The UK Telegraph offers this take on our “President Pantywaist”:
Barack Obama: President Pantywaist restores the satellite states to their former owner
By Gerald Warner Last updated: September 18th, 2009
Barack Obama’s chances of re-election in three and a half years’ time may be evaporating at unprecedented speed, but his presidential ambitions could still be realised in another direction. He would be a shoo-in to win the next Russian presidential election, so high is his popularity now running in the land of the bear and the knout. Obama has done more to restore Russia’s hegemonial potential in Eastern and Central Europe than even Vladimir Putin.
His latest achievement has been to restore the former satellite states to dependency on Moscow, by wimping out of the missile defence shield plan. This follows on his surrender last July when he voluntarily sacrificed around a third of America’s nuclear capability for no perceptible benefit beyond a grim smile from Putin. If there is one thing that fans the fires of aggression it is appeasement.
Despite propaganda to the contrary, 58 per cent of Poles were in favour of the missile shield. But small nations must assess the political will of larger powers. Thanks to President Pantywaist’s supine policies, the former satellite states can see that they are fast returning to their former status. The American umbrella cannot be relied upon on a rainy day. They have been here before. Poles remember how a leftist US president sold them out to Russia at Tehran and Yalta. The former Czechoslovakia was betrayed twice: in 1938 and 1945.
If the word is out that America is in retreat, it will soon find it has no friends. The satellites will pragmatically accept their restored subordination, without openly acknowledging it, and co-operate with their dangerous neighbour, ushering in a new generation of Finlandisation.
Bringing unstable states like Georgia into Nato would be a liability, not a defence. The crazy notion of a US-Nato-Russian combined defence policy has all the staying power of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Ronald Reagan, assisted by Margaret Thatcher, implemented the sensible principle that Russia, from the time of Peter the Great, respects only strength and steely political will. A pushover in the Oval Office is the best news Russian expansionists have heard since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Barack Obama is selling out America and, by extension, the entire West. This is a catastrophe for America and the wider world.
This comes on the heels of French President Nicholas Sarkozy’s take on Obama as literally living in a dream world:
Obama: “We must never stop until we see the day when nuclear arms have been banished from the face of the earth.”
Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.”
The rest of Sarkozy’s remarks were every bit as amazing:
“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite.
“Iran since 2005 has flouted five security council resolutions. North Korea has been defying council resolutions since 1993.
“I support the extended hand of the Americans, but what good has proposals for dialogue brought the international community? More uranium enrichment and declarations by the leaders of Iran to wipe a UN member state off the map,” he continued, referring to Israel.
The sharp-tongued French leader even implied that Mr Obama’s resolution 1887 had used up valuable diplomatic energy.
“If we have courage to impose sanctions together it will lend viability to our commitment to reduce our own weapons and to making a world without nuke weapons,” he said.
Mr Sarkozy has previously called the US president’s disarmament crusade “naive.”
Political Castaway provides a quick recap of Obama’s foreign policy:
Iraq: less stable; Americans due to withdrawal; violence on the rise.
Iran engaged; engagement failed; Iran emboldened; Iran nuclear program moving forward with unabashed zeal.
Hamas supported; Israel—America’s one true ally in the Middle East—betrayed.
Afghanistan: situation volatile; commander requests more troops to win; Obama resistant.
Libyan government emboldened; crazy UN speech smiled on by US.
Missile Defense culled; Russia appeased.
Guantanamo set to close; no solution to do so; nation less safe; terrorists recently arrested.
He didn’t mention other events such as North Korea repeatedly thumbing their nuclear-tipped nose at us or Obama making a mockery out of ethics and law by supporting dictator Zelaya over the Honduran Constitution. But it’s still a pretty good list for brief rundown purposes.
Here’s my caption for all of this:

Michael, do you think more Americans are ‘waking up’ from their delusional vain imaginations regarding who O is and what he is doing?

I definitely believe that Americans are turning against Obama. The most accurate polls – such as #1 in accuracy/legitimacy Rasmussen – show a clear and alarming (for Obama, not for us) downward trend.
There is always a massive group of Americans who are simply apathetic. They don’t pay attention, they don’t care. And they get their “facts” from late night TV, or from peers who are as ignorant as they are. Fortunately, a lot of them don’t bother to vote, either.
I read an article some time back that pointed out that white seniors were the ONLY group whose participation DROPPED in the 2008 election. They would have voted overwhelmingly McCain – but they didn’t show up. And now many of them may literally DIE for it if ObamaCare passes. They probably won’t make that mistake again. Only 1/3 of them support Obama; the rest are dead set against his health care.
My only fear is that the “third party” “conservatives” will rally conservatives to scatter their votes like rabbits and allow the Democrats to keep winning.
