Liz Trotta: Obama ‘Encourages’ Foreign Media’s ‘Animosity’ Toward U.S.
Former NBC and CBS correspondent Liz Trotta contended on FNC’s Fox NewsWatch that the already “very, very liberal” foreign news media are “encouraged by Obama's analysis that everybody in the world hates us,” which “only certifies their animosity towards the U.S.”
Trotta’s assessment came in reply to FNC host Jon Scott, who wondered in regard to President Barack Obama’s trip to several Asian nations: “What about his status with the foreign press? He's gone on this big jaunt to Asia now, seems to be enjoying rock star status over there.”
The exchange from the Fox Newswatch aired on Saturday afternoon, November 13:
JON SCOTT: What about his status with the foreign press? He's gone on this big jaunt to Asia now, seems to be enjoying rock star status over there. Does he work the press better than he does in this country?
LIZ TROTTA: The foreign press is very, very liberal, almost always has been, and of course, encouraged by Obama's analysis that everybody in the world hates us. That only certifies their animosity towards the U.S. And read some of these foreign newspapers, even the Brits, it's the very far left liberal point of view.

Thank God you're here, Superman!

The problem is that to convince your audience, you have to assure them that you're not like the rest of your countrymen. In fact, you have to insult your countrymen to create the contrast. Sure, they were bad, but you're not like them -- you're good. You're different.
Psychologists call that narcissism. We have other words for it ...
Maybe they're all just afraid

Maybe they're all just afraid of us now. We are, afterall, no longer a Christian nation but one of the world's largest muslim countries, according to Himself.

One has to wonder where our allies stand with regards to the US. After all, Duh One has alienated some of them(Israel, UK, Australia, Germany, France,etc) by his actions. I truly hope that at this point, those leaders see The Chairman as not representative of the US anymore, which they seem to be give their treatment of him in the last few days.
I would wager that those countries are taking a wait-and-see approach, but I would also wager that the countries that we consider to be enemies might be getting ready to take advantage of the flux that we're in at this moment and something might happen real soon. This could not be a more dangerous time for the US as a country with so much at stake.

Obama is a rank amateur internationally

and the rest of the world knows it. All the pretense of his 'worldliness" has dissapated.
World leaders recognize that he's merely an empty suit, so they try to ply him.
Only in the US does a fauning MSM credit Obama and his Secretary of State with foreign policy accomplishments.
