Obama Sees Success in Failure        

           President Obama has been rebuked at every stop in his current over the top world tour.  In the latest round of discussions among the Group of 20 in Seoul, South Korea, three major players, China, Britain and Germany, have all rejected Mr. Obama’s strategy for addressing the world’s economic downturn.  In addition, South Korea has balked at finalizing a trade plan with the United States and China has lectured Mr. Obama on the policies of our Federal Reserve (and we agree with China on this one).  

          Contrast this with the headlines across Europe the summer before Obama was elected proclaiming him ‘A President for the World’.  In just less than two years, Mr. Obama has squandered our prestige by spending our country into near bankruptcy, weakening our military, and bowing to world leaders on his apology tours.  If his goal as a socialist was to diminish the United States in the world and undermine our exceptionalism, he has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.  For those of us who love America it is heartbreaking to see the United States sidelined on the world stage.
