Funny <sarcasm>. now below are quotes from the above article which points to my statement above.
President Obama, following signs of tension between the U.S. and some of its key allies around the world, moved Tuesday to try to patch things up with one of those allies -- and analysts say the president needs to do even more.On specific policy, Sarkozy is anxious for the United States to lead the push for firm global financial regulations and is frustrated at the slow pace of getting a solid Iran sanctions package.
Conley said Sarkozy's New York remarks reflect that Europe wants "the United States to engage them and work together with them to fight these global challenges. They don't want the United States to focus on the challenges and make an assumption that the allies will be closely following behind."
The verbal finger-wagging from Sarkozy comes on the heels of a study released in Great Britain that concluded Britain "needs to be less deferential and more willing to say no" to the United States.
The Obama administration twice postponed a trip to Indonesia -- the country where Obama spent four years of his childhood and which is the most populous Islamic nation.
While President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's spokesmen down-played the postponements, the Indonesian press was critical, reporting the trip was delayed "after a political debacle at home over health reform forced him to remain in Washington."
Particularly worrisome for the United States is its ongoing disagreement with Israel over new settlement construction. The announcement earlier this month, in the middle of Vice President Biden's visit, by an Israeli official that construction in disputed East Jerusalem was going forward touched off what may be a low point in U.S.-Israeli relations.
Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hammered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration for the perceived slight, and while Obama himself said relations between the two allies remain strong, a face-to-face meeting with Netanyahu in Washington yielded no public breakthroughs.
Rubin cited another recent spat with Great Britain that happened when Clinton -- on a trip to Argentina -- voiced her support for that country's call to re-open talks over the Falkland Islands. Rubin said such statements undermine the trust U.S. allies have in Washington. "The U.S. is getting a reputation, basically, of a country that cannot be trusted for more than five minutes at a time and that's not the way to build a healthy stable world and it's not the way to promote U.S. interests."

Obama could be giving out gold bricks and FOX would call it a crises

So, are you saying that none of the above actually happened or is your blind hatred for a television news network keeping you from addressing the topic?
Strange, last month he was kissing their asses and shaming America with his bowing and apologies.
His bowing and apologies demean not only our country, but also the office of the President of the United States of America. As a head of state, it's acceptable to give a brief, but not deep, bow to other heads of state especially if bowing is the acceptable form of greeting in their country. To bow deeply to another head of state the way he did is a sign that you are placing yourself beneath the person you're bowing to. It's a sign of weakness.
Obama is as stupid as Bush was,he's absolutely clueless and doesn't realize how he's viewed around the world,he's suffering from a "GOD COMPLEX".Hopefully after the midterm elections this tool is hobbled in his efforts to damage the US further.
