Many suspect Obama is extremely ignorant of foreign affairs and history.

Either a pineapple fell on his head as a child, or he grew up thinking the Muslims have it right. The Disney version of his childhood we get still puts him way outside mainstream America as we all know it.

Many suspect Obama is extremely ignorant of foreign affairs and history. I wonder if he could tell us Istanbul’s oringal name, or the origins of the croissant (aka ‘crescent roll’)? Or what the main plot line of Mozart’s “Abduction from the Serail” is about?

But who is counting…..

They are uninformed in world events. They don’t know countries are going bankrupt, economies have been stagnant for decades, unemployment is through the roof and entitlement programs are crumbling. Europe may or may not even be seen through the eyes of a tourist. They don’t speak the language, read the news, understand “la crise” and “le chaumage” but can order a cafe au lait from a “garcon” (which means “boy” :P). They think debt slavery is glamorous, because Europe has been propped up by our economy until now.

Can you and your friend find less vulgar ways to express your opinion? Even with the bleeping and euphemisms, we still know what you’re saying.

Pardon my French, but Barack Obama can KISS MY RINGPIECE

To the voting people of the USA: NO MORE POINTY HEADED IVY LEAGUERS!

Remember, he is a lawyer. That, and Education, anchor the bottom of the barrel of things one can do at an Ivy league school. (Most of the Politically Correct XYZ Studies programs are down there too.)

Pardon my French, but Barack Obama can KISS MY RINGPIECE AND FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Amazingly , I think it’s the same terms in Austrian.

Der Spiegel tells what the American MSM probably isn’t telling: that Obama’s trip to Europe wasn’t so great at all. This is also because he called for admitting Turkey to the EU (H/T: Hot Air):…

Could someone tell that pompous (no offense to Rush) tool that the THIRD language spoken in the world actually is Spanish?

Update: Yes, this has been the position of the US for a while, at least since 2006. Notice that George Bush managed to voice it in a manner that didn’t tick off our allies and demonstrate American arrogance? I guess Bush was just more adept at ________ than the new guy.

FITB. -> Fill in the blank.

I’m in the UK. That means I’m part of the EU. Most of us in the UK dislike the EU because it is a corrupt, foolish coalition loosely bound together by completely fabricated ‘values.’ In the current economic crisis its beginning to unravel poltically and financially, and some of us are quite pleased it is. Count me as one of them.

Turkey is as far removed from the history and culture of Europe as I can think. They are Muslim, they have committed appalling atrocities that they have even now failed to acknowledge, and up until recently torture and oppression were commonplace. Furthermore, a rising tide of Islamic politics is building up in Turkey, threatening to replace its current uneasy secular political landscape.

Question for Obama: why in God’s name would anyone want to attach themeselves to an Islamic timebomb such as Turkey? Let me put it another way: would you want Turkey as a new state of America, where the residents could move freely into the US unchallenged and without inhibition? Because that is exactly what membership of the EU would provide them with. Members of the EU can move to any country in its artificial borders and take up work anywhere, claim benefits anywhere, without being able to remove them or deport them. In effect, they become your ‘citizens,’ and if they happen to be murderous Islamists there is nothing you can do about it. Also, you can’t stop them from entering if they are known criminals or rapists or murderers. Open borders between the EU nations is sacrosanct.

Pardon my French, but Barack Obama can KISS MY RINGPIECE AND FUCK RIGHT OFF.

“Turkey is bound to Europe by more than bridges over the Bosporus,” Obama told the Turkish parliament on Monday.

No , Sherlock…there’s that whole European section of Turkey on the other side of those bridges.

Obamateurism?

But we will let the Europeans do it on terms acceptable to them while encouraging all parties to work on this problem and keep a positive attitude.
