Gabor Steingart / Spiegel Online: Obama's Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage

When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a new tone of respect and diplomacy. His recent trip to Asia, however, showed that it's not working. A shift to Bush-style bluntness may be coming. [...]

... "it had to have been the worst US-Japan Summit Meeting in history".

Or so he accentuated the positive results of such a meeting with Obama. But the internal fact of the matter is, the US-Japan Summit Meeting was MISERABLE...

Check Freepers' translation of a Tokyo Newspaper...Japan.  The worst trip ever complete with an embarrassing bow.

STACLU: US Media Ignores Obama’s Muffed Japan Visit

[...] In another slight to Japan, a Japanese ruling party spokesman noted that it was obvious to them that Obama was more interested in China on this trip anyway as four days were scheduled for the Communists while only two were scheduled for them.

The magazine notes that Obama was left waiting in a car for five minutes at the entrance to the Prime Minister’s Official Residence and this may have been a message of rebuke sent toObama by Japanese officials for the president’s abrupt change of schedule. [...]

Good job!

Pamela Geller: Another Obama Spectacular Failure: "Barack Obama's first visit to Asia since his inauguration was one of the most disappointing trips by any U.S. president to the region in decades"

Another trip, another spectacular Obama failure. He is consistent in his impotence, is he not? And he will use any excuse to back away from his failures. When it comes to failing America, Obama never disappoints.

I find Axelrod's plea for taking "the long view" really rich, like we did for President Bush, right? The Bush doctrine needed the long view. The long view on fighting jihad perhaps but for sucking up and standing down on American hegemony. I think not. [...]

Der Spiegel: This Obama Fellow Is Quite The Wimp, Isn't He?

I love me some schadenfreude as much as anyone (especially made in the original German) but this is serious stuff. There's no issue on the world stage where we are better off than we were a year ago (except maybe Iraq and that's no thanks to Obama). I know Team Obama says all this self induced humiliation will pay dividends down the road but as the Der Speigel article goes on to note, Jimmy Carter tried this and we all know how that ended.

I know this all stuff we've saying here for almost two years now but the world is finally catching up and realizing 52% of Americans elected an empty suit as President (and not even a nice hand tailored one but an off the rack, department store clearance sale suit). [...]

All of this is "Rather" interesting but, where have these newsies been since 2006?

Obama’s “New Tone” in Foreign Policy Gets No Result and Weakens America

Gathering consensus: Obama’s Asia trip a flop

[...] Clearly, Obama is in way over his head, and his choice for Secretary of State isn’t helping.  He needs a seasoned diplomat at the helm of State, and he needs to abandon his “smart power,” “reset buttons,” and campaign trail-style diplomacy in exchange for professionalism and protocol.  And he needs to do it fast, before our allies in the Pacific and Europe write him off entirely.

Barack Obama dream fades as China visit fails to bring change

Even his allies feel let down by the president’s lack of progress both in Asia and at home [...]

Assessing the China Trip

We were especially disappointed that China made no discernible move to join with the United States and other major powers in threatening tougher sanctions if Iran fails to make progress on curbing its nuclear weapons program. President Obama should have made clear in his private talks that the United States and Europe will act anyway if Beijing and Moscow block United Nations Security Council action. [...]

Obama.  He sucks and is merely on a global site-seeing trip.
