Not quite sure I see the connection. This administration's policy has been to bolster international support for foreign policy. Where it counts, they've failed.

Oh sure, the Obamapologists like him and appreciate what he had to say (21% last I heard) on the situation, but that's a tiny minority.

I don't see that. May be you could elaborate on it?

As I expect of you, the ones who cry the most about a collective mindset are the ones who use it the most.

Interesting. Why do you think the Arab League withdrew support?

It didn't. Some countries did, and for political reasons. Hey, no country voted against the resolution, but five chose to be "neutral". Take a guess why (namely, China, Russia, India, Brazil and Germany).

Less oil booty to be had? That is my opinion. What's yours?

Well, you get at least that. Consequently, the problem wasn't the resolution or exceeding it, but oil.

We don't need anyone to come to our aide. PERIOD

What makes you think we can't take care of our own when they get out of line. I am my own army, with millions just like me.

You seem to think FEMA is the save all of natural disasters.
We handled things much better, more efficient and faster, before FEMA.

Guess you don't know the history of the USA, before FEMA!!! It shows tremendously.

Educate yourself with just one or two of the major disasters and the efforts to help and rebuild, before FEMA.

Lets see...

SF earthquake and the Galveston Hurricane, at the turn of the last century. Let me know what you find out???
I never said a word about FEMA??????

He better announce to the world what the hell his intentions are!
It makes the USA look very bad around the world when he doesn't.
He looks bad when he takes off to Brazil as he starts a war.

You disgust me. How dishonest can one be and look at yourself in the mirror?
Some people just don't have a conscious, especially when their Hero screws up so royally.
