Barack Obama and Ron Zook

After watching the complete lack of American influence in the current crisis in Egypt, I began to think back over the past two years and came to realize that Barack Obama has a lot in common with Ron Zook. When Zook took over the reins of the Florida Gators from Steve Spurrier, the Gators were a top 5, nationally ranked team. It only took Ron Zook seven games to take the Gators completely out of the top 25. In much the same way, in the past two years Obama has completely removed the United States of America from it's position as the major influence in world affairs to a place that must list us somewhere in importance with the also-rans such as Finland and Estonia. Obama's world wide apology tours and constant criticizing of the past American policies did nothing but raise eyebrows around the world as to what is going on with this once great and proud nation. Then...by bowing to every head of state that carried a title of President...Czar...Dictator...Sultan...or whatever, sealed the deal that America now pictured itself as just like the rest and not quite as good as most. Respect and influence took a dramatic downturn in the world political caucus. I guess that when you elect someone to the most important job in the world who has absolutely no administrative experience...and then surrounds himself with nothing but Chicago political hacks...this is what you get. Can it all be turned around in the next two years? I don't think so...too much damage has been done. It looks like it is going to take a fresh start in 2012 with a new, more experienced leader to take the greatest nation on earth back to the respected and influential level that is deserved.
