(bumped up from early Monday morning) In a follow up to Susan’s earlier post, I wanted to point out an error in Obama’s response to the 50 minute diatribe launched by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, where he criticized the US for what he called 100 years of terroristic aggression in Central America and denounced the [...]

(Updated and bumped up from late night Saturday, and again from Sunday afternoon.) It’s because I’m new and special!, PBO thinks, that Noriega omitted me from his rant! Today, at the Summit of the Americas, President Obama listened to “a 50-minute diatribe from socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that lashed out at a century of [...]

Aretha sang about it, but Barack can’t find it. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. On every continent, the flashbulbs pop and the ink runs, but President Barack Obama is getting schooled by the world’s leaders and tyrants alike–from Sarkozy to Lulu to Chavez to Kim Jong Il–who clearly neither respect nor fear him or our country. He’s a smooth [...]

Not Quite a Handshake. The photograph is meant to tell the story, but at this point there is fresh confusion. At the OAS confab at Trinidad, POTUS Obama sought out POV-for-Life Hugo Chavez in order to speak in friendship. The early report is that Mr. Obama said, “I want to be your [...]

Susan’s Notes: Well!!! It’s happened, after all the conjecture the past few days speculating if the two men would meet. Today, they shook hands. From the April 18, 2009 Times UK, “President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela“: All the conjecture and today’s meeting reminded me of Truthteller’s excellent piece on March [...]

Latin America policy uber diva Julia Sweig chaired a news-making gathering at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington yesterday morning. It was excellent, and the CFR has audio of the entire event here.

I came across this interesting story the other day, “Most Electronic Voting Isn’t Secure, CIA Expert Says.” Well, no freakin’ kidding – anyone who has paid the LEAST bit of attention to the issue of electronic voting machines knows that, right? Thank heavens, someone int he government is FINALLY addressing this issue! Except, just not [...]

HILLARY on MEXICO (Remember how Greta’s husband was actively involved in Hillary’s campaign, and a major donor as well? Greta can’t say it, of course, but I’ve always sensed — it’s always been clear to me — that Greta deeply admires Hillary and never misses a chance to report on our superb Secretary of State. [...]

As you know no doubt know, Obama just took his first big trip abroad as president … to Ottawa. That got me to thinking – it has been almost a year since Canadian TV reported that Obama’s aide, Austan Goolsbee, was assuring Canada that NAFTA was safe and sound, despite Obama’s campaign promises to renegotiate [...]
