Experts on foreign affairs.

Okay, now that the furor has died down about the latest leg of the presidential world apology tour (tm).

Sure, he bowed to foreign dignitaries and leaders again. Sure, he shouldn't do that. He's supposedly the leader of nominally the most powerful nation in the world. No presidents have bowed or scraped to other leaders before, or at least not in the last 100 years or so. I'll give you all that.

Here's what bothers me so much.

The first time he did this, to the Leader of Saudi Arabia I believe, the amount of stink that raised went on for weeks. You would have figured that the handlers he surrounded himself with would have learned from that mistake. And don't think for a minute that it wasn't a mistake. He may have done it on purpose, but it was a mistake and on an international scale to boot.

Then, he does it again. The same mistake over again.

Let's ignore for a second that he was touted as some sort of expert on foreign relations. Disregard the fact that the second round of bows weren't the proper short from the waist ones that national leaders might be expect to do. They were the exact same sort of bows that were such the mistakes the last time.

Folks, what bothers me is the fact that this administration ISN'T learning from it's mistakes. That's the sobering thought for tonight. What other sorts of mistakes are we gonna see this lot make AND REPEAT?

It's not only BO, it's all the democrats. NONE of them learn from their failures. When one of their pet schemes fails monstrously, they think it was because they didn't spend enough!

It's insane.

The security of this nation is too perilous to allow the democrat party to continue to exist. Not just in power, but in any form.

It will continue until they are voted out of office. They will NOT learn, thinking they know better than we (the peons) do...

Ya bowing. that's much worse than sitting in a Florida classroom for seven minutes, pissing your pants in abject fear wondering when your mommy is going to come and make it all better, while your country is under attack. Much worse than outing a C.I.A. agent for political benefit. Infinately more tragic than invading Iraq on false pretenses, or fiddling while New Orleans drowned, the security of this nation is too perilous to allow the republican party to continue to exist.By pointing out things that actually happened, as opposed to things that only happened inside your head I believe my assertion carries more weight, don't you?

Yes, you're a virgin no longer. This particular one has been visiting a number of conservative/gunny blogs in the last few days.

Maybe it's time to turn moderation back on.

Ya,here in Maine we call "moderation" putting your hands over your ears and singing "Lalala I can't hear you" Works reel gud when you are three y/o, not so much when you grow up. Oh, ya I don't think the word troll means what you think it means.It does not mean "respondant who makes my assertions sound like the dribblings of a madman"
