President Pantywaist
posted at 12:55 pm on April 10, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Charles Krauthammer and Gerald Warner take up where Jackson Diehl left off in analyzing Barack Obama’s Grand Tour this month. Both men sound warning alarms over Obama’s tendency to surrender large swaths of the American agenda in return for getting nothing at all. And while Krauthammer wonders whether Obama has a sense of his own American identity, Warner wonders whether Obama has any sense at all.
First, Krauthammer:
Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.
And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country? He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans. He was rudely rebuffed.
He wanted more stimulus spending from Europe. He got nothing.
From Russia, he got no help on Iran. From China, he got the blocking of any action on North Korea.
And what did he get for Guantanamo? France, pop. 64 million, will take one prisoner. One! (Sadly, he’ll have to leave his swim buddy behind.) The Austrians said they would take none. As Interior Minister Maria Fekter explained with impeccable Germanic logic, if they’re not dangerous, why not just keep them in America?
When Austria is mocking you, you’re having a bad week. Yet who can blame Frau Fekter, considering the disdain Obama showed his own country while on foreign soil, acting the philosopher-king who hovers above the fray mediating between his renegade homeland and an otherwise warm and welcoming world?
I thought that would win the Scorn Award for the week, but that’s just a warm-up for Warner. The British columnist for the Telegraph has a new name for Obama — well, two, actually:
So The One retired triumphant, having secured a massive contribution of 5,000 extra troops – all of them non-combatant, of course – which must really have put the wind up the Taliban, at the prospect of 5,000 more infidel cooks and bottle-washers swarming into the less hazardous regions of Afghanistan.
Then came the dramatic bit, the authentic West Wing script, with the President wakened in the middle of the night in Prague to be told that Kim Jong-il had just launched a Taepodong-2 missile. America had Aegis destroyers tracking the missile and could have shot it down. But Uncle Sam had a sterner reprisal in store for l’il ole Kim (as Dame Edna might call him): a multi-megaton strike of Obama hot air. …
President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim down to size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America’s missile defence programme, presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit a sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun.
Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block and, over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests of the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who wants to buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until President Pantywaist gets into his stride.
The White House says it will take more than a few days for Obama’s impact to be felt, but I think they’re underestimating their President. Obama’s impact was plain to see. He drew great crowds for his American Humility Tour, and it played well — as bowing and scraping always does to those whom one bows and scrapes. Europe might like the whiff of surrender coming from Obama, but they made it plain that it would result in no movement on the American agenda. Actually, that’s not entirely true; as Diehl points out, Obama mostly neglected to even mention the American agenda.
John Kennedy had the insight to realize that he blew his performance with Nikita Khrushchev in 1961. Newt Gingrich allowed for the possibility that Obama might come to the same realization after this disaster of a foreign tour. Will President Pantywaist recover, a la Kennedy, or wallow in the self-delusional spin his White House provided this week, a la Jimmy Carter? Let’s hope it’s the former, because the world is far too dangerous a place for America to have a President Pantywaist.

Carter was the Erdnusspraesident…Obama…Schlappschwanzpraesident…yep.
coldwarrior on April 10, 2009 at 1:43 PM
No, Obama’s problem is that he thinks he has nothing to learn. Arrogance mixed with incompetence.
ddrintn on April 10, 2009 at 1:43 PM
I actually wrote a blog on missile defense in Alaska and why we need it. click my name if you want to check it out. Alaska has had them before…. and it was stopped via Jimmeh, Bush brought it back and no B.O. wants to take it away… Freaking CRAZY!
upinak on April 10, 2009 at 1:45 PM
This is only the beginning. More columnists will be bashing him. Its only a matter of time until MSNBO starts too.
Liberals should be embarrassed. I for one plan to send that Telegraph article to my liberal brothers. haha

He had to reduce the budget for missile defense…teleprompters are expensive..even when you buy them by the gross

Nah, Kool-Aid stays in the system for a while. There are some who even now insist that Carter was a great president.

You have the wrong picture on this article Ed. It should be the one of Obama riding his bike with the helmet on.

Just wait until we see angry Obama dealing with growing domestic resistance to his destructive incompetence. That’s when he gets to show us and the world he’s a tough guy and real man.
econavenger on April 10, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Come on, do we really want him spending more time doing work? I don’t think the Republic could afford him spending more time in the White House and less time on tours like this.
If we really want to save the Republic, we ought to be thinking about more trips for POTUS and TOTUS. Maybe some place with a nice beach, rolling waves, away from everywhere. No cell phone or Blackberry service. Let him go to the beach and play, maybe taking Pelosi & Ried with him. Then maybe the adults could clean up the mess of the last 80 days.
AZfederalist on April 10, 2009 at 1:53 PM
Come on, you can’t just say that and not post this to show what you mean…LOL!

Read some Scandinavian newspapers online this past week, they were all echoing what the Daily Telegraph wrote:
Obama’s Europe tour was a pathetic performance, and it left many observers deeply disappointed in the president.
Not even 100 days in, and the TOTUS is becoming an international joke.
Norwegian on April 10, 2009 at 1:58 PM
I have thought this all along. Because of his upbringing, I don’t think he has any sense of being a citizen of the United States. He is completely ambivilent towards the United States and being an Americant and, truth be told, he considers himself a citizen of the world – which of course he has said in many ways in many places.
Traffic Cop Timmy on April 10, 2009 at 1:59 PM
CA Gov. Blackvexer promised Egyptian Sale campaign lies to fool the conservative vote. Next, the Shriver/Kennedy national connection produced Staatspräsident Schlappschwanz on lies meant to fool everyone, hence “the unifier”.
maverick muse on April 10, 2009 at 2:00 PM
The trouble with this, as always, is the American press corps, who have treated and written up Obama’s EuroTrip as if it was the greatest foreign policy triumph since the Treaty of Ghent.
Theres no hint in any coverage that I have seen in the MSM (TV/radio/newspapers/lefty blogs) that Obama’s performance was any other than 100% Boffo. Just the opposite in fact, the media are crapping their pants with glee and excitement. So, dont look for any navel gazing by the OMSM.
Mike D. on April 10, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Heh, yep. I guess when he said “all Americans” will have to work and sacrifice to get out of the financial mess were in it only applied to REAL Americans, just further proof he doesn’t consider himself a REAL American and hates America!
Not that we needed any further proof that he’s not a REAL American or that he hates America, after all his recent bash America tour and the fact he’s friends with the likes of Rev Wright and Ayers is proof enough! Yet 53% of Americans (you know…the morons) voted for this empty suited American hating fraud…!
We are in very deep shiite for sure!
Liberty or Death on April 10, 2009 at 2:02 PM
What bothers me about labeling our president a pantywaist and a surrender monkey (excuse me I have to leave my office to laugh) is that this can only embolden our enemies and the terrorist groups we’re trying so hard to eliminate. What enrages me is our president should have taken this opportunity to build up our country and make us look like a pillar of strength and stability. Instead, he’s made himself a laughing stock by spreading his unicorns and lollipops and pixie dust policies. Great.
scalleywag on April 10, 2009 at 2:02 PM
The Apology Tour was not about getting America to be liked. It was only about him being liked. He doesn’t care if America is more or less reviled as a result of his Ankle Tour (as opposed to Hillary’s Cankle Tour).
I think he’s shocked that he’s being made fun of. If the Brits have their blades out, the French and Germans will soon follow. If the Brits are already using the M-word, one can only imagine what the Continentals are going to say.
Can’t wait!

Killing the pirates holding the Captain hostage would be a good start. Yo ho!
Mojave Mark on April 10, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Actually, it was Jackie who initiated the whole “Camelot” crap. In an article in Life (IIRC) magazine, after JFK’s death, she favorably compared his administration to the myth. Jackie was determined to burnish JFK’s memory, as she feared that he would be forgotten by history due to the short duration (and relatively few accomplishments) of his administration. But I doubt that even Jackie could have foreseen how the MSM would so willingly adopt her fanciful narrative and continue to perpetrate and embellish it for so many years.
AZCoyote on April 10, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Yea, or slapping the snot out of that feckless little tyrant in North Korea who went on tv gloating about his launch days later. arrrrrrr
scalleywag on April 10, 2009 at 2:14 PM
You mean he had to pay for the 3.4 billion to Acorn and 900 million to rebuild Gaza so they can launch many more hundreds of rockets into Israel…The money had to come from somewhere as the American people will support his agenda as long as they feel the money is not being wasted. Missle defense had to go…

Well, give the WH statement of the bow not being a bow, I’m going with the Jimmy Carter scenario.
Obama hasn’t even been in 100 days and he already has his Jimmy Carter, international crisis with the US hostage and the Somali pirates! Utter failure.

hawksruleva on April 10, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Is that all you have, “You LOST”??? Obama was elected as the President of the UNITED States, not President of the LIBERALS. Remember that infamous speech that launched him onto the national stage? We are talking about national security and protecting our country. When those nuclear weapons hit our country, I wonder if your naivety will sing a different tune.
But hey, let’s start with your guy acting like he gives a rip about protecting the citizens of our country, e.g., securing the safety of the Captain who is a hostage of the Somali pirates, rather than sitting nonchalantly at the playground having a meeting.
conservative pilgrim on April 10, 2009 at 2:39 PM
I bet you anything Barry had to go skipping into Old Joe’s office to ask if being called “President Pantywaist” is a good or a bad thing.
anniekc on April 10, 2009 at 2:42 PM
Deathtomediahacks…..people have dealt with it.
What’s fascinating is that many people seem to think that means that they should never express a thought contrary to his agenda or image.
THAT is totally new.
And, fortunately, completely stupid.
AnninCA on April 10, 2009 at 2:43 PM
80 days?
It feels like forever.
Only 1380 days until Jan 21 2013…. that’s IF President Pantywaist is replaced.
Chaz706 on April 10, 2009 at 2:48 PM
Wouldn’t you just love to replace him with George Foreman?

Bad week for the Narcissist and the Pathological Liar. The CBS/NYTimes/CNN polls next weeks will be over the top per White House instructions.

No one ever claimed “surrender monkey” was a racist term when it first originated, which was on “The Simpsons”. It was used by Groundskeeper Willie to describe the French. He added the words “cheese eating” to the phrase.
Del Dolemonte on April 10, 2009 at 2:55 PM
“Surrender monkey”
Racist!
ladyingray on April 10, 2009 at 2:56 PM
I’m hearing you, cp. Unfortunately the mind set of liberals is not one of unity; It’s a “me and mine” before all. That’s why they’re historically so ineffective. Hence, the push for a socialistic society- “We’ll all be happy if I make ALL the rules.”
anniekc on April 10, 2009 at 2:59 PM
What do you figure, Barry will be back up to 68-70%?
Yeah, and right after that, monkeys will fly out of my arse.

FIFY
Del Dolemonte on April 10, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Strong, intellectually and strategically daring (as usual) article by Caroline Glick on the implications of Obama’s “emasculation” of American strategy – definitely should have been a headline item IMO. Well worth reading in its entirety, here’s what it leads up to:

CK MacLeod on April 10, 2009 at 3:03 PM
I hope the electorate might learn something from this experience, and demand its candidates offer specific policy positions, instead of empty crticism of their predecessors and airy greeting card slogans. Elections are inevitably emotional contests in the age of TV, but the voters have a responsibility to demand concrete positions from their candidates. You can’t blame the candidates for trying to coast into office by peddling syrup and giving a few rousing speeches, but you can blame the voters for letting them get away with it.
Really? Does anyone else remember the Obama campaign speech where he promised to have a less muscular foreign policy? Or where he promised to make groveling apologies to every world leader he could wrangle an audience with? All I recall on the topic of foreign policy from Dear Leader was a lot of empty rhetoric about having a “smarter” foreign policy. Apparently “smarter” foreign policy means approaching the international community like a scrawny, frightened nerd on the first day of school, who hopes he won’t be beaten up for his lunch money.
I also missed the campaign speech where he promised to address violent attacks on American citizens by faithfully watching TV news reports for the duration of the crisis, interrupted only by the occasional retreat to a schoolyard for a quiet peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Doctor Zero on April 10, 2009 at 3:07 PM
And people are surprised that this TOTUS Clown is the most polarizing president according to every poll out there?
Reagan had near majority approval among Democrats during much of his time in office (hence the two huge landslide victories). Obama would be lucky to have 5% approval among Republicans in 2012 they way he is governing.
Norwegian on April 10, 2009 at 3:08 PM
It hasn’t even been 3 months and The One We Have Been Waiting For(TM) is already earning these kudos. I don’t see how we can survive 4 years of this slob. The republicans are really going to have to get it together for the next congressional election.

daryl_herbert on April 10, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Either that or we are going to find out 75% of America loves Michelle Obama’s hairstyle. I don’t think Barry will ever see 70% approval again, even with the padding done by the media polls.
sherry on April 10, 2009 at 3:13 PM
The One has been misunderestimated. He is more of a pantywaist than a light bringer.
Dhuka on April 10, 2009 at 3:21 PM
Firstly, I’d say probably 30% at best of Obama voters could even tell you what “internationalism” and “muscular foreign policy” mean.
Secondly, we’re dealing with it. We’re in opposition, like the moonbats were during the Bush years. Remember?

Actually, Rasmussen his President Cool at his lowest approval rating to date – 55% for the second day in a row – and still testing his all-time lows in “Presidential Approval” (%Strongly Disapprove – %Strongly Approve).
Give it time, and don’t expect too much too soon, esp. in tilted polls from the usual suspects. When Bush set out on the single policy that the left hated him for more than any other, and that led the country to turn on him, his approval was in the high 60s – 70s.

And people say we monkey around.
But we’re too busy singing

We go wherever we want to,

We don’t have time to get restless,
There’s always something new.
Hey, hey, we’re the ( Surrender ) Monkeys
And people say we monkey around.
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down.
We’re just tryin’ to be friendly,
Come and watch us sing and play,
We’re the young gneration,
And we’ve got something to say.
Any time, Or anywhere,
Just look over your shoulder
Guess who’ll be standing there
Hey, hey, we’re the ( Surrender ) Monkeys
And people say we monkey around.
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down.

The vast majority of people who voted for this clown act, do not have a vocabulary that would include seven syllable words, so that can’t possibly be it.
Face it, they voted for the media trumpeted, pleasant enough looking, well-spoken black man.
9 out of 10 Obama voters had no idea what the guy stood for or what was on his half-page resume and that’s those who weren’t voting illegally for the guy (thanks ACORN!).

It’s great to see at least someone in the media calling this joke of a president for what he is, a true candy ass and anti American. When he was elected I truly believed that we could survive 4 years of this joke of a leader, but now I am getting worried. Can America survive?
kam582 on April 10, 2009 at 5:38 PM
The upshot of the Obama European Tour is to say:
“You gotta figure it out on your own… you’re the leaders now… I’m too important to be bothered by little things like learning about your problems or caring about you… I don’t care about your pesky languages… your unassimilated muslim importee problem isn’t mine and might solve that too many languages deal… don’t get into another world war now… lets have a rousing Kumbaya all around… don’t call us, we’ll call you… lets do lunch some time… hope that Russia place can keep my caviar supply up… my people will contact yours… whats your Facebook ident?”
That is the only positive thing: Old Europe has gotten JUST what it has ALWAYS wanted.
They forgot to be careful what they wished for.

Is this a case of chickens coming home to roost? Hey, there are people living in America who would gladly inflict the same policies on us. It could happen anywhere.
AbaddonsReign on April 10, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Pantywaist is a bit too mild. He undermines American security and the US economy. Who’s side is he on? Not America’s, it seems.
Now, tell him that the leaders of Iran, Hamas, Russia, China, North Korea, etc., are Republicans, and the coward’s disdain will be up front and out loud.

he sounds like the king of some other country , blame america for every thing.his town hall meetings look more like a game show give me a kit. give me house, a give me a tv. you know what i would like a president who would give me the constitution 24/7 not socialism and thats just a nice word for communist.
wade underhile on April 10, 2009 at 6:29 PM
I hope to see that same arrogant certainty from you when your less muscular foreign policy leads to people dying because we are perceived to be weak enough to victimize, nancy-boy. Be sure you stand up and say: “I voted for less muscular foreign policy, and I admit that the blood of these people is on my hands.” But you won’t, will you? You’ll more likely say: “It’s Bush’s fault!” Coward.
austinnelly on April 10, 2009 at 6:51 PM
Latest news flash-after saying he would do so, President Panty has wimped out and will not be throwing out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals home opener on Monday.
This breaks a Presidential tradition dating back to 1910.
Knowing his IQ, I’m guessing he mistakenly confused “pitch” with “bitch”, and thought they were going to make him throw Michelle out of the stadium.
