The Discerning Texan

There have so many embarrasing moments for our country in the last two days, courtesy of "our" President, that they are almost coming in faster that we can report; for our elite media, that does not seem to present a problem--their answer has been to mostly ignore or downplay every disgraceful moment. Fortunately we still have the blogs (for now, anyway) to report the truth.

For example there is the controversy about Obama's drastically different treatment of drastically different foreign dignitaries:



But even that does not approach the humiliation of an American President--representing a country that bailed Europe out of two World Wars--crawling over to the Euros and apologizing for Americas's "sins".

Canadian immigrant Mark Steyn once again reflects the pulse of the American peoplemore than its elite media ever could

It's Come to This

President Obama apologizes to Europe.

I think I preferred him when he had his butt in the air and was staring at King Abdullah's shoes.

(As George V, rex et imperator 1910-36, said, "Only waiters bow at the waist.")

Jim Hoft adds:

The Sydney Morning Herald reported on the bow.
But, the US mainstream media has ignored President Obama bowing to the Saudi king.

More from The Anchoress:

We know next-to nothing about this man, Barack Obama, because the lapdog press would ask him nothing beyond, “what makes you so great?” We’ve never seen so much as a college transcript or a college essay. We only know who his friends were, and they…well, they were not great friends to America. And he bowed to the Saudi king. Deeply. And he is moving fast to control about 30% of the economy.

That, umm…almost doesn’t matter anymore. In his first 100 days, Obama will have dismantled our economy and our capitalist structure for the other model. I told you the coup would be nearly painless, and here we are.

Oh, and while Obama was in Europe, it was the 60th Anniversary of Truman signing The Marshall Plan. But no one mentioned that at the G20. The greatness and generosity of America went unremarked upon. “Submission Accomplished”. But boy, he sure does have a great smile.
