What an apology tour cannot undo, PERSONAL arrogance makes 100 times worse

Barack Obama started his amateur foreign policy presidency by trolling the world with apologies not just for what america MIGHT have done (in his personal and self …conceptual view), but also for what America IS day in and day out (and turn off that air conditioner, will you?), and what we began as (we did slaves, bro..never mind the 650,000 MILITARY casualties from 1861-65 to end that).
He must have expected this apologygasm to make us liked and that in doing so, for the record, there would be some concrete benefits.
Somehow.
Someplace.
But you can’t run from yourself.
Obviously, and as we have seen here in the USA several times, once you personally affront Mr. Obama, for that crime, there shall be no end of sentence, and no limit in carrying out ‘justice’.
Thus, history might record that the number one side affect of Mr. Snowden’s actions was to demonstrate to all of Latin America, that out of Obama’s personal insult, all of North America and Europe would treat one of their presidents as 3rd world cargo on their 1st world airplane.
I write, of course, of the RIDICULOUS incident regarding Bolivian President Evo Morales, whose flight Moscow » Quito, was forced to land, because SOMEONE told SOMEONE that Snowden was on board.
Returning home to a hero’s welcome, Morales called it an “open provocation” to the South American continent after France, Spain and Portugal refused to let his plane pass through their airspace.
The United States and European allies “use the agent of North American imperialism to scare us and intimidate us,” Morales said.
Morales added: “I regret this, but I want to say that some European countries should free themselves from North American imperialism.”
In this particular, how can you argue?
Now I would have told these people, “TO HELL WITH YOU, this plane is Bolivian territory and you are not coming on board." Then SAT at the airport. Every passing hour would demonstrate the WRONGNESS GROWING.
Think he was welcomed as a hero when he got home?
Here is the AMAZING thing, though, america haters (and W haters)… “W" would NEVER have done this. Lincoln tried it, btw, kinda sorta. But he was after war prisoners. REAL WAR. And he backed down.
Only the personal arrogance of Barack Obama who sees time’s answer to the horrible America of his imagination in the mirror would do such a CLEARLY, STUPID, STUPID thing.
Anything Snowden has cannot be stopped with our possession of his physical body. That part is FINIS.

This is about this president sending a message to those who would blow the whistle on his ideas and methods.

World, WELCOME TO CHICAGO
Oh, and Mr.Morales?
THE REAL AMERICA FEELS STUPID OVER THIS.
Who would not?

Will Morales do THIS? He should!

Interesting.

Steyn was hosting Limbaugh yesterday and he spent the first fifteen minutes of the show making fun of Bolivia for their negative reaction to this provocation.

I thought Steyn was being callous, BUT at the same time, my brain tells me, "Well, at least Obama was finally treating SOMETHING as an Act of War."

Your point that he sees this as an Act of War against himself is interesting, but it is probably unprovable.

That does not mean you're wrong.

This is it exactly:

THIS IS ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT SENDING A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WOULD BLOW THE WHISTLE ON HIS IDEAS AND METHODS.

Obama is EGO in the flesh. How dare anyone work against him, appose his ideas, fail to comprehend his excellency.

Great post Epa. You hit the nail on the head.

If Snowden could really hurt american security NOW, which is to say, endanger our people here or our troops, then frankly I'd be behind FORCING THE GODDAMNED PLANE DOWN.

However, after the last 6 months, WHO WOULD BELIEVE US (Obama)?

Not me.

And given what we know, and Snowden confirmed and the govt admitted, imagine the level of proff we would require to make such an act PROPER in our eyes.

No, this is about Obama, not America. And they ARE NOT THE SAME.

Electronic communications means nothing Snowden has on or about his person cannot be revealed with him not around, and might actually be triggered by his capture.

Frankly I'm surprised Morales acceded in any way. Imagine if this had been a plane with Daniel Ortega.

He could have been a hero by facing the music here. He is a jerk. Obama is worse.

Epa,
However, after the last 6 months, WHO WOULD BELIEVE US (Obama)?

With you there! Absolutely!
