Poor baby: “Past 10 days have been worst of President Obama’s ‘political life.“If he thinks the last 10 days have been rough, just wait until he no longer has a super majority with which to try to cram his socialist agenda down our throats.
Obama’s inauspicious 10-day, four-nation trip included a failure to land an anticipated slam dunk free trade agreement with South Korea.
It also included a botched effort to rally Western allies to press China to budge on a monetary policy that threatens to keep the U.S. economy in the tank.
Yet Obama appeared to shrug off the lack of results during summit meetings with the world’s most powerful leaders.
“Naturally, there’s an instinct to focus on the disagreements, because otherwise, these summits might not be very exciting; it’s just a bunch of world leaders sitting around intervening,” Obama told reporters in South Korea.
“What’s remarkable is that in each of these successive summits we’ve actually made real progress,” he added, without anything of substance to point to.
Compounding his problems, Obama had to dial back on comments made back home by top adviser David Axelrod, who suggested Obama will cave on ending tax cuts for the rich.
