Obama manly talk backfires: 'Punching above weight' rhetoric spread across Europe

A Danish TV show host says Obama used a boxing metaphor about the country of Denmark, and then turned around and used it for Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, Ireland, and the Philippines as well – all while speaking to heads of state or leading government officials – and all in front of a rolling camera. Obama is a loose cannon. Even if this recurring theme is scripted, Obama knows he has used the phrase previously when speaking to a head of state. Undignified. Embarrassing for this country.
