This will be short.
All ideology aside, I am embarrassed to be an American right now. Obama ran his campaign partially under the new paradigm of "mending international fences."
Well, this past week has left us with egg on our faces. First, Obama blatantly snubbed Prime Minister Gordon Brown from the United Kingdom. Not to mention that Obama had already returned a 9/11 gift from the UK.
On Friday, March 6, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a "reset button" gift that was incorrectly inscribed with a word that had a completely different meaning than what was supposedly "intended."
Clinton: "In a way, the word that's on the button turns out to be also true," Clinton said. "We are resetting, and because we are resetting, the minister and I have an overload of work."
It doesn't matter to me which U.S. administration would carelessly make Americans look this stupid, I would be just as humiliated. We look extremely idiotic in the eyes of the international community because of these negligent actions.
If it makes you feel any better, nothing could make the U.S. look more idiotic than electing Maobama.
