Bad news

On Thursday, November 29th, while our inept president was lunching with Mitt Romney on leftover turkey doctored up to taste like chili, and something called Southwestern grilled chicken salad, down the road, the UN administered a slap to his face by recognizing the state of Palestine.  It was a sharp rebuke for Israel and the U.S.  It didn't help that Germany, Britain and many other Western nations abstained.  All that pandering and those millions of dollars we invested in keeping that organization afloat, and the president couldn't exercise enough authority to support the will of the American people.

I will not pretend to understand the full scope of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  All I know is that our government has always been allied with Israel who opposes Palestinian statehood, and our president, the officer formerly known as the leader of the free world, was unable to fulfill the promise we made to them.

Also, on Thursday, the leader of our country of religious diversity was lunching when Egypt, now under the control of a dictatorial leader we helped to install, approved a purely Muslim constitution without the participation of a single liberal, secular or Christian member of the panel. 

In the meantime, the president was talking economics with Mitt Romney, an acknowledged business expert.  I suspect he understood Romney about as well as I would a discussion of string theory with Stephen Hawking.  Do you suppose President Obama realizes yet what a boob the world sees him as?
