The End of Obama's Garbage Time..A Waste of Eight Good Years of Time! - mapoui - 11-26-2016
http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/11/25/all-aboard-the-post-tpp-world/
Quote:A half-hearted near handshake between US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin before and after they spoke “for about four minutesâ€, standing up, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru, captured to perfection the melancholic dwindling of the Obama era.
Quote:It was almost too painful to watch Obama defending his not exactly spectacular legacy at his final international press conference – with, ironically, the backdrop of the South American Pacific coast – just as Chinese President Xi Jinping all but basked in his reiterated geopolitical glow, which he already shares with Putin. As for Trump, though invisible in Lima, he was everywhere.
The ritual burial, in Peru’s Pacific waters, of the “NATO on trade†arm of the pivot to Asia (first announced in October 2011 by Hillary Clinton) thus offered Xi the perfect platform to plug the merits of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), amply supported by China.
Quote:Whatever the contours of Trump’s China/Asia foreign policy, Eurasian integration will proceed unabated. China is advancing its own simultaneously internal and external pivot, involving the tweaking of financial, fiscal and tax policies to drive consumption in retail, health, travel and sports in parallel to the OBOR drive all across Eurasia, all the way to solidifying an economic superpower.
TPP – or NATO on trade, the Asian version – is just a scalp in a long and winding road. And on the South China Sea, dialogue is slowly edging out the confrontation fomented throughout the Obama administration.
At APEC, Xi also met with Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte – and called for China and the Philippines to go for maritime cooperation. A practical result is that Philippine fishermen will continue to have access to Scarborough Shoal, the fertile fishing ground inside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that has been under Chinese control since 2012. Beijing also pledged assistance to Philippine fishermen in alternative industries – such as aquaculture.
Call it the Trans-South China Sea Partnership.

for what reason..good looks ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::
a nice good looking family ::confused::
sure ..why not.
but to like him for what he has been as president takes some explaining. there is no good reason to like him as dat..president. as president Obama has been a devil and a demon, an excellent impse.
as president Obama has had a devastating impact on people of colour all over the worl..and in the USA itself. Obama has been hell for black people. for ordinary white people too.
the only people who for existential reason like Obama can only be rich white people. only they benefited from Obama garbage time

look at the difference already in the world from what Trump has so far said. he has not had time to do yet and we don't know if he will do as he has said.
but already the world has receded from DEFCON 1
look at the hope and relief from the receding of war everywhere..the end of support for regime change and insanity like the Islamic State of the Levant.
if Trump does even half of what he says we will have a vastly different and better world in the next 4 years.
look in the Phillipines and China..lok at how they are working out their problem..easy like that with no freaking american involvement
for 50 phucking years plus america has had the Phillipines people at each others throats in that internecine right/left war, interminable killing, american soliders on the ground, huge military bases, corruption of the people of the Phillipines especially of the women with all manner of prostitution, drugs etc...
now Duterte is ending that nonsense. he has begun too sit down and compromise with the left, bring them in to share the power and so re integrate the people of his nation in the face of american opposition which whats the phillipines people to remain at war with themselves..the very war that american caused and supported all these years killing untold hundreds of thousands of phillipinos
and Obama was a major man in that..he and his forrin representative Hillary Sclinton
Re: The End of Obama's Garbage Time..A Waste of Eight Good Years of Time! - mapoui - 11-26-2016
dat mudder skunt Obama signed off on Sclinton's destruction of Libya. and most significantly in the process, he signed off on Hillary's GENOCIDE OF LIBYA'S BLACK POPULATION.
yes Obama did that..without even an emotional blip, or blink of his eys. Obama did not care, did not give a phuck for maybe a million black people who did not do him a thing.
all the black people of Libya have disappeared, their towns obliterated. that is what Obama and Hillary did.
Obama also attacked Somalia and have been at war in Somalia, against the Somalian people for 8 freakin' years. at the same time he was squeezing the sh!'t out of Eritrea,' only the most impressive black african country there is currently.
Obama's Garbage time was also very destructive time on humanity as a whole. Obama will be deemed an international criminal after he leaves office and there will be global arrests warrants made out for him..like they are for lil Georgie Bush, Henry Kissinger and others..like Rumsfeld. Obama will have to mind where he travels as an ordinary american.
and as american power wanes in the world, he will become more and more restricted until he has to stay home in america, or get arrested anytime he steps off as plane into another country.
Hillary Clinton too..and maybe Bill, retroactively
