Anti PGMA celebrated when they learned that she was snubbed by US President-elect Barack Obama. They cheered and mocked PGMA. A major broadsheet (It’s actually a tabloid pretending to be a broadsheet) even runs an editorial suggesting that Obama ignored her because she’s corrupt.
As courtesy protocol, a world leader like PGMA must send out congratulatory filler for all the newly elected Presidents / Prime Ministers or newly crowned monarchs. It’s sad that the symbolic call was snubbed. PGMA should never initiate a call again. She already made the gesture and that’s the end of it.
Obama’s snobbery only means one thing and I’m right all along. Third World countries do not matter to him. His election as the new President in the United States doesn’t mean 360 degrees turn in their foreign policy. Obama could have used PGMAs call in order to assure her that he will restore US goodwill among nations. This is where Obama and Hillary Clinton differ. Hillary Clinton has an impressive resume in foreign policy. Unfortunately, the Democrats choose to ignore it.
