.....aaaaaahhhh, the British have such a wonderful command of the English language. I do hope so, they invented it you know? I don't know how many pages it would take one of our best American writers to say so much, in so few words. (Whether you agree with this article or not, you have to agree that it is very cleverly written)
The Daily Mail (UK) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009 .
(Confirmation, Google " London Daily Mail Obama's Victory")
Obama's Victory--A British View
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.
A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.
Senator Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation.
A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
Congratulations America ! Your funeral will be sooner than you think!
As much as I hate to say this.. :-X the Brits may have this one... :-X..right.
They could do a bit to clean up their own shop too.
"A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation"
Seems to me they're beginning to realize that, diane.
The above article by the Daily Mail is an amazing piece of devine inspiration, predicting Obama's reign on the presidency. One thing I would add to it would be the "Art of Obama's Stupidity." Example:
Sen. John Ensign, R-Nevada, said it was "irresponsible" for President Obama to have been seen "laughing and joking" with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the Summit of the Americas on Friday. "This is a person who is one of the most anti-American leaders in the entire world and he is a brutal dictator and human rights violations are very, very prevalent in Venezuela. And you have to be careful. When you're talking about the prestige of the United States and the presidency of the United States, you have to be careful who you're seen joking around with," he also said.
Wonder if this is O's attempt at "meaningful conversation".
Imagine that two socialist laughing and having a good time....
People know their own people.
What really gets me about that whole thing is that nobama didn't once stand up for or defend america. Even Carter went at least that far.
