Completely blowing a tough but easily anticipated question at a presser, now that’s amatuer hour stuff.

We could also look to the negative influences during Obama’s formative years, his unresolved “daddy” issues, and hhis malignant narcissism.

Too bad rounding up 300 military trainers from THE WHOLE OF EUROPE didn’t make the list.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It’s an interesting question. I had already formed relationships with many of them. … There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.

I bet he means Byzantine…but he’s made his historical ignorance a point of pride…so I guess all in all it makes sense.

He put pressure on them to allow elections and went to war against the Saudi’s expressed objections.

Arguably, this latter point is what caused the revolt of the state department against him.

So Obama is back to the norm I guess. He’s got more important countries to pick fights with. Like Britain.

Nuff said.

The balls of donkey shit that roll out of your mouth make it impossible to understand a word you say. Although they do sound suspiciously like the same balls of shit the DTMH spews. You must be following behind him and gobbling up his left overs and regurgitating them.

Even if we put aside what an insult it is to Americans to see the President bow to King, what about the rest of the world the left crows about?

Obama is adored in Africa. What will the site of the First “Black” President, nominally a Christian, BOWING to an Arab Muslim king do for them? What hope does a child in Darfur take from that? Will the Arabs slaughtering by the millions in Africa be emboldened by such a sight? Bet on it.
Whatever hope Africans got from Obama just went out the window.

And where is the outrage of the Black Press and Professors in the US? What does Cornell West think of the site of the Black President bowing to a Caucasian?

Q Sonja Sagmeister from a little country, Austria, from Austrian Television. Mr. President, you said you came here to learn and to listen. So a quite personal question — what did you learn from your personal talk with the European leaders? And did this change in a certain way your views on Europe and its politics?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It’s an interesting question. I had already formed relationships with many of them. … There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.

Call it muslim-to-muslim multi-tasking!

They’re all bad, of course. The last one was pretty darn bad, and would win in any other week. But this week, there can be only on…

So did I. The blowing totally irritates me and I dont think it was an obamateurism. He knew what he was doing, imo.

Blowing OR bowing, I agree. I also think he meant to insult the UK with his lame gifts and disrespect for protocol. His administration is definitely incompetent but some of the idiotic moves aren’t accidents.

oops…I meant bowing. hahhaa

Had it right the first time.

I still think Clinton’s dog being washed facial expression while The One is speaking is priceless!!!

Hee hee, love it!
You mean that look he gets like he just forgot his own name?

Is it too early for a drink?

Is it ever to early for a drink?
NEVAH!!!!!!!
Especially with BO “in charge”.

I used to laugh at Getalife when he acted as an Obama apologist. I’m not laughing now that he’s decided to take Kim Jong-Il on as a client. And the fact that Getalife apparently likes to defend both implies that both of them have more in common than just Getalife.

Ed Morrissey on April 5, 2009 at 1:31 PM

Ed swings the trollbat. Booyah.

Getalife, get. a. life. And a clue.

Thanks for putting our state of Hawaii under Kim Jongil’s target range, Obama. But we’re just some small state in the middle of the Pacific. It’s not like you grew up here or anything. Everyone says you are from Illinois like Lincoln.

He spoke of a “nuclear free world in Spain today” while concurrently the N. Koreans time a big rod up his fine ars, to absolute perfection. He can go to hell, while our land is becoming as mediocre as all the others. They ‘love’ us for it.

Clue is indignant.

He’s all fluff and no substance. Mrs. Thatcher had steelier balls than this prima donna of a feather we’ve got prancing around. Was, is, and always will be a pathological narcissistic cipher, at our cost. We are the fools, most of all the Republicans/conservatives who put him over the top.

What he said in Europe against his countrymen was not only disgusting, but was a first for a sitting CiC on foreign soil.

Bill Clinton is a mensch compared to this Arschloch.
