He put Hillary in there for appeasement and to keep an eye on her. Then he appointed several special envoys so he could side step her and state, it follows the same pattern as moving the census to the Whitehouse, appointing Czars and trying to use White House office of budget, instead of the CBO for cost figures for health-care reform. It is all a method to consolidate power in the Executive Branch.StlDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962630369585325054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-52673865967996625762009-06-16T17:52:12.812-04:002009-06-16T17:52:12.812-04:00barry is doing to britain what he's done to th...barry is doing to britain what he's done to the american people for the last eternal months: spreading the charm, then bending 'em over.<br /><br />i loved the part about britain being "pissed" in the article i read. welcome to our stae of mind. eesh.pattihttp://www.notawonk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-80227934816953750592009-06-16T16:22:25.567-04:002009-06-16T16:22:25.567-04:00If ignorance is bliss, Barry’s one peaceful SOB.

That would fit with Chicago-style politics.<br /><br />What makes this even stranger though, is that he and Gordon Brown should be political fellow travelers. So why would he do these things to Brown, particularly at a time when Labor is in such trouble in the polls?<br /><br />Maybe it is personal?<br /><br />Bev,<br /><br />I have a hard time thinking this was a mistake because the career State Department people tend to know these things. But maybe the problem is that they side-stepped State and they are running everything through the White House.<br /><br />I don't know.

Either way it is a naive blunder. Just add it to the list.

I don't think he's smart enough to pull off intentional insult. I think he's extremely provincial and posing as a sophisticate. Despite his currying of the Muslims, I still expect him to have a casual lunch with a Muslim diplomat some day where he orders ham sandwiches for everyone. His naivete scares the hell out of me, so maybe I can't handle the idea that he might actually be planning these things carefully. He's not just any fool, he's the big fool. I can only hope (oops) that I'm right and you're wrong.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-89943353989809930252009-06-16T12:53:28.284-04:002009-06-16T12:53:28.284-04:00Writer X, The MSM hasn't picked this up becau...Writer X, The MSM hasn't picked this up because it's bad for Obama in every way: (1) he angered the Brits and looks like a fool, (2) he is releasing terrorists (in fact there were protests in both Palau and Bermuda, and (3) it reminds us that Gitmo is still open despite his promise to close it the minute he took over the job.<br /><br />And you're right, this does not speak well for North Korea or Iran.<br /><br />Lawhawk, I would normally agree with you, but I wonder if there isn't more of a pattern or philosophy behind this. Why does he keep picking on the Brits? And why do it in a way that any fool would know would be insulting? It could just be incompetence, but it feels like it's something more.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-15916963599825690542009-06-16T12:46:33.638-04:002009-06-16T12:46:33.638-04:00JG, I have to admit to sharing your amazement.

But WHY keep spitting in the face of our best friends? He's got a trade war brewing with Canada. He keeps doing things that any fool knows will anger the British. He created a banking war with Switzerland. Why? How does this help him?<br /><br />Bev, you are 100% correct (as always) about the comparison with Bush. Bush's "unilateral action" was after consultation with foreign leaders, Congressional leaders, and always involved the consent of the government's involved and many of our allies. But hopey changey Obama gets no criticism for doing the very things Bush was wrongly-criticized for doing.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-197681132680084092009-06-16T12:42:27.565-04:002009-06-16T12:42:27.565-04:00Unbelievable.

No sense of past or future, only the here and now. No concept that there are adults out there who have spent decades or centuries building relationships that can be destroyed overnight by changing the rules in the middle of the game. And of course there's the arrogance of the child who knows not only what's best for his group of children, but for everybody else's children too. Obama is an overgrown child who has been given the keys to the most powerful forces on earth.

Oops, did we forget to ask you if that would be okay. How's he going to spin this to be Bush's fault?<br /><br />And since Bermuda's economy depends on American tourism, isn't he putting our citizens at risk? I think a boycott of Bermuda should follow.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-5479918115203264232009-06-16T12:33:18.983-04:002009-06-16T12:33:18.983-04:00It's pretty obvious Obama is making a delibera...It's pretty obvious Obama is making a deliberate effort to turn his back on our European allies. I can understand his desire to build Middle East relations (or, well, I can see why HE would want to) but really, there's no point building up one section of the world while openly dissing the other. I mean, post-WWII, we're allies with England AND Japan. We can do this. He just doesn't want to.JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03116405895683599572noreply@blogger.com
