Obama Lied to the Europeans
Barack Obama cast himself as a "citizen of the world" when he delivered his well-received campaign speech in Berlin in the summer of 2008. But the US president has now betrayed this claim. In his Berlin speech, he was dishonest with Europe. Since then, Obama has neglected the single most important issue for an American president who likes to imagine himself as a world citizen, namely, his country's addiction to fossil fuels and the risks of unchecked climate change. Health-care reform and other domestic issues were more important to him than global environmental threats. He was either unwilling or unable to convince skeptics in his own ranks and potential defectors from the ranks of the Republicans to support him, for example, by promising alternative investments as a compensation for states with large coal reserves.
The Europeans and especially the British are deeply into irony. I imagine then? This is what we in my part of the world call a "real doozy" for them. They must feel like they have been screwed and didn't even get kissed.
Sounds like the Europeans are more than a little pissed with the messiah right now. As they see his promises of old, for the actual hollow and shallow representations that they truly were both then and now.
Thankfully, their loss is our gain. At least for a little while. If he remains bogged down with his health care debacle and cap and trade, it will ultimately be the end of his presidency and his ability to do much more than pay lip service to any other major issue after that. Particularly as it concerns the other great socialist lie of our time "global warming."
But none the less, that won't salve the wounded asses of Europe as it concerns their hopes and dreams. They really thought that they had backed the ultimate ringer.

Sooner or later truth does prevail... and lies are exposed for what they are.
2010's shake up is rumbling now even in Europe... Bless Their Hearts.
("Bless Their Hearts" translated to mean... "You Idiot!"...
"Oh, you've just discovered that the man is a liar for personal fame? Bless Your Hearts!")
I know. "Bless their hearts" is often used as a southern euphemism for....."stupid idiots."
Problem is, when the truth comes out, there are often millions of innocent victims who paid the price for that truth.
"Problem is, when the truth comes out, there are often millions of innocent victims who paid the price for that truth."
So true! And those victims are typically the very ones the lib's hearts are bleeding over... kind of like the 53 million babies slaughtered in the US because "every child should be a wanted child.... we don't want you so we will kill you... but "by god," being killed is better for you than being born because you are going to bring a hardship on some living human."
