SEIG HOPENCHANGE
The Germans who contributed to Obama’s campaign and probably voted for him feel cheated. It seems another dishonest leader who made promises in Berlin has lied to them yet again:
Der Speigel: “Barack Obama cast himself as a “citizen of the world” when he delivered his well-received campaign speech in Berlin in the summer of 2008. But the US president has now betrayed this claim. In his Berlin speech, he was dishonest with Europe. Since then, Obama has neglected the single most important issue for an American president who likes to imagine himself as a world citizen, namely his country’s addiction to fossil fuels and the risks of unchecked climate change.”
As I often, say, “Alle Behauptungen von Barack Obama kommen mit einem Verfallsdatum. Alle.”
He would be happy to accommodate you, Hans, but he’s already found so many other ways to run our economy into the dirt you worship.
UPDATEN: Let’s switch gears from hammering Krauts to, umm, Krauthammer:
There have been ideological objections against this administration — it’s left-wing, it’s radical, and all that. But now we’re starting a new kind of meme, that it is an administration that really can’t get things done.
And when you have the president announcing, as he did in his address to the Congress — ‘Don’t worry about the tracking of the stimulus. It will be done by the vice president and nobody messes with Joe Biden’ …Well, it looks as if the folks in the 99th district of the Mariana Islands … are messing with Joe Biden.
Once the meme starts, it becomes the subject of late-night comedy. … When they speak seriously about this – 640,329 jobs saved, comical precision — and then it turns out a lot of these are fictional jobs in fictional districts, what happens is the administration, already satirized on “Saturday Night Live” as do-nothing, is now going to be seen as an administration that cannot even do nothing competently.
