Some Americans live in a bubble. They only care about how
they feel. They do not care about how they look to the rest of the world.
Guess where they learned that?
Anyway, when selecting a president Americans should ask this
question: will people around the world respect us more if we elect X or Y?
You might believe that people around the world like Barack
Obama more than they liked George Bush. And yet, foreign policy is not a
popularity contest. Besides, the world’s people do not control the governing
institutions in very many of the world’s governments.
Ask yourself this: do the powers-that-be around the world
respect Obama more than they respected Bush? And would they respect America
more if it were led by the world’s leading cuckquean?
Anyway, President Obama is flying off to China for a state
visit and some meetings.
How did the Chinese leadership thrown down the welcoming mat
for him?
Allow the Daily Mail to tell the story:
A mouthpiece
of the Chinese Government has described President Obama as 'insipid' and claims
U.S. voters are sick of his 'banality'.
The
state-run Global Times has published an editorial deriding the leader a few
days ahead of his visit to the growing economic and military powerhouse.
It
stated: 'Obama always utters "Yes, we can," which led to the high
expectations people had for him. But he has done an insipid job, offering
nearly nothing to his supporters.
'U.S.
society has grown tired of his banality.'
The
criticism comes in the wake of a crushing defeat in the Midterm elections worse
even than the most pessimistic forecasts of the Democrats' strategists,
with the Republicans now in control of both the upper and lower Houses of
Congress.
The
Global Times lists the 'lame-duck' president's perceived failures in foreign
policy and the economy.
It said
Obama took: 'U.S. troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but left no peace.
'Osama
bin Laden was killed during his tenure, but (ISIS) has emerged from the Middle
East.'
Despite
an improvement in the American economy, the editorial criticises his inability
to lower the income gap, claiming ordinary Americans have not benefited from
the recovery.
Does the Chinese government respect America? Do the leaders
of any country respect President Obama?
Surely, the current state of world politics suggests that major world leaders do not respect our president. If they do not respect our president
they surely do not respect us. After all, we made him president.
So, the next time you ask yourself who to vote for, keep in
mind the old slogan:
The
whole world is watching.
If presidential actions are now to be based on PROPAGANDA editorials from economic rivals, we certainly deserve no respect from anyone.
ReplyDeleteIf only we had a government controlled press, we could hide all the messy political fights and give a unified narrative to the world, and then everyone would respect us for our social order.
Maybe the NSA can tell us what all the world leaders really think? But snap(!), foreign leaders might not respect us for spying on them. SNOWDEN, you traiter!!!!
Why would (not 'should') China respect Obama? They may respect our capabilities, but those are diminishing because of him, and they can play the waiting game. Same for Russia.
