Title: Obama Bows, Gives Shoe Shine to Saudi Despot

Somebody Explain THIS to me:

"Snub the Brits, lick the boots of despots" seems to be the sum of BHO's "Smart Diplomacy."

What's wrong with this picture? Americans do not bow to royalty. In my view, when the royal is the ruling tyrant of a despotic regime, the wrong is compounded. Putting aside the breach of American protocol, it is akin to Jimmy Carter succumbing to Brezhnev's infamous kiss at the signing of the arms accord in Vienna in 1979. It is a disgrace. As in Carter's case, Obama's supplicant attitude signifies his spirit. In this respect I distinguish it from George Bush's otherwise embarrasing handholding with the the king.

Yep, as much as I am partial to the Brits and admire their queen's character*, this small-r republican would no more bow to her than I would set my hair on fire and beat it out with a golf shoe.

Photoshop has increasingly become a good metaphor for American society: more fake than real.

We certainly had a "Photoshop election."  For those who doubt that--few on this forum I'm sure--take a look at John Ziegler's documentary MEDIA MALPRACTICE.  It lays out in excruciating detail how this nation got screwed over.  It will infuriate you.

When will America wakeup and realize that we've elected a complete lightweight to the highest office in the land.   We're in deep doo-doo.  This guy is going to get far too many Americans killed.

This has a less than zero chance of going anyplace good or being anything even remotely resembling productive.
