Have they lost their minds?

[HarleyD]

Their “minds” were lost a long time ago.

[autumnraine]

Good Lord, they were really on their knees for this one.

oSSama bin Ladin is good reference for the NYT and Obama

[Reeses]

No one ever said it better than Osama bin Laden:

Fond flattery for a terrorist that killed thousands of NYC people? Terrorists see a weak horse in Obama and will nuke NYC, and New Yorkers know it.

Thomas Friedman is a sap.

[DrC]

Friedman apparently forgets that while Americans applaud a winner, the fates of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, and Marion Jones suggest they are less impressed by those who achieve their feats by breaking or bending the rules. Dictators, mob bosses and other thugs tend to be far less discriminating in their admiration for winners.

Friedman also conveniently ignores it was Nancy Pelosi’s pressure/prodding/nagging that was instrumental in pushing Obama to override the instincts of Rahm Emanuel to settle for a far less ambitious incremental version of health reform and to instead adopt the far riskier “all in” gamble that was taken. And it was Nancy Pelosi, not Barack Obama, who secured the votes needed for passage in the House. This reality, in conjunction with Obama’s repeated bowing and scraping before foreign leaders and the obvious disrespect he has been accorded by enemies and allies alike suggest that it is a wiener, not a winner, who now occupies the Oval Office. And even Tom Friedman should know that no one likes a wiener.

So when obama health care denial plan is repealed it will be a foreign affair embarrassment as well.

Much of the world admires a 'strong leader'. Russians revere Stalin, who 'saved' the Rodina, Arab nations admire the man who will use force to achieve his ends, Latin America, Machismo, etc.

Having stuffed through a measure over the objections of his people makes him a 'summbody' in many not so envious countries, much to our chagrin. Such adulation is the stuff Hitlers are made of.
