As President Obama (all praise be to him) begins his Nuclear Summit this week, the leaders of two countries are extremely noteworthy in their absence, Israel and Great Britain.   Having been staunch allies through the years, why are they not in attendence this week, backing us up, as friends normally do? 

Let’s take a quick look at how the Obama Administration has treated these two long time friends since taking office.  First, the Administration gave back a bust of Sir Winston Churchill that had been sitting in the oval office for decades.  Then, they tried to squirm out of it by accepting other gifts from Britain.  How did the Brits feel about that?  I’ll let the Guardian explain: 

In return for a pen holder carved from the timbers of the sister ship of the one the White House desk is made from and a first edition of a seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill, the Mail is appalled that “Barack Obama, the leader of the world’s richest country” gave Brown a box set of 25 DVDs selected by the American Film Institute. These, it says, include Raging Bull, Casablanca, Psycho and The Graduate. It is, the Mail says, “a gift about as exciting as a pair of socks“.

… Was it only yesterday a commentary in the (London) Times bemoaned the supposed injustice of the Browns giving the Obama’s daughters Top Shop dresses (with matching necklaces) when all their parents gave the Brown boys were models of the presidential helicopter Marine One? Yes it was.

And how have Scooter and his minions treated Israel?   This from FoxNews.com: 

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Obama walked out of his meeting with Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a U.S. congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

 “It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.

Left to talk among themselves Netanyahu and his aides retreated to the Roosevelt Room. He spent a further half-hour with Obama and extended his stay for a day of emergency talks to try to restart peace negotiations.

So who is attending?  A very long list including, representatives from Western Europe, Eastern Europe, India, China, Vietnam, South Korea, Jordan, South America, and The United Nations Administrative Body.

So, in this bizarro-world American Foreign Policy that the Obama Administration calls Smart Power, are our enemies now our friends, and our friends now our enemies?   I feel like Sheriff J.W. Pepper, in Roger Moore’s first movie as James Bond Agent 007, Live and let Die: 

 A spy?  On whose side?

  

The Obama Administration is naive at best and treasonous at worst.   Where will the foreign policy of this out-of-control Administration lead us?   I think this video sums it up best, buckaroos.
