Lol, meanwhile the cons moan about Europe (ie Germany) being soft on Iran. Now they tell us how great friends we are and that we shouldn't spy on them even though we always have. The schizophrenic right - its quite entertaining to watch them contort into whatever position is opposite Obama.

Can't make up their minds.

I mean, people regard Germany as a "staunch ally?" Lol..WTH are they smoking?

It's a relationship of convenience...that's about it. Germany cares about Europe. We're just a nation that provides them subsidized security, and a place to ship their exports to.

Nothing more, nothing less.

There actually is truth in this. For example, Obama built his campaign on lie after lie. Even after the Washington Post caught him lying about the circumstances of his mother's death he continued the lie knowing it was scoring political points and that most of the media wouldn't cover it and the sheep that did hear that it was a lie would just excuse it away.

But now that Obama is the most disingenuous person ever to be president (largely the fault of the sheep and media refusing to hold him accountable for his lies - encouraging him to lie more) people are starting to get turned off. Hence why his net approval rating has now fallen 69% on Gallup.

I didn't know approval ratings were all that important at this point. Is he running for reelection again?

I know one thing...his approval ratings are higher than President Romney's and President McCain's! LMAO

The irony of this is almost too much -- it seems like only yesterday that the idiot in the Blight House was campaigning over in Germany (yes, he "found out about the fact that Germany is NOT one of the 57 US states from the media, but I digress), and the Germans were fawning over him.

Why, I don't know.

The Germans are finding out what the rest of us have known for a while: BarackO The Whacko™ is a media creation, a fundraiser, a reader of speeches. But not a leader.

How long did it continue after the last President put this Nation in a war that cost us a fortune and tax dollars and American lives?

Everyone with even half a freakin brain knows full well that the US intelligence services have been running completely out of control since at least the 60s. It's long past time they were stomped upon by their civilian overseers.

Apparently the WH no longer does daily briefings. They just turn the 6:00 News on Obama's iPad and call it a day.

Hopefully this gets covered on the news tonight. The Germans are so pissed they have ordered a US intelligence chief out of the country.
Germany orders US intelligence chief out of country
Maybe you have a little too much faith in the media.

Don't believe everything you hear these days.
