Actually showing them respect for who they are. It does go a long way, especially when your country is at war.

Bwahahaha!!! You got to be kidding! Obama is a bumpkin. Want a run down?
British PM upon his first visit withthe newly elected President had given Obama a set of pens made from part of the HMS Gannet, a Victorian-era anti-slave ship. A desk that has sat in the Oval Office since 1880 was made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute, the Gannet's sister ship. It was a stunningly thoughtful and unique gift left reciprocated (Unless of course you call DVD set thoughtful). But even worse, Obama refused to hold a joint press conference with Brown or invite him for an official White House dinner. And to top it all off, he sent back a bust of Churchill that was lent to the White House after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
- Check: British kicked in the teeth.
Since March, Obama's social gaffes have included bowing to the Saudi king
- staring at the rear end of a 16-year-old girl
- suggested that Cambridge Police Officer James Crowley was stupid
- refused to meet with the Dalai Lama
- he refused five requests from Gordon Brown for a one-on-one meeting but found time to fly to Copenhagen to promote Chicago's Olympic bid
- and this month he sent Hillary Clinton to attend the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall(very minor world event not even on his wonderfulness' radar), but later made up for that by sending a video message of him talking about himself to Berlin. - Check: Germans kicked in the teeth
- Then topped it all with a bow to the emperor of Japan.
Obama cannot even blame the Japan bow on proper protocol. It was anything but proper. It was so inappropriate that it even offended the Japanese. Japanese newspapers refused to print the greeting it was so insulting. Check - Japanese kicked in the teeth.
Do I need to go into his handling of the trade with Canada? How about his waffling on Afghanistan? Iran?
So what standing are you talking about?With Chavezes of the world?
