Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Coop: The translation from Breezie’s somewhat hackneyed German is: “Now is not the time to question our Great Leader” (interesting use of the word Fuhrer, which gives most modern Germans the chills).
[/quote]Oh dear God…I need to pack my parachute tonight and prepare to bail. This is positively chilling! Breeze, did you really intend to post this quote? In GERMAN, no less?? Our “Great Leader”?? Until now, I think many of us have merely speculated as to the fascist potential in an Obama administration. But I can see now that this scenario is definitely on the table. Breeze, are you currently being recruited to be in the Obama Youth Group? You’re certainly in the right age bracket 😉

ParticipantThis will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence – la trahison des clercs – in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right.

It is frightening to think there is a real possibility that the entire world economy could go into complete meltdown and famine kill millions. Yet Western – and British – commentators are cocooned in a warm comfort zone of infatuation with America’s answer to Neil Kinnock. We should be long past applauding politicians of any hue: they got us into this mess. The best deserve a probationary opportunity to prove themselves, the worst should be in jail.
It is questionable whether the present political system can survive the coming crisis. Whatever the solution, teenage swooning sentimentality over a celebrity cult has no part in it. The most powerful nation on earth is confronting its worst economic crisis under the leadership of its most extremely liberal politician, who has virtually no experience of federal politics. That is not an opportunity but a catastrophe.
