Fortunately, you will be out of sight in your 12' X 12' cabin in the wilds of Montana, holed up with your firearms, your bible, and an 8 year cache of supplies. Now, if we can only cut off your internet connection...
Look at your signature. Why are you posting this thread?
Instead of a cowboy that shoots from the hip we now have a floppy-eared community organizer who constantly steps on his own dick.This is great news. We need our allies and we need to be more respectful of other countries. No more hee haw cowboy shoot'n from the hip ****. Thank God Bush is gone.

But hey, as long as the EU and the Turd World like us, who cares! :roll:
(I think they like Obama because he's about as incompetent as their own leadership, but that's just my opinion ...)
Mmm-hmm, I'm sure you haven't.I'm not following you...haven't seen that Obama has made any foreign policy gaffs yet.
Mmm-hmm, I'm sure you haven't.
It wouldn't change his mind nor yours, so why bother? They've been detailed here and elsewhere ad nauseum. If you choose to remain ignorant, that's your problem.Care to elaborate on the ones he has?
I don't know which sig you saw, but none of them conflict with my posts

Despite the braying of ditto-heads in America, the nation's reputation has improved under the new President. Pooh on you.
Why is everyone assuming the information in the opening post is true? It's not.
The world has a positive view of Obama, not a more positive view in the U.S.
In 2008, most Muslim publics rated bin Laden as high, or higher than they rated President Bush. But in the current survey Obama inspires confidence in many more people than does the al Qaeda leader. However, in the Palestinian territories and Pakistan, bin Laden’s ratings still top Obama’s by sizable margins. (Lebanon is the only country in the survey where Bush’s ratings had been higher than bin Laden’s among Muslims in recent years).

Either put up or shut up. Don't pretend there is a long list of Obama gaffes we are choosing to ignore. If there are so many, it won't be hard for you to list three foreign policy mistakes Obama has made. If you are on target, you will get credit.

Hypo: Imagine two candidates with identical political platforms.
Candidate A has a 51% approval rating in the US and a 35% approval rating overseas.
Candidate B has a 49% approval rating in the US and an 85% approval rating overseas.
Who's the better candidate?

I guess the apology tour worked. Tell us exactly, what did we gain from selling our honor down the river?
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Images of detainee abuse at the hands of U.S. troops, which President Obama has barred from public view, so "infuriated" the nation's highest-ranking military officer he demanded leaders ensure continued training of troops to prevent abuse, according to a senior Pentagon official.
In a July 10 memo, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote the service chiefs and the U.S. combatant commanders around the world that mistreatment of detainees would have a continued and lasting negative effect on the image of U.S. forces.
"Despite our best efforts, a misguided and misled few have managed to tarnish that reputation and breach the very trust we have worked so hard to earn. I am appalled by even the suggestion that someone in an American uniform would behave in such a way," he wrote in the memo. CNN obtained the memo, which was classified as "sensitive."
Russia has authorized the United States to use its airspace for flights carrying troops and military supplies to Afghanistan.
The deal, signed Monday at a U.S.-Russian summit in Moscow, permits up to 4,500 military flights a year - about 12 a day - carrying troops, arms, munitions, military vehicles and spare parts.
MOSCOW — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said U.S. efforts to mend relations with Moscow need not be made at the expense of Washington's ties to Ukraine and Georgia.
Medvedev's comments, broadcast Friday, were clearly meant to send a positive signal about the potential for warmer relations with the United States after his summit this month with President Barack Obama.
"We need normal, working, friendly relations with the U.S. – mutually beneficial relations," Medvedev said in an excerpt from an interview with Russia's NTV television. "Much depends on this."
"But this does not mean that our relations (with the U.S.) must lead to the deterioration of our ties with other countries or of U.S. relations with some other countries, whether it is Ukraine or Georgia," he said.
Syria's leader praised President Barack Obama's outreach for dialogue and invited him to visit Damascus in remarks released Friday just days after the United States said it plans to return its ambassador to Syria after a four year absence.....
...."The values that were adopted by President Obama during his election campaign and after he was elected president are values that the world needs today," Assad said in the telegram that was carried by state-run news agency SANA.
"It is very important to adopt the principle of dialogue in relations with countries based on respect and mutual interest," Assad said.
SPIEGEL: Do you think it was helpful for Obama to deliver a speech to the Islamic world in Cairo? Or has he created a lot of illusions about what politics can deliver?
Kissinger: Obama is like a chess player who is playing simultaneous chess and has opened his game with an unusual opening. Now he's got to play his hand as he plays his various counterparts. We haven't gotten beyond the opening game move yet. I have no quarrel with the opening move.
We're supposed to get all pumped up because the president of Syria likes us? I can't tell you how excited I am that the leader of a terrorist state doesn't hate us.
Thank you, I am very glad that you have a well rounded understanding of international relations. I am so very pleased that you are completely 110% grasping the significance of Syria's role in the Middle East in regards to both it's relations to Iraq and Iran. Kudos...hip hip hooray
I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. We're not responsible for or to them. I care about performance and how the President is doing in regards to America and our freedom, our liberty, and our Constitution. And as such, we haven't had anything decent in decades. The world can think Obama is the greatest thing since slice bread. He still hasn't done anything good as President, nor improved our lot, lessened government, gotten us out of occupational wars, etc. They can say "Oh Obama is great", or think that he is so much better than Bush; but they are fools for thinking so and it shows how little actual information their opinion is generated from. Obama is on par with Bush, just as bad if you ask me.
Obama is all smoke and mirrors, once you try to take an actual measurement you see that nothing has changed at all.
It's easier for Obama to get things done internationally if people actually like him.
