Barack Obama: President Pantywaist – new surrender monkey on the block
A reporter with The UK Telegraph doesn’t hold back any punches with his review of Obama’s overseas trip. Full story by Gerald Warner here.
President Barack Obama has recently completed the most successful foreign policy tour since Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow. You name it, he blew it. What was his big deal economic programme that he was determined to drive through Barack is not the first New World ingenue to discover that European leaders will load him with praise, struggle sycophantically to be photographed with him and outdo him in Utopian rhetoric. But when it comes to the critical moment of opening their wallets – suddenly it is flag-day in Aberdeen. Okay, put the G20 down to inexperience, beginner’s nerves, what you will.
On to Nato and the next big objective: to persuade the same European evasion experts that America, Britain and Canada should no longer bear the brunt of the Afghan struggle virtually unassisted. The Old World sucked through its teeth, said that was asking a lot – but, seeing it was Barack, to whom they could refuse nothing, they would graciously accede to his wishes.
So The One retired triumphant, having secured a massive contribution of 5,000 extra troops – all of them non-combatant, of course – which must really have put the wind up the Taliban, at the prospect of 5,000 more infidel cooks and bottle-washers swarming into the less hazardous regions of Afghanistan.
Then came the dramatic bit, the authentic West Wing script, with the President wakened in the middle of the night in Prague to be told that Kim Jong-il had just launched a Taepodong-2 missile. America had Aegis destroyers tracking the missile and could have shot it down. But Uncle Sam had a sterner reprisal in store for l’il ole Kim (as Dame Edna might call him): a multi-megaton strike of Obama hot air.
“Rules must be binding,” declared Obama, referring to the fact that Kim had just breached UN Resolutions 1695 and 1718. “Violations must be punished.” (Sounds ominous.) “Words must mean something.” (Why, Barack? They never did before, for you – as a cursory glance at your many speeches will show.)
President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim down to size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America’s missile defence programme, presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit a sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun.
Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block and, over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests of the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who wants to buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until President Pantywaist gets into his stride.
Nothing but net. Well said sir.

djemi (Diary) Friday, April 10th at 3:32PM EST (link)Why do you think English is spoken by the Weaternise world?
Up until about 70 years ago the British Navy had a rule of thumb that said basically for every forgien vessel on the water there would be two British vessels on the water.

itrytobenice (Diary) Friday, April 10th at 4:39PM EST (link)But won’t this be a change? You know how it works, if someone else is carrying the load, you have a tendency to slack off a little bit. Remember the blitz when we weren’t doing anything? The Brits did yeoman’s work.
Lately, from about Reagan on, we’ve shouldered the defense budget of Europe, so they’ve had a tendency to slack. Now the Brits better man up. We’ve got a pansy in the WH and if they don’t pick up the slack, Western Civ is going to be in trouble.

This is going to be a long and arduous 4 years.
Silly leftists who believe for one moment that we will be “liked” need to be placed in straightjackets and put away for the safety of America.

I think that Obama's
redneck_hippie (Diary) Sunday, April 12th at 10:14AM EST (link)respect and admiration is reserved for leftist dictators. I especially thought that when he crassly returned the bust of Churchill.
The One clearly intends to turn the US to appeasement as a policy as soon as he gets the chance. The surge to Afghanistan is more symbolic than real, as the European countries are indicating by their nonsupport of sending combat troops. And why would they risk the blood of their bravest on the “word” of a surrender monkey? Answer is, they didn’t.
Meanwhile missile defense is dying and pirates have the upper hand over the United States.
Show some respect traitor!
I like to make crude sexual jokes. Monday, April 13th at 7:34PM EST (link)That is YOUR President.
Plus get your facts straight. There are various missile defense programs. Some are being cut, some are being scrapped, some are being INCREASED (look it up). Hey, we have WARS to fight and the missle shield won’t help in Iraq or Afghanistan. Gotta watch the cash.
As for surrender? To who? Whose language am I supposedly going to have to learn to speak now? That line of attack is 50 years old.
Tell is all what YOU would do with North Korea? We have 30,000 troops on the ground there and few reserves thanks to Iraq. Do YOU propose we bomb or strike N. Korea with missiles? What do YOU propose to do if 500,000 N, Korean regulars come across the border?
Well speal up you chest beating, mouth breating MONKEY.

The Minority Report — The HinzSight Report — TMRB.tv — MFOB “Miss Tagart, do you know the hallmark of the second-rater? It’s resentment of another man’s achievement.”
And by the way, since we're having such a pleasant
janis (Diary) Monday, April 13th at 7:49PM EST (link)and productive conversation here, did you spend the last 8 years being respectful and supportive of President George W. Bush? Did you defend him when people criticized his decisions both domestic and foreign, and did you especially support him in the decision to go into Iraq and Afghanistan? Did you speak out against those who wanted to defund the troops to make a political point? Did you stand up and yell at those in the media who told one lie after another to support those who would see us fail? Did you turn on your own kind like Markos Moulitsas and shame him into apologizing for his “Screw them” comment? Did you ever once try to set the record straight about the events and people most responsible for the failures after Katrina?
If the answer is No to all the above, then why in hell do you think you have the right to come here and demand that we show this a**hat some respect?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really? I’ll bet they’re going to be there for a HUNDRED YEARS! All because of John McCain….errr….ummm….
The guy who wrote the article is British, little troll. Obama is therefore *not* his President.
Martin Knight (Diary) Monday, April 13th at 8:13PM EST (link)Ergo, he ain’t no traitor.
BTW, I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism? That was all the rage just last year at all the fashionable cocktails.
Honestly? I’d be shocked if *you* can point to North Korea on a map of the Korean Peninsula.
PS: Until liberals learn how to argue with facts instead of petty slander, seeing a liberal asking other people to get their facts straight won’t be so laughable.
Run along now.
