News Conference By President Obama (Thinks Austrian is a language!!!)
Talking Points Memo/White House ^ | April 3 | Obama

Posted on 04/05/2009 2:16:20 PM PDT by PghBaldy

Q Sonja Sagmeister from a little country, Austria, from Austrian Television. Mr. President, you said you came here to learn and to listen. So a quite personal question -- what did you learn from your personal talk with the European leaders? And did this change in a certain way your views on Europe and its politics?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It's an interesting question. I had already formed relationships with many of them. ... There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing -- and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.

Thank you for the reply, I greatly appreciate it...

I really wish I had learned more about my relatives and their native language when my Mother was alive (we probably all feel that way though about some things when we lose a loved one)

I was only 24 when she passed away, and I had 3 young children, and she lived out-of-state, so time seemed to really slip away. Too many questions unasked...). I know her father came to the US before WWI and my Mom was born in 1939. I kind of got the feeling that with the outbreak of WWII her parents rarely spoke German except when with friends... I can definitely understand why they would make that choice.

You’d figure little Hitler would know something about German, eh?

Maybe he should have asked the Queen to explain The Sound of Music to him since she loves showtunes so much.

Ahh, He’s a goof-butt, but he’s our little goof-butt.

Very neat! Thank you so much. I’m pretty sure what she said was “Guten Abend”. With an accent and sliding the words together almost, I can see how that could sound like “Gutten Noggin” to me!

I LOVE Brahm’s Lullaby. I actually sang a few songs in German during my High School voice lessons... Let me tell you — that’s not so easy for someone who speaks English! LOL

My favorite German song to sing is Mozart’s Wiegenlied (”Schlafe mein Prinzchen”).

Thanks again for all the information you’ve shared with me. Through this conversation I’ve remembered a lot of things about my Mom, and that’s always really nice... :)

It may border on a new version of BDS, but maybe we should start readying the bumper stickers:

"He may be YOUR President, but he sure isn't MINE"

Why, thanks. I hope it sticks. Every time I see Obama on TV(which isn’t often, since I avoid it like the plague), I immediately think “President Clueless”. It suits him perfectly.

" I don't know what the term is in Austrian,"

If Bush had ever said anything this stupid, it would have led the news.

Hmmmm...does May 23, 2006 ...George W. Bush... Greek and Grecian...jog any memory cord??

It's all the headlines addressed for days in the time period.

Hypocrisy, double standards, biased, selective revisionist memories, enablers/apologists...we should all be used to these reporting manipulations by now.

I didn't see it so I don't know if TOTUS was there or not but I do know that our POTUS seems never to miss a chance to denigrate the USA and ingratiate himself with all the wrong people - most importantly with China on this trip - setting them up in the IMF to replace our dollar with a "basket of currencies" - lookout USA!

Oh wait ... then there's the nuclear disarm tact - while ignoring that every ME nation wants all of a sudden to get nuclear power, NK, Iran, proceed without effective sanction, we should just dump ours. NK went 8 years fooling x42 - uhbama will be even less a challenge. ARRRRRRRGH! :-(

German is the official language of Austria. Why can't English be our official language? It seems like the majority of the countries in the world have an official language.

As far as Obama's ignorance, he is appearing more like an incompetent communist. I can't say those behind the throne are but maybe, just maybe they are victims of their own role in destroying the educational system.

The other one I picked up the other day for Obama:

“The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers”! ROFL
