So the unfortunate, for Obama, thing is that last night's speech was badly received by everyone. I mean one thing when Fox news pans him, but today even NY Times criticized the speech

сегодня я услышала по радио, что если бы молодые американцы учили быили знали мировую историю, то они бы никогда не проголосовали бы заОбаму...

1. Offended the Queen of England.
2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.
3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.
4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.
5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia.
6. Sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against Honduras.
7. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions while
they're building their nuclear weapons. Also sent officials of the Obama
Administration to North Korea for direct talks about their nuclear program.
(This is tantamount to the US officially recognizing the government of
North Korea --- which we still do not --- and beginning diplomatic relations
with them --- which we never have had. And should not, ever.)
8. Gave away billions to AIG without pre-conditions.
9.. Expanded the bailouts (many more billions).
