Obama exhorts US, allies to bolster Arab Spring

WARSAW, Poland – Holding out Poland's transformation to democracy as a model for the world, President Barack Obama on Saturday exhorted Western allies and the American public alike to extend their support, energy and vision to those now reaching for democracy in the Middle East and North Africa.

Obama wound up his six-day trip to Europe with a message aimed squarely at the people of the United States, saying that in a time of tight budgets, "I want the American people to understand we've got to leave room for us to continue our tradition of providing leadership when it comes to freedom, democracy, human rights."

Obama, in a brief news conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, assured Americans that he spends the bulk of each day worrying about the U.S. economy and how to strengthen it and create jobs. But he coupled that with the message that it is a U.S. obligation to support democracy around the globe, one that pays dividends in the form of a safer and more prosperous world.

Speaking with urgency in his voice, Obama said that while no outside country can "impose change" on another, "We can really help. We can facilitate. We can make a difference."

Obama’s merely spreading our “wealth” around. He’s good at that.

The Soetoro kid seems utterly unaware that the French tried that; the British tried that. The Spaniards tried that. For over 80 years.

The results can be summarized by the long list of thousands of assasinations and executions and hundreds of enormous 9-figure bank accounts scattered throughout the world.

Yeah, he’s got the time to lobby for fundamentalist muslim nations, to campaign as a fake Irishman and embarrass us in England, but it’s been seven days and counting since 132 Americans (and counting) died in Missouri and so far, just lip service from 0.
I guess they just ain’t his type of people. One thing you can be sure of—Joplin, described in more than one article as a “gritty, working class community”(translated: “white”) will pull itself up with or without help from 0’s Washington.

Evidently he is fooling a whole bunch of folks including American Jews. But a lot of us saw through his crap before he even won the election.

Wait....didn’t this a$$hole just get his snout publicly slapped for trying to throw the freest Middle-East democracy under the bus a couple weeks ago?

He did indeed. But, he forgot, I guess. It's up to us to help refresh his memory - 24/7.

Exactly!

Today the Drudge posted, “Tornado orphans grieve, carry on...” and “Funerals begin...”

Zero couldn't be bothered to be there for his OWN grieving countrymen. And now that funeral services have begun for those lost in the tornadoes, I wish he wouldn't bother dropping by just to pose with the flower arrangements.

Its only going to make me really really angry!

He's going to try and look mournful and sincere as he speaks to the hurting communities... as if we haven't seen pictures of him laughing, drinking, prancing, and smirking overseas in photo ops ALL this week.

What a pandering, duplicitous, snake this man is!

"Arab Spring"

He sings it to this tune:
♫ Springtime ♪♫
♪♪ for Hitler ♫♪
♪♫ and Germany ♫♪♪

They should do a remake of The Producers with Obama and Arafat singing.

Two thoughts:

1. Obama won't get a dime for his Arab Spring if it requires the approval of Congress.

2. Poland has a grand history in the preservation of Western Civilization:

After twelve hours of fighting, the Poles held the high ground on the right. The Holy League cavalry waited on the hills, and watched the infantry battle for the whole day. Then at about 5 PM King of Poland ordered the attack, the cavalry attacked in four groups. One group was Austrian-German, and the other three were Polish. Twenty thousand horsemen charged down the hills (the largest cavalry charge in history).[citation needed] The charge was planned and led by King of Poland Jan III Sobieski at the head of 3,000 Polish heavy lancers, the famed "Winged Hussars". The Lipka Tatars who fought on the Polish side wore a sprig of straw in their helmets to distinguish themselves from the Tatars fighting on the Ottoman side. The charge broke the lines of the Ottomans, who were tired from the long fight on two sides. In the confusion, the cavalry headed straight for the Ottoman camps, while the remaining Vienna garrison sallied out of its defenses and joined in the assault.

The Ottoman troops were tired and dispirited following the failure of both the sapping attempt and the brute force assault on the city. The arrival of the cavalry turned the tide of battle against them, sending them into retreat to the south and east. In less than three hours after the cavalry attack, the Christian forces had won the battle and saved Vienna.

After the battle, Sobieski paraphrased Julius Caesar's famous quote by saying "Venimus, Vidimus, Deus vincit" - "We came, We saw, God conquered".

Not that I've seen and I'll be stunned if it ever is. This is a good point to use with friends who still watch and/or trust MSM. If they haven't heard it, "Do you ever wonder what else they haven't told you..."

What worries me more then anything else is we have two types in Washington and around this country. Those who are too stupid to understand that the pos in WH is working for the MB and those who are complicit. I’m beginning to think that those of us who see through his taquia are in a minority.

LOL! It proves she's the smarter of the two. I don't think he got it until QE2 hissed, "Set it down." But it wasn't the Queen's fault. It was Islamo Bamma's fault.

Let’s call it what it is. The US is now acting as “the ideal place for Islamic renewal.” We pay the jizya for all the borrowed billions sent to the ME, 80% of which goes for weaponry...to kill Jews sooner and Christians sooner or later.

0bama’s religious advisor used those exact words last summer. And 0bama, remember, spoke of the US as the largest Muslim nation on earth.

Of course 0bama celebrate Polish Jews at the Warsaw Ghetto. Almost all of them died.

;U.S. President Barack Obama meets members of the Jewish community and Holocaust survivors at the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial...

Would you believe the "promises" Obama allegedly the made to these Polish Jews (according to another AP story) to "stand by Israel"? I don't think that these photos are going to improve his popularity in Israel, but they were probably staged by his henchmen in an effort to ease the problems created in the American Jewish community by his State Dept. speech last week. Hopefully, the gambit won't work.

BTW, would you not think that he would have a language problem in communicating with these Polish Jews?

I'd laugh if it weren't such a serious matter. But that elderly Polish Jewish man seems to be really annoyed with Zero. I just hope he's not punished for speaking his mind.
