Video: France has got a fee-vah and the only prescription is more Obama

I’m giving you the French and Spanish versions but there’s a page full of crap like this from all corners of Europe at CNN. Just click, choose “By Section” at the bottom, and then select “World.” The Spain video at least comes from a Democrats Abroad party; with France, I think they’re all locals getting a collective Matthews leg thrill at the thought of an end to simplisme. Sarkozy himself says he’s eager for The One to start “changing the world.” Read this and see, for all their orgasmic shrieking, how eager Europeans are to help him do it. “His very name [is] opening doors, as did his speech, to the rest of the world,” Obama mega-shill Andrea Mitchell assures us. Let me know when we see anything tangible by way of results.
And if you think the Israeli reaction might be more sober and cautious, think again.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

The world is going to be mighty dissapointed.
BadgerHawk on January 21, 2009 at 1:58 PM
They all want America to be just as miserable as they are.
kingsjester on January 21, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Holy crap. Obama’s pedestal has gotten so high it just poked a new crater in the moon (where the moon-people adore him too, I’m sure). It’s gonna be one massive, impressive, destructive, and Earth-shattering fall when it comes. No one can live up to these expectations. Don’t his worshippers realize they’re setting him up for one of the most massive failures perhaps in the history of the world?
aero on January 21, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Haven’t they been doing this for the past year or so already?
Esthier on January 21, 2009 at 2:00 PM
I am very upset.
The Magic Rainbows have yet to deliver my gold-farting Unicorn.
I was up early, as promised and have looked everywhere.
Not even a ‘Sorry we missed you!’ note.
I begin to suspect that not all of the promises made are going to be kept.
I suspect the rest of the world will eventually figure that out too.
KCSteve on January 21, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Now that`s my Hope. :)

PISS ON FRANCE.
My gratitude to France ended when they helped us shoot Redcoats.

What about Germany? Will Hasselhof be de-throned?

Obama is great!
Where do I send my mortgage and all my bills?
Has anyone heard yet?
Firebird on January 21, 2009 at 2:03 PM
I cannot even get worked up about this. I lost my faith in the fact that there is intelligent life on this planet when everyone hopped aboard the global warming train. I’d welcome an alien invasion at this point.

Nothing more satisfying for the little dogs than watching the big dog getting taken down a few pegs.
Obama is the solution to bring complete mediocrity to the USA while endangering the security, economy and military. A Democratic leadership hat trick cinches the downfall.
Hening on January 21, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Talking about erratic and hypocritcial, the Erratic Andrew Sullivan!

FYI
There is a authentic French military rifle on ebay…good news, it has never been fired and was only dropped once/

FIND A LIBERAL AND NAG HIM FOR YOUR UNICORN UNTIL THE SPACESHIP ARRIVES.
seejanemom on January 21, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Sully speaks French and loves his Obama so it is okay to post it here.
Mr. Joe on January 21, 2009 at 2:07 PM
allah you really need to bend over for obama
ousoonerfan15 on January 21, 2009 at 2:07 PM
I think the plan might be for us to pay our bills with photocopied money. It’s as real as the money the government is inventing for this Bailoutpalooza we’re in. If the government can spend fake money, why can’t we? That’s how you handle being broke, it would seem.
aero on January 21, 2009 at 2:07 PM
This is vomit-inducing dribble. Europe loves that we are now at their level.
jencab on January 21, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Thanks for the head-up…
I’ll pass on the vid.
With all the hype over Barry, when people wake up- will they flock to the closest bridge, roof top, or blame Bush?

Say it with me: Icarus
Vashta.Nerada on January 21, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Well we all know how smart the French are. All one has to do is look at how they conned Jefferson into the Louisiana Purchase.
Limerick on January 21, 2009 at 2:09 PM
Ooh. Someone design a trillion dollar bill with Obama’s likeness on it (he’ll love it — he’s always wanted to be on currency). We’ll all use it to pay the IRS in April. Think that’d get the message across?
aero on January 21, 2009 at 2:09 PM
I really hope they just jump off.
GASP! Did I just commit a hate crime?!
Badger40 on January 21, 2009 at 2:12 PM
Exactly. I wonder if Obama will notice the wax melting in his wings, or if his famous confidence will him to completely wipe the possibility of falling from his mind?
aero on January 21, 2009 at 2:12 PM
I wrote a piece a while ago, that showed up in a couple of different places (here’s one) commenting on the European hypocrisy in their reaction to America’s choice of a black man as our president. It was predictably blasted by thick-headed Europeans.
There are many progressive elements of the European populace, and the European people have certainly evolved beyond the divisions of race, although pockets of friction still do exist in many places, sometimes for understandable reason. But the highest levels of government are still exclusive to white elites. Americans can finally fight back against European condescension by passing the baton to them to make similar symbolic elections of minorities. My guess is that no such elections will take place in the near future.
bryanmyrick on January 21, 2009 at 2:19 PM
This is such BS propaganda. You can find people in all these places that feel this way about Bush, but the media would never show video of that.
I loath the scarecrow fromerly known as Andrea Mitchel
VolMagic on January 21, 2009 at 2:22 PM
Now we are going DOWN to France’s level……..check please!!
grapeknutz on January 21, 2009 at 2:24 PM
And stinky cheese and surrender. Yes, they have a feevah for surrender.
Who cares?
HornetSting on January 21, 2009 at 2:25 PM
The honeymoon will be over in a week…right?
right2bright on January 21, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Nice piece…
right2bright on January 21, 2009 at 2:28 PM
Nah, this is just like when Clinton took office back in ‘92…
The Europeans were all over themselves about how America (in one night no less) had retaken its standing in the world for a neeeewww day.)
Barf.
Skywise on January 21, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Thank you.

Meh. They loved all Murkins starting mid morning 9-11-01 and ending shortly thereafter.
Rinse, repeat.
Stephen M on January 21, 2009 at 2:47 PM
It’s really cool if you play both of the clips at the same time with Rush Limbaugh talking in the background!
Feevahlishus!

Right on both points! How can we forget Fleetwood Mac and “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow”! Unfortunately, Bubba was busy fantasizing about all the female interns he would

I pray that the few conservative Europeans immigrate before destruction by the Muslim hordes. The leftist ones who brought this day can die in a fire.
Speedwagon82 on January 21, 2009 at 2:53 PM
It’s amazing how much the world losers invest in our politics, our culture, our racial relations, etc., instead of working on their damn own.
Let me repeat it again: They are L-O-S-E-R-S.
Blake on January 21, 2009 at 2:53 PM
I didn’t read or hear much about the coronation, but because of those moments I had to empty my bucket 3 times, so you can understand why there was no media watching at my house.
I was compelled to hide out in 2 conservachatrooms yesterday, trying to ‘ease the pain’. I would have done better by installing the punching bag I got for Christmas, and using it.
Whateva, wallowing in grief over the loss of our nation will not help anyone, especially me. It’s hiking time…
Christine on January 21, 2009 at 2:54 PM
After 8 years of this crap, we will then get to put with him as UN Secretary General/Emperor of Earth.
Grafted on January 21, 2009 at 2:55 PM
Oh, I forgot. France can kiss my grits.
Actually, the countries of Europe (and The World) can make an orderly line, just behind France. Thank You.
Christine on January 21, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Haven’t heard, but here in Colorado it’s like 70° today, so the snow will be melting and the seas will be ris…oh wait…
kirkill on January 21, 2009 at 3:04 PM
This just in, Obama has ordered that all US currency currenty inscribed with “IN GOD WE TRUST” be replaced with “Enshala.”
Leaders of France, Germany, Spain are ecstatic.
DamnYankee on January 21, 2009 at 3:05 PM
CULT!
Suppose this becomes a permanent, world wide cult?
They have caused havoc in history.
I HOPE this is just like the Clintons, or the magnitude of our problem may CHANGE.
IlikedAUH2O on January 21, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Doncha know that’s how socialism works? Since you can’t make everyone rich, make everyone poor. Instant equality!
Kafir on January 21, 2009 at 3:10 PM
I once had an honest and open conversation on politics with a client/friend from Europe.
It started out with him complaining that the U.S. was a bully and that they forced other countries (like The Netherlands, where he was from) to do things against their best interest simply because it was in the U.S.’s best interest.
When it was all said and done, I was able to get him to admit that his complaint isn’t with one country having the power to make others do what is in their interest, his complaint was that his country wasn’t the country with the power.
It was some refreshing honesty.
He then said, “Well, don’t complain when the people in my country do their best to bring yours down so we can be on top.”
I laughed and said, “And don’t be surprised when we try to stop you. By the way, if you ever do manage to bring us down, do you honestly think The Netherlands are next in line? I’d say it’s China or Russia that will step up to the plate. Hope you enjoy living in that world.”
The rest of the lunch was thoughtful silence. He never mocked George Bush to me again (not saying I changed his mind towards Bush, but, at least he knew where/why I stood).
JadeNYU on January 21, 2009 at 3:11 PM
one wonders how long Sarkozy can keep it up now…
kirkill on January 21, 2009 at 3:11 PM
JadeNYU on January 21, 2009 at 3:11 PM
Well put, mostly it’s ignorance that makes people hate America.
Like, where is that coup that was supposed to make Bush POTUS for life?
kirkill on January 21, 2009 at 3:14 PM
They’ve been hoodwinked, all of them. This man has done nothing of substance that I know of besides try and organize a neighborhood that to this day doesn’t look all that organized. Unfortunately, the men most susceptible to failure are the ones we expect the most from.

Michael savage said
Liberalism is a mental disorder..
Now when he stated this i thought it was a cute title for his book..
But i never ever really believed it was TRUE..
Now i have seen the proof..
Liberalism isnt just a mental disorder.
Liberalism is leading all the world into
Communism or islamism..
either way ..
we as a nation as a people and as a country
are so hosed..
jcila on January 21, 2009 at 3:59 PM
This is also dangerous in that the more a man believes his own hype, (compliments of his own MSM) the cockier he gets. And that’s when a man goes off and does something half cocked. I’m hoping Obama is smarter than these minions and that he’ll keep a level head with two feet on the ground.
scalleywag on January 21, 2009 at 4:05 PM
Zing!
scalleywag on January 21, 2009 at 4:06 PM
The paparazzi President is going to need to keep these videos after he actually starts having to make decisions,because all this hero worship will dissipate in a quick hurry.
History proves this:
Hating America

Description
Remember,they were already burning pictures and effigy’s of Obama in Iran and many Arab countries are already upset because he did not come out against Israel.
This adoration will start to plunge when he actually starts having to take positions and make decisions that will be good for America,but bad for other countries.
This is the guy that wanted to gut NAFTA afterall,and snubbed his nose at the latin free trade agreement.
Baxter Greene on January 21, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Cool. I’m going to Paris soon. I’m gonna milk my American accent while I still can!
misslizzi on January 21, 2009 at 4:37 PM
will they be so kind when he shits the bed? I got a newsflash for you lovebirds over there on the left:
The rest of the world isn;t as worried about political correctness as us simple americans. When he pisses them off, his blackness will be an issue…I’m just sayin’….
wildweasel on January 21, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Guys:
Let’s wait until The O man ask for something solid like troops and let’s watch the European retreat in reverse fast backpedaling.
I plan to pee myself laughing.
El Coqui on January 21, 2009 at 5:27 PM
Obama needs troops? For what, a war on Christians, perhaps?
Because you can kiss that war on terrpr thing goodbye. He’ll NEVER ask for troops for that.
wildweasel on January 21, 2009 at 8:57 PM
If the filthy french are foaming at the mouth for The Jack *** then they can have him for their leader. He would fit in better there.
sheebe on January 21, 2009 at 10:28 PM
You are right. Savage does hit things on the head. This is why we must stick together. Inform each other. Things will get violent. We have to be ready. I am not giving my Freedom up to any communism, or Islamic’s. Not going to happen.
sheebe on January 21, 2009 at 10:31 PM
I predict this Newfound Euro love for Obama ends some time between next Tuesday and next Friday.
