It’s not the audacity of hope. It’s just plain audacity.
This Barack Obama fellow acts as if he is someone important, as if he has ideas that we should hear.
Now that is audacious, as is everything he does. That’s why I call him “The Audacious O,” a nickname I’ve decided to popularize.
Earlier this month, for example, the Audacious O said he thought it was admirable that when Europeans come to this country, they can speak our language plus one or two others. When Americans travel to France, the Audacious O said, all we can say is, “Merci beaucoup,” which in French means, “Where’s the bathroom?”
The Audacious O is audaciously wrong on countless counts here.
First, Americans don’t understand only one language. Because of our love of Paul Hogan and Men at Work a generation or two ago, most of us understand at least some Australian.
But the bigger point is why should Americans have to learn a language beyond American? We, after all, are God’s country.
When national philosopher/poet Lee Greenwood demanded God bless a country, he demanded that God only bless the U.S.A. God responded because Lee Greenwood has special pull.
It’s an indisputable fact that Americans are in charge of the world because that’s what God wants. So when we travel to other countries to vacation or do business, people should be able to speak God’s language, which is our language. If they don’t we should just leave, which means those foreigners can do business with Germans, Japanese, Chinese or other people who waste valuable time learning languages.
My idol, Sean Hannity, made a good point when he said most of us can’t even talk or write our own American language well, so we need to concentrate on that before we start worrying about other languages.
I recently heard some expert talking on the radio about how it is good for the mind to learn another language, but I’m convinced there is nothing better for your brain than loving your country and its practices, one of which is speaking the American language.
Then, a few days after audaciously making his idiotic statement about foreign languages, the Audacious O went to the Middle East and Europe, where he acted like some big deal from America or something. In Iraq he even went to a military base, where he actually had the audacity to accept the cheers of soldiers.
(I would point out that a large percentage of those in the military are minorities and would naturally cheer for the Audacious O, but people might call me racist. I also would point out that he should have been expected to make that three-pointer in the military gym without warming up — he’s black, after all — but I don’t want people to think I would stereotype.)
Then, as he was on a military base, a soldier saluted the Audacious O, which goes against military protocol. Military salutes are reserved solely for the president, defense officials, military officers and members of Toby Keith’s band.
How audacious is the Audacious O? He didn’t even scold the soldier for the salute. He just went on with his business of being audacious.
In Europe the Audacious O was audacious enough to meet some world leaders. Then he spoke to hundreds of thousands of people who came to hear him as if he were some sort of dynamic speaker or potential world leader.
Yes, the Audacious O got the people there fired up about what he might do if elected to the most important job in the world. He did so by appealing to the three things Euros deeply love: liberalism, high-necked black turtleneck sweaters and that techno/trance “music.”
The Audacious O promised to lower tariffs on high-necked black turtleneck sweaters and promote not only same-sex but inter-species marriage, as long as those getting hitched wear high-necked black turtleneck sweaters.
He even had a techno/trance band play at his big speech, no doubt trying to get the people all robotic so they could respond to the Audacious O’s speech like the machines they’re raised to be in Europe.
As my boy Sean H. said, it’s as if the Audacious O is running for president of Europe. Yes, some people jumped all over Sean for using the term “president of Europe,” but Sean knows the nation of Europe doesn’t have a president. It has a prime minister.
The Audacious O, though, is just audacious enough to think he could run for prime minister of Europe while running for president of the United States.
If he wins the election for Europe’s prime minister, the Audacious O might just be audacious enough to say, “Donde esta el bano” which in Spanish means, “Thank you very much.”
Comment:
This professor hits the nail on the head.
Actually I think this guy is mocking the very point you make. BTW, I agree with you.
He might but he sure has received some heat from the local airhead Obama supporters.
