I was thinking of a different German word to describe this.

Without question, Europeans wished BO's agenda on this country out of sheer love and goodwill.
Remember, he is the guy that couldn't/wouldn't make a decision about 40K troops in Afghanistan. He agonized for months over the number then approved only 75% of what is commanding general asked for.
The other 10K he kept back he immediately threw at Haiti, and he is continuing to throw in bonus numbers. Instead of asking for UN action he reflexively committed the US for an all new quagmire. What a guy!
From the article on Spiegel:
“he could back away from his strategy of bipartisanship ... which would mean giving up much of what he spent his first year in office creating.”
Absolutely unbelievable. His strategy of bipartisanship??
Not so fast, still a very dangerous man.
Prepare for a "wag the dog" event if his ratings fall much more. Almost 100% sure to happen.
Buy defense stocks soon.
I love the headline.
Now if the article only came with photo’s of a U-Haul backed up to the While House and Michelle screaming at Obama as she loads her kids into “clunker”.
If it’s President Bush’s fault, than this is Bush’s win. Congrats W for such a good swing at the Kennedys. Kennedy Compound, indeed.
Since the last war, Germany has had more economic sense than the rest of Europe. So you’d think they’d be a bit less delusional than this.
Obama has saved the banks, saved the car industry, saved the world, and now he wants to save healthcare, but the American people don’t appreciate his enormous accomplishments?
Obama has tried to work with everyone and be a bipartisan leader, but now he might have to stop being so nice to the opposition and turn partisan?
What planet do these guys live on?
No. They have the convinction that, if he continues piling up debt, he will be throwing away the country's future--and destroying the United States--terminating "The American Experiment"--and ending "The American Dream."
"For everyone else in the world, this means that they will have to bid farewell to a candidate for whom the hopes were so high. They will have to say goodbye to the charisma they fell in love with."
If "everyone else in the world" considers falling in love with charisma to be adequate reason for choosing a political leader--then "everyone else in the world" is a fool!
And this from Germany--of all places--who should know--if anyone does--the danger of choosing a political leader because of dazzling charisma!
Yes--the Germans have fallen in love with charisma before!
Considering this stark example of history--"everone else in the world" should be profoundly grateful for the Americans who value sobriety and clarity and the careful evaluation of substance and meaning in choosing political leaders and refuse to fall in love with--and therefore be distracted by--"charisma (which certainly does not include all Americans).
In a dangerous world--a world so dangerous as this--clarity and sobriety are to be valued all the more!
The people of the world had better be grateful--and had better begin to choose sobriety and clarity in evaluating their leaders rather than dazzling "charisma"!
Clear-thinking, sober people have to make up for the fools who fall in love with charisma!
So long BO! Don’t let the conservative door hit you in the a$$.
From this thread to God's eyes......amen.

US President Barack Hussein Obama has had a number of difficult weeks during his first year in the White House. Right after he took office, he had to LAUNCH a week full of partisan bickering over his YET UNKNOWN economic stimulus package combined with a tax scandal surrounding Tom Daschle, the CROOKED TAX CHEAT Obama had hoped would lead his health care reform team.
