A quick word from the President, with whom the buck stops
Well, him or the teleprompter. Isn’t it funny that everything said about Cheney is totally, visibly true about the Teleprompter of the United States of America?
Let’s have a look at a quote:
“I am certain that we will be able to work together, in the coming four years, in a spirit of peace and friendship to build a safer world.”
That was sent by the One to Jacques Chirac (possibly spelled correctly, and anyhow as much effort as I’m putting forth to spell that jackass’ name right), with well wishes. Its a very nice sentiment, and a great first foot forward with an important ally.
Wait a minute, Chirac hasn’t been in power for two years. OMGWTFBBQ. Our coolest, smartest, most handsome uber-Presidential demigod just completely missed Sarkozy’s election? Remember when he defeated a woman candidate in a fair election? Um, does France ring a bell? Europe? (Hint: Its by the country you got crazy awesome gifts from, and sent 25 region-incompatible dvds back to. Can’t fault you for forgetting something you obviously spent so little time on, though.)
Let us now consider the alternative: Obama knows who Sarkozy is, but sent this letter anyhow. That means he snubbed Nick on purpose, sending a letter to a former leader instead of the current one. So our mega-diplomatic POTUS, who will make the world love us again, adds France to the list of countries he’s pissed off in two months total. For review, here’s a spur of the moment list:
Poland, Ukrainie – Missle Defense laydown to Russia
Georgia – suggesting they need to show restraint when the neo-USSR is attacking
England – messing up the PM Brown airport pickup, worst gifts ever for our best ally
EU – Sudden protectionism, stoking possibility of global trade war
Mexico – caving to union truckers, violating NAFTA for removing mexican long haul trucks
India – saying Kashmir is in Pakistan
Brazil – spelling president’s name incorrectly
China – threatening to use inflation to pay off debts, banana republic style, protectionism
I can just feel the love coming from the entire globe right now. We are the world….
We are the children…
