Obamateurism of the Day

Presumptuous Obama addresses Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as any other “stinkard groundling” from India. Leave it to Obama to bankrupt American goodwill along with any unity we have as a people, let alone any unity we have with our allies from the homelands of so many hyphenated-American citizens and LEGAL residents.

I was reminded of a quote from a famous Elizabethan author named Ben Jonson. Jonson, a contemporary of Shakespeare and famous poet/author in his own right, used to look down from his luxury box at the Globe Theatre in London with derision when confronted with the cheers and roars of the commoners as they watched Shakespeare’s plays unfold. He sneered at the “foamy praise that drops from common jaws” as the groundlings would cheer the sword fights of Hamlet or the saucy behavior of Falstaff.

Now for those who don’t know, the groundlings were the craftsmen and apprentices who occupied the “cheap seats” in the Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare’s plays debuted almost four hundred years ago. Basically, they were the butchers, the bakers, and the candlestick-makers.

These blue-collar types packed themselves shoulder to shoulder, spending almost ten percent of their daily wages to watch three-hour-long plays, often in the scorching summer sun. The groundlings of old (or as Jonson’s ilk would call them on those unusually hot days, “the stinkards”) are what we call today…. And they are met with the same derision today as they were nearly four centuries ago.

Joseph Hatch @ American Thinker

Obama faces authentic intelligentsia from India representing historic perspective that predates his precious Far East Asian model, Red China. Ever the stupid racist, Obama mistreats his honored guest, a highly distinguished intellectual from a ruling caste who trumps, with common courtesy from India, Obama’s bungling personal superiority complex.

Hear the Marxist Ivy rumble: Shut up and get back in line as the peasant we’d have you be.

INDIA would be our most significant global ally this new century if America gave India due respect.

Obama is The Ugly American: American Global Arrogance and Failure.

And Obama did it all himself, playing the juvenile opposite game against Bush. Can’t blame Bush for insulting India. “Reset”/overcharge GOLD.

And while the One was dazzling the Indian PM with hiz brilliance, India was doing this.

Could this be Obama’s financial “Pearl Harbor?”

Bernanke just got punked. Again.

What happens next, aside from full blown gold mania/panic, is anyone’s guess. However, one thing that is becoming certain, is that Bernanke, in the immortal phrase coined by Snatch, is now proper f*cked.
