British Press Goes There: "Barack Obama: President Pantywaist - New Surrender Monkey on the Block" »
Posted By pc25 7 months, 2 weeks ago in News
from the Telegraph
President Barack Obama has recently completed the most successful foreign policy tour since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. You name it, he blew it. What was his big deal economic programme that he was determined to drive through the G20 summit? Another massive stimulus package, globally funded and co-ordinated. Did he achieve it? Not so as you'd notice.

And its enough for you cowboys to all get your knickers in a twist?!
Do you have any idea how many THOUSANDS of great reviews he got in Europe from mainstream media and how incredibly relieved the whole world is that GWB is "writing his memoirs".?
Pathetic p***ing in the wind.

I'm not against gift-giving in international relations. But it would be nice to see some reciprocity. Obama was in a giving mood throughout Europe. While Gordon Brown was trying to make his American DVDs work and the queen was rocking to her new iPod, the rest of Europe was enjoying a more fulsome Obama gift.
Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.
And what did he get for this obsessive denigration of his own country? He wanted more NATO combat troops in Afghanistan to match the surge of 17,000 Americans. He was rudely rebuffed.
He wanted more stimulus spending from Europe. He got nothing.
From Russia, he got no help on Iran. From China, he got the blocking of any action on North Korea.
And what did he get for Guantanamo? France, pop. 64 million, will take one prisoner. One! (Sadly, he'll have to leave his swim buddy behind.) The Austrians said they would take none. As Interior Minister Maria Fekter explained with impeccable Germanic logic, if they're not dangerous, why not just keep them in America?
When Austria is mocking you, you're having a bad week. -

Gerald Warner gets it.
Today the columnist for The Telegraph asks, "Is it just me?"
...No Gerald. Not everyone in America drank the Far Left Cut-n-Runner's KoolAid... Or smoked his hopium

You have to remember...conservatism isn't only on the retreat in the US, but elsewhere in the world, as well...
Most people see extreme conservatism for what it is, and most people, being sensible and realistic, just don't like it... -

Charles Krauthammer and Gerald Warner take up where Jackson Diehl left off in analyzing Barack Obama’s Grand Tour this month. Both men sound warning alarms over Obama’s tendency to surrender large swaths of the American agenda in return for getting nothing at all. And while Krauthammer wonders whether Obama has a sense of his own American identity, Warner wonders whether Obama has any sense at all. -

I guess Nappy did get some of his troops back from Russia but over 50 thousand froze and starved to death returning to France when he had to leave Moscow. Not a triumphant for him to say the least. -

"President Pantywaist is hopping mad and he has a strategy to cut Kim down to size: he is going to slice $1.4bn off America's missile defence programme, presumably on the calculation that Kim would feel it unsporting to hit a sitting duck, so that will spoil his fun."

Change!... Brits Mock First Lady For Dressing Like "Drag-Act Diva"
How's this for change?
The Brits are now mocking the First Lady for dressing like a "drag-act diva."
The Times Online reported:
I know, you're fed up with reading about Michelle Obama. But let me just tempt you towards one last, tiny detail: the First Lady's falsies. Michelle Obama is normally so natural looking, it's surprising to find something about her that is so unapologetically fake.
Those eyelashes weren't even trying to look real.
No, they were full-on, all-out diva lashes, the kind you normally find on D-list celebrities or in drag-act dressing rooms
OUCH!!!!!!! what a week -

Some American news people compared Michelle to Jacqueline Kennedy. It was amazing to me they didn't choke telling lies like that. Can you imagine Jacqueline Kennedy not knowing what to do when she met the Queen and Jackie would never have given her an ipod. Any gift that Jackie chose would have been most appropriate, exquisite and chosen especially for the person receiving the gift. I do remember Jacqueline Kennedy and Michelle Obama isn't Jacqueline not in any way except they were both female.

Isn't it funny how when the majority of the world criticized Bush (over and over and over and over) these same right-wing pundits (PC, doggie bag, not so klar-issa, et cetera) attacked those other countries, called them cowards for criticizing the US and said that the US should never listen to other countries because it's.. well.. an independent US.
Reply
But then when any country criticizes Obama, usualy from a biased source with an agenda, they heap lauds and flowers on the criticism and then start their right-wing circle-jerk.-

Cheese-eating surrender monkeys
The line was first picked up and used predominantly by Republican American politicians and publications. They were led, according to the British national newspaper The Guardian, by Jonah Goldberg, a columnist for the U.S. bi-weekly National Review and editor of their website National Review Online.[3] Goldberg's online-only column, the G-File, is written in a more casual, personal manner and in the late 1990s often contained Simpsons (and other pop-cultural) references. Goldberg's repeated aggressive use of the phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" led to its more widespread use amongst his readers, although Goldberg had stopped using it by the time the phrase was gaining mainstream popularity post-9/11.
France opposed many U.S. positions and actions, in particular, the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[4] Some argue the phrase's success reflects aggression in the U.S. towards countries such as France who oppose the U.S. in international forums.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese-eating_surrend...
again lost on you is that our criticism was never direct against the Brits but against the French and Germans who were so in bed with Saddam, so complicit in the food for oil UN scandal, in invested in their own self interests that they preferred to let the Us and the Brits go it alone despite the 9/11 attacks. But after all the dirty work was done both France and Germany started to make nice to the US. Hey why not they wanted the chance to bid on those Iraqi oil contracts that the Itaqi Government was putting out.

Now you know what it feels like
How does it feel to us?
It feels fine.
This thread is submission #who cares in the long, long, series of poison pen letters from Pc25 to his country.
It is the equivalent of someone standing in the back of the cheering crowd and saying
- "that isn't a real victory,.Those aren'r real awards. Those aren't real cheers."
But as we all know, they are.
Obama made America proud on his world tour;
the world took note:
we have a strong and clever leader.
And we who worked to elect him, feel pride in that.
The rage of the small-minded,
manifest in this dim article,
its dim support,
- is a kind of chocolate mint,
on a little silver plate, provided to complete the banquet.
Okay, Pc25;
- but just one more.-

"Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block and, over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests of the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who wants to buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until President Pantywaist gets into his stride." -

I knew this was going to happen but I didn't think it would happen so fast. I cannot stand it when the U.S. Defense budget is cut and that's exactly what is happening. President Bush was in office not even nine months when the United States was attacked on 9/11. Additionally, President Bush had been trying since his first day in office to rebuild our military/defense after President Clinton had drastically slashed it. Doesn't anybody think and remember what's happened in the past when the United States let down the guard. There are countries on this earth who don't like the U.S. just because - there doesn't have to be a reason.

I must say I am very proud of what I have mostly read in the comments here today. American sticking up for America. The Media has been sugar coating this Presidency and making it look as if their is something wrong with the American People. Our imitation President is constantly putting the people of this country down. We have been and will always be the hope of the world because when tragedy occurs in other countries we are there to help out. What other country contributes so much. The world has now caught on to the new Hollywood production called Obamanism the Movie. Many people in our country rely

on factual news we don't get it because their are factions in this country that want a Communistic government even though it never has or can work due to it's philosophy. It just fails and if you do not believe me check the History books. The majority of the world powers use this system and if it is only to be part of the larger group that those in favor of such a regime for this country is interested in then don't push it on the American people. We know what works and what has made our country great. All we now hear is it is time to Sacrifice well maybe it is time Politicians Sacrifice. Kennedy who Obama wishes to emulate never took his salary why don't Obama set an example for the American people. You people that live and die with Obama ideas so be it but allow us to stick with what will keep us alive. Europe caught on quickly to the Obama fraud now it is time we see through the transparent Obama game plan. I'm proud of the real Americans.-

There is something wrong with America. The great thing is that in admitting there are things that can be improved -- they can be IMPROVED. The vast majority of Americans are sick of truthiness.

The Obama "team" came up with a logo for there plan. IT appeared to be a Sun rising on the American Flag. It was sold to us with the refreshment ideal of a soft drink. The truth is that now that we get up roll over and take a good look this morning, we see the logo as being what the agenda really is: The sun going down on the American Flag.
