SPIEGEL: While Europe slips to the right, the United States, under Barack Obama, is discovering the social market economy -- and is slipping to the left.

Garton Ash: Soon they'll be more European than we are.

SPIEGEL: How do you explain that?

Hussein 0bama is certainly not an American. He has no idea what it means to be an American.

The closest he is to being an American is being an “American Enemy”.

Obomba isn’t a European. He’s a Kenyan-African. Big difference.

"SPIEGEL: How do you explain that?

Widespread voter fraud and a corrupt media.

SPIEGEL: At least 15 percent of the new European parliament will consist of right-wing extremists, protest parties and joke parties. What does this mean for Europe's future?

Garton Ash: If I remember correctly, Bertolt Brecht said: "The womb is fertile still, which bore this fruit." We are deluding ourselves if we believe that the temptation of xenophobia and national populism no longer exists, and we shouldn't be surprised to see these forces being strengthened in the course of a major economic crisis.

It really irks me that the ENTIRE definition of "right-wing" has become: "the xenophobic nutcases". Given such a definition, of course everyone wants to be a left-winger. HMMPPPFF!

Obama is certainly a Marxist...of whatever nationality and origin.

And Cap & Trade (Read Cap & Tax), is a perfect example. It must go down. It is another marxist construct aimed squarely at the free market. Email, fax, call your represenntatives TODAY & demand they vote against this very bad legislation. Gotta go 2 for 2 on this & socialized health care.

Obama is looking to strip funding of crucial defense projects in order to fund his social agenda. He probably thinks Europe will come to our aid in the next war — that is, if there is still a Europe left.

First, voters apparently feel that the conservatives and liberals are more competent when it comes to economic policy.

Should the above actually say: First, voters apparently feel that the conservatives are more competent than liberals when it comes to economic policy. ??

Otherwise, I do not understand that statement at all.
