Look what this German news paper story said about Obama.
The Prager Zeitung is a German newspaper in the Czech Republic issued weekly in Prague. It is the largest non-Czech newspaper published in the Czech Republic .
This quote was translated into English an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010 .
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.”
“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool.
It is less likely to survive a multitude of (fill in the blank)
Problem is, 0bomba isn’t just a fool. A fool he may be, but he is acting not as a fool but as a destroyer. The “stimulus” money is going to unions for doing their dirty deeds and enriching covert crap no doubt.

Finally, I do not understand how it can possibly be that conservative writers are still addressing Obama as if he is actually trying to help the economy, but his well-intentioned policies are failing.
Obama is the enemy. Obama is a Marxist-Communist usurper and puppet front for a cabal of Marxist-Communists who are actively trying to destroy the United States of America. Everything they have done, are doing, and will do has the single goal of collapsing and destroying the U.S. economy, military, constitutional government and culture. What part of “Marxist Revolution” do you not understand?
The Obama regime is not a failure. The Obama regime is not incompetent. The Obama regime has achieved more in two and a half years than anyone could have possibly foreseen. It has debased the currency by 50% of the GDP and guaranteed that our economy will collapse. It has looted the Treasury for more than the size of a top-ten economy and embezzled that wealth into the hands of their fellow Marxists in preparation for the final collapse of the United States. It has ground the economy of the United States to a screeching halt. It has destabilized the entire Muslim world and ensured that there will be a nuclear war centered around Israel within the decade.
Thanks for reposting that quote. It’s a hall-of-famer! Was wondering how it ended up in a German periodical in Prague. Did a search and found that it was posted three months earlier on a Reuters forum concerning Soros and the annual Davos meeting of economic big-shots. That posting was entered in quotes by a certain ‘O2BINTEXAS.’ The original post and ensuing thread can be read here: http://mobile.reuters.com/article/comments/idUSLDE60Q23H20100127?page=24&irpc=932
The quote seems to be a riff based on a declaration of Cicero’s, which is quoted later in the same comment thread. That quote reads,
“Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. … Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the ‘new, wonderful good society’ which shall now be Rome’s, interpreted to mean ‘more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.’” –Roman statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) .” CopyKatnj was the name of the poster of the Cicero quote.

Anyway, just FYI. I like tracking down original sources of these sayings. If anyone knows of an earlier appearance of the first quote from O2BINTEXAS, I’m all ears.
