4/1/14, "Joke’s on US," NY Post Editorial
"When it comes to mocking a sitting president, the world’s most
dangerous leaders have apparently taken up the traditional role played
by late-night comics.
It started last August when the 11-year-old son of Syria’s Bashar
al-Assad took to Facebook with this message for President Obama: “I just
want them to attack sooo much, because I want them to make the mistake
of beginning something that they don’t know the end of it.” A few days
later, Papa Assad tells Charlie Rose that Obama runs a “social media
administration.”
Next came Vladimir Putin. It wasn’t enough to annex Crimea. In an
address to Russia’s Security Council, he said that though he didn’t have
an account at the bank targeted by Obama for sanctions, he now planned
to get one. In a tweet addressed to “Comrade @BarackObama,” his deputy
foreign minister asked “if some prankster” had drawn up the president’s
sanctions plan.
Now Iran’s getting in on the act: Tehran just appointed as its new
ambassador to the UN a man who was a member of the radical group that
seized the US embassy there in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage. This
means he will be coming to Manhattan — unless he is denied a visa.
Anyone want to bet the Obama administration will make such a move
against Iran while it’s in the middle of nuclear negotiations with Iran?
However weak Jimmy Carter may have been, even he didn’t suffer from
the outright mockery and contempt the world’s thugs now show for Obama.
We report this with no joy. For when an American president’s credibility
is so low his threats become a source of amusement, our world becomes a
far more dangerous place." Lucianne

Comment: Too bad the US doesn't have a Republican Party to pick up the slack in the interest of innocent Americans in a violent world. Not that the GOP was ever much to write home about as far as a political party goes. It's mostly always been a mob---sorry, a club.
