Mr Obama campaigned upon the need of America to once again gain its position of respect and, further, adoration by other nations of the world.

Imagine, if you can, the total shock that must be occurring, in private, with Mr Obama and his wife when they were not met with utter and complete deference and love during their vacation in Rio de Janeiro this weekend.

A molotov cocktail was launched in front of the US consulate in Rio de Janeiro late Friday in protest of the arrival of President Barack Obama, the O Globo newspaper in Rio reported. Military police reacted by firing rubber bullets into the gathering of 200 at around 18:30 local time. A CBN news reporter suffered a minor injury from the shots and traffic was blocked.

Worse:

President Barack Obama has cancelled a public speech he was scheduled to deliver Sunday in a Rio square during his upcoming visit to Brazil, the US embassy in Brasilia said.

The speech in the historic plaza known as Cinelandia, in the heart of Rio de Janeiro, “is cancelled,” an embassy spokeswoman told AFP.

Obama instead will deliver remarks at Rio’s Municipal Theatre, the official said, without specifying whether it would be open to the public or exclusively for invited guests.

No explanation for the change of venue was given by the embassy. Brazilian authorities have laid out a heavy security presence for Obama’s two-day visit to South America’s largest nation, and police in Rio had closed numerous streets from midnight Thursday in preparation.

On Thursday, members of an advance US security team were seen inspecting the surroundings of Cinelandia, where anti-US banners could be seen hanging from a road-side fence.

Some social and union groups have declared Obama a “persona non grata” and called for a protest, accusing him of a “bellicose policy of occupation” in foreign countries, and of attacking people “in the name of the war on terror.”

Can you imagine how this must be stabbing Mr Obama in his very Socialistically/Alinsky/Ayers-educated heart? How it must pain him to be called an “occupier,” a “terrorist.” For shame!

Further, he won’t take questions from the Brazilian press.

So let’s see if I have things straight: though Mr Obama will bow before damned near anyone, will allow the UN to determine US policy, denigrates and sublimates America and tries, himself, to put us in our place. . .

He still finds that he isn’t universally loved around the world?

Imagine the shock! The consternation! The feelings of betrayal!

And now its Obama’s good friend and racist Louis Farrakhan who wants to determine Obama’s policy? From WVON, Chicago:

How sharply disappointing it must be to find yourself targeted from both sides of the spectrum — particularly the side that supported your original election bid.

Perhaps the one thing that actually managed to change Mr Obama a bit after taking office: the PDB.
