How far we’ve come since that Obama speech that drew 200,000 Germans who mistakenly thought JFK had been reborn in this fakir. Just two short years later he has become an object of derision.
Der Spiegel Online has the details:
“Barack Obama was the biggest loser of 2010. He allowed the angry Tea Party movement to grow powerful, he did not pass any decent laws despite his majority in Congress and he was aloof, elitist and indecisive. He had to accept a formidable, yet entirely understandable, defeat in the midterm elections as a result. No one expected much from Obama, at least not during the rest of this year.”
“Now, just days before Christmas, Congress has ratified the New START disarmament treaty with Russia. … Will Obama build on this victory? Is it Obama’s breakthrough as a president? Will it mark his comeback as a reformer? … Is a new era of cooperation beginning?”
“The opposite is much more probable, namely that the disarmament treaty will be Obama’s last significant achievement for a long time. In January, the new Congress will convene. The new representatives who won in the midterm elections will come to Washington, including those Tea Party activists who have little interest in making compromises with Obama. With them, Congress will move to the right …. Possibly the only reason why so many Republicans voted for Obama’s law was because they themselves fear the new era and see few chances of passing sensible, bipartisan laws in the new Congress.”
If President Obama had any grasp on reality, he’d make that “L” shape with his thumb and forefinger and hold it up in front of his forehead.

Why do you think the lefties always applaud liberal losers? They applaud the losers' ability to advance the socialist agenda. What in the hell makes you think Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are losers? Look at all the damage they've done just in the last two years. The commies have been advancing the socialist agenda for 80 plus years and most of it with our help. They are so close to the tipping point in this country that they can taste it and it wouldn't take much more for them to gain the kind of control they really want. This is no time for us to think that we've won the war and now we can go back to sleep, that's just what they want. Remember, this war is for real and it's for keeps! From this moment forward, if we wish to remain more than a historical footnote, we (constitutional conservatives) must remain vigilant. We must remain engaged.
If one of the most devoted German magazines like the SPIEGEL talks about him that way, it must be really alarming to him. Even if this is only because he is not leftist enough for all those brainwashed zombies here in my country.
For all fans of the People's Cube in here I want to recommend its German version:

Happy New Year and God bless America!
What and interesting dichotomy the Germans are; brilliant yet malleable. From "he's a savior" to "he's a loser". Sucks when you're not in the mood for an "I told you so!".
Merkel Vs Urkel.
The grudge match continues.
My fellow Tea Party will have to educate my cousins in Germany that Obama is an idiot. We can remind Germany that if my cousins Hitler and Goebbels can bamboozle a nation of my German cousins, then the lame stream media can sucker enough Americans to elect Obama. However, the Tea Party speaks and the people learn that truth.
Now if we can just get the Germans to stop believing Al Gore's shit!
I'm glad to hear that even liberal maniacs like the Germans are sick of Obama, even if it IS for all the wrong reasons. Angry Tea Party? Hell yes! You want me to stop being angry? It's quite simple. Obey the Constitution. All of it. I'll be the happiest Tea Party member you ever saw.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Hear that, Germany? That's the sound of Russia turning the knob and shutting off your supply of natural gas, you morons.
". . . sensible, bipartisan laws in the new Congress."?
Reeeeeaaaaaaallllllly?
Ain't no such thing.
"Congress has ratified the New START disarmament treaty with Russia. … Will Obama build on this victory?"
Victory??? WTF? He is being played like piano by the Russians. They are laughing their ass off at this dimwit. The Germans should be a bit nervous too. Oh as good libtards they are sure the Russians will play nice with them even though we will be unable to defend them.
So far the Chinese, Iranians, Mexicans, and Chavez, et al, have us by the gonads, may as well the Rooski's too. Notice I said us, OBozo doenst have any gonads. I expect the Russians will be squeezing the Germans nads in a year or two as well.
Anything that screws the US is considered a "victory" by the foreign press.
To Obama: Herzlichen glückwunsch, sie sind ein verlierer auf mehreren kontinenten!
To IHTM.com: genial aufnahme des wortes "fakir!"
To liberal Germans: sie noch suck wie durch ihre kriterien für warum Obama war ein verlierer in 2010! Ich bin froh, daß er war ein verlierer aus diesen gründen.
Not sure what you said, but it dosn't look like Merry Christmas!
