(My new American Thinker post)
President Obama’s trip to China and the “stairs” incident put the bow on two terms of trying to popular rather than respected. I just hope that #45 understands what he or she is walking into.
This is what happened in China, as explained by Dr. Krauthammer:
The president of the United States lands with all the majesty of Air Force One, waiting to exit the front door and stride down the rolling staircase to the red-carpeted tarmac.
Except that there is no rolling staircase.
He is forced to exit — as one China expert put it rather undiplomatically — through “the ass” of the plane.
We don’t know if the incident was planned or accidental. However, all of the leaders got the usual treatment and “hope and change” didn’t. And no one apologized for doing this to the president of the U.S. As they say, actions speak louder than words.
It started in Egypt in 2009 with a speech that blamed the U.S., followed by a revolution in Iran that he didn’t pay attention to, a withdrawal from Iraq that left a vacuum for ISIS to grow and expand in, to drawing a red line that he didn’t enforce, to making a deal with Cuba that benefited the Castros not the U.S., to an Iran nuclear deal that he was desperate to make no matter how much cash the other side demanded, to allowing Iran boats to bully the U.S. Navy to Russian MiGs flying feet over our ships.
Wonder what’s next on the long line of cheap shots at the U.S.?
We are living in extremely dangerous times and President Obama does not have a clue. Worse than that, no one in the U.S. media is bothering to ask him about it or hold him accountable for the disarray. The media is obsessed with Trump, Mrs. Clinton is promising not to send ground troops and our enemies are enjoying it a great deal.
The Chinese forgot the donkey to remind our president that he is a Democrat and something else that I’ll leave to your imagination.
P.S. You can listen to my show (Canto Talk) and follow me on Twitter.
So, in China he had to step out through the ass of the plane? And in Cuba, raul didn’t go to the airport to meet him. If I remember correctly, his entourage were basically on its own. Obama is a piece of crap.
It’s not just the fact that he doesn’t respect his nation. He doesn’t respect anyone that respects theirs. This socially/racially resented bluff has made it his duty to favor and make friends with the enemies of progress.
To any nationalist he is a disgust, to any enemy a joke, and to any ally a betrayer. It’s time for this pretentious and opportunistic piece of crap to go and perhaps vent his unsolved daddy issues somewhere else.
The problem is not Obama. The problem is too many Americans are not Americans and do not act in the best interests of this country (there’s a similar problem among Cubans). Yes, Obama is a disgrace, but not so much to himself as to those who have enabled him and still support him, or at least cover for him.
Can anyone picture a President Trump leaving that plane? I believe he would have stayed on board and ordered the plane to take off and be flown out of that country at once. Then he would figure out creative ways to punish that country.
What would Hillary do? Whatever, the press would not report the snub.
But if it happened to Trump, the press would 24/7 make hay out of it.
