"Islam Is The Only Future!!!"

The rest of the world fell as hard for Barack Obama as Americans did.
Back in 2008, the same qualities in the 47-year-old senator from Illinois that excited U.S. voters enthralled people around the globe. He was a fresh face and a compelling orator. He had spent his childhood in the Asia-Pacific, and his skin color alone made billions of people feel a connection with him. Perhaps most importantly, he was not George W. Bush, the president who invaded Iraq. Obama promised “hope” and “change” and people believed he could deliver—that he would end wars in Muslim countries, improve America’s standing on human rights, even alleviate global poverty. “Yes we can!” shouted The Age, an Australian newspaper, when he won office. Just months later, the rookie president was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, a nod more to his promise than to anything he had accomplished.
Obama’s overseas poll numbers were stratospheric in those early days. In countries like France and Germany, more than 90 percent of people surveyed by the Pew Research Center expressed confidence that Obama would “do the right thing regarding world affairs.” Even in some Middle Eastern countries, where U.S. presidents are rarely liked, nearly half of the populace had high expectations for Obama.
But peace did not arrive in Obama’s time. Obama’s standing in much of the world seemed to sag each year as he struggled to fulfill his promises. America, after all, still has troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the Middle East, revolutionary movements, including ones Obama overtly backed, have largely fizzled or bred violent anarchy. And Russia has ignored Obama’s warnings and asserted its influence in former Soviet states, sometimes at the point of a gun. Many saw in this picture a naive president and a United States of diminished standing.

Whatever you say, honey.
I knew from the beginning that he was a commie as well. I went to the Reading, PA fair in 2008 and saw the “Hope” poster for the first time and commented to my husband that it looked like an old Soviet Union poster. I couldn’t believe that anyone would see that poster and think anything else and wondered how the American people could fall for him. It just had that commie feel about it. How prescient that poster was!
Not surprising. Since Obama poster artist Shepard Fairy was, indeed, a Communist.
People are stupid no matter what language they speak.
An unknown, unknown becomes a known POS, the greatest unknown to the greatest POS in American history. Words and deeds. Content of character BUMP!
FUPOSOTUS
ESAD
Some may have bought into his line of crap. Most people I know did not.
They saw obama wearing pink headphones...... pink. Yeah pink.
"Islam Is The Only Future!!!"
From the first time I heard him speak, I knew he was “The Manchurian Candidate”.
When you promise the moon and the stars and can’t deliver a ham sandwich, you’re going to hear about it.
As for the morons that voted for this corndog, don’t say you weren’t warned.
People can only embrace so much failure.
His dog and little old ladies know that he’s a fairy.
