European Press Dumps on Obama
The Rush Limbaugh Program ^ | 20 June 2013 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 06/20/2013 4:16:35 PM PDT by COBOL2Java

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: The European media is beating up our president like you can't believe, folks. The European media is laughing at our president. The European media is drawing contrasts to the Obama that showed up there during 2008 and the Obama that's showing up there today. And they are dumping all over our president.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By the way, I heard that number was 6,000. I saw a picture. There was no way there were 6,000 people there. They barely had a full house for minor league hockey game. So they've revised the number down to 4,500 at the Obama speech at the Brandenburg Gate. I haven't had a chance to get to it today, but the international media is really coming down hard on our president. Apparently one of the chancellors, one of the ministers, name is Osborne, and Obama kept calling him Jeffrey. In speeches, Jeffrey Osborne. Jeffrey's a famous R&B singer. His name is George Osborne. And Obama, two or three, maybe four times, kept calling him Jeffrey Osborne. And this guy was really bugged by it. He's admitted that he was offended by it. You got the president of the United States, who was continually repeating mispronouncing this guy's name. Or not mispronouncing it; getting it wrong. Now, Jeffrey Osborne was a great R&B singer, but he ain't a minister or a chancellor at the European Union. That would be George Osborne. And Obama got his name wrong.

Early reports said Obama invited 6,000 to his little sideshow so a turnout of 4,500 means 1 in 4 invitees or 25% were no-shows.

BHO2 follows orders. When he is on his own, he is lost.

Valerie Jarrett should know better. He makes both of them look like losers.

This guy is a walking embarrassment to the presidency.
Overseas they have no allegience to him as does the press here. Of course, that is not going to be reported here so he can just move on to destroy something else without his fingerprints being on it.

I thought by now he would have cracked up. Maybe this ascertion by him in Germany he is going to use executive orders to wipe out the power industry polution may be the manifestation of his cracking. He has a Caesar complex for sure but when he starts firing out executive orders to push an unpopular and expensive program, this may be the catalyst to begin a 22nd amendment removal.

I remember when my European friends were falling all over themselves telling me how much America needed Obama. I wonder what they think now.

The only thing holding him up here in this country are his radical base and the dedicated supporters to that democratic shrine. The media gives him a cover since they are his outlets for the agenda. Otherwise, his base would not be winning jack. They only win by cheating.

3,000. That is about half of the number my church will hold on a Sunday morning.

Very thin crowd.

Hilarious.

Notice there aren't any real candid shots of the crowd from overhead this time? LOL They sure paper this pussy.

Good one. I looked around and didn’t see anything near this good. Look how sparse that looks. I just attended a graduation with more people in attendance.

Still, this doesn’t mean anything. Obama has gotten us so many more friends now that he doesn’t talk down to people like Bush did. /s

Bwa ha ha ha ha...

My Euro friends grew up under Mussolini and Hitler. From the time O started running, they were aghast. Especially the Italians, who said his speeches were echoes of Mussolni, who was going to fundamentally change Italy back into the glory days of The Holy Roman Empire. The Greek columns and the school children singing Obadone's praises were really evocative of being taken out of school to attend one of Mussolini's speeches, spending hours standing and waving flags and yelling for him.

Sorry, Mr. O, that scene has come and gone. The world doesn't need any more of it..

He’s more than an embarrassment. He’s a warning.
