President Barack Obama has recently completed the most successful foreign policy tour since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. You name it, he blew it. What was his big deal economic programme that he was determined to drive through the G20 summit? Another massive stimulus package, globally funded and co-ordinated. Did he achieve it? Not so as you'd notice.
[MOD CUT/copyright] Love it!! He has it exactly right.
Again; What did obama accomplish? Some good photo-ops? Images?
One from (gasp) Newsmax!
Newsmax.com - Obama Earns 'A' for Europe Trip (http://www.newsmax.com/ruddy/Obama_Europe_success/2009/04/06/200338.html - broken link)
What I am actually doing is exactly the same thing you are.
No, you're not.
The "facts" (concessions and committments he got) from his European tour are just that, facts, indisputable facts on the record.
Compare that to what he was hoping to accomplish;
Thousands more combat troops for Afghanistan, Europe following his lead by spending trillions they don't have for stimulus, strong sanction from the UN regarding NK's missile launch - what am I missing?
The results; 5000 (300 temporary) troops for Afghanistan, rebuke from Europe on the spending spree, a big fat goose egg from the UN on NK (China and Russia must be loving this, how they refused to even issue a statement voicing "concern").
What a friggin leader.
Nothing will be done under his watch on NK and Iran will have a nuclear bomb - then what.
Thanks Newtoli....allow me to put in BOLD what the reality really is.

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll found that 79 percent of Americans surveyed feel that Obama has had a "more positive" effect on how people in other countries view the United States. Only 19 percent of those surveyed thought he's had a "more negative" effect.
