The Obama Disappointment

[Coito ergo sum]

In stark contrast to that of his presidential predecessors, Barack Obama’s message on Wednesday was pure mush, another clichéd “citizens of the world” polemic with little substance. This was a speech big on platitudes and hopeless idealism, while containing much that was counter-productive for the world’s superpower. Ultimately it was little more than a laundry list of Obama’s favourite liberal pet causes, including cutting nuclear weapons, warning about climate change, putting an end to all wars, shutting Guantanamo, ending global poverty, and backing the European Project. It was a combination of staggering naiveté, the appeasement of America’s enemies and strategic adversaries, and the championing of more big government solutions.

Obama is a disappointment to the world: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/ ... icies.html

So, how has Obama been a big disappointment?

He neither appoints nor disappoints me.

The "European Project" sounds sinister. Mind you, it probably is.

I said from the outset he was a man without substance, a walking cliché, a testament to muddle-headed, bleeding heart do-gooderism. I said he was inexperienced, incapable and far out of his depth. I said his policies were puerile, incoherent and unworkable. He certainly has not disappointed.

But... the rising of the oceans has slowed... and we have finally started to care for the sick and good jobs for the jobless. I mean, for Christ's sake, the planet has started to heal! And, clearly, we have restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth!

Thankfully, the US is now "the last, best hope on Earth?" Obama said so.

Don't forget that cheap health insurance.

It was a gaffe. A spoonerism. he meant, "the best last hope on Earth."

He didn't do the Gangnam Style horse dance in front of the cameras.

Yes, that must mean that Obama's speech in Germany was full of substance, and was resoundingly well-received.

No, it just means that some of your sources are funny. He's basically a Tea-bagger. Or is the origin of a commentary piece not relevant?

I think he just tea-bagged Obama

I linked more than one source, and if we simply dismissed the sources that were not our political allies, then nobody would listen to the other side's arguments, they'd just say "my team didn't say it, so I don't consider it." Well, I suppose that is what most people do, of course.
