Commie Heartache: European Socialists Disavow Barack Obama…

Via GQ:

At a Mitt Romney event yesterday in Rochester, N.H., the two guys sitting next to me were both wearing hipster framed glasses and fitted sweaters — they looked, to put it mildly, much dandier than your typical Republican primary voter. “We’re from Denmark, which is in this sense a totally socialist, liberal country,” Tejs Laustsen Jensen, a lobbyist from Copenhagen, told me. His friend was Peter Strauss, a political consultant. Following the event, two of the first five people I button-holed for interviews begged off, explaining they were observers from another country. It turns out there are election watchers here from all over the world — Japan, the Netherlands, Britain, Ireland and New Zealandaccording to the Washington Times — as guests of the U.S. embassy for a program meant to illuminate the American political system.

Strauss and Laustsen Jensen were also here for the 2010 midterm elections and, like the rest of us, they’re a bit bored so far by this go-around. “There’s not that much intensity to it,” Laustsen Jensen told me. “There’s sort of an air of inevitability about Romney and the rest of them in some way know it’s going to be Romney. Nobody at this event or the other events really seems to want this guy. It’s more like, ‘OK, we’re going to support him because he’s going to be the nominee anyway.’ He seems so correct it’s almost boring.”

And how do our foreign guests feel about conservative accusations that Obama is a socialist? “That’s laughable, really laughable,” Strauss said. “It doesn’t make any sense, it’s not a good criticism of Obama and it shows they don’t understand Obama at all. You may think he’s on the wrong path to ensuring those things and that he has wrong ideas but that he says, ‘Oh it’s a great morning today, the sun is shining over the rose garden, let’s go kill some jobs!’ is ridiculous.”

    is it just me? That comment just doesn’t make any sense to me. Is he simply saying that Obama is so far from his ‘purist Socialism’ for him to recognize Obama in that sense?

    Arguing that Obama’s thrust in office was/is not a Socialist effect is absurd..

    Denmark….hmmmm…let me think. Oh yeah, some little country the U.S. saved from the Nazis because they couldn’t take care of themselves. From what I understand, they have a little crappy economy smaller than that in Texas. Screw them. They cannot imagine the greatness of the U.S., or the responsibility that goes with that greatness.

    I think they may have meant that he isn’t a European-style Socialist, but instead something worse.

    I think he’s a full-fledged Soviet-style Marxist. And the thought of what he will do in a second term is terrifying. If he would pull this recess-appointment without a Senate Recess stuff and dare anyone to do anything about it, what will he do when he no longer has to worry about re-election?

    @Nancy

    He will do whatever he fucking pleases because law means nothing, the Constitution less than nothing and his wishes (and those of the wookie) are the only thing that matters. As an aside, now that Reid has sold the senate to the Kenyan there are no breaks on the flywheel. When the senate gives up its prerogatives in order to please this Kenyan asshole you know the game is over.

    As Bob Dylan said: “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

    I don’t know what hair these guys were splitting, but anyone can see that Obullshit is a liar and a commie/socialist/Marxist pig.
