This is translation of a funny story about Obama, circulating in Eastern Europe:
At a meeting with the Queen of England, Barack Obama, asks her: "Your Majesty,
how do you create an effective government? Is there any advice you can give me?
Well, said the queen," the most important thing - surround yourself with smart people.Obama frowned, and then asked: "How do I know that people around me
really smart?
Took a sip of tea, the Queen replies: "Oh, it's easy. You just
ask them to solve the intellectual puzzle. "Queen of the presses
intercom button. Please send Tony Blair here.
Tony Blair walks into the room and said, "Yes, my queen?"
The Queen smiled and said: "Tell me, please, Tony - your
mother and father have a child. This is not your brother or your sister ...
Who is it? "Without hesitating for a moment, Tony Blair replied:" It would be I"
"Yes, very well," said the Queen.
Obama returns home and asks Joe Biden, his vice
President, the same question: "Joe, please answer this question for me.
Your mother and father have a child. This is not your brother or your sister... Who is it? "
"I'm not sure," said Biden. "Let me get back to you later on
this issue. "He goes to his advisors and asks everyone, but
no one can give him an answer. Finally, he finds himself in the men's room,
and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall.
Biden asked Powell: "Colin, if you can solve for me
this problem? Your mother and father have a child. This is not your brother and it is not
Your sister ... Who is it? "
Colin Powell yells: "It's simple: - It's me."
Biden smiles and says, "Thank you." Then he goes back to Obama.
"So I did some research and I have a response to this
puzzle. This is - Colin Powell! "
Obama stands up, jumps up to Biden, and angrily yells into his face:
"No, you idiot! ... It's Tony Blair!"
На встрече с королевой Англии Барак Обама спрашивает ее: "Вашe
Величество, как вы создаете такое эффективное правительство? Есть ли
какие – либо советы, которые вы можете дать мне?
"Ну, говорит королева", самое главное - окружить себя умными людьми ".
Обама нахмурился, а потом спросил: "Откуда я знаю, что люди вокруг меня
действительно умны?
Сделав глоток чая, королева отвечает: "О, это просто. Вы только
попросите их разгадать интеллектуальную загадку. "Королева нажимает на
кнопку переговорного устройства. Пожалуйста, пришлите сюда Тони Блэра.
Тони Блэр входит в комнату и говорит: "Да, моя королева?"
Королева улыбается и говорит: "Ответьте мне, пожалуйста, Тони - Ваши
мать и отец имеют ребенка. Это не Ваш брат и это не Ваша сестра ...
Кто это? " Не задумываясь ни на минуту, Тони Блэр отвечает: "Это был
бы я".
"Да! Очень хорошо", говорит Королева.
Обама возвращается домой и задает Джо Байдену, своему вице
-президенту, тот же вопрос: "Джо, ответьте на этот вопрос для меня.
Ваши мать и отец имеют ребенка. Это не Ваш брат и это не Ваша сестра
... Кто это? "
"Я не уверен", говорит Байден. "Позвольте мне вернуться к вам позже по
этому вопросу". Он идет к его советникам и спрашивает каждого, но
никто не может дать ему ответ. Наконец, он попадает в мужской туалет,
и по обуви узнает Колина Пауэлла в соседней кабинке.
Байден спрашивает Пауэлла: "Колин, можете ли вы ответить для меня на
этот вопрос? Ваши мать и отец имеют ребенка. Это не Ваш брат и это не
Ваша сестра ... Кто это? "
Колин Пауэлл кричит: "Это просто: - Это я!".
Байден улыбается, и говорит: "Спасибо". Тогда он возвращается к Обаме.
"Так вот, я провел небольшое исследование и у меня есть ответ на эту
загадку. Это - Колин Пауэлл! "
Обама встает, подскакивает к Байдену и сердито кричит ему в лицо:
"Нет! Вы идиот! ... Это Тони Блэр!"

You accuse me of speaking just for myself or my circle of friends: but what do you do? You speak for UN perhaps? As I live here and follow the newspapers, I think I am more qualified to tell you what Europeans think about certain point than you.
Which foreign papers do you read, really? Could you please give a link where somebody sane for example compared Obama unfavourably to Bush?
Of course there are people with all kinds of opinions, some people believe they were raped by space aliens, but the majority in Western Europe are just fine with Obama. Critical, not always happy because we hoped for more, but fine.
Not so with his predecessor who tried, but failed to push us into his criminal war in Iraq.
How many languages do you speak? I want to know which European newspapers do you follow in order to form your opinion. Let me guess: all of them. You can probably see Europe from your porch which naturally makes you an expert. I am expecting nothing less than to see you on Romney ticket in few days. Mona Lisa with a monster smile. How appropriate.
Conservatives have so little imagination, you gotta recycle the same old same old.
I have friends and FAMILY around the world, and other countries admire Obama and believe he is too good for the United States. Deal with that.
As for the joke origination - it is just about any stupid Administration, which Obama's circle (should I say "circus"?) is most representative of. And that is why it is embraces overseas as pertaining to Obama and his Joe The Stupid.
RWNJs are always circulating unsubstantiated nonsense that they claim comes from somewhere "overseas".
Like I said, a complete lack of imagination.
Perhaps you shouldn't have voted for a guy that has spent all the Clinton surplus, gave loads of money to his rich friends and started two wars that cost not just an arm and a leg, but many heads and hearts as well.
Perhaps you should also realize that the depth of the problem was only surpassed by the Great Depression and it is impossible to fix it in a short period. The banks have wiped out the middle class and left them pennyless. Money that should have been spent and circulating in the economy is now parked in the bank accounts of the few supper rich.
When you say that the economy is doing bad, you are actually not correct. The corporations are doing great. They are amassing record profits on their accounts. It has never been better for them. But their republican friends ensured that they don't invest in the USA in order to bring Obama down. As Rush stated, their objective is for Obama to fail. And Average Joe is the collateral damage.
So sure. Go vote for another guy who ...

So sure. Go vote for another guy who wants to best his father. Vote for a guy who doesn't understand that dogs are people, but thinks Coca Cola is somebody I would like to marry. If you think that one day you will also have an elevator for your cadillacs or at least you will be tending the lawn for him. That is if you are not sick and have to sell a kidney to pay for your appendectomy.
I see. You are either lousy typist or one of those crazy conspiracy theorists.
And judging by the rest of your post, I would say the later.
Housing bubble was caused by greed. I think Clinton has a great deal of responsibility because of the repeal of Glass-Steagall act, but the rest of it was done by the banks that manipulated the system and the government that was too small to fight them off.
Luckily in Europe we don't have the republican party that is as powerful and we managed to survive it. Even though some countries were badly hurt and on a verge of bankruptcy caused by the feeding frenzy of the banks.
Except of Greece, all other countries - Ierland, Spain, Island... - were hurt because of the big banks and the housing bubble. Not because of your imaginary ideas.
Nice to see how judgemental you are and think that nobody works in Europe. It is not just stupid to say, it is also very hypocritical. Ever been to Alabama? Mississippi? At least nobody is croaking on the streets because of the treatable illnesses like in they are supposed to in an republican paradise. Republicans: ready to kill to protect a fetus until he is born. Then he is on his own. Just die already you uninsured bastard, it is not my fault that you were born sick? And now you exp...

And now you expect me to pay 15 dollars for the antibiotics to save your life - why don't you go to work? Oh, you were born yesterday, but how is that my problem? I need money to buy a gun to kill a doctor that is looking after women because my invisible friend in the sky told me to.
In August 1998, President Clinton ordered missile strikes against targets in Afghanistan in an effort to hit Osama bin Laden, who had been linked to the embassy bombings in Africa (and was later connected to the attack on the USS Cole). The missiles reportedly missed bin Laden by a few hours, and Clinton was widely criticized by many who claimed he had ordered the strikes primarily to draw attention away from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. As John F. Harris wrote in The Washington Post:
In August 1998, when [Clinton] ordered missile strikes in an effort to kill Osama bin Laden, there was widespread speculation — from such people as Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) — that he was acting precipitously to draw attention away from the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal, then at full boil. Some said he was mistaken for personalizing the terrorism struggle so much around bin Laden. And when he ordered the closing of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House after domestic terrorism in Oklahoma City, some Republicans accused him of hysteria.
. . . the federal budget on anti-terror activities tripled during Clinton's watch, to about $6.7 billion. After the effort to kill bin Laden with missiles in August 1998 failed — he had apparently left a...

. . . the federal budget on anti-terror activities tripled during Clinton's watch, to about $6.7 billion. After the effort to kill bin Laden with missiles in August 1998 failed — he had apparently left a training camp in Afghanistan a few hours earlier — recent news reports have detailed numerous other instances, as late as December 2000, when Clinton was on the verge of unleashing the military again. In each case, the White House chose not to act because of uncertainty that intelligence was good enough to find bin Laden, and concern that a failed attack would only enhance his stature in the Arab world.
Other than that, you are using the poor Clinton's excuses no person with brain would take seriously. He was obsessed with good stock market indicators that would signify his presidency. Really productive anti-terrorism activities could jeopardize the indicators, which he couldn't allow.
Wrong wing was accusing him of "wagging the dog" - that he was spending too much time with OBL.
You could educate yourself by reading what Clinton did specifically against OBL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
But like you care what the facts are. You just want to poison others.
Here is what the people that constitute your brains said:
Rep. Jim Gibbons (R-NV):
“‘Look at the movie Wag the Dog. I think this has all the elements of that movie,’ Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., said. ‘Our reaction to the embassy bombings should be based on sound credible evidence, not a knee-jerk reaction to try to direct public attention away from his personal problems.’” [Ottawa Citizen, 8/21/98]
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA):
“There’s an obvious issue which will be raised internationally about the response here as to whether there is any diversionary motive involved. … I have deliberated consciously any references to Ms. Monica Lewinsky, but when you ask the question in very blunt terms, the president’s current problems have to be on the minds of many people.” [CNN, 8/20/98]
Former Sen. John Ashcroft (R-MO):
“‘We support the president out of a sense of duty whenever he deploys military forces, but we’re not sure – were these forces sent at this time because he needed to ...

“‘We support the president out of a sense of duty whenever he deploys military forces, but we’re not sure – were these forces sent at this time because he needed to divert our attention from his personal problems?‘ Ashcroft said during the taping of a TV program in Manchester, N.H.” [St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 8/21/98]
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX):
“I’m very supportive of the strike that has happened, but I will tell you that the timing is very questionable. This was the day that Monica Lewinsky has gone back to the grand jury, evidently enraged. Certainly that information will be overshadowed.” [Dallas Morning News, 8/21/98]
Former Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN):
“Coats (R-IN), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement, ‘While there is clearly much more we need to learn about this attack and why it was ordered today, given the president’s personal difficulties this week, it is legitimate to question the timing of this action.‘” [CNN, 8/20/98]
Former Rep. Dave Weldon (R-FL):
“Although most in Congress rallied around Clinton on Thursday, two Republican U.S. senators and one Central Florida congressman broke with the tradition of standing behind a president during a foreign crisis.Sen. Daniel Coats, R-Ind., Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Palm Bay, publicly questioned Clinton’s motives in launching the attacks so soon after his public admission of a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. … ‘The president has, indeed, broken the trust of the American people, and these are legitimate questions that must be answered.’” [Orlando Sentinel, 8/21/98]
Former Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA):
“All I’m saying is if factors other than good intelligence, military necessity, being prepared for the consequences entered into it, then it is wrong, and it appears that one of those factors that may have entered into it is to take something that could have been done a week ago and do it today in an effort to divert some attention.” [Fox News, 8/20/98]
The senators hit the nail on the head: if Clinton's priority was going after Usama, not hiding the Clinton's own crap, he wouldn't procrastinate and Usama was dead.
The only nail the senators have hit is on your head.
They were criticizing him for going after Osama, not for procrastinating.
But you could never realize that because it takes one to know one.
Clinton was OBSESSED with OBL. He tried and tried to kill him and your republican friends were criticizing him all the time for concentrating so much on OBL. And now you dare to say that Clinton wouldn't act on him. Shame on you.
And of course, no mentioning of the fact that W. stated several times and quite fast after 9/11 that he doesn't care if OBL lives or dies and that he is not searching for him anymore. If that is not disturbing, nothing is.
