Do as I Don't, Say as I Didn't
Take a moment to consider these pearls:
"Although I don't want to put artificial timetables on that process, we do want to make sure that, by the end of this year, we've actually seen a serious process move forward".
That's on Iran's nuclear aspirations. So, the end of this year is seven months away. Is that an "artificial" timetable or a "real" one. None of that imitation tinsel for him!
"The danger, I think, is when the United States, or any country, thinks that we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture,"
That's on going to Saudi Arabia and not recognizing the egregious humans rights violations of that country. Somehow he fails to note that historically we have never IMPOSED our values, but always been proud to create the environment in which people's aspirations for the universal values of democracy and freedom can be realized.
(T)he president said he wanted to "open a dialogue" between the West and the Muslim world to overcome what he said were "misapprehensions" on both sides.
Yeah, it's simply a "misapprehension" that Islamic jihadis hijacked airplanes and flew them into the Pentagon and WTC. It must have been the lack of dialogue that drove a boat up to the side of the USS Cole and put a truck in the lobby of the US forces barracks at Khobar Towers. Dating back to the Iranian seizure of our embassy in Teheran it was just a failure to communicate.
It is difficult not to laugh when the first half of nearly every sentence is the opposite of the second half and yet he seems to believe he is uttering profoundly statesmanlike statements.

You could have lumped these two entries together, this one and the Reid Video, under the heading "we got the government we deserve". Given 50+ million morons and X million too fricking lazy to vote morons, we got exactly what we deserve. And I'm getting more and more convinced that a revolution is brewing that will make the French one look like a minor disagreement. Hope I'm wrong.
I am still trying to figure out how someone who hates America so much that all of his overseas trips are virtual apology tours has become president of the USA. The mind boggles. The Members of Congress seem content to let this farce happen, which makes it all the more worisome...it appears the fat men on the hill have handed the reins over to their aides and are just living in luxury in return for not much of anything.
Very depressing.
