Krauts seem to have a thing for authoritarian narcissists.

Well, one place to save money (not that Obama really cares), is to withdraw all of our troops and close our bases in Europe.

Germans have always been attracted to men who give good speeches.

They luv him, they can have him. Or maybe they just luv the fact that Obama is trying to bring us to our knees?

Or they see O as facilitating the first sentence of the story.

The irony is that Germans wouldn't allow a jug-eared half-Kenyan bastard into a position of authority in their country in a million years.

No, I’m against that. Precisely what Germany wants. Obama may do that anyway, but for the pretense of “peace” more than anything.

Germany’s Europe rejects capitalism and under the Treaty of Lisbon has adopted instead “social market economy”. This is a form of fascism, a branch of socialism. So when Germans think that Obama’s electoral victory is something that leads the US towards further decline, are they telling us that they are ahead of us in economic decline?

"No, Im against that. Precisely what Germany wants. Obama may do that anyway, but for the pretense of peace more than anything."
Why not? With Obama in charge, we aren't going to do good anyway and the Europeans need to shoulder the costs of their own military defense, such as it is. Withdrawing is against the concept of the US as a superpower who guarantees world stability, but those days have passed with Dear Leader in charge. If anything, he is busy destabilizing countries and spreading the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists with US power.

Ich bin doch ein Blöd! For years, I had a plastic bag from Maxi-Mart in Böblingen that had a picture of a young woman on it that stated:
"Ich bin doch kein Blöd!"
Which translates to
"I'm sure no fool!"

Just because Pandora says she can handle the cost of keeping the box does not mean you leave her alone with it to open it.

Deep in the Germanic DNA there is a love of dictators and a desire to subjugate ‘inferiors’. Of course they would admire and support the Fuhrer’s student. He learned much from pre-WW2 Germany. Its a deep-rooted love of power and control.
To hell with em-—again.
