Obama World Prostration Tour 2009

This morning I made reference to the Bush Administration's diplomatic overtures to Iran to aid us in stablizing Iraq {snicker} being so idiotic as to be worthy of the foreign policy of a Democrat administration.

Leave it to the Democrats themselves to remind me of the old adage about things never being so bad that they can't get worse:

Responding to one of the YouTube questions [at the Donk primary "debate" last night], Barack Obama announced he would meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea without precondition in his first year of his presidency, sending oppressed people in those countries and around the world a clear message: The U.S, under a President Obama will not be worrying about them.

Breathtaking, isn't it? The spectre of a President Obama going all over the world bowing down to thugs, dictators, and madmen, all of whom wish to see the United States utterly and completely destroyed - not because George W. Bush is awful, evil, wicked, corrupt, incompetent, illiterate, snake-handling, warmongering, neoNazi scum, but because they can only proceed toward their dreams of global domination when we're out of the way - and would probably grab him and hold him hostage if given half the chance (and he'd be giving them at least that much) believing that his administration would pay any ransom to get him back.

Hell, our enemies wouldn't even have to attack us, because Obama would offer up our unconditional, pre-emptive surrender.

I thought another of Double-H's observations was a bit more interesting:

Senator Clinton had the common sense to say no, she wouldn't make such a commitment. She's got a lot of problems as a candidate, but always pandering to the "give peace a chance" crowd isn't one of them.

That's because she doesn't have to. She's the front-runner, she's going to be the Democrat nominee, and she's going to be the next president of the United States. It's already all in her bag, she knows it, and the nutroots know it as well. Just as they also know that she's lying through her ample jowls and will make the exact same global groveling tour Obama promised.

Or, since Obama will probably be her veep, she'll send Obama on that junket. That's about as close to keeping a campaign promise as a Clinton will ever get.

UPDATE: Obama would be trodding well-plowed ground.
