President Obama has been on a weeklong trip to Europe, ahead of the G8 meeting. In 2008, Obama The Messiah spoke to throngs in Berlin. In 2011, Obama The Mortal showed up in Dublin and London. Some of my favorite highlights from the Bama's trip so far:
His presidential limo, nicknamed "The Beast," got stuck on a ramp in Dublin. It's supposed to withstand a terrorist or nuclear attack, but an exit ramp? Not so much. If Bush's limo had bottomed out while abroad, David Letterman would have a yearlong field day.
Michelle Obama got caught in the wind, which blew her hair up into something resembling Ed Grimley ("I must say!") or Cameron Diaz's character in "There's Something About Mary."
The Bama went to a pub, swilled some Guinness, and made what reporters called "an Irish face." I'm Irish. I have no idea what that is.
He then moved on to London, where he played ping-pong with British Prime Minister David Cameron. No word if beer was involved.
He screwed up his toast to Queen Elizabeth. (Hey Liz: that's still better than that God-awful iPod loaded with his own speeches that he gave you last time, isn't it?)
And he signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey, "Barack Obama, 24 May 2008." 2008? That's like saying the U.S. has 57 states. Oh wait, he already did that... It seems it's time for the Bama's "handlers" to replace his batteries.
An interesting aside: the Left was aghast that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke forthrightly to Obama in the Oval Office last week. How dare he defend his nation to Obama's face?! The horror!
Meanwhile, they all laughed when an Iraqi journalist threw his shoe at President Bush.
All of this goes to show that Obama is neither a myth nor a legend. He's just a man, who has cut an incredibly destructive path through the American economy. He is not the Obama of Berlin 2008. (Even HE wasn't the Obama of 2008.) He is the Obama of the blown toast to the Queen and the wrong date by three years.
Obama is often a doofus, but according to the Left-wing media, President Bush, Governor Palin and other conservatives are the only doofi out there. We know better. And we actually know what year it is.
