Good Grief! The Saudis Are Even Calling Obama a Wimp

The Saudi press is laying into a President of the United States right now and it's NOT for his relationship with Israel or for his pressures on world oil prices...oh no, times are different now...and the Saudi press is ridiculing the now POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, because he is too weak. Got that? A major islamic power in the world is pointing a finger at America and calling us pussies. Good grief.

Here's part of the latest Saudi press article from Memri on this gem of a weak-kneed President we have:

"The greatest fear is that the likes of the Times Square bomber are like a sleeping army spread out in various places, ready to awaken and become operative spontaneously or automatically.
"The fear is that the twin tracks strategy will be misunderstood to such an extent that the carrot will be consumed and the stick broken, based on an assessment that the U.S. in the age of 'Obamism' will never [be willing to] fight, exert pressure, take risks, or surprise [us]... [But] this assumption is misplaced, because 'Obamism' takes pride in its ability [to pursue] twin tracks of a different sort: patience and perseverance on one track, and surprising moves on the other."

"However, even if the wager [pays off], and the Barack Obama administration produces a pleasant surprise – namely the success of the twin tracks [strategy] – it would still be best for this administration to take initiative and closely examine the dangers of slackness and [excessive] self-confidence, [especially] at a time when trust in it is failing. It had better reveal some of the alternatives [it has prepared] in case its current policies fail to produce the hoped-for results. It had better stop pretending that its policies make it more moral [than everyone else]."

So there you have it, not only do we Americans have to put up with chump ass countries like Iran and Venezuela and Cuba and Nicaraugua and North Korea and Mexico slamming us right in front of our own President who says nothing ....actually, he usually agrees with them. But now, we see an Arab country, one full of yellow-bellied islamists pointing a finger at Uncle Sam and calling us feeble and lacking self confidence.

I've had it. Do we have to wait another 2 and a half years for the world to be reminded who the superpower in the world is or are we destined to accept this role of slovely roll over country as Obama is portraying us? Every single thing America has done in the past century to ensure our position in this world, to help keep the peace through strength and to shape the world's future is being destroyed by this President...and now, even a bunch of prayer rug hugging islamists see it as true.

In Saudi Press, Obama Administration Comes Under Criticism for Weakness

"[Obama's] Strategy... has Eroded the Trust in the United States, Deepened the Confusion Regarding [His] Administration's Intentions, and Increasing the Reluctance to Wager on this Superpower…"

In her article, Raghida Dergham wrote: "The twin tracks strategy adopted by the U.S. administration to deal with various issues, from Iran to Afghanistan and even the Taliban, may be clear in the mind of President Barack Obama and in the minds of the leaders of his administration, especially the academics among them. But this does not detract from a prominent fact, namely from what this strategy has done in terms of eroding the trust in the United States, deepening the confusion regarding this administration's intentions, and increasing the reluctance to wager on this superpower – a country that is turning to isolationism in the era of globalization, and whose hegemony as a superpower is receding while [countries] like China fill the vacuum on the international level and the likes of Iran and the Taliban rush to create facts on the ground in order to fill the vacuum on the regional level. It is a loss of status that arouses concern on a global level…

"The matter is not limited to heads of state like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who have tried, and will try again, to disregard the demands of the Obama administration, borrowing from his electoral campaign the useful phrase 'Yes We Can.' Indeed, among those who disdain the U.S. today are Pakistani youths like Faisal Shahzad, accused of [perpetrating] the attempted bombing in Times Square…"

"The greatest fear is that the likes of the Times Square bomber are like a sleeping army spread out in various places, ready to awaken and become operative spontaneously or automatically.

"The fear is that the twin tracks strategy will be misunderstood to such an extent that the carrot will be consumed and the stick broken, based on an assessment that the U.S. in the age of 'Obamism' will never [be willing to] fight, exert pressure, take risks, or surprise [us]... [But] this assumption is misplaced, because 'Obamism' takes pride in its ability [to pursue] twin tracks of a different sort: patience and perseverance on one track, and surprising moves on the other."

"This Administration [Should]... Closely Examine the Dangers of Slackness and Self-Confidence"

"However, even if the wager [pays off], and the Barack Obama administration produces a pleasant surprise – namely the success of the twin tracks [strategy] – it would still be best for this administration to take initiative and closely examine the dangers of slackness and [excessive] self-confidence, [especially] at a time when trust in it is failing. It had better reveal some of the alternatives [it has prepared] in case its current policies fail to produce the hoped-for results. It had better stop pretending that its policies make it more moral [than everyone else]."

The Obama Administration "has Discarded the Reformists in Iran, as Well as Its Obligations towards Darfur in Sudan, and It Is in the Process of Striking Deals with the Regime in Tehran..."

"[The truth is that] the political realism in the age of 'Obamism' places [this administration] on the same level as previous administrations, which practiced such realism to the same extent – [namely to the point] of discarding former allies and [potential] future partners. In fact, it has discarded the reformists in Iran, as well as its obligations towards Darfur in Sudan, and it is [now] in the process of striking deals with the regime in Tehran, which seeks to export the Islamic Revolution. [Furthermore, the Obama administration is trying] to push the relevant forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan to strike deals with the Taliban. It has only one condition [in making these deals]: not that [the Taliban] stop oppressing women, but rather that it sever its ties with Al-Qaeda – as if there are clear criteria [for assessing what it means] to sever these ties.

"First of all, it is Iran that is extending its tentacles [to exploit] the weakness of the Obama administration – especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, where this administration wants to [pursue] the twin tracks of 'staying and leaving.' This strategy has made it feel that it desperately needs [the help of] Tehran, which will enable it to 'leave and stay' in Iraq, and perhaps also in Afghanistan.

"[However, this assessment is] wrong, because it ignores the fact that Iran is the one who needs to be party to America's strategy of 'leaving and staying' in Iraq. Indeed, the Islamic Republic of Iran... is feeling nervous, because it understands, much better than the U.S... the patience of its reformists and the meaning of the popular uprising in Iran. It is so nervous that it fears any U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, which would leave its important neighbor in a state of chaos and [potential] instability.

"There are secret talks taking place behind the scenes between the Americans and the Iranians over the issue of Iraq, and perhaps over other regional issues, such as the 'violent Islamist extremism' in different parts [of the world], especially in Afghanistan. In parallel [to these secret talks], there are [open] talks between the 5+1 and the leaders of the Iranian government on the nuclear issue, as well as [informal] talks, most recently a dinner [arranged by Iranian] Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki at the residence of the Iranian ambassador in New York...
