How's that working out for ya?

“I truly believe that the day I’m inaugurated not only does the country look at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently. If I’m reaching out to the Muslim world, they understand that I’ve lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian but I also can understand their point of view.…The world will have confidence that I am listening to them, and that our future and our security is tied up with our ability to work with other countries in the world. That will ultimately make us safer.” (Sen. Barack Obama, New Hampshire Public Radio , 11/21/07)

The bolded part turned out to mean something other than what I thought it was going to mean.



“And we will restore our moral standing in the world. We will once again lead the world not just militarily, but diplomatically, economically.” (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Charleston, SC, 1/10/08)



“I would like to think that with my election and the — the early decisions that we’ve made, that you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world. And although as you know, I always mistrust polls, international polls seem to indicate that you’re seeing people more hopeful about America’s leadership.” (President Barack Obama, Press Conference At G-20 Summit, London, UK, 4/2/09)

“On the international stage we’ve been able to manage the end of one war and the beginning of a transition of another. We have been on the right side of democracy. We’ve strengthened our alliances, restored respect for the United States around the world.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, New York, NY, 1/19/12)

Imagine the shitstorm if the Germans had tapped the whitehouse.

I would be 100% absolutely shocked if the Germans did not have a mission to spy on the rest of the nations at the summit that we spied on.
