Obama is not President of the World

The lowering of expectations is going global.

"But answering them is quite another thing. So let's get this straight. Barack Obama has not been elected President of the World; the world is not his constituency; and his responsibilities to the world are secondary. He is President-elect of an important but declining power, and his responsibilities, especially in hard times, are to its citizens. He will anyway be immensely constrained through the mechanisms of the American Constitution, by domestic opinion; his popularity may be at the mercy of the economy; and the American people, though plainly beguiled by his freshness and charm and their own despair at the alternative, have not this week been transfigured into liberal internationalists. In the day they were electing Mr Obama, many states were rejecting gay marriage by clear margins.

And this whole thing could go very sour."


Oh, don't worry, it will, it will.

And as a result of the failed gay initiatives, gays are now openly using the N word against blacks who voted overwhelmingly against them.

He fails to mention that 3 out of 4 green initiatives failed as well.

And what does "The One" do at his very first press event since being elected? Insults Nancy Reagan, beloved by most Americans, and has to apologize.
