Yes, with all the problems the world has this is the right thing to focus on.

Well, to be fair, it doesn't look like he had his teleprompter there. Remembering stuff is hard. Much easier to just repeat the same thing over and over again. After all, "hope and change" got him elected in the first place.

it seems that the economy is recovering, housing and construction is rebounding. unemployment is shrinking. manufacturing is growing. the only thing to complain about is the price of oil that's been exacerbated by Israel's threats to bomb Iran and some greed speculators. but that's not Obama's fault.

WHY DOES THE RECOVERY HATE AMERICA?

The Weekly Standard is in charge of Danish TV? They control the commentators there?

0bama's teleprompter obviously wasn't loaded with the updated scripts, but 0bama was smart enough to change the name of the country when he realized the mistake.

It's funny that the Smartest President Ever™ did that, and of course Obama fanboys will cry like little girls at someone actually making an Obama joke. As usual.

Go wear a hoodie or something.

The right wing truly is pathetic these days. I understand they have nothing to offer in the arena of ideas and plans for governance, but the constant stream of poutrage and victimhood is really annoying. Want to be relevant? stop whining about retarded shiat and start innovating.

That's antisemetic, they're not threats they're self defense statements, and they're not bombs they're rapidly expanding greeting cards.

No but it's rather asinine and sophomoric to nail that on one POTUS when he had 8 years of cluster fark to fix.

I'd have to say it's going pretty good for me, too. And as far as all the bad stuff like debt and unemployment, I'm going to pull out the time-honored, free-market-uber-alles, wunderCapitalist statement and say,"I got mine, so fark you."

Sure... this is clearly the Danish fault, the right wing are victims once again being blamed for years of complaining about nonsensical issues to the point where it's almost satirical when the whole time it's been this Danish news reporter.

Fair enough.. except that it was Danish reporters that noticed this. Apparantly they see it as a sign that they might not be much respected by the administration. That's not so good for the new smart diplomacy we have.

AbbeySomeone: Yes, with all the problems the world has this is the right thing to focus on.

It is the Netherlands

Yes, it would have been better if Obama had just been honest and stated that your little country doesn't really make much of a difference in terms of contributions.

And since when does the Weekly Standard give a shait about what the international community thinks, let alone some Dutch television personality? Oh yeah, a Democrat got elected.

ELEGANT VARIATION

WE include under this head all substitutions of one word for another for the sake of variety, and some miscellaneous examples will be found at the end of the section. But we are chiefly concerned with what may be called pronominal variation, in which the word avoided is either a noun or its obvious pronoun substitute. The use of pronouns is itself a form of variation, designed to avoid ungainly repetition; and we are only going one step further when, instead of either the original noun or the pronoun, we use some new equivalent. 'Mr. Gladstone', for instance, having already become 'he,' presently appears as 'that statesman'. Variation of this kind is often necessary in practice; so often, that it should never be admitted except when it is necessary. Many writers of the present day abound in types of variation that are not justified by expediency, and have consequently the air of cheap ornament. It is impossible to lay down hard and fast rules, but two general principles may be suggested: (1) Variation should take place only when there is some awkwardness, such as ambiguity or noticeable monotony, in the word avoided. (2) The substitute should be of a purely pronominal character, a substitute and nothing more; there should be no killing of two birds with one stone. Even when these two requirements are satisfied, the variation is often worse, because more noticeable, than the monotony it is designed to avoid.

See also the entry in Modern English Usage, which is probably the more famous one.

The party of George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Rick Perry is going to criticize the current president for his speaking? Tell me how that turns out, OK? Better yet, have somebody a little more articulate tell me how that turns out.

That's an unfair assumption that Grampa Simpson and Ellie Mae Clampett couldn't do a good job running the country. Sure, under McCain, we'd probably be involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, North Korea, North Dakota, and that biatch waitress at Denny's who told him they didn't have Cream of Wheat, but Sarah would have gotten to be Princess America.

Nah, Denmark/Danes don't care. It was mentioned as something amusing about Obama, not because we felt insulted about recieving the same compliments as Norway or the Netherlands.

I mean, it was a compliment. Thanks, he noticed us.
