And the triviots strike again. His trip is a success. He hasn't gotten everything he wanted, but he got a lot farther than did Bush. And he's laid a great foundation for progress in the future on a number of fronts. He's smart, and the G20 leaders were very impressed.

Calling it "humiliating" is just your pathetic attempt to try and smear our President. It's a good thing that most Americans are much smarter than you.

Keep whining and ankle-biting. Complain about 'ums.' Complain about teleprompters. Your attempts are a miserable failure, just like your former dolt-in-chief. And we're laughing at you.

Time to eat some crow:


Obama pleased with NATO allies' pledges of Afghan support - CNN.com

"President Barack Obama on Saturday said he is "pleased that our NATO allies pledged their strong and unanimous support" for the new U.S. strategy toward fighting militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Obama spoke at the end of a two-day NATO summit in Strasbourg, France. One of the main topics of discussion was the war against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.America's NATO allies in Afghanistan are committing 3,000 combat troops and 400 more paramilitary trainers to the fight against the Taliban, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs announced earlier Saturday."

I trust him. I don't need guarantees. I trust him. I trust his word. And I trust his intelligence. He doesn't need me in order to understand that a strong Europe -- a strong Europe of defense is the best guarantee for the USA. President Obama's America doesn't want weak allies. They want strong allies who face up to their responsibilities. And we've been discussing this for a long time.

Yes - it is an epic failure of W to not get the Afghanistan situation under control and starting an un-needed war in Iraq. We all are paying for the one of the worst presidents ever.
