Is Obama a boorish lout?

Does he not have a Protocol office or does he simply not give a darn? Today's grab the check and bolt fiasco:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/09/obama-...

sure makes one think. He went to elite schools like Punahou and Harvard - didn't they

teach him how to behave properly? This is not an isolated incident. Gordon Brown gave him a beautiful pen holder carved from the timbers of a Anti-Slavery warship or 200 years old. He gave Brown a pack of DVDs (probably from the bargin bin at the D.C. Best Buy). He gave the Queen of England an iPOD! He blew off the Heroes Ball (First President ever to do so). He's snubbed Sarkozy of France:

and has stuck it to Merkel and Germany:

A search of the terms "obama snubs" yields some interesting reading indeed.

In the circle of world leaders is he now viewed as Cousin Eddie from the Vacation movies?

    He's a real rube.

    My favorite part is that he is going to accept his Nobel peace prize a week after committing 30,000 troops to a war, then he is flying back to the USA... and then he is flying back to the climate summit in Copenhagen.

    Each time he travels he needs 4 large aircraft and military air support.... burning several tons of fuel in the process. (REAL GREEN!)

    We did invent something about a hundred years ago... it's called a "telephone".

    I love this paragraph:

    "The White House has cancelled many of the events peace prize laureates traditionally submit to, including a dinner with the Norwegian Nobel committee, a press conference, a television interview, appearances at a children's event promoting peace and a music concert, as well as a visit to an exhibition in his honour at the Nobel peace centre."

    "Submit to?" What is this, a fraternity hazing? LOL!

    But yes, Obama is behaving like the typical leader of an African nation.

    He is intentionally destroying the USA and transforming us into a two class third world African nation:

    Is George W. Bush a genius?

    No.

    This complaint from Republicans who were complaining last week when he used proper etiquette in Japan.

  • 1 decade ago

    No, don't take things so personally.

    Besides every time he leaves his office you criticize him.

    He can't win.

    He hates America.

    He's all that and a communist
