Should we take comfort in the knowledge that ours is not the only incompetent government in the world?

The media always gets upset when a journalist makes Messiah look bad.

To be totally honest, I find the whole thing very scary

You'll find it a lot more "scary" when Hussein Obama's gloves come off and he starts jailing his political enemies. Martial law is just part of his plans to destroy America. What else would you expect from a guy named Hussein who was giving US weapons to Muslim terrorists including Al Qaeda in Benghazi?

I can not remember any time in the past where a news photographer apologized over a photo they took.

In one photo we can see the real Obama, it is all about “me”.

It deserves a Pulitzer.

Bush is a statist, government man inside.

He and his old man are owned by Yankee "tradition" .... all about high seriousness, Skull and Bones mummery about "the things we must do in life", etc. etc.

Which boils down to the institutionalization of Yankee rapacity and divine right -- Empire without the King, scholars of Hamiltonianism have called it.

Roberto is an A++ paparazzo!

He simultaneously exposed the world's finest living prime minister and the world's worst president.

Here's a portion of the sequence as published by TVNZ ( New Zealand). As you can see from this set and angle, wild child Helle is playing Cameron and Obama. Grins and giggles all around, which I believe caused Missus O's reaction. Having had Reggie Love around 24/7 since the first campaign she's quite familiar with the catchers and pitchers game being played at home. He's just not that into women but his core narcissism laps up all attention.

The real focus should be on the puerile behavior of three heads of state not Missus O's reaction, which would have been endorsed by Emily Post. Odd that neither the English and American media have published or broadcast the Danes reaction to the behavior of their PM.

For the record I still despise O+O, their antecedents back to the days of the flood and all their future descendants.

Mods asked for a source to a post concerning this...and pulled the post. Here’s another article with a link:

The South African government says it is investigating the hiring of a signer for the deaf at Nelson Mandela’s memorial, as reports emerge alleging he had once faced a murder charge.

I wasn’t referring to THIS post, I was referring to a post that was pulled about the signer at the Mandela Memorial being investigated. I don’t know who posted it, once a post is pulled, there’s no record.

that’s all there is - the title was:

“South Africa Investigates Nelson Mandela Interpreter Murder Charge”

There’s no way of telling who the poster was.

Had nuthin’ to do with no signer of any sort regarding Mandela.

Wasn’t there.

Long long time ago I was stuck in a hotel elevator lobby
With a bunch of drunk deaf mutes signing dirty jokes and hee-hawing. Not a pretty sight I can tell you.
Check my posts.

The South African government says it is investigating the hiring of a signer for the deaf at Nelson Mandela’s memorial, as reports emerge alleging he had once faced a murder charge.

The signer, Thamsanqa Jantjie, had stood just feet from US President Barack Obama and other world leaders at Tuesday’s event at the Soweto World Cup stadium.
He became a focus of media attention after organisations for the deaf accused him of being an imposter and signing gibberish throughout the memorial service.
Jantjie has insisted to the media that he is a qualified signer and claims he had suffered a schizophrenic attack that left him confused and hallucinating on stage.
The private South African TV channel eNCA alleged in a report on Friday that he had faced violent criminal charges in the past, including murder and kidnapping.
Government spokeswoman Phumla Williams said the government was investigating whether a security lapse had taken place in hiring Jantjie and whether he was the professional signer he claims to be.
December 13, 2013: The South African Government are investigating how a man who faked sign language at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service was given security clearance.The eNCA report claimed Jantjie had faced a string of criminal charges between 1994 and 2003.
While most were withdrawn “allegedly because he was mentally unfit to stand trial,” murder and attempted murder charges were referred to a high court, eNCA said.
The TV channel said it was unclear how the cases were resolved because the relevant judicial files were “empty.”

How did she get him to change seats? These I never saw. Hysterical!

What’s funny is, Barack loves goofing with pretty women, but he isn’t “interested” in women much for real. Yet Michele is so ignored that she gets jealous anyway.

“Barack loves goofing with pretty women, but he isn’t “interested” in women much for real.”

Getting in his girl talk that he can’t get at home.
