Superman Flummoxed By The BBC

The question that flummoxed the great orator

Here's a story that you won't see covered in the American media. To hear the New York Times and other American dailies reporting on the Obama "listening tour".....you would think that the messianic one had been elected prime minister of that part of the world.

But not so says John Crace of the Guardian. According to Mr. Crace, the great orator wasn't so great when the BBC got hold of him and presented him with the question of blame for the current global economic crisis. John Crace steps up and tugs on Superman's cape.

Mr. Crace proceeds to diagram the president's remarks and response and demonstrate clearly, just how lost for words he really is, when he doesn't have a scripted teleprompter response before his eyes to simply recite from.

But then again, this may have been one of the first times that the sycophants in that part of the world have really seen the messianic one in full and on display, since his appearance there last year to audition for president of the world.

In either event, the rest of the world now appears to be awakening to the reality of the emperor's new clothes and the impolite giggling has already begun.
