Doakes Sunday: Reservations
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Remember a couple of months ago, when President Obama was on his Far East World Adulation Tour, he promised Japan and the Philippines that the good old US of A would be their big brother against mean old China?
Considering he can’t even manage to abandon Iraq without dithering about pulling troops and then sending them back in again . . . do you think the Prime Ministers of our new allies are feeling all warm and fuzzy about Barak Hussein Obama having their backs?

I’m guessing that whole “contain the Japanese military” thing is eroding fast these days.

Even Poland observed that partnerships with the U.S. were worthless and probably even detrimental.

Ah, you beat me to it, Boss.
Yeah, Obama has your back – without even giving you the courtesy of a reach around.
