This Is What It Means When No One Trusts You Anymore...

President Obama has achieved quite a bit within his first year.

Read this to really understand.

The Obama team tried to schedule a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and was told he was at the airport readying to leave. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also was unavailable. South African President Jacob Zuma said there was no point meeting without India and Brazil. Then the Chinese pushed the bilateral meeting back to 7 p.m.

"We were told they were at the airport," a senior administration official said. "We were told delegations were split up. We were told they weren't going to meet." So imagine Mr. Obama's surprise when he arrived for the bilateral powwow and found all four leaders in the room already in deep discussion. "Are you ready for me?" he said with an "uncharacteristic edge" to his voice, according to a CBS News report.

Understand now that the US is going to be increasingly ignored when it comes to substantive discussions because it is increasingly obvious that President Obama can't be taken seriously.

The countries reached agreement on three pages of noncommittal boilerplate - and Mr. Obama rushed out to declare that he had once again saved the day. "For the first time in history," he said, "all major economies have come together to accept their responsibility to take action to confront the threat of climate change." He then left the global warming conference, hurrying to beat the record-setting blizzard descending on Washington.

And we can see hence why President Obama isn't being taken seriously.

What a mess this presidency will be. President Carter was bad enough. President Obama will make it extraordinarily difficult for any Democrat to argue that they are fit to govern: they are proving, with each and every passing day, the exact opposite.
