The NYT reports:
"China held firm against most American demands. With China's
micro-management of Mr. Obama's appearances in the country, the trip
did more to showcase China's ability to push back against outside
pressure than it did to advance the main issues on Mr. Obama's agenda,
analysts said."

The Washington Post: "If there was any
significant change during this trip, in fact, it was in the United
States' newly conciliatory and sometimes laudatory tone. . . . Obama's
trip stood in stark contrast to visits by his predecessors."

The Times stated that Obama was given "less respect than was given presidents Bush or Clinton."

The Times stated that Obama was given "less respect than was given presidents Bush or Clinton."

All of the above quotes can be found in this highly recommended post by Seth Leibsohn. He concluded his piece:

"Not
a very good first year for America, or the world, under a new
leadership that promised a new respect, a new start, and a new way of
doing business. It's new alright - it just isn't any good."

We have a failed presidency that cannot be retrieved. The dream cannot
be rebuilt because there was never a foundation to begin with. It was
all show and no substance. Yes, it created much excitement and (false)
hope. But so did Elmer Gantry and James Jones. However, the image was
akin to an old Hollywood set, all facade and no depth. Now the winds of
reality are slowly and inexorably tearing the facade away.

The
politicians in Congress see these same signs and read the polls. At
this point they are trying to decide what is least dangerous for their
individual careers. For the Republicans that probably means pouring
gasoline on Obama's burning ship of state. For the Democrats, it is a
more difficult problem. Ultimately, I believe they will abandon ship.
Politicians of both parties are like rats; they are survivors. All
politicians will take that course which they believe gives them the
best chance for individual survival. Loyalty be damned.[/quote

debbyski is crying her eyes out because she can't understand "who in the [bleep] would make a clip like...."

Second, if we were to go through all of her clips on George Bush? Cry us a river debbyski, BOOHOO, And guess what, this isn't the last clip you will hear about Obama FAIL so get used to it. Oh no, this is just the beginning. You have a good three years left to hear about Obama, and if Deb thinks she's gonna bully me out of creating clips about Obama FAIL, then she sorely mistaken.

tazmanium, libs are still blaming Bush for everything, including their own erectile dysfunction. No one expects you to take responsibility for yourself. Personal responsibility can be a scary thing if you're not used to it.

And chadhumblib, Obama won the election fair and square. Americans still think liberals are useless morons, but Americans didn't vote for Obama because of his liberal policies. They voted for his HOPEY CHANGE. His approval ratings speak for themselves. Personally, I don't vote for candidates like Obama who hang out with terrorists, sit in a church for 20 years with a racist and hateful minister; I could go on, but Obama's character is so awful to begin with. Hillary would've been a much better pick for the Dems. McCain wasn't my choice, but I'll be sure to send you an invitation to my next birthday party.
