I like to make him bow down after the election. Can’t come soon enough. I bet his ego takes a huge hit when that happens. A+++

I take this as an encouraging sign. Romney is scheduled to speak to a less than obsequious audience. Of course I reserve the right to withdraw the praise if it turns into a panderfest.

Obumbum’s obsequious manners towards foreign leaders is nauseating to Americans and has earned him no respect from foreigners.

I dream of the day when a candidate goes to the NAACP and gives a speech on the economy or foreign policy. Romney should just treat them like Americans and give a speech explaining how he is going to revive the economy. Explain how this improves the lives of all, if he must.

Actually challenging them to change the attitudes in their communities about work and studying and responsibility would be too much.

Barack Obama - his demeanor an incongrous juxtaposition of contempt for our allies and obsequiousness to our foes.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Do they have absolutely no morals or sense in NYC? Or is the city filled with childless people who don’t worry if a child visiting from somewhere else sees naked adults? I don’t understand why this isn’t bordering on a sex crime - like flashing.

Obungle’s prior obsequious behaviors led to cartoons depicting him as bowing to the Burger King.

I have taken my young children into the city to visit my sister over the years. What we saw, though no nudity, was appalling. We all got an education in humanity’s depravity. My biggest memory for the World Trade Center was on the sidewalk outside the main doors, when a homeless man just sits right down about 3ft outside the main doors. He took of his show to show half a foot, an unhealthy looking one at that. People averted their eyes and walked wide around them hurrying on their way. My sister and I had to grab four kids and hustle them into the building before he looked up and took offense at one of them staring. Every one of my kids still remembers him. I am pretty sure they amputated more of that foot, either that or the infection killed him. The crazies were everywhere. If you looked at them they would come right at you. Scary.
