...just when you thought he couldn't be any more clueless...

I mean, really, this is our PRESIDENT. It's pathetic, way to help our world image. He is the joke of the world for crying out loud. I would be utterly ashamed and embarrassed if I were one of the fools who voted this idiot in to office. He is truly showing his lack of experience and lack of class (once again). Unfortunately it is embarrassing for all of us, not just the ones who voted him in.

Aside from this most recent embarrassment, you can read a bunch of newsworthy items here, items which you surely won't get to hear about on MSNBC...

Obama bungle produces 'worst US-Japan summit in history'
Thomas Lifson

A magazine in Tokyo is reporting that President Obama's summit with Japanese
Prime Minister Hatoyama was a frosty disaster, precipitated by incompetence on
both sides and an entirely avoidable diplomatic slight to the Japanese side by
Obama. The visit was abruptly re-scheduled, seriously inconveniencing the
Emperor of Japan, as well as the Prime Minister, whose intricate schedules
require meticulous planning and coordination.


Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun cites an unnamed insider at the Foreign
Ministry, who delivers a devastating account of not merely a failure to agree,
but figurative slaps in the face of the rude president, delivered in
retaliation. If true, President Obama has demonstrated high-handed arrogance
once again, and antagonized a key ally, weakening a relationship of critical
security and economic importance to the United States.



"To tell you the truth, it had to have been the worst US-Japan Summit Meeting in
history," a source of ours at the Foreign Ministry revealed to us.


A summary translation of the Japanese-only publication appears on Free Republic,
posted by someone with the screen name American in Tokyo. Shukan Bunshun is one
of the most prominent magazines in Japan. Although Japanese weeklies tend to be
gossipy and not always completely reliable, the corporate parent of Bunshun (as
it is familiarly known), Bungeishunju, is a very prestigious publishing company
with a track record of exposing serious political scandal. It awards Japan's
most important literary honor, the Akutagawa Prize.


It may well be that the magazine's source had some scores to settle within the
ministry, for the Japanese side is also criticized for not having its act
together. But the late schedule change, forcing the Japanese side to adjust for
Obama's convenience, is the sort of slight that tends to anger the Japanese.
Here is the meat of Obama's bungle, as reported in the weekly:


The plan was for Obama to arrive in Japan on the November 12, have his summit
meeting with Hatoyama on the 13th, and thereby jet out of Japan the following
day, the 14th to Singapore for the APEC Summit meeting. The US journalist also
revealed that the Obama administration made the sudden request to change this
schedule for Obama to the 13th (arrival in Japan), on November 7. Said the same
US journalist source, "their excuse for the delay was the shooting at Ft. Hood,
Texas on the US Army base on November 5. But the fact of the matter is, the
memorial service was on the November 10 and only took a day trip for Obama
whereupon he returned immediately to Washington. After that, he had the
National Security Council meeting on policy in Afghanistan on November 11th.
However, he could have departed Washington D.C. right after that and could have
still landed in Japan as everyone agreed and planned on, for the 12th."

--Additional screw-ups that created a possible conflict with the Emperor's
schedule and the entire Cabinet celebrating his 20 years on the throne, can be
traced to the Japanese Foreign Ministry. A ruling Democratic Party of Japan
spokesperson said "at any rate, with four days in China for Obama, the fact is
China is the big thing for them."


--Obama was made to wait five minutes in a car at the entrance way to the Prime
Minister's Official Residence, which as seen as not only a diplomatic
discourtesy, but a breach of security procedures, and furthermore it would be
recalled the Prime Minister and his wife had kept Obama waiting for a long time
in Pittsburg at the G-20 dinner as well, says foreign affairs specialist Oyama.


--It may have been felt as a diplomatic slight to get back at the Americans
because of the very sudden, troublesome last minute schedule change.


The American media aren't reporting the story, and so far Bunshun is the only
Japanese source reporting it, so far as I know.


Either President Obama wants to anger America's traditional allies, as he is
doing with the British, or he is simply a self-involved fool who can't imagine
others aren't thrilled with everything he does. Considering his botched bow, I
am going with the second hypothesis, for the moment. The bow made him appear to
be a sophomoric bumpkin.
