Peter_Puget Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Afterall we picked St. Obama! “Mr Ainsworth took the unprecedented step of publicly criticising the US President and his delays in sending more troops to bolster the mission against the Taliban.” Telegraph “Pacific (and pussyfooting) president.” Guardian “Obama the Impotent” “America’s president shows an alarming lack of self-confidence.” Economist “relations between the U.S. and Europe, which started the year of talks as allies, near breakdown.” Financial Times over fee quota you'll have to search for link yourself dishonest with Europe” Der Spiegel "Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage” Spiegel again “Everybody is saying no to the American president these days. And it’s not just that they’re saying no, it’s also the way they’re saying no.” J-Post “amateur hour at the White House,” Daily beast written by apresident emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations and a former official in the Carter administration. Not only are things not getting fixed, they may be getting more broken,” Newsweek Quote

Phil K Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 But seriously folks, WTF happened to "Change?" He implied that we was gonna see things done differently, and what have we gotten..... not much. I'm still waiting for him to to tell the right wing fucktards to STFU and do something. "Waiting" might be too strong a word though; wishing perhaps. After eight years of the worst administration in recent history (perhaps ever) it's time for some serious ass-whupping instead of this bipartisan BS and mucking about with the status quo. Quote

Peter_Puget Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America's new strategy for Afghanistan. It seemed like a campaign speech combined with Bush rhetoric -- and left both dreamers and realists feeling distraught. One can hardly blame the West Point leadership. The academy commanders did their best to ensure that Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama's speech would be well-received. Just minutes before the president took the stage inside Eisenhower Hall, the gathered cadets were asked to respond "enthusiastically" to the speech. But it didn't help: The soldiers' reception was cool. One didn't have to be a cadet on Tuesday to feel a bit of nausea upon hearing Obama's speech. It was the least truthful address that he has ever held. He spoke of responsibility, but almost every sentence smelled of party tactics. Der Spiegel Quote

j_b Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Are we supposed to think that PP would rather have a president that delivered the change he promised? Or is he again trying to rub it in that corporate politicians will always betray their electorate and democracy? Quote
