Obama's foreign policy decisions during his first 50 days have been questionable. He has successfully given the cold shoulder to our friends and loyal allies, Britain and Israel. Britain has been are greatest ally for 50 years. Think of all the historical alliances: Roosevelt/Churchill, Reagan/Thatcher, Bush/Blair. Bush was given a bust of Churchill by Blair following 9/11. Obama replaced it with his own political hero, Lincoln, and returned the bust to Britain. British Prime Minister Gordan Brown was effectively snubbed by Obama during his recent visit. No room in the White House. No visit to Camp David. No state lunch. Brown brought Obama three exquisite gifts. Obama gave him 25 American movies on DVD. Would Obama's chip on the cold shoulder have anything to do with his grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, who was labeled a subversive and spent months in detention during the Mau Mau rebellion against British colonial rule in Kenya in 1952??
Israel also felt the coldness of Obama's shoulder when he wrote his 'secret' letter to Russia asking for help in brokering a deal with Iran to limit their nuclear development. Obama gave his cold shoulder to Poland and other eastern Europeans who live in fear of the fall of Russia's hammer and the insanity of Iran's leader. He agreed to remove our missile defense systems from their lands. Israel interprets that as a concession to Hamas, Iran and Russia. Also, by executive order, Obama has released more of our money to assist the 'victims' of Gaza after the recent Israeli invasion.
Obama's policy seems to be "lets turn everything on it head. Whatever we have been doing, lets undo it. Let's give warm handshakes to Iran, Cuba, Russia, Hamas, and the PLO. Let's give cold shoulders to Britain and Israel." I was convinced that Obama's economic policies would lead to failure after his first 30 days. I'm now convinced after his first 50 days that his foreign policy is also a disaster in the making.
