The left constantly cried that Bush’s “cowboy diplomacy” and “arrogant” approach to foreign policy made America a terrible ally of European nations. Moonbats on both sides of the Atlantic assured us that, if the One was elected, everything in foreign relations wouldbe incense, peppermints and rainbow colored unicorns. It isn’t panning out that way at all…

“The astonishing disregard with which Mr Obama treats Britain has been made clear by his deliberations over the Afghan issue. As he decides how many more troops to send to Afghanistan — a decision which will fundamentally affect the scope of the mission — Britain is reduced to guesswork. The White House does not even pretend to portray this as a joint decision. It is a diplomatic cold-shouldering that stands in contrast not just to the Blair–Bush era, but to the togetherness of the soldiers on the ground… There will, though, inevitably come a time when Obama discovers who America’s true friends really are. Sooner or later he will have to deal with the considerably more taxing issues of Islamist militancy, rogue nuclear states and other tangible threats to the West’s security. At that point, Obama will discover a simple but essential truth. The world divides between those who support American values of freedom and democracy, and those who seek to destroy them. Few nations have been more committed to supporting those values with both blood and treasure than Britain. This country, and especially those British troops fighting alongside their American counterparts, deserve far better than this president’s disregard.”

Obama has been quite consistent in his policy of snubbing American friends while courting our traditional enemies. This policy is not only morally wrong, it will likely lead to the next international crises America faces being far more difficult that it had need be. We shall find that our lifelong friends see us now as a fair weather friend and will rightfully treat us as such when we need them most.

Just another day in the Obamanation.
