Some Europeans Fearful of Obama Presidency
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | 28 June 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 07/02/2008 3:20:18 PM PDT by John Semmens

Some European officials, speaking under conditions of anonymity, are expressing concerns that Senator Obama may become the next U.S. president.

“It’s not that we don’t like Obama on a personal level,” said one source. “He is a lot like us, but that is a cause for worry. We have always counted on America. America saved us from Hitler. America deterred the Red Army from marching into Western Europe. America was there to ward off the bullies who picked on us.”

“Maybe having a gauche ‘cowboy America’ to rely on is a crutch we don’t really want to part with,” said a second source. “I mean, Senator Obama is suave, erudite and nuanced—we love that about him—but is he going to stand up for us when push comes to shove? The ‘audacity of hope’ is a fine phrase, but it doesn’t give us much confidence that he will be there when we need help.”

If Obama is elected, people around the world will miss George Bush. They will be scared to death.

That’s cute. Europe is admitting that it still needs our help. Maybe they’re waking up to the fact that they’ve been overrun by Muslims who have no desire to integrate into western life.

Jihad will run rampant across the globe.

A dhimmi dimwit will be in charge of the only nation that stood in their path.

Your statement is very true. Several years ago when Bush was running for his second term, there was a pastor’s conference held in S. California. One of the pastors who spoke at this conference was a man from Uzbekistan. A senior pastor from a church in S. CA sent an email to some pastors with a transcript of the conference, including the words spoken by the Uzbeki pastor.

This man told the audience that Christians in Uzbekistan were fervently praying for Bush to win reelection. They said that after he came to office some things got better for them because those that wish to do evil ARE afraid of him because he doesn’t mess around and they knew they might suffer if Kerry were to be elected.

Well..... I got this email sent as a forward. You know, one of those forwards that go around the earth a few times. I was skeptical so I emailed the pastor himself. It took a while and he confirmed the story and added his own comments. However, what he also said was that when he emailed his friends the transcript he had no idea that they would in turn mail a few friends and that it would exponentially be mailed out to millions upon millions of people. He had to change his email because he was getting inundated.

I know this is a long story but it is good evidence that many in this world, I among them, will be scared if Obama is elected. While I have faith in the Lord, that doesn’t mean I want to suffer anymore than the next guy.

Ha,ha, good one John. But I’ll bet there are more than a few American-hating Euros who are quaking at the thought of Obama at the controls.

Thanks . I truly believe Satan is behind this. Sanity has taken a back seat.

What could America possibly do for Europe regarding their Muslim problem? It is up to the Euroweenies to solve it one way or another. We have our own problem to solve with them as soon as there are enough here who wake up to recognize the Muslim problem.

The really ironic thing is that there is almost a love/hate relationship between Europe and the USA. We visit, vacation and tour the 'mother' countries, we like the art and the foods, but a lot of us make fun of Euro boyz (especially the French) for being really bad warriors, limp wristed and socialist experiments.

The Europeans make fun of us for being neanderthal knuckle draggers but love it when we can fight and thank the God they deny when we bail their a$$es out.

I think biologists call this symbiosis or mutualism.

Ooh boy. I have been having this conversation over and over lately. Satan is really on the warpath these days.

Irrational fears.

Obama is going to tank big time before November.

And we have plenty of guns. And plenty of people anxious to use them when the time comes.

I agree to the extent that “The Power’s That Be” won’t allow him near the White House.

“He is a lot like us, but that is a cause for worry. We have always counted on America. America saved us from Hitler. America deterred the Red Army from marching into Western Europe. America was there to ward off the bullies who picked on us.” So life goes on in Europe while they count on our American sons and daughters to save them when trouble arises. In the meantime they bash us and our current President. Heres a message for Europe...many of us are worried too. If Obama becomes president we'll be living like you do now and having seen it, I for one KNOW I do not want that.

Don’t bet on it. Obama has a fervent fan base. His fan...er...supporters will get out the vote in droves come November. On the other hand, those of us who will vote for McCain will do so in a less rabidly enthusiastic manner.

The article does not mention who these Europeans are. Are they from eastern Europe? Do they hold positions of power? Who are these people?

Judging by the whoopla in Scotland today I would say you are right..the big deal there is the Muslims are hacked off that there is a postcard going around to announce something or other that has a puppy and a police cap on it. The Muslims in Tayside in Dundee are having a fit saying they are insulted. The Police said there was not an intention to insult anyone..hells bells the reply should have been..Muslims you are in Scotland,,UK and you will adapt to OUR ways or get thee out. The Aussies have it just right..fall in or fall out and return to your sandpile.
