European Trip Over - How Did President Obama Do?

I think that from the time that President Obama stepped off Air Force One for the G-20 Summit Meeting, President Obama was deemed to fail in his attempts to bring Europe to an understanding with the United States on the world economy, Iraq, Iran and North Korea. He made some headway, but he did this in a manner where he had to apologize for the United States of America and what he considered poor past actions (vis a vie the Bush Administration Blame Game) of this great country of ours. It got to the point, that I would rather watch reruns of Hogan's Heroes (my favorite sitcom, by the way), then watch him continuously put our great country down and to "sell us out" to the Europeans.
What is even more appalling is that he considers the United States of America arrogant in its dealings with the world. There is nothing more arrogant than the man himself to say such a thing. He really does have a lot to learn. It was said during the campaign that if he should become president that he would have to do a lot of on-the job training. If this is not the case! He has a lot to learn.
When it came to North Korea, I can't believe that he turned the launching of the missile to the United Nations. When is the United States government going to learn that the United Nations is a world governing body of nincompoops. They have as much right to exist as samonella in peanut butter. Sorry to be so ugly as there may be some good people who really do give a darn at the United Nations, but they have to learn that there is more to violations of their own resolutions than just a slap on the wrist or to turn the other cheek. Oh, wait a minute. When Israel commits an act of so-called aggression on their enemies, this is a human rights issue and the United Nations Security Council can't wait to condemn that wonderful country and one of the U.S.A.'s greatest allies.
By the way, I have this message to President Obama. I have all the right to respect the office of President of the United States of America, but I do not have to like the man or woman who holds that office. The policies that have been instituted and those that are going to be instituted are failing miserably. Socialism is not the answer. Here is a case in point: The Israeli Kibbutzim were small socialist style communities that thrived in Israel for some time. Now, they are disappearing for a better life in the cities. Don't be in a rush to turn this great democratic country into a socialist democracy. If this is done, we will fail and cease to exist from within. We would not have to worry a bit about a North Korean missile. What we would have to worry about is our own destruction.
Here is one more point. America was founded on Christian principles. Man, are we forgetting this. America has the right of the freedom of religion and this nation is one of Christians, Jews and even Muslims. Just look around at all of those who are wearing the black robes and the black dresses and head dresses to signify faith. If we are not a people of religion, then what are we?
Mr. President, it is best if you rid your cabinet of people like Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Geitner. Let me not forget about Pelosi and Frank. They are all terribly embarrassing you and you have got to see this.
In regards to Europe, that is a great group of countries with great people. Yet, why are you apologizing for us? Where did you learn history? Oh, I forgot, Reverend Wright's Church. You get an A for at least making an attempt to carry on that so-called Minister's words.

He basked in the adoration and the glory of the people who chose to attend is rallys (err town hall meetings). He is campaigning, one just has to wonder for what. I, too, am not fond of his continuous apologies. This is not becoming of the leader of one of the superpowers. It also made his position extremely weak. And that led to him coming home with hardly anything accomplished except being in the news, having visited a couple of countries, getting to know some other leaders. But none of that really turned out to help us other than our position is now lonelier than ever.
