First we have Ill. Congressman Mark Kirk in China, he met with government there and quite frankly told them not to trust our government on matters of the budget and the deficit! OK fuckwad, go and tell China YOUR President Obama is a liar and do not trust what he says! WTF??
Two weeks ago we have Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma announcing he plans to attend the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. He wants to be a one man truth squad and say global warming is a hoax. He plans to tell other countries not to believe the US when they negotiate on climate change and carbon emissions! Good for you Jimbo, tell the world YOUR country sucks!!
Number 3, we have Jim DeMint of good 'ole S. Carolina, the trustworthy state. He's back from a trip to Honduras, whos government, we as a country do not recognize. Seems he has had a "very productive" meeting with their military government!
OK people, what the hell is going on here?? The Repugs are out to deliberately undermine the Obama administration. They are trying to push foreign policy in their direction so voters in the midterm can distinguish between the two parties. Yea right, 'VOTE REPUG, They Know Their Shit When It Comes To Foreign Policy!!' That'll be their slogan LOL!!
Rachel says " we've got this sort of active attempt to undermine America's policy goals abroad with this anti-diplomacy."
Chris Hayes of The Nation was Rachels guest, he said this....."Well, there is a strategy insofar as it's every sort of step that's taken is an opportunity to try to embarrass the president essentially, right? And very crucial to the emerging sort of conservative right-wing narrative about Obama is that he thinks that, you know, through his sheer force of personality, he's going to have other nations bend to his will. And so, to whatever degree they can undermine him on the global stage is the degree to which they can kind of cut against whatever perceived global authority the president has.
And that's very important because, A, I don't think they want him to be successful in reaching out in the kind of diplomatic fashion in the broad strategic sense that he's outlined because it really cuts against this sort of very jingoistic, militaristic, go-it-alone foreign policy that's been the bedrock of the Republican Party and conservative right for a very long time now."
We have a president who is using diplomacy, thats what this country so desperately needed after 8 years of going it alone bullshit. So, go ahead fucktards and remind the people what it was like with Bush/Cheney. You are doing Democrats a great service by your anti-American activities!
Thanks Infidel! You can read his comment, and he left us this interesting piece from Reuters Life I'd like to share right here.....
The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll. It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan which completed the top five nations in the Nation Brand Index (NBI).
“What’s really remarkable is that in all my years studying national reputation, I have never seen any country experience such a dramatic change in its standing as we see for the United States for 2009,” said Simon Anholt, the founder of NBI, which measured the global image of 50 countries each year.
