The UN loves Obama because he's weak

The UK Telegraph explains why, if there's any entity that still worships Barack Obama, it's none other than the United Nations (Hat tip: Hot Air Headlines). And that figures. I've just heard him at the UN on FOX News, where he said that the US does not recognize Israeli "settlements".

If there's anyone in Europe now whom he's fallen out of favor with, it's Poland and Czechoslovakia, following his decision to scrap a missile defense system planned for their countries to defend themselves against Iran and even Russia (Hat tip: Melanie Phillips):
Poles and Czechs voiced deep concern Friday at President Barack Obama's decision to scrap a Bush-era missile defense shield planned for their countries. ‘Betrayal! The U.S. sold us to Russia and stabbed us in the back,’ the Polish tabloid Fakt declared on its front page. Polish President Lech Kaczynski said he was concerned that Obama's new strategy leaves Poland in a dangerous ‘gray zone’

... An editorial in Hospodarske Novine, a respected pro-business Czech newspaper, said: ‘an ally we rely on has betrayed us, and exchanged us for its own, better relations with Russia, of which we are rightly afraid. ‘The move has raised fears in the two nations they are being marginalized by Washington even as a resurgent Russia leaves them longing for added American protection.
Even on Russia, as we've learned last years, their fears are justified. But you see, that's Obama's foreign policy, which is to grovel to the enemies of freedom, and run the risk of endangering the world.

A recent NBC poll (via Hot Air) tells that more independent voters now disapprove of Obama.

Update: and now, we have an article about this from Human Events by Mark Ipomemi, pointing out some of the most awful things Obama did at his UN speech the other day. Plus, here's another topic on this from One Jerusalem and Power Line.

Update 2: John Bolton spoke to National Review (Hat tip: Jammie Wearing Fool), and summed up quite well what Obama's speech was:
Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton tells NRO that President Obama’s address to the U.N. was “a post-American speech by our first post-American president. It was a speech high on the personality of Barack Obama and high on multilateralism, but very short in advocating American interests.”

“It was a very naïve, Wilsonian speech, and very revealing of Obama’s foreign policy,” says Bolton. “Overall, it was so apologetic for the actions of prior administrations, in an effort to distance Obama from them, that it became yet another symbol of American weakness in the wake of the president’s decision to abandon missile sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, and his recent manifest hesitation over what to do in Afghanistan.”

“The most significant point of the speech was how the president put Israel on the chopping block in a variety of references, from calling Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegitimate to talking about ending ‘the occupation that began in 1967.’ That implies that he supports going back to 1967 borders,” says Bolton. “Obama has a very tough road ahead. He is frequently taking the side of the Palestinians, who don’t have a competent leader who can make hard decisions and compromises in the future.”
Well just don't sugarcoat it on that last part. But he's right, this is one more thing that makes Obama one of the weakest political leaders in recent history. Here's one more item from NRO, and another from Pajamas Media.

Update 3: here's another take on all this from Hot Air's Green Room.
