Whether youagree with this article or not, you have to agree that it is very cleverly written. -
The Daily Mail (UK) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009.

Obama's Victory--A British view
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom.He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
CongratulationsAmerica! Your funeral will be sooner than you think!
I see so many signs that fill me with trepidation. This article touches upon some of these. One such point is that the socialist leaning economies (for definition purposes, economies where the government share of spending is relatively high with reference to the GDP [produit interior brut {PIB} in French parlance), stultify and result in static class structures. If you are born into a class, there you are destined to remain in these fragile, state-controlled economies. Certainly the path of building up a stash of capital that you then invest entrepreneurially in a new business and move from the position of a poorly paid worker to a successful businessman -- alla Ross Perot, Bill Gates, Steven Jobs, and any number of other examples -- is largely foreclosed or at least made much more difficult in these economies. Where are the Ross Perot's, the Bill Gates's, the Steven Jobs's of France, Germany, Italy? Where are the revolutionary world changing innovations produced by France, Germany, Italy? Semiconductor? US. Integrated circuit? US. Television? US. Mobile Phone? US. I'm not trying to be some gungho, rah-rah, jingoist US cheerleader, but to point out that there are some virtues to the economic system that we have had here versus the socialist-leaning economies of Europe. Regrettably Obama and the democrats seem to be taking us in that direction.
Maybe this explains why Barry dissed the Brit PM with chintzy gifts @ his recent visit... Did I hear corrrectly that Barry sent back the bust of Winston Churchill? Probably made him nervous having a REAL LEADER looking over his shoulder.

You are correct. One of the first things he did was send back the bust, so he could replace it with a bust of Lincoln. Not that a bust of Lincoln is bad, just the whole peeing on the British is.

Now come on, lets be nice to the pres. His media flunkies have stated that he was just too tired to entertain another head of state. After all, Great Britian is just another country, what makes them so special??? Maybe he just needs another hit of bolivian marching powder to pep him back up??? I guess this is what he meant by re-establishing our leadership in the world community.
