Don’t worry kids, I wish I could take credit for it but, for this one i’ll have to give credit where credit is due. Mirek Topolanek, a European Union Leader says a week before Barack Obama is due to arrive in Europe on his first official visit as US president, “The US Treasury secretary talks about permanent action and we, at our spring council, were quite alarmed at that . . . The US is repeating mistakes from the 1930s, such as wide-ranging stimuluses, protectionist tendencies and appeals, the Buy American campaign, and so on,” he told a European parliament session in Strasbourg. “All these steps, their combination and their permanency, are the road to hell.”

…ya, I was actually surprised it took this long. I think this is basically the feeling of most American’s these days, though it is ironic it took a EU leader to get pissed off enough to say something about it.

Given the outrage of our friend from the EU, Obama vigorously opposes the view that the continued spending and borrowing is going to dig this hole even deeper. Big surprise right? During Tuesday’s Press Conference, Obama was so hooked on the “prompter” that every question asked by the likes of “politico”, and even a French news agency, the only thing he could say was “we must act now”. Well Mr. President.. I ask you.. Would you start bulding a house before you own the land? Of course not, that would be idiotic.. or say.. insane! It’s the same situation, just a different scale.

Oh by the way… speaking of taking questions at the Press Conference, Obama completely left out the likes of;

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and USA Today

HA! All of this just minutes after talking about the importance of “media” in the USofA??

The “road to hell indeed”… very much indeed.

Most of us have heard the rhetoric of the select few conservative journalists who speak of Obama’s “Marxist” or “Leninist” similarities, but why have the other streams of media decided not to broach this subject? Perhaps they assume the majority of the public do not understand what that means. Or maybe they assume they are relating it to a local grocery store, or the Beatles..? Is it really that crazy to think? While most of the American Public are so concerned with “change”, it would seem that they have forgotten to look at how this change will come. A classic Obama theme was that we need “Fundamental” change. right. Aren’t the “Fundamentals” of the great U. S. of A. what make it exactly that? A lot of people will say that Barack was extremely deceptive in his campaign, and while I don’t feel that he was the spitting image of truth, he was not afraid to say how he felt about certain issues. Issues that I assumed would throw a few rad flags in the public’s eye. “generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties” -- Barack Obama, 2001. Negative liberties? He says this of course as he was describing the victories and failures of the civil rights movement. People, people, people… let’s wake up please. Hopefully this first term will help us remove the sleep from our eyes, and the guns from our pockets…

we’ll soon see

or perhaps this first term will take us back to the “leave it to beaver” days? depending on who you ask, either Kennedy almost started a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, or he gracefully avoided it. What will we say about our Obamenon?
