Arrogance and Ignorance

Obama and the Democrats made much of American unilateralism-Bush the go it alone cowboy, during the campaign. Yet, when invited to the G-20 Summit with the world's most powerful economies gathered to work their way out of recession, Obama deigns not show up. Reportedly. he has sent two representatives including former Secretary of State Madeline Halfwit. Is Obama so almighty and infallible that he need not listen to the constructive ideas of other world leaders? Or could it be the case that Obama does not want to betray his ignorance on matters economic to so many luminaries? In either case, Obama and the US could benefit from solutions like the one offered by Gordon Brown-certainly no rightist Prime Minister, for global tax cuts to stimulate economic growth. Obama has no intention of listening to anyone who doesn't promote his brand of socialism.
