The Obama Administration first in North Korea and now Krygyzstan is being TESTED but Obama is out to lunch?

First with the missile testing in North Korea and now Russia using the power of the purse to force Krgyzstan to close its base needed to fight the war in Afghanistan.

Seems like Obama is asleep at both the foreign affairs switch as much as he is with the switch for the domestic economy.

In a setback to the escalating U.S. military efforts in Afghanistan , the president of Kyrgyzstan said Tuesday that his government will shut down the American air base in his country.

The announcement by President Kurmanbek Bakiyev came in Moscow , not in his own capital, and shortly after the Russian government reportedly agreed to lend Kyrgyzstan $2 billion , write off $180 million in debt and add another $150 million in aid. Although the Russian government didn't release a statement about the decision, the timing and place of the announcement indicated that the Kremlin had been involved.

The Russian government has been pushing to restore its clout in the former Soviet sphere of influence 鈥?despite deep economic problems at home 鈥?a trend that most analysts say will make Obama's dealings with Russia delicate at best.

I think admitting that his own choices for his administration are weak and erroneous causes the confidence level of unstable countries to turn away from the US and look for the better handout. Hopefully, Obama will realize this somehow since he has NO military experience.

I THINK PRESIDENTS DO HAVE THAT POWER AND ABILITY

I thought he was the President of the United States. Your question sounds like he is the President of the World.

He's not asleep, he's just glad to see his real friends doing so well.

How is this his fault?
