Europeans Not Impressed by Obama’s Folk-Rock Diplomacy

January 17, 2015 by V the K

Obama’s “Smart Diplomacy” stunt of sending James Taylor to serenade the French failed to impress the Eurotopians.

European commentary to this event has been universal …. it is one of those WTF moments …. and yes …. this John Kerry (what the hell was he thinking) story has been covered extensively in Europe. On a side note …. I asked some of my friends in Russia on what did they think about this U.S. attempt at diplomacy …. sighhhh …. they are still laughing. As to what is my take …. looking on the bright side we should say that we were extremely lucky …. it could have been John Kerry singing “you got a friend” instead of James Taylor.

A Facebook Friend suggests sending these folks next time:

    I don’t believe it was intended as ‘smart diplomacy’. It was a big FU.
    To obama, no way in hell will he stand with those who dare support the slander of his prophet. And Jarrett referred to the unity march as a ‘parade’.
    No, they are definitely being vindictive little pajama boyz.

    And John Kerry was the Democratic Party’s 2004 candidate for President of the United States?

    Isn’t democracy wonderful? No-wonder we have trouble exporting it…

    If you go read comments on the various online news reports on this you will see that libera trolls have disappeared. They cannot even come up with a lame defense of this any better than the Whitehouse can.

    Should we add getting rid of liberal trolls to Obama’s long list of accomplishments?

    Annie:

    Great idea about not capitalizing Obama’s last name. We still have two years and two days of this incompetent.

    I rather like having James Taylor as our foreign policy mascot. Smart diplomacy is always characterized by leaving them confused about what just happened. It is too deep for regular people to appreciate and so nuanced that the elite can read just about anything in it.

    My second choice for our foreign policy mascot would be a canister of Tinker Toys.

    Definitely Tinker Toys…

    Legos would be too-European, and a Meccano Set too intellectually-challenging for Kerry and Obama to conceptualize.

    The Euros know an SNL skit when they see one. It is often more informative to read the Euro press than the US press to find out what’s really going on. They are less apt to provide cover for Obama than our own lickspittle media is.

    I looked at The Guardian, and they were very derisive (as well they should be) of this ‘diplomacy’. No serious person or nation acts like this.

    Mary, thank you for using “lickspittle” to describe the media. It fits them so well, and I’m glad to see the term being used.

    As an outsider and non-American, I can assure that I considered this act to be something that was ludicrous.

    How on earth did Barry win that second term? He must have cheated somehow.
