The American Epoch is over. It ended on Obama’s watch

“Yes, we can,” they chanted in unison. To hear Barack Obama speak, or just to catch a glimpse of him, roughly 200,000 people had turned out that day, July 24, 2008, filling the broad, tree-lined avenue of Strasse des 17 Juni in Berlin’s glorious Tiergarten Park. It was an audience three times the size of any crowd Obama had drawn back in the United States. The election was still months away.

It was like a rock concert. As Obama seemed to float towards the podium on a sky-blue walkway beneath the red granite and sandstone Victory Column, the Siegessäule, with the Brandenburg Gate looming in the far distance, the chanting in German-accented English grew louder. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.

Obama had arrived in Germany in his campaign’s Boeing 757, filled with handlers and journalists. That same week, when Republican candidate John McCain arrived at an airport in New Hampshire, a single reporter was there to greet him in the arrivals lobby. Eight bloody years had passed since the Al Qaida atrocities of Sept. 11, 2001. Americans desperately wanted to be loved by the world, and everyone in the world seemed to love Obama.

When Obama won the presidency that November it was close to a landslide. Democrats took control of both houses of Congress. Obama was going to change the world. It was all about “hope and change.”

more delirious knee-pad material from an idiot.

MAGA!

Forget all of the fake news and hate Trump news this week.

There is a new great book for this great week co authored by our own LS!

How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution
Joel Pollak, Larry Schweikart
Kindle Edition

Read what really happened last year, with these two great writers.

For those of us, who endured all of the fake news and lies from both sides of our political nation about Trump. LS was a continuing source of comfort when the mediots lied about Trump with fake news or came out their endless fake polls showing Clinton winning.

If you really want to know How Trump Won, get this great book on Kindle or print.

I just got it on Kindle. You can try a chapter or so for free. I ordered the full book, before I finished the sample.

How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution
Joel Pollak, Larry Schweikart
Kindle Edition

Thanks to Larry and Joel for a great book.

MAGA!

"Unlike his loathed and uncouth Texan predecessor, Obama was an eloquent, reed-thin, 47-year-old African-American, the son of a Kenyan immigrant father who began life as a goatherder, and a mother whose forebears were European settlers in Kansas. He was a Harvard law graduate. He’d spent some of his childhood years in Indonesia. His middle name was Hussein. He was really cool."

Smirk. It's about as truthful and well-written as a Harlequin Romance. Who writes this swill?

Nope. Obama tried his hardest and had some very notable success. It's bad off, probably on life support but Donald Trump will revive it and expand it. That's what MAGA means!

[max americana]

Yup. Stupid kanadians. One anti-American epoch ends. One true American epoch begins.

“...200,000 people had turned out that day...”

It was a scheduled rock concert, with a free beer festival. Otherwise, 0bummer wouldn’t have drawn 15 pigeons.

Just pre-ordered on Amazon. Pre-ordered Roger Stone’s book too. Heard today that he was very ill over the holidays as a result of poisoning!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Just Canadians and Europeans whining that now they’re actually gonna have to pay for their own defense.

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks. Just downloaded it to my kindle app on my ipad.

[Grampa Dave]

Good move and prayers up for Roger!

I just saw an interview with Roger Stone and he said his doctors have told him it was polonium. Polonium is only available to state actors. Don’t know what to believe but it’s evident that he was very sick.

Mr. Glavin, in fact, the opposite of what you surmise may happen.

Why? Because while Europe collapses under the weight of African immigration, Africa falls into tribal warfare and South America collapses from too much dabbling with Socialism, the USA under Trump will rediscover what made the USA great--its manufacturing base--and will soon be a haven against insane geopolitics enveloping the world.

My wife just reminded me that I had to do a grocery run and to drop her off for a fun visit to her PT.:)

Before, I got totally into LS’s book.

I have it on my smart phone, new Kindle Fire Tab, Toshiba Win 10 laptop and my fav, my Acer Chrome book 15.

[rockrr]

LOL, read the comments (at the link). He has adoring fans for his swill ;’}

[AngelesCrestHighway]

It's over...THANK GOD!

[hal ogen]

The title of the article written by this pathetic lunatic should read: The American nightmare is over".

[Rapscallion]

As he left a couple hundred chanted, "No, he couldn't".

Amazing how far he has fallen.
