The big picture here is simple...
Bowing before other world leaders or various other "miscues" in the Obama World...Yeah, yeah, yeah...It's NOT the end of the world...
But these ARE examples of broken protocol, failure of leadership, and a willingness to insult America's OWN "local customs" (Like not putting his hand over his heart during a rendition of OUR national anthem or refusing to wear a lapel pin with the American flag)...I guess offending THOSE "cultural sensitivities" are hunky-dory when the offended are a large portion of the people he says he wanted to represent...:roll:
At some point, (and I'm generalizing here) the "Right" would like an admission from Obama's supporters that the person they voted for DID SOMETHING WRONG instead of saying "That's so small it doesn't need to be worried about."...
I hate to tell you, but 300 "small things" is a big thing...It's a pattern that, at SOME point, the average person would start to question his actions...:yes:
But instead, EVERYTHING that Obama has done is defended with vigor instead of a simple admission of "Yeah...OK...THAT ONE is pretty stupid and offensive"...
Giving the leader of the United Kingdom DVDs as a gift???....And they don't even work on that continent???....
"No problem" Obama supporters say...Maybe Gordon Brown was stupid for not having an American-style DVD player handy for emergency situations...:roll:
Giving the Queen of England an iPod filled with speeches of himself?...."That's not narcissism...That's elegance.", they say...
Bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia?...
"I didn't see any bow!" yells the President's spokesperson Robert Gibbs, as if auditioning for Sergeant Schultz in a remake of Hogan's Heroes...
Hell!...even the Secretary of State got into the mix when she had a button that was SUPPOSED to say "RESET" on a button showing how relations were to start fresh with Russia and the button said "OVERCHARGED"...
Isolated, these may be simple mistakes...
But the PATTERN shows that the current administration is inept, lacking discipline, is lazy in it's knowledge of protocol, and still hasn't gotten past the first three pages of a book on leadership skills...
I'm sure Obama detractors aren't 100% correct in every single accusation, but I'm equally sure his supporters aren't 100% correct either...But they sure do think they are...
