Obama Gets Humiliated in the Pacific
AP
Post-US world born in Phnom Penh
By Spengler | atimes.com
It is symptomatic of the national condition of the United States that the worst humiliation ever suffered by it as a nation, and by a US president personally, passed almost without comment last week. I refer to the November 20 announcement at a summit meeting in Phnom Penh that 15 Asian nations, comprising half the world’s population, would form a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership excluding the United States.
President Barack Obama attended the summit to sell a US-based Trans-Pacific Partnership excluding China. He didn’t. The American led-partnership became a party to which no-one came.
Instead, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, plus China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, will form a club and leave out the United States. As 3 billion Asians become prosperous, interest fades in the prospective contribution of 300 million Americans – especially when those Americans decline to take risks on new technologies. America’s great economic strength, namely its capacity to innovate, exists mainly in memory four years after the 2008 economic crisis…

Going from a nation that all others wanted to emulate and partner with, to a country that is completely ignored.
What a legacy!!!!

But can’t they see? We’re Moving Foward! To the Communist Past of the 20th Century!
Seeing how it worked out so well for the nations on the Asian continent, we’re going to repeat their experiment.
Meanwhile, the ASEAN nations and their partners are sprinting past us with free markets principles we kept alive during the Cold War.
Which choice do you think has the proven record of prosperity and reducing poverty?
Teh Omen is all for equality and he’s going to achieve it on a global scale. Unfortunately for us the equality will last but a moment as our economy plunges and their’s thrives over the next 4 years.

Asian leaders didn’t want another group photo with Barky’s waving hand obscuring their faces.
They shoulda sent Mooch, Asians dig water buffalo.

The United States has become a great big fucking laughing stock round the world since this narcissistic, inept, incompetent POS became the apologizer-in-chief.

Bowing out, so to speak. And not even leading from behind anymore…just left behind completely.

Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark on the Won’s thin skin.
@Jack, not just ignored…more like ostracized and scorned, by his perceived global ‘friends’ and socialist colleagues.

But, but but…Barry Soetoro claimed he was a citizen of the world. And that he was the first Pacific American POTUS, not to mention that he lived in Indonesia for a few years as a child.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T…..NOT!!!

AND what does it say about the worldy status of the establishment of the Republican Party who couldn’t even beat this walking loser? Weakness galore oozing from our nation’s capital and the world sees, feels, and smells it.

All part of his plan to destroy the USA. He’s going to take us down a peg, destroy the white wealth, destroy Christian base, and than try to become Pres of the UN which he views as becoming a world ruling body under his tutelage.

The only way America becomes weaker is if other nations become stronger. Along the same lines, why do you think Moose is so quick to point to the obesity of OTHER people?

Almost without exception, anything the Obamanation touches or promotes blows up in his face.
Slightly o/t, his “stern” warning to Assad not to use chemical weapons had me laughing out loud. I can only imagine the reaction of Assad and other world leaders. (ooooohh, ooooooohh, I’m quaking in my boots Bari).
The only people who have any shred of respect for this man are koolade drinkers and the image in his bedroom mirror.

@ marleenna1959 – Lost to Rio de Janeiro, a city with an even larger crime rate than Chi-Town. That would be doubly embarassing to Obumfuk if it were possible to embarass a DemocRAT bottom-feeder.

Way to go, a$$hole! You are well on your way to your goal of dismantling what you see as an evil, raaaaaaacist country!

This isn’t going to be a humiliation for Obama. We all know how the press and culture work now. If this is ever publicly acknowledged as some kind of failure, it will be blamed on the fact that the Asians “didn’t want anything to do with the white, republican racists in the US goverment” and that the only way to “solve” the problem is to give even more power to Obama.

Those moping and moaning pictures of De Won don’t cause me to shed a tear for him. I wish you’d run one with him smiling with these stories. Let’s see those pearly whites when he fails.
