Obama Faces New Dynamic With Europe At G7 Summit:

WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) – When President Barack Obama attends the Group of Seven summit in Germany on Sunday, he will join fellow leaders who are growing accustomed to a new dynamic in the transatlantic relationship: less direction from Washington, more demands on Europe.

In responding to Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, the crisis in Libya and efforts to advance Middle East peace, European leaders have stepped up their role after a real or perceived sense that the United States was drawing back.

It is like a bad bet; once you lose it you never get it back.

These are the new dynamics on the world stage these days. The USA has been so lax and complacent in so many areas because of it’s leadership; that like a slow growing cancer eating us up, we have lost some of our power, influence and clout we once had as a superpower.

A real fact of life is; strength and forcefulness is what is respected; lack of being proactive, displaying strength and indecisiveness  is considered a weakness.

Weakness and fragility has a particular odor to it that can be sensed and smelled by the enemy as well as comrades in arms.

The USA (because of its leaders) has fallen into a state of criticism and disrespect from most of the other super powers in the world.  We are no longer the BIG GUY at the conference table that everyone looks up to and respects. We are just another one of the run of the mill politicians looking at what is for dinner after the meeting.

Like it or not The Judo guy is a person that most world powers respect. Don’t make the mistake of comparing respect for liking a person. A person can be disliked intensely but still respected. I will take door # 2.

Does the rest of the world like Putin and approve of what he is doing? Absolutely not; but they respect him for his forcefulness and no non-sense manner of taking care of business. The most significant issue is; he doesn’t care who like or dislikes him; he has Steven Seagal on his team.  He has Mr. O on the ropes and is putting on the heat.

Putin is a warrior that has served his time on the front lines and understand the complexities of war; just the direct opposite of Mr. O who has now military experiences.

I would never hire a carpenter to be a chef in my restaurant or an electrician to make a wedding cake.

If Obama was smart enough to listen to the people that have BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT, the country would be a lot better off.

When The Peanut Guy took over the presidency, he fired everyone that had all of the experience in the pre existing cabinet and put all of his peanut pickers to replace them. Anyone that has their head on straight should know that there is absolutely no way to BUY experience.

It takes a very intelligent person to admit they do not know something and take advice from those that do. An inflated ego has been the downfall of my prominent people. .

The rest of the world’s leaders have witnessed these deficiencies in Obama and do not look to the USA as being the George Blanda that is going to save the team in the last 2 minutes of the game.

What will it take to recover the USA’s standings in this world? One thing I know for sure; it will not be Wild Bill’s wife that can pull it back together.

In 2016 the voters have to pull back on all of their PC nonsense; open up their eyes and ears; evaluate a person for their achievements, scrutinize their past, vote with their heads and not their bleeding hearts (that is what got us to where we are now) so we can recover the respect of the rest of the world we once had.

Sad to say;

I am taking a good look at Rick Perry right now. His accomplishments in the Lone Star State have been pretty impressive and he has a good set of goolunies!!
