I hope Obama loses, even if
the rest of the world
wants him to win

Telegraph [UK], by Ruth Dudley Edwards

Posted By:Attercliffe, 11/5/2012 7:14:15 AM

YouGov has revealed that 70 percent of British adults would vote for Barack Obama and only seven percent for Mitt Romney. (I don’t know the figures for my native Ireland, but I’d expected them to be 99 to one.) Now even I--who thought an arrogant, cerebral academic lawyer who had climbed the greasy pole of Chicago politics from community activist to senator in about five minutes singularly unqualified to be president--had a lump in my throat when he was elected. It was, damn it, moving to see a mixed-race man with a black wife being voted in by

Sure, you Europeans say you would vote for him, but you wouldn't want to have him as your leader(?). From 3000 miles away it's hard to see his warts, but he has plenty. As for leading, you have to turn around to see him; or check out the golf courses.

Question: How many of these Europeans, who are so superior in intellect, sophistication and tolerance, have voted a black or mixed-race man or woman into the highest elected office in their country? England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries? Anybody? Bueler...Bueler...

People overseas don't understand the metrics America's greatness is based on or they would have converted to a similar government and economic model a long time ago. Instead,it's the other way around where we're copying Europe that's underwater everywhere you look with the possibly Sweden who had a big tax cut and is recovering.

the people that make this country work are being systematically snuffed out along with our supposed balance of power.The dems don't care about taking back the House because they don't need it with an imperial exe branch.Even the senate with it's filibusters make it near impossible to get anything done.Obama can keep the downward spiral with the veto pen and exe orders.

Missie Barack is not cerebral, not academic, and is no more than the exemplar of affirmative action gone awry. I know of dozens of black, academic cerebral men and women who do not hate America, are not drug abusers or alcoholics, who do not have a narcissistic personality disorder.

The rest of the world loves Obama because unlike the rest of America's enemies, he alone has succeeded in diminishing its power and reducing it to their level. They are envious of and fearful of its hyperpower status, which will be rebuilt under President Romney.

The entire rest of the world other than Israel wants us to be weaklings in America. Also, just like Americans who supported Clinton when he had a zipper problem, world leaders feel a little less inferior when they support a milquetoast like Obama. Maybe they think if Obama finishes the job destroying America, their people will have no place to run to when Europe keeps taxing the workers to pay for the lazy.

Good to see that those nice folks who oppressed us here and drove us to armed rebellion in the mid 1700's have learned nothing in the intervening 200+ years. Only someone who hated America could wish an incompetent sociopath like Obama on us. Somebody tell me again why we were so eager to help them out in 1916-18 and 1939-1945? again?

Sorry, Ruth, the lump in your throat was you swallowing your pea-sized brain! The lure of the mixed-race candidate with the black wife is akin to baiting a mousetrap. Peanut butter works great and chocolate, too. Either way, bye bye mouse. You were tricked, too.

As they perused the well-stocked aisles of their local shop, the wealthy residents of Highland Park were charmed by the polite and handsome young man behind the counter. [Snip] Like his great-grandfather Alfred Roberts before him, Mr Thatcher works long shifts while serving as a committed Christian and conservative in his free time. After graduating from Texas A&M University in Chemistry, the subject Lady Thatcher read at Oxford in the 1940s, the 24-year-old now hands out prescriptions along with the snacks, cosmetics and greetings cards on offer. His sister Amanda, meanwhile, also appears to harbour Thatcherite ambitions. Graduating from school

His birth was famously announced when the Prime Minster proudly stood on the steps of 10 Downing Street holding him in her arms and declared ´We have become a grandmother.´ And with politics running in the family blood, Michael Thatcher, 24, once hailed a rising American football star, now looks set to follow his grandmother´s career path.

First Lady Michelle Obama could hardly contain her excitement and giggled like a school girl as she introduced a host of Memphis Soul legends at the White House on Tuesday. [Snip] The First Lady paid tribute to a style of music with a ‘story uniquely its own’ and could hardly contain her glee at she introduced Sam Moore of 60´s R&B duo Sam and Dave. ‘Watching you all´s faces: priceless,’ the first lady joked of the crowd in the State Dining Room as the musicians walked onto the stage. ‘See, you never know what´s going to happen at the

The anti-Thatcher anthem Ding Dong the Witch is Dead has seen a surge in popularity since Baroness Thatcher’s death and looks set to retain a top slot when the Official Chart Show airs on Sunday.[Snip] But the move has found support in some unlikely corners as UKIP leader Nigel Farage and Tory MP Philip Davies, who have both paid glowing tribute to the former leader, said broadcasting the song was the right thing to do. Mr Farage said: “If you suppress things then you make them popular, so play the bloody thing. If you ban it it will be number

These adorable pictures show Julian Becker and his 165 pound pet Max, the shaggy Newfoundland that never leaves his best friend´s side. Five-year-old Julian´s mother Stasha started taking pictures of the odd couple every day before they got in the family car in Whidbey Island, Washington state, U.S., although both Julian and Max were born in England. With her husband away regularly in his role as a U.S. naval officer, the pictures began as a way of keeping in touch. They have evolved into a charming document of a boy´s love for a four-legged friend he began walking

Jay-Z blasted back today at critics of his and wife´s Beyoncé´s recent trip to Cuba in a new song. The scathing song, ´Open Letter´ calls out the politicians who questioned the legality of the fifth anniversary vacation, which was approved by the Treasury Department, when the rapper says, ´Politicians never did s**t for me, except lie to me, distort history. They wanna give me jail time and a fine. Fine, let me commit a real crime.´ The song also includes lyrics boasting of his friendship with President Obama, adding: ´Obama said, ´Chill you´re going to get me impeached

First they purloin the savings and bank deposits in Laiki and the Bank of Cyprus, including the working funds of the University of Cyprus, and thousands of small firms hanging on by their fingertips. Then they seize three-quarters of the country’s gold reserves, making it ever harder for Cyprus to extricate itself from EMU at a later date. [Snip] Cypriots are learning what it means to be a member of monetary union when things go badly wrong. The crisis costs have suddenly jumped from €17bn to €23bn, and the burden of finding an extra €6bn will fall on Cyprus alone.

Harath Andrade tells the BBC´s Ben Wright: "If there was a system in place for immigration my dad wouldn´t have to be facing this struggle right now." Tens of thousands of demonstrators have rallied across the US in a mass call for citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. The co-ordinated protests were designed to press Congress to act as senators negotiate an immigration reform bill. In Washington DC cheering crowds gathered outside the Capitol, and more than 1,000 demonstrated in Atlanta.[Snip] The push for immigration reform follows an election in which Hispanic voters overwhelmingly supported President Barack Obama and

US rice imports ´contain

Analysis of commercially available rice imported into the US has revealed it contains levels of lead far higher than regulations suggest are safe. Some samples exceeded the "provisional total tolerable intake" (PTTI) set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by a factor of 120. The report at the American Chemical Society Meeting adds to the already well-known issue of arsenic in rice. The FDA told the BBC it would review the research. Lead is known to be harmful to many organs and the central nervous system.[Snip] Because rice is grown in heavily irrigated conditions, it is more susceptible

Two teachers are today unmasked as key architects of the vile Thatcher ‘death parties’. One is employed at Labour leader Ed Miliband’s old school and has worked with the youngest and most impressionable pupils there, while the other teaches troubled and vulnerable children.[Snip] Craig Parr, a teacher at Haverstock School in north London--nicknamed ‘Labour’s Eton’--was pictured parading with a sick placard which read: ‘Rejoice. Thatcher is dead.’ The 27-year-old special needs teacher and union activist led chants of ‘Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, dead, dead, dead’ at a death party he organised in Brixton, south London, on Monday night which ended in

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, whose career was destroyed after embarrassing sexts he sent to young women leaked online, is rumored to be planning a bid to run as New York mayor this year, according to reports today. Numerous sources claim Weiner, the Brooklyn congressman forced to step-down amid the embarrassing scandal in 2011, is about to make his entry into the race and put himself in contention for the Democratic Party primary. The New York Post today claims that Weiner is laying the foundations for a comeback after agreeing to a lengthy interview in the New York Times with

In 2011, the journalist Mara Hvistendahl published Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men, detailing the societal effects of sex-selective abortions that target women the world over and resulted in the absence of perhaps more than 100 million girls who by now should have been born. But Hvistendahl soon learned the downside to uncovering what many believe to be a shocking trend in human rights offenses: people will want to do something about it.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

Is Anthony Weiner completely delusional? Or is he out of his flipping, sex-crazed gourd? Whatever big-busted fantasies crawl around the ex-congressman’s delirious noggin, la Weiner made his next goal as clear as the skin of the wholesome college students he craved: He relishes being Mayor Weiner. Please, shut up this clown. These days, the genitally obsessed Weiner has nothing much to do, except sit in his lavish Manhattan apartment and — the inhumanity! — change the poopy diapers of his 16-month-old son, Jordan. Worse, Weiner is living under a kind of house arrest, sentenced to take extreme grief

Seven hundred Military Special Operations professionals. And one insistent and very angry Mom. This is becoming a deadly combination for the political game players in the Obama Administration.

Sean Smith was Mrs. Smith’s only child. To listen to her recent radio interview with another Sean… Sean Hannity… is to have the heart break.
