They are SHOVING IT IN YOUR FACE and LAUGHING!!
Notice a GLARING OMISSION, readers (hint: protesters)?
Also, the TV COVERAGE is GARBAGE!!! Talking about MICHELLE OBAMA'S DRESS? The overlords and their rectal mouthpieces in the MSM obviously can't report on the REAL GLOBALIST PLANS going on inside.
I suppose that would enrage the (absent from the Globe's 'news' coverage) the protesters even more.
"Obama takes message abroad; World economy is main focus of Europe trip" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | April 1, 2009
WASHINGTON - After two months of frenetic action on a domestic financial rescue plan, President Obama took his message abroad yesterday, beginning a five-nation, eight-day series of meetings in Europe aimed at beefing up the international response to the global economic crisis and other international threats.
The trip, Obama's first as president, will be a breakneck sprint through an ambitious agenda, with three international summits, his first face-to-face talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Chinese President Hu Jintao, a major speech on arms control, and a visit to Turkey.
Obama's determination to push ahead on multiple fronts overseas mirrors some of the multitasking he's been doing on the domestic front. In addition to his hefty agenda at home, Obama "is trying to prevent the rest of the world from imploding," said Simon Johnson, a former International Monetary Fund economist who is now a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management.
He's getting in Israel's face then?
Obama's main goal, according to aides, is to try to stem the tide of global recession by persuading world leaders to increase the amount of money that the IMF can lend to struggling nations, protect free trade, improve financial regulation, and expand key international financial bodies to include emerging economies like China, India, and Brazil.
Weeks after Obama sold his domestic stimulus plan at town hall meetings in the American heartland, he presented his international vision last week to citizens across the globe with an op-ed that ran in 31 international papers, from Saudi Arabia to Chile.

"We are living through a time of global economic challenges that cannot be met by half measures or the isolated efforts of any nation," he wrote. Obama wrote that the leaders of the world's 20 biggest economies, who will meet tomorrow in London, "have a responsibility to take bold, comprehensive and coordinated action."
That's how we got into this mess.
Obama's call for action in the face of universal financial distress gained praise from many who have been following preparations for the so-called G-20 summit in London, a once-obscure group of finance officials that is now seen as a linchpin for world economic recovery.
Too bad that's not what they are doing.
Colin Bradford, a former chief economist at the US Agency for International Development who is now at the Brookings Institution, said Obama's familiar refrain about the United States not being divided between red states and blue states has been amended to fit an international audience.
"He's saying, 'We're not just Americans, Chinese, British,' " he said. " 'We're all global citizens. We are all affected by global challenges and global threats. Dealing with it alone is not going to work.' "
But Obama's message might face a tough audience in Europe, where many believe the crisis originated with greedy US bankers.
"There is a general anger that wants to blame the American banking system for everybody's problems," said Richard C. Eichenberg, a political science professor at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Government. Despite Obama's personal popularity abroad, he said, "I think the current circumstances make it difficult to lead."
Well, if the SHOE FITS!!!!
France and Germany have already given a cool reception to Obama's request for additional stimulus spending, arguing - as many US Republicans have - that using this method to jump-start the economy is too dangerous because it increases national debt.
Let's see Olbermann rip the French!
French President Nicolas Sarkozy sent up another sign of discord on the eve of the summit, saying that he would "get up and leave" if concrete progress was not being achieved, the French daily Le Figaro reported yesterday.
But the recent decision to include emerging economies such as Mexico, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia in talks that once were dominated by a handful of European nations and Japan is already paying dividends. China, pleased that its role as the world's third-largest economy is being recognized, is poised to offer $100 billion to the IMF, helping to get closer to the US goal of increasing cash and credit lines to $750 billion from the current $250 billion.
With an additional $250 billion in special credit under a separate IMF lending program, the fund might soon top a trillion dollars, providing a lifeline to poor countries that are facing a new wave of hardship.
That's why countries are in trouble.
An ANCHOR is NOT a LIFELINE to a DROWNING MAN!!!
"If it's a trillion, I'm going to call the summit a success," said Johnson of MIT. But Michael Froman, deputy national security adviser, warned reporters in London yesterday that success would not come easily.
"Most people agree that the Depression was made great by the lack of cooperation, that the Latin American debt crisis of the '80s lasted a decade in part because there was difficulty in formulating a common approach," he said. "But historically, it's proven difficult to cooperate around international crises because nations controlled their own fiscal policies . . . If you look back at the history of summits, there have been very few examples of summits that have achieved significant gains in terms of international cooperation during times of crisis."
Even without new spending, the world is already seeing an unprecedented level of stimulus, according to research released yesterday by Bradford.
And it's still in shit shape!
The sum of all domestic stimulus measures that have already taken by G-20 countries, including $787 billion in the United States and $585 billion in China, plus unemployment checks and other "automatic stabilizers" in Western European nations amounts to about 2.6 percent of the gross domestic product of all G-20 countries, covering three-quarters of the world's population, Bradford said.
That figure exceeds the 2 percent target that the IMF's top economist recommended, he said.--more--"
Meanwhile, let's pile on more insults while we are there:
"US seeks seat on rights council" by Matthew Lee, Associated Press | April 1, 2009
WASHINGTON - The United States will seek election to the UN Human Rights Council this year, the State Department said yesterday, announcing the Obama administration's latest reversal of former president George W. Bush's foreign policies.
Oh, BIG WHOOP!! Obama is STILL TORTURING!!!
Can you tell I'm TIRED of the MSM trumpeting the NO-CHANGE CHANGE CAT?!!!!
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice, US ambassador to the United Nations, said in a statement that the administration will join the council to help make it more effective as part of President Obama's desire to create a "new era of engagement" with the international community.
This from a NATION that WILL NOT PROSECUTE its WAR CRIMINALS (leaving that up to Spain, we are)!!! The CHUTPAH and HYPOCRISY makes you want to gag!!!
The Bush administration had boycotted the council because of its repeated criticism of Israel and its refusal to cite flagrant rights abuses in Sudan and elsewhere.
In other words, they were not our tool so Bush didn't wanna have anything to do with them!
"Human rights are an essential element of American global foreign policy," Clinton said. "With others, we will engage in the work of improving the UN human rights system to advance the vision of the UN Declaration on Human Rights."
Oh, that is SO INSULTINGLY IN-YOUR-FACE!!!!
Rice, who strongly advocates seeking a seat on the council, said the decision was made "because we believe that working from within, we can make the council a more effective forum to promote and protect human rights."
Then CLOSE DOWN the SECRET TORTURE CHAMBERS, huh? I mean, NOW!!!!!!!!
"We hope to work in partnership with many countries to achieve a more effective council," she said. The Geneva-based council was created in 2006 to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights, which was widely seen as ineffective and discredited. But the council has attracted the same criticism.
The United States, which played a leading role in creating the rights declaration under Eleanor Roosevelt, has stayed on the sidelines, frequently disparaging the council for spending much of its time attacking Israel's treatment of Palestinians while downplaying human-rights abuses in other parts of the world.
That was a LONG TIME AGO for the U.S, as we have committed INNUMERABLE OFFENSES SINCE -- including the ARMING and VERBAL DEFENSE of that LYING, LAND-STEALING, MASS-MURDERING piece of dirt called Iz-ray-HELL!!!!
Last month, however, the Obama administration said it would attend council meetings as an observer after rights groups complained that it had sat out of the panel's discussions on the rights records of China, Russia and other countries that Washington previously criticized for abuses. It also said it would evaluate possible membership.
That is so offensive to me. As a TORTURING NATION we have NO CREDIBILITY to DECIDE ANYTHING for ANYONE!!!!
The council is made up of 47 UN member states that serve staggered three-year terms. The next election will be held May 15 at the UN General Assembly in New York. The decision announced yesterday means the United States will be seeking one of three vacant seats allotted to the so-called "Western Europe and Other States" bloc within the United Nations. That bloc is currently held by Canada, Germany, and Switzerland. Diplomats say Norway, New Zealand, and Belgium are also interested, but they believe New Zealand will step aside to allow the United States to run.

And if you didn't think Harvard was a hotbed of globalists before, IN-YO-FACE!!!!!!!
CAMBRIDGE - As the world's 20 most influential leaders prepare for a crucial summit tomorrow in London, they can chew on some expert advice from professors and students at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
On the official summit website, climate-change policy specialists Robert N. Stavins and Robert C. Stowe sketch three potential successors to the Kyoto protocol when it expires in 2012. Economics professor Dani Rodrik suggests ways to give developing countries a bigger role in global financial structures. And Kennedy School students offer a strategy for an integrated, long-haul approach to Afghanistan.
Where are the PROTESTERS, Globe?
They are among the Kennedy School contributors to an innovative online forum hosted by the British government to generate ideas to tackle the thorniest global issues on the summit agenda, not least restructuring the world's financial system. It's a social-networking approach to participatory summitry that extends the debate to players far beyond the inner circles of power.
The Kennedy School's input appears in one of 11 forums posted on the British government's official summit website for delegates. The debate forums include one featuring "Grumpy Old Bankers," and another for 50 invited bloggers.
Where's my invite?
The forums are one of several mechanisms developed by the host government to invite public input; there's also a YouTube page as well as Facebook and Twitter links.
You mean JewTube, don't you?

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown set the stage for the Kennedy School role when he visited the campus a year ago, fresh from delivering a foreign policy address at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston that set out central challenges facing the world - and, seemingly presciently, called for tighter financial regulation.
Yeah, Gordo the prophet!! Pfffft!

The Kennedy School's involvement grew out of an initiative by the British Consulate in Boston last year, in which Kennedy School students produced a detailed study for the British Foreign Office on how to change the diplomatic language of counterterrorism. Three Kennedy School students coauthored that research for their master's degree thesis, with substantial British government support.
Mass murder based on lies, by any other name....

This year, two pairs of students produced summit papers as their master's theses, known at the Kennedy School as policy analysis exercises. The exercises are modeled on consulting projects for clients - and they benefit from heavyweight faculty advisers, including Graham Allison, director of the Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and a former assistant secretary of defense; and Eric Rosenbach, the Belfer executive director who previously was a leading staff member on intelligence issues on Capitol Hill.
Yup, BENEFITING from the GLOBALIST HEAVYWEIGHTS of HARVARD!!!
Rosenbach said the British government flew the student investigators to Europe and Washington and set up briefings with senior officials, much as they would for a highly paid consultant....
While the BRITISH GOVERNMENT is RUNNING DEFICITS and BAILING OUT BANKS? Oh, yeah, that WILL make a PROTESTER ANGRY!!!!!
No wonder the Englanders are in the streets on my tv!
Phil Budden, the British consul general for New England, said the Harvard content on the website "is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the collaboration." He said, for example, that British officials had traveled to Harvard several times to brainstorm with faculty members, including economist Lawrence Summers before he joined the Obama administration.
You mean, an IDEA like this?
"On December 12, 1991, while serving as chief economist for the World Bank, Summers authored a private memo arguing that the bank should actively encourage the dumping of toxic waste in developing countries, particularly "under populated countries in Africa," which Summers described as "UNDER-polluted."
Yeah, but the GLOBALISTS are trying to HELP AFRICA, right!!!
In one study, the student authors argue for an end to the piecemeal approach of Western countries in Afghanistan, and set out detailed suggestions on ways to integrate the military and development challenges there in a long-term approach.
I don't want to be in Afghanistan LONG TERM!
We've BEEN THERE LONG ENOUGH NOW!!!
In the other student paper, the students assess the potential changes in global human rights policy under the "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine, adopted at a 2005 global summit.
Then U.S. can't be part of it. We ain't protecting nobody except or toadies!
It gives international organizations a duty to intercede and impose sanctions if countries fail to protect their citizens.
So WHEN they gonna STOP ISRAEL from ABUSING and KILLING PALESTINIANS?

No wonder Obama has so many of them in his cabinet!
