I have changed

Obama just can’t get no respect these days. He’s getting dissed by everyone including Ecuador on the Snowden affair. There was this headline after his recent Berlin appearance Barack Obama bombs in Berlin: a weak, underwhelming address from a floundering president.

Now he is being likened to Adolf Hitler by protesters in Africa.

Scuffles erupt in Soweto at protest against Obama honorary doctorate

Protesters at the Soweto campus shouted “Go back Obama” and carried posters that showed Obama with a Hitler moustache, others held posters that read “Free the Cuban 5”.

South African critics of Obama have focused in particular on his support for U.S. drone strikes overseas, which they say have killed hundreds of innocent civilians, and his failure to fulfil a pledge to close the U.S. military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Obama’s success was always based on being the man with potential. He never had to deliver along the way because it was always about the future. Hope and promise carried him to the pinnacle of power where the future turned around and looked him in the face.

    I wouldn’t take the protests too seriously. Kerry’ll come by in the clean-up crew with a big bag of freshly-printed money, and everyone will love us again for another couple weeks.

    Yes. Put the mustache on DB’s face!

    Usually, I object to off-the-wall comparisons to Hitler. But this one makes me smile. Poor Bronco ‘Bama, I guess his $100 million vacay isn’t going so well….

    • Maynard says:

      Obviously the comparison of Obama to Hitler is ridiculous. In one case, we have a man from a broken home who came from one country and used his charisma to seize leadership of another country, which he then ran into the ground. In the other case, we have Hitler.

    What? They’re mocking our little plaything of academia?

    Euros are peeved about the NSA spying on the EU politicians. Germans have a pic of Obama with headphones on and underneath it says, Stasi 2.0

    btw, another article says that UK has been doing even more electronic spying than NSA and that we & UK have been sharing data. Possible that we have the sports car effect here – the UK’s spying is bigger than ours, we must be first.

    Have you ever watched the TV program called American Greed? OBummer reminds me of this show. There’s always some swindler who promises the world to investors, or patients, or whoever. They drain them of every cent and before anyone really catches on to the scam, it’s too late. The money’s all gone. That’s what OBummer is doing to America, but don’t worry. In the end, the perp always gets caught. That’s what’s happening around the world. People are starting to catch on.
