true story but it could be nothing

Every day, in every way, he finds new ways to aggrandize his ego and reduce America's position in the world. Ed Driscoll ruminates on this WaPo article on Obama's version of smart diplomacy, which some experts call Stupid Diplomacy.

By Greg Jaffe and Griff Witte April 18 at 8:54 PM For someone who preaches the importance of diplomacy and outreach, even to longtime enemies, President Obama can be awfully tough on his friends.

In recent months, he has offended most of the United States' Persian Gulf allies. "All I need in the Middle East is a few smart autocrats," he joked privately, according to a recent profile in the Atlantic magazine. Publicly, he has said he "weeps" for Saudi and Kuwaiti children....

Even the United Kingdom, a U.S. "special" partner, has received criticism. Obama seemed to blame the postwar chaos in Libya on British Prime Minister David Cameron, who he said "became distracted by other things" and didn’t do enough to bring order to the fractious country.

He's certainly receiving criticism here in the UK whilst he'd being wined and dined by Her Majesty. Last night he made a speech in which he said that Britain should remain in the EU and that if it left the EU it would be at the "back of the queue" when it comes to lining up a trade deal with the US. Political pundits on TV have said that "queue" is a British word and that the Americans don't use it - they'd say "back of the line" - and it seems as though Downing Street, maybe even Cameron himself, has been telling Obama what to say. So the Remainers have made a mistake getting him to use the word "queue". And there were a lot of angry people phoning in on Stephen Nolan on BBC Radio Five Live last night condemning Obama coming over here and telling us what to do and saying that America has started lots of wars, some illegal, in recent years and has dragged Britain into them and that they will not be doing what the US President tells them to do by voting Remain. I think this stunt by the Remain camp to drag Obama into the campaign to try and persuade the British people to vote to remain in the EU is going to backfire on them spectacularly. I can't wait to look at the polls over the next few days.
