, master classes, and stage and arts management sessions, it added.
I really wish this was something from The Onion, alas, it is real. But, hey, really, compared to other Obama diplomatic initiatives, can this really be any worse? Well, when they start getting arrested in Muslim countries for sexualized conduct and stuff……
Solid Gold Dancers below the fold
Couldn’t help myself.
Don’t say “Solid Gold Dancers” and then don’t provide any pictures!
HUH?
Doesn’t Obama remember this:

Or are we only going to send certain types of dancers that conform to the cultures of other countries?
Actually, that is as backwards as Obama’s thinking on this.
We are going to send groups to other countries, conforming to their ideals, cultures and customs to spread our culture.
Uh….. riiiiiiiiight.
This guy needs to go on ebay and buy a clue.
Sorry, Proof. Posted with iPhone, hard to do. Hook u up later when get home.
Probably on certain types of dancers, GT
I think Teach has been in a cultural sensitivity class, thus no offensive cheerleader pics he has been known for.
Guess I am going to have to leave Teach and get my fix from Ace’s Saturday’s CFL and Sunday’s NFL cheerleader posts.
AS for the article, how about those programs that send our muslims over to their muslims in the form of cultural exchange. Funny though how our muslims used to live and have homes in those areas we are paying them be sent to.
Almost like sending them back home on a vacation, huh?
Effect will be … “So?” Half the globe will conclude Americans are bad dancers. The other half will conclude Americans are insane. Who was that great Italian thinker who said “better to be feared than loved” again?
