Drink your Kool-aid. Obama will fix the world in a few years. Ok, he was somehwat convincing he could fix stuff in the US. Now he has the Germans cheering him on to fix the world.

This prove stupidity is Worldwide and not just in America.

They ship it by the truckload. Just listen to them whoop and high five.

Huh? [/Irish]

Interesting that you should mention Obama.

Interesting that in typical political fashion, Obama recently visited 'war torn' Iraq on one of his campaign junkets

Interestingly, in typical military fashion, the armed forces insured they had more than ample supply of enlisted troops standing by, waiting endlessly in the sweltering heat, so Obama could spend 15 minutes shaking hands in order to pose for his campaign pictures and videos to show the US how much he truly 'cares' about the hard working grunts....you know...the backbone of any countries armed forces.

Interestingly, in average democratic candidate fashion, he walked right past the waiting troops who had been sweating their assorted genitalia off for god knows how long, blowing them off completely to go spend 15 minutes in an air conditioned tent with the brass.

I’m sure during his arduous 15 minutes "in country", he got an ample, accurate summary of everything going on so he and his 'advisors' could make their educated, enlightened decisions on how to handle the situation. Perhaps he even got a paper cut while he was there in which case he now rates a John Kerry class-Yellow Heart Medal.

Say what you want about the republicans, at least they typically have enough couth to stop, shake the hands of the troops and aknowledge their existance.

Interestingly, yes.

The hun shouldn't be allowed to vote at all.

Is it not a bit sad that you need to have served in the forces to be considered a presidential candidate? All respect to those that put on the uniform, but there are more ways to serve one's country than getting your arse shot off so Dick Cheney and chums can get richer quicker.


Question: is the US is so belligerent in its foreign policy purely because it needs a constant supply of wars so make sure that there are future politicians? Discuss. [/Mugz]

didn't seem to matter for the current one, he still got the most votes. oh wait....

Fcuk em. They're all bent.

I think you're missing what's really going on here. From what I've heard of his speech, the main gist of it was (reading between the lines;

"America will carry on trying to fix the world (in it's own image), and I want Europe to help."

Which, cutting the cr*p means;

"I want Europe to cough up more money and troops for American intervention policies."

It's got bugger all to do with "rebuilding the relationship with europe" or any of that cr*p - it's about sharing around the responsibility (and blame).

I'd have thought that, as an American, you'd have been all in favour of more European contributions of money and tragic loss of life towards America's ill-judged foreign policies? Or did your blind hatred of all Democrats cause you to miss what was actually a not-very-subtle attempt to pass round the begging bowl?

Shall I get the felt shapes out?



Edit for typo.

To his credit, he's one of the few that know there is another side of the Atlantic.

you may be a wingding, but your our wingding.

That indeed is good counsel.

He sells some damn fine money trees.

Huh? [/slow]

I'd give the Hun the vote. (NSFW in the slightest!)

Now, turpit, you are an intelligent person, so please tell me that shaking hands with the troops that Bush did is nothing but a photo-op. Besides, if you want to get to the nitty gritty, Bush is the one who sent them there (for no definite reason). Anyway...

One would imagine that if die one must, it would be for a bigger cause than any one person. Unfortunately, that is not the case at the present time.

As for the case of conduct, I don't think either of us is convincing the other.

I would disagree that Obama is stuck up. For whatever reason, people in the US often view intelligent people as stuck up. I'm not going to sit here and say that Kerry was the most charismatic guy on the planet, or even the most accessible guy, but people really held his using fairly complex language against him (among other things, which I'm not talking about right now). For what evr reason, there is the belief that you must be "able to relate to the guy (girl)" to elect him president. Which seems counter intuitive to me. Shouldn't the president be the best and the brightest?! So it's ok if he's smarter. It is a real problem, however, if it is the other way around (GWB..."...if you fool me.. you can't get fooled again" ).

Or Bush has Alzheimer's. He's just not that bright (comparatively speaking).

Reynod, you didnt get the message the first time. You really need to not interact with me

Oh, FFS, King excepted, can any of you construct a coherent sentence?

Edit for embarrassing typo.

*puts feet down, gets beer, puts feet back up*

The difference is I'm drunk now.

At least the posts here are shorter ... none of the pompous stuck up ... know it all stuff ...

That's at least a concession ...

Mornin' Rob! How the hell are you? [/bored]
