| What's Obama's beef with India? |
| 2010-02-17 |
| H/T Instapundit It's easy to figure out why President Obama has little use for Israel and England. Israel is the bete noir of most contemporary left-liberals and England was the colonial overlord of Kenya. But what has Obama got against India? I'll speculate about this question in a moment, but first let's look at the relationship itself. |

| #11 Not many countries are actively fighting against Muslim extremism. The ones that are (US, Israel and India) will always be on Bammo's shit list. |

| #9 Perhaps if Obama was raised Hindu, had Indian college roommates, if New Delhi paid for his Harvard education and raised a statue in his honor. So many opportunities wasted. |

| #8 It's really very simple. India invited ex-president G.W. Bush before they invited Obama. Obama threw a hissy fit and cancelled a prearranged visit to India in response. He also made sure he visited Pakistan before he visited India. WH staffers leaked a statement to WaPo that they felt George Bush deserved to be tried for war crimes rather than invited to a state dinner. Bottom line: Obama is acting like a 12 year old, except his antics have worldwide consequences. /apologies to any 12 year olds |

| #7 O was a little boy abandoned by his mother & father & raised by communist grandparents. He is the President of a people he dislikes & does not understand. He is not smarter than your most irritating co-worker & cannot convince Americans he created jobs - more Americans believe Elvis is alive than O created jobs. |

| #5 Could someone please explain why this absurd little man is viewed as highly intelligent? Lex, I've been asking that question for 2 years and have never gotten an answer. Occasionally someone will venture a guess as to why someone else thinks so, but never has anyone stepped up and said "He's smart because........." The closest anyone ever came was pointing to how "he" ran his campaign. To me, the man is an evil, charismatic, moron. |

| #4 "No nation can or should dominate another." "A united world defeated communism." Could someone please explain why this absurd little man is viewed as highly intelligent? His views on interstate relations could have been lifted from letters to the editor written by an adjunct community college prof, or maybe Matt Damon. |

| #2 Obumble will piss away our relationshup wiht the largest democracy in the world, and one that is at the moment VERY friendly to us. Bush cultivated the relationship and its opne we should grow. Obumble is a friggen moron, and the arabist kiss-asses at state will continue to screw India over in favor of Pakistan as a favor for their Saudi masters. And the moron Obama will just follow along mindlessly. The man is the biggest dupe we've had in office since Jimmy Carter. |

| #1 Obama sees himself a charismatic visionary who is above traditional balance of power politics, that "relic of the past." Stated differently, Obama has shown little stomach for alliances that might vex our adversaries and potential adversaries. TRANSLATION: From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." |
