Ouch..that’s gonna leave a mark on the backside of the American left.

Excellent article!

The dems big government is unsustainable and its mounting debt are unsustainable. They are shackles upon all Americans that once applied will be very difficult to remove.

[okie01]

The net result of all this is that America is becoming as self-righteous, self-centered, and prissy as its president is himself.

As the London Telegraph styles The One: President Pantywaist.

Prissy? Self centered? Self indulgent? He can't possibly be talking about Obama. No way.

Neo of neoneocon/blog says: Obama’s errors are not random; they fit a certain pattern:

(1) glorification of other cultures and countries at the expense of the US

(2) exaggeration of the negatives about the US and downplaying of our strengths

(3) negative point of view about military endeavors

(4) exaggeration and/or imagining the role cooperation and negotiation plays, particularly with tyrants and enemies

(5) assuming the carrot of negotiation and dialogue is enough to change tyrants and enemies without the stick

400 to 500 million Chinese — most of them without much access to even rudimentary medicine, doctors, and hospitals — will be working overtime to loan Americans enough money to ensure universal access to hip replacements, gastric bypasses, and flu shots.

This needs to be shouted in the faces of liberals all over the world! And you're right - excellent article.

Heh, I don’t know, I’ll have a look for it on the net.

What really strikes me about the Obama/ judo picture is that you can see all sorts of other men standing around as men do, but Obama just looks soo, well...it’s quite clear who wears the pants in that family.

In obsequious fashion, we have sought to assure the Russians that we won’t deploy anti-ballistic missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic.

"Obsequious, what is that?" "It means you had a well known Mafia leader in your office and you kissed him on the ass" dialogue from the movie "The Big Easy" and it just fits here, life imitating movies

“Prissy.” That’s perfect! Prissy and self-righteous.

[Tax-chick]

How can that be, given Obama’s well-known apologies ...

Because "apologizing" for (what you perceive as) other people's sins and errors is pure grandstanding, "Look how much better I am than anyone else!" and we all know it.

>I>Obama is conflicted over Hiroshima, but not so much over the millions of Chinese, Koreans, Australians, British, and Americans who were slaughtered by the legions of the Co-Prosperity Sphere — and were desperate to find a way to stop Japanese militarism.

The point is this: When Obama takes it upon himself to adjudicate, in quite ahistorical fashion, who is culpable and who not, the resulting verdicts are consistent only in terms of the president’s own Chicago-style race/class/gender politics.

Insightful!
