Oby Gynee is like the actor reading a script where the foreign words are spelled phonetically for him. Apparently whoever wrote his heart-felt farewell to his lifelong bosom buddy did that and he just read it.

Reminds me of when another DemocRAT messiah named John F. Kennedy went to West Germany to announce that he was a Berliner.

Not understanding how the German language works, he said, "Ich bin ein Berliner."

His Americanness didn't enable him to pronounce the word "ich" correctly so he pronounced it "ish".

Secondly, a German wouldn't declare himself "ein Berliner". He would simply say "Ich bin Berliner".

Just like a Dane wouldn't say "I am a Danish", he would say, "I am Danish".

By adding the word "ein" to "Berliner", JFK was declaring himself to be a jelly filled pastry also called known as a Berliner.

Now that I think about it. He may have been right after all.

Not so-——He handled the Cuban Missile crisis in the correct way. Can you imagine how Obama would have handled it?
