The United States are in need of a foreign relations reset

Barry is detested and disrespected all around the world. 

He is dragging down the reputation of the United States along with him.

January can't come soon enough.  Then we can start making America great again.

Obama cancels meeting with ‘colorful’ Philippine president


Source: The Washington Post

HANGZHOU, China — After being called an obscenity by the president of the Philippines, President Obama canceled a meeting with the leader, Rodrigo Duterte, scheduled for Tuesday.

Duterte had threatened to curse out the U.S. commander in chief if Obama raised the issue of extrajudicial killings by Philippine authorities in a sweeping crackdown on drug trafficking. Speaking to reporters, Duterte, who took office in June, said the Philippines is a "sovereign state and we have long ceased to be a colony," according to the Associated Press.

He added that: "I do not have any master except the Filipino people, nobody but nobody. You must be respectful. Do not just throw questions. 'Putang ina' I will swear at you in that forum." That is the Tagalog phrase for "son of a bitch" or "son of a whore.”

Asked to respond during a news conference after the Group of 20 Summit in China, Obama said earlier Monday that he had been told of Duterte's comments, but the U.S. president shrugged it off as another in a line of "colorful statements" from Duterte.

Barry got insulted so he cancelled a meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duetrte.  Diplomacy Obama style.  The world doesn't revolve around you, Barry.

2. Apparently, diplomacy is not Duterte's strong suit.

Or tact, for that matter. So he would be VERY interesting to watch in a meeting with Trump.

Diplomacy is not Obama's strong suit either.  Here's what he's supposed to be doing:

Barry chooses to go on a personal grudge match instead of representing the United States.

Duterte will regret those words when the Chinese come a knocking at Second Thomas Reef and Scarborough Shoal...

It's going to take a generation to repair the damage Barry has done.

Not much aware of geography, that one! That would let China all but strangle Japan and Korea. And leave Taiwan 1/2 surrounded. OTOH, I guess DU-folk would have no problem with 10s of millions more people enslaved by what one ConservaTalk host used to call Communism with a Happy Face.

Gosh I am old enough to remember how cool it was when some araaaab threw a shoe at GWB.

Obama is a child that every second rate, and some third rate, countries know they can piss on.

The President of the Philippines sounds like he's somewhere between a lunatic and a loose cannon, but I linked his line about reminding BHO that the Philippines are not a colony anymore. Progs talk about how horrible colonialism was, but act like jack-booted, pith-helmeted colonialists when it comes to imposing Enviro and Animal Rights folks' agenda on those third-world countries.
