Welcome back! Glad to have you here. Please let me know how I might serve you today.
UPDATE: from the guys at NewsBusters.com:
This well written article over at American Thinker sums up where we are in terms of the country’s Commander in Chief. From my perch, I think “clueless” is much too endearing a term. I have other, more realistic thoughts.
As a poster said over at Lucianne.com: “In case you missed it live here it is. Do not hurl things at your computer screen in disgust; you’ll only regret it later. The First Narcissist and Community Organizer-in-Chief demonstrates before the entire nation how he is in no way presidential and is totally clueless.”
Here’s the intro to the article and the link to the whole thing:

Twelve soldiers were murdered in cold blood at Fort Hood, Texas. Thirty others were wounded. Our Commander in Chief calls a press conference and begins it with a long thanks to the Department of the Interior and Native Americans who just concluded a conference and then gives a good natured “shout out” to an attendee , all with a studied nonchalance, before he even mentions the outrage on our military base.

For about a year now, I’ve been hearing that American isn’t respected around the world anymore; that with the election of Obama all that would change.
Well, you can imagine my shock (and awe!) over this rather B–*ch slap all the way from India. While “Rome Burns” all around us (meaning that that great leader and commander in chief can’t make any decision(s) on Afganistan, etc. – he’s off to Denmark to save the Olympics for Chicago) the rest of the world is actually watching. Appalled!

But I love this line from the article: There has been a remarkable absence of clarity on Mr Obama’s strategic goals. In the early months, it was easy to pretend he was making up his mind. Now, it would seem he has no mind.

Obama is ruining India’s security climate
He may not relish the comparison but it is now becoming increasingly obvious that Mr Barack Obama is the most hostile American President for India since Richard Nixon. In the eight months he has been in office, Mr Obama has snubbed India more than once. He has sent repeated signals that New Delhi is not integral to his Asian security architecture. Partly as a result of his country’s economic crisis, he has bent over backwards to accommodate China. His open advocacy of protectionism has been most visibly targeted at outsourcing of technology jobs to India. He headlined anti-trade legislation by saying it would punish those who created jobs in Bangalore rather than Buffalo, a special mention that was extraordinarily impolitic and did not go unnoticed in India. In contrast, the tariff war against Chinese tyres has not been posited in such stark bilateral terms. This past week, the Obama team reversed a decade of American nuclear pragmatism and went back to an outdated non-proliferation agenda that should have died, really, in the 1990s. Once more, India has been asked to give up its nuclear weapons and sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a second-tier power. Most alarmingly, Mr Obama has swung wildly on Afghanistan-Pakistan (AfPak). At various points his diplomats and Generals have said different things. Yet, in all this the overarching political message has been missing.
