Obama Connects With Young Europeans [tells cheering crowd in France, "America is changing"]
New York Times (aka NY SLIMES) ^ | April 3, 2009 | HELENE COOPER

STRASBOURG, France — President Obama, appearing on the eve of a NATO summit meeting here, told a cheering crowd of young people on Friday that “America is changing, but it cannot be America alone that changes.”

The gathering resembled any of the countless, similar rallies held during his presidential campaign. But this one took place in the Alsatian border region of France and Germany, not in a gymnasium in Des Moines, and Mr. Obama seemed bent on repairing soured trans-Atlantic relations that began with the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

And also a ‘self-absorbed megalomaniac’ as you say. He’s a lot of both.

“He [Obama] offered his thoughts on a wide catalog of global issues, drawing cheers when he spoke of shutting down the military prison at Guantánamo Bay and reducing nuclear stockpiles.”

Change is like a pendulum, it never stands still.

0, might be right, but he will never see America becoming European. There will be more than blood on the streets and even the islamists will take a second look. Only a small percentage of Americans want this change.

A greater (far) percentage just wanted to get rid of Pres Bush. Though more than a few are beginning to realize “better the dog you know than the one you don’t”

No one knows Obmama still

America IS changing. Her citizens are stockpiling weapons and ammunition in anticipation of a second civil war instigated by the imposter in chief.

It can be argued that we’ve already surrendered to the communists by electing one our Pres__ent.

“What possibly can Obama say to America on the 4th of July?

I won?”

Demoralization is an excellent tactic. Having the will to continue the fight in the face of such pressure is absolutely necessary.

Nevertheless, I, who can wax prosaic a lot here, just about can’t post after reading and thinking about that. It’s like hearing “Taps” or “The Navy Hymn.”

"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said.

Uh-waaa!

Hopefully someone will find that spot and beat him there some more....Severely!

It's more mob hysteria for Obama's messianic ego and grandiosity.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.
Collective insanity.

Fouad Ajami wrote an article about this during the campaign that Obama represented a throwback to the mob and street hysteria of Third World politics. Insane, deranged, cheering and shouting people jumping up and down.
