In 1985, when the Achille Lauro was hijacked, then President Reagan stepped in and gave a stern warning to all nations in the Middle East, ordering them to deny safe harbor to the PLO terrorists who controlled the ship. The nations complied. Including Israel. Only after negotiations was the liner allowed to dock, and only after arrangements were made for the terrorists to board an airliner that was planned to be intercepted by U.S. fighters. Love him or hate him, Reagan commanded respect from the international community. He stood at the Berlin Wall and mocked Gorbachev. Hell...later on, he went to Moscow and their people treated him like a celebrity.
Fast forward to today. 0bama demands Snowden be handed over by Vladimir Putin's Russia. The answer? "Nyet." 0bama tells al-Assad in Syria to stop attacking the rebels. His answer? "Laa." Over in Afghanistan, Karzai has shown him no respect. In Iraq, Nuri al-Maliki is sick of 0bama. Israel's Netanyahu openly disses him. He goes to Germany to make speeches, and is greeted to weak reception. It seems that 0bama's only "friends" are the United States' enemies right now.
How does it feel to have such a limp-wristed "leader" of the free world? Putin pretty much said "F.U." to him this week, and 0bama just bent over and took it (and we all know how he likes to bend to other world leaders). You liberals reap what you sow.
