Note to Obama: If you want to be treated like a superpower then act like a superpower (Video)

In a scene out of Bizarro World the United States is pissed at the French for being too aggressive in Libya!

Is this what the United States has become under the Obama administration? Upset because the French have become too aggressive by taking the lead in the attack and implementation of a no-fly zone over Libya? The French???

Obama ceded mission control in Libya to the U.N., Arab League and NATO while bypassing the Congress. He has since relabeled the mission goals from humanitarian to the taking out of Gaddafi and back several times. It is simply another glaring representation of an Obama attempt to be all things to all people.

As further indication of his global lack of standing, once the mission commenced his "coalition" that included the Arab League, NATO member Turkey and abstaining Security Council member Russia all hung him out to dry.

As I heard one commentator say he handled the crisis as a community organizer would, but certainly not as the commander-in-chief of the United States should.

All of this was being accomplished while President Obama was kicking a soccer ball around in Brazil on a junket that never should have been taken?

Note to Obama: If you want the U.S. to be considered the global superpower, do us a favor and lead like the commander-in-chief of the global superpower. But I suppose the obvious point is that he does not want us in that position.

Lead and stop being led so that we won't ever have to take a back seat to France again!

From the Financial Times: "French attempts to sidestep Nato at the outset of military operations against Libya have divided the international coalition enforcing a no-fly zone over the country, western diplomats said.

The French moves, which western diplomats said included launching the first attack on Libya without fully informing its allies, angered US and UK officials and are hampering efforts to transfer command of the operation to Nato, officials said. Relations grew so tense on Monday that French and German ambassadors to Nato walked out of a meeting of the North Atlantic Council, the alliance’s decision-making body, after Anders Fogh Rasmussen, secretary-general, criticised Paris for impeding Nato involvement and Germany for not actively participating."
