Ingratitude

You and I and all our neighbors have, at huge expense, dispatched our president to "The South of France"  for purposes of advising Europe on its debt problems. It's his second day there, and we have yet to receive one token of thanks from the Old World -- not a wedge of brie, nary a Black Forest cuckoo clock nor a jug of olive oil.

I believe I speak on behalf of the entire nation in expressing shock at this slight.

It is no comfort to side with the sorehead who remarks that having Barack Obama as a financial advisor is much like having Lindsay Lohan as your substance abuse counsellor.

Note to the editors of America: Do you really believe referring to it as "The South of France" make you seem all cosmopolitan and jet-setty?  Okay, then the next time His Obamaness flies into Ardmore, we want to hear you report that he arrived in the South of Oklahoma.

I note that no mention has been made of a trip to visit the American cemetery at Normandy.

Perhaps there's a concern that some of the many American honored dead buried there might rise up and kick the crap out of BHO.

You could have stopped right there and had the funniest post on the internets today. ;)

How much, I wonder, would it cost the taxpayers to keep him there until it's time for him to hand over the reins of power in 2013?

Surely less than he costs us when he's here.

If the Europeans had a good idea who to trust about finance issues, they wouldn't be in such trouble to begin with. It is thus unsurprising that they're listening to the guy who's been merrily pouring gasoline on our own fiscal conflagration not just since he was sworn in as president, but indeed in one form or another for his entire adult life.
