You know, when I’m doing a town hall meeting in some rural community, invariably, somebody will raise their hand and they’ll say, “When are we going to restore the respect that the world had for America?”

You know Barack, you and your supporters are wetting yourselves over the approval of the same world that holds in high esteem an organization whose peacekeepers rape children and women (and goats in Timor) in virtually every country where they are stationed:

• BBC: Peacekeepers 'abusing children'
• Reuters: UN troops in south Sudan raping children -report
• Sunday Standard: Peacekeepers as predators: UN sex crimes
• BBC: UN probes child prostitute ring (Congo)
• The Australian (orignal source): Stories of Jordan peacekeeper rape in Timor hushed
• Save The Children UK: Sexual abuse of children by aid workers and UN peacekeepers too often unreported

The world can find a suitable place to stick their respect. If they can't, I have a few suggestions.

Thanks for the ping. BTW, I’m going to be on vacation from tomorrow to mid-August & probably won’t be on FR much, so if I don’t respond to a lot of pings, that’s why.

...we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation...

First off...WORDS MEAN SOMETHING.

Second, what's this "we" crap???

"poor phrasing"

Right, I thought the operative excuse was "unartful", but you can only use that so many times.

The fact is Barry, or Barak, or whoever he is today was pig-ignorant of the issues, and hadn't a clue what he was saying, other than what would be to his personal political advantage.

[SJackson]

I wonder who explained to him what "cohesive" and "coherent" means.

I think that means we'll use Super Glue and Elmers.

Osama was fixing parking tickets in Peoria (or some other God-awful town) only a couple of years ago.

No, Chicage, I doubt he's been to Peoria much.

When he made his speech at his new Church, he noted he's the same guy you remember when I got your parking lot approved.

He's a community organizer after all, he knows about parking lots and stuff like that.

[SJackson]

And Obumble wants us to believe that he can negotiate with tyrants.

He can and more importantly will.

The results, that's a very different issue.

[SJackson]

Great link, the dumb ass goys no longer follow the media, but the pig ignorant Jew bastards follow Rabbi Pinch in lockstep.

OK, the author has an agenda, so he ignores the fact that Rabbi Pinch is a hard left CHRISTIAN, has been from birth, but do you really expect to sell that garbage here?

No need to reply to a dumbass Jew like me.

[SJackson]

Don't you love all this travel stuff, from a guy who can't speak spanish, and hasn't been to Europe. Yet, he'll be there soon on donor's dimes, a lot of dimes.

At least Kerry hung out in Europe. And had an African American wife!

[SJackson]

Yep. I assume he can learn, but NORMALLY, people do that before they become President.

“Poor phrasing” ... WTF???

Perhaps it lost something in the Indonesian to English translation.

[dfwgator]

Just great, now we’ll have to endure yet another inarticulate man in the White House.

[TornadoAlley3]

Obama is ashamed we do not all speak Spanish.

[maggief]

I got the impression that BO was ashamed Americans weren’t bilingual, including himself though he “mastered” the Indonesian language.

Wait a sec, perhaps he meant ‘naturalized’ Americans. ;o)

[SJackson]

Obama is ashamed we do not all speak Spanish.

Nor does he.

Nor has he been to Europe, or the Middle East, though that will soon change thanks to donors.

He's been to Indonesia, does he speak the lingo?

A shrink could have a field day with this guy.

This song keeps repeating in my head, over and over again, every time I hear, read or see BO:
