Supineness, Thy Name Is Obama

Another in a seemingly endless series of Obama's bad, horrible, really gawdawful, groveling, suck-uppy moves--apologizing for the Youtube Mo trailer, at American taxpayers' expense, on Pakistan TV. This is how much of an impact it's had on some of the locals.

Update: Further, ahem, clarification re the TV ads:

The television ads in Pakistan feature clips of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton during press appearances in Washington in which they condemned the video. Their words were subtitled in Urdu. ”We absolutely reject its content and message,” said Clinton in the advertisement. The advertisements end with the seal of the American Embassy in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital. A caption on the ad reads: ”Paid Content.”

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the ad was produced by the embassy, which spent $70,000 to air the 30-second spot on seven Pakistani television stations. Pakistan is the only country where the ads are running. The embassy wanted to run the ads because it determined that the messages of Obama and Clinton were not reaching enough of the Pakistani public through regular news reporting, Nuland said.

Yeah, that must be the problem--the fact that Obama's "message" isn't being heard in Pakistan (or in America either, apparently).
