America’s mistake continued his whirlwind ‘Blame America’ tour by attending the Conference of the America’s last week. I haven’t seen a political bitch-slapping like that since Reagan / Gorbachev in Geneva and again in Iceland. There are similarities, only this time it’s our president that got PWNED!
Let’s compare the two meetings and see how one made us proud to be Americans, the other made us shameful to be Americans.
Photos from back when America had a President that was unapologetically proud of his country. |
When Reagan met Gorbachev, he knew that he had to make a slam dunk appearance. He needed to show the world that he was in charge and that the Soviets, and Gorby, were his puppets.
Reagan arrived early and once inside ordered his entourage to remove their heavy overcoats. Gorbachev arrived in his plain black commie car, exited, and looked like a grumpy, old, out of touch relic. He looked unhappy and was all bundled up in his black winter coat and hat. He waddled toward the building when all of a sudden WHAM! Here comes Reagan bursting out the door with an ear to ear grin wearing only his suit. He ran over to Gorby, grabbed his hand and shook it firmly, and in a final push to drive home the ‘I own you’ point, Reagan starts leading him into the building and pointing out various things. Now, Reagan probably had no idea what those things were or what the rooms were in the building, but images are everything. It was clear Gorby was coming to Reagan’s ‘house’. I felt bad for Gorby, he looked like a lost child on his first day of school.
The two became wonderful friends. It was a friendship built on respect. Even though Regan was a master at appearances, I think he still had a great deal of respect for Gorbachev. Those two leaders brought an end to the Cold War and Gorbachev ushered in the rebuilding of Russia and her partner states. That's where respect and leadership get you… toward results.

Now lets skip ahead twenty-some years and take a look at how to embarrass your country and make it’s citizens feel weak and insecure.
America’s mistake made it clear that he was the novice, inexperienced, and naive representative at the table. He was treated like political chum to the masses of America hating dictators that paraded him around for endless photo ops that will be used for propaganda to quell the masses into thinking their leader is going to tell America what to do… And they’re right! Obama was given a book by Chavez called “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent”. I’m sure this America bashing best seller was already in the Obama library, as it was probably required reading in Rev. Wright’s church. The sad and pathetic thing is that thousands of mindless libtards went online to order their own copy! Are they trying to complete the Obama Book Club “Blame America” series? Unbelievable.
Is it too much to ask that our President doesn’t go all weak-kneed over the gifts bestowed upon him by 3rd world dictators… And his mindless followers tow right along!

Obama playing Hugo’s best friend. Take the book, Barry… Take it ALL. Note the trendy “Hey, I’m a 21st century leader” handshake. |
I think another blogger got it right on the head:
What Hugo Chavez reads or recommends is his business. What President Obama reads is his business, also. But when an America-hating dictator uses a naive politician to advance his destructive agenda and in so doing elevates obscure, leftist political propaganda to the top of Amazon.com....that is the business of the American people. And we are paying rapt attention. Here's the kicker. Make no assumptions about where I'm coming from. I've been a Democrat my entire life and I'm appalled by President Obama's lack of awareness.
Wow – well said!
