I had a date with Kobe once.

* whispering in her ear *

“After my election, I’ll have more flexibility.”

But at this very moment Brr Brr, under this $5000.00 suite, I beeez quite Inflexible …. If you know what I mean.

Heh. Great minds and all…

In the sampeah, “the higher the hands and the lower the bow, the more respect is shown.” …the ocular proof.

“In the novel, a Burmese journalist says “For some reason, the [American] people I meet in my country are not the same as the ones I knew in the United States. A mysterious change seems to come over Americans when they go to a foreign land. They isolate themselves socially. They live pretentiously. They’re loud and ostentatious.”

On his trip to Cambodia, a country he claimed didn’t deserve a visit due to its strongman government, first lady Bun Rany greeted Obama with a traditional “sampeah” pressed-hands greeting reserved for servants, a little dig that was probably lost on him but not to Asians.

So what is really Obama’s tour about? Apparently a get-out-of-town photo-op all about himself as a means of avoiding pressing problems back home. The Asians deserve better — and so do the Americans.

But he also undermined his supposed democracy mission, first by telling the Burmese leaders that he too wished he could govern without opposition, calling into question whether he himself believed in the representative government he was advocating.

It didn’t help that he ignored the real heroes who helped push Burma toward a more open system — President and Mrs. Bush, as well as Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, Sens. John McCain and Mitch McConnell, seeming to take credit for it himself.

“When a Democrat does it; it isn’t sexual assault, it is a blessing.”

And your delusion that this man is somehow “perfect” and can do no wrong because he was reelected is just as funny and ironic, douche bag. He and his VP are a walking, talking gaffomatic comedy team. I might start my own site just to carry the banner of OOTD.

And really, we’re just conditioned to respond in what we’ve been taught by your side is an appropriate level of discourse after seeing 8 years of George Bush being treated like a door mat.

Get ready for four more years of obamma’s incompetence and us pointing it out.

I love how Obummer being re-elected makes him even more brilliant, but apparently the same effect doesn’t apply to Bush.

global culture on his trip to Burma, er Myanmar, er, Burma

So does the media refer condescendingly to Burma’s other name as its “self-declared” name like they did to Israel’s ACTUAL capital of Jerusalem?
