Dashed Hopes: How 0bama Disappointed the World (NOT THE FUHRER THE GERMANS WERE LOOKING FOR)

Der Speigel ^ | 8/09/2011 | Marc Hujer

[Madame Dufarge]

I think anyone would be hard-pressed to find an article that showed such a profound lack of understanding of America as this.

Besides that, it's a sickening encomium to Hollow Man and how darned intellectual he is. Just too smart for us bohunks, don'tcha know.

[catnipman]

This whole article is nothing but a mish-mash of leftist claptrap. It’s really not worth the hours it would take to refute its fallacies point by point.

I might consider refuting a bit of it if Der Speigel allowed comments, but they, like The NY Slimes, deem their putrid propaganda so perfect that they do not wish to see it sullied with factual refutation from the great unwashed peasantry.

[Mr. Mojo]

I suspect the Der Speigelites are especially enamored with J. Wright’s anti-Israel views.

[Dick Bachert]

I’m not so sure! He looks like a clone of Adolph to me.

“Whatever happened to key ideas of changing our image in the world, such as closing Gitmo? The liberals lectured us that the mere existence of Gitmo helped recruit terrorists.

So why has a good Democrat president not closed Gitmo?”

The Democrat President takes orders from the same New World Order rulers from which a Republican President takes his orders.

I see Der Spiegel is depending on the usual objective sources: Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd, Andrew Sullivan.

...his political adversaries have become too confident. ...if in next year's presidential election they support candidates like Sarah Palin, Rick Perry and Michele Bachman, politicians who go too far in their furious attacks against the government, they could even scare off many right-wing voters.

One doesn't usually get political analysis quite this penetrating outside the comics section. If this is informed European opinion, I weep for that continent.

They came for the Jelly Donuts speech, but all they got was "My Father was a Kenyan Goat herder"

If IRC the Germans heckled him.

Did you ever know somebody that bought something; a car, a boat, a refrigerator, a barbecue, anything that personal pride is part of the purchase? When their super purchase broke too soon, didn't perform as well as they thought it would, they didn't turn on it and take it back or smash it, because they just couldn't admit that they made a bad purchase. Well that's the Barack Obama story times 50 million. Liberals are too embarrassed to admit that they screwed up and can't publicly admit that Obama is a bad president, the worst that the USA has ever seen.

[oldsicilian]

No Change. Spiegel has always been that way.

It was never about the World, the American people, the Liberals, the Dumb-o-Crats or the Unions, it was, is and always will be about HIM, FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS HIM.
