A: Barack Obama.

Next question: What do all of these figures have in common (besides a lack of balls?) Right. They all thought they could play nicey-nice with some of the world's nastiest dictators and tyrants. I fear that soon, their common ground will expand to include the dismal failure of all three's foreign policy pursuits.

This week, President Obama traveled to Munich...I mean...Trinidad, in order to meet with the "leaders" of the Western Hemisphere, including (of course), one of the least desirable among them, Marxist/socialist Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez.

You may recall that during the campaign for president, Obama took a position so absurd that many considered it an accident subsequently adopted or defended for the sake of continuity. Namely, that the long-standing policy of U.S. presidents NOT sitting down to negotiate with hostile or rogue powers without preconditions is somehow a bad idea.

Of course, there's a good reason we don't start open-ended discussions with power-hungry, totalitarian rulers. In such discussions, the good guys NEVER come out on top. As a matter of fact, it usually leads to some huge concession to the undesirable. Examples?

Yes, I'll take "Hitler and the Sudetenland" for three-hundred.

But Obam-bi, in his Prince-Of-The-Forest like arrogance, has the audacity to hope (haw haw) or imagine that he alone among the great leaders of the Free World has stumbled upon the panacea for all difficult negotiations. Are you ready to hear what it is?

"Be nice to people."

It sounds funny, but that's exactly what he believes! He's like some little middle-school kid in science class who thinks he has devised a method for time travel where all adult geniuses have failed. But that is how Obama thinks.

The Los Angeles Times reported that "Obama said it would be a mistake to measure the Summit of the Americas by the specific agreements reached."

(Obama in two years: "It's a mistake to measure the success of my stimulus package by the specific number of jobs created"). Results aren't important. Like the good little liberal that he is, Obama measures success not by actual achievements, but by the good feelings he generates.

The Times went on to report that "By listening to his counterparts and eschewing heavy-handed diplomacy, [Obama] said, he was creating an atmosphere in which, "at the margins," foreign leaders are "more likely to want to cooperate than not cooperate.""

And indeed, this attitude seems to have yielded positive results, as President Chavez made a real show of thanking Obama by handing him a book about American imperialism in Latin America.

After calling President Bush "the devil" and Obama an "ignoramus," Chavez evidently had a change of heart this week. Now the light has dawned! He realizes that the man he called an "ignoramus" is not merely another imperialist U.S. president, but a tender-hearted amicable communist like himself!

""We have a different focus, obviously," Chavez said on Venezuelan state television. "But we are willing. We have the political will to work together.""

If Barack becomes such good friends with Raul Castro, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong Il, it will take a resurrected Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan COMBINED to restore America's dignity and balls.
