This is how his weak and groveling foreign policy pays off. Its an embarrassment. His friends Chavez and Ahmadinejad are no less disdainful. He gets less respect than Bush did. When will this weakling of a president wake up to the fact that groveling to scoundrels will get him and America nowhere???

What do you propose, that we bomb Cuba because they insulted our president? Anyway, this kind of anti-USA rhetoric has been going on before Obama. Under Bush things got really ugly.

Can't make everyone happy. Anyway, you should be happy. Do you really want Cuba, Venezuela, or Iran to be friends with Obama? Guess he might not be as socialist as you thought he was.

Completely apart from raising our image in the world, 0bama is making himself a person of ridicule.

Quote:
Obama had arrived in town early, exhorted the summit to act instead of talk and dived into negotiations. By the afternoon, he was frustrated with Chinese officials, who sent low-level ministers to multination bargaining sessions. The Americans had clashed with the Chinese throughout the conference on the issue of transparency in enforcing emission limits.

Obama asked aides to arrange a second meeting of the day with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, with whom he had a comfortable relationship.

At the appointed meeting time, an administration official said, the president found Wen in a room that surprisingly also included the leaders of Brazil, India and South Africa, some of whom the United States had believed to be headed for the airport in defeat.

Obama hails Copenhagen deal as 'unprecedented breakthrough' -- latimes.com
You get that, the 0bama administration was told all those leaders were at the airport, and could not meet with him. Then he finds them all in a secret meeting that he was not even invited to attend. Other news reports say that 0bama did not even have a chair, he had to ask an aid for the Brazilian President to give up his chair. Still other reports say that some meetings were trying to keep Robert Gibbs and his people out of them too. I'll Mugabe gets more respect these days.

Just some constructive criticism:

I don't believe using a link quoting a member of a disreputable regime to discredit the president is what you want to do. Your criticism would be more credible if a similar quote came from an ally of the U.S.

rhetoric?...i guess rhetoric is when all the leaders of the third world nation knew they were voting no to this new carbon tax but yet arrogant Obama doesn't care what the people there think as he doesn't care what we think and he still says that they will come to an agreement no matter what....lol...he is a tyrant ...and nobody sees it because they are fixated on his friendly face and color of skin....seems there are so many blind people out here that pick sides instead of seeing the real truth of what is behind the decisions and what the agenda is for decisions the elite make

Imagine how the Cubans felt when they had to listen to radio free america for the decades.
Can you say propaganda?

'Radio Free Cuba' Wins Backing of U.S. Senate - New York Times

The Senate approved today the designation of United States Government-financed radio broadcasts directed at Cuba as a Radio Free Cuba.

Senator Jesse Helms, Republican of North Carolina, introduced the proposal, which was included in the State Department spending authorization bill adopted by voice vote.

Senator Helms said in a statement on the floor of the Senate: ''The broadcasts should be geared toward telling Cubans the hard facts about the Castro regime.''

The Voice of America, the radio arm of the International Communications Agency, now has five and a half hours of daily broadcasts in Spanish from a transmitter in the Florida Keys that is heard in Cuba and other Caribbean countries.
