Obama Donor Picked for Ambassador to Norway Fumbles Basic Questions About Norway
Obama bundler raised $500,000 for the 2012 cycle. Obama's presidency has been built on lies, apparently his followers are good at it also.The next US ambassador to Norway, George Tsunis bundled $500,000 for President Obama in 2012, apparently knows nothing about Norway.
Questioned by Senator John McCain about the anti-immigration Progress Party, which has now joined the ruling coalition, Tsunis had no idea what McCain was talking about.
McCain asked for his thoughts; Tsunis replied, You get some fringe elements that have a a microphone and spew their hatred. And I will tell you Norway has been very quick to denounce them.
That is untrue. They are part of the ruling coalition, as McCain quickly pointed out.

Norway, isn’t that part of China?
He’s pining for the Fjords!
So a President that knows nothing about anything appoints a lackey that knows nothing about the job is appointed to perform. Shocking /S
Well! Good thing he wasn’t nominated by a Repub. Only Dem nominees are given passes for knowing next to nothing.
What is shows is absolute arrogance verging on stupidity.
Yes, we all know that big fund raisers get cushy ambassadorships in places like Norway, the Bahamas or Monoco. Obama certainly is the first to do it.
But to know you will appear before a Senate committee and not even bother to go to Google or Wikipedia, read a few articles about Norway, much less spend an hour to get a State Dept. briefing to learn some basics bout the key actors in Norway indicates a true arrogance and incompetence on the candidate - and those who appointed him.
No chessburger...Hamburger!
“No chessburger Hamburger!”
Bowel Burger Au Jus!
“Norway, isnt that part of China?”
No. Maybe in Obama’s world Norway is part of America’s 57 states.

I’ll bet career States are mortified.
Our media has all the credibility of Izvestia 1958.
“Hes pining for the Fjords!”
First jalopy on race day scores!
LOL! 57 states, but come on.. give the guy a break, he’s from Kenya!
It’s a tricky country. They speak Swedish there don’t they?
My guess is that the name Tsunis is Greek. Why not make him ambassador to Greece or Cyprus?
Or Tunisia? (It's almost spelled the same.) The Arab Spring started in Tunisia, so everything is hunky-dory there now...so Tsunis couldn't do any harm. Anyway all the Arabs love Obama because of his Cairo speech.
“E’s a Norwegian Blue, nice plumage”.
Great Sketch by MP.
They speak Scandinavian, silly.
Dripping with sarcasm, “highly qualified”, he looks away in disgust.
The fat load is an insult to Norway. Thanks p_resident ZERO, you have not disappointed me yet. Always being wrong is what I expected from you, the one who had no chance of being anything but a disaster. This is not racist, it is disgust with incompetence.
