It's An Obama World

Within a few short days of his inauguration the world knew what Obama's policy with respect to the rest of the world would be. His apology tour of Europe informed them that he and his administration would be kissing serious foreign booty. His bowing to a Saudi King informed the Arab world that the US was weak and subservient. His recent visit to the middle east represented an explicit acknowledgment that in his foreign policy - Islam comes first, before traditional and long time US ally like Israel. The Obama administration has done nothing about North Korea except throw a few empty platitudes that the country's leader Kim Jong Il (An interesting and scary read here: North Korea declares all-out push for nuclear weapons). And now we are expected to be hearted by the Obama's administration when it pretends to condemn the Iranian elections, which by the way turned out as expected for those of us who actually pay attention to such things. There is a feigned outrage and shock by State mouth piece Clinton (see my previous post here.) If I were an Iranian dissident I wouldn't look to the US for an support or encouragement. When it comes to actually and forcefully engaging the world and rogue states, It's an Obama World: lots of green house gas emissions from a lot of talking heads - Talk about Bovine Flatulence.
