— Purple Avenger I thought we were supposed to take the European feelings seriously? Or was that before they became ummm...inconveniently inconvenient.
...And there is considerable disdain for the rhetoric of President Obama and his advisers regarding Germany's export-orientated economic progress. Particular derision is reserved for the rhetoric of Nobel prize-winner Paul Krugman, who with his recent diatribes against an allegedly inflationary bias in German policies is widely regarded in Berlin as somewhat imbalanced.1 "Transparent" == "buffoonish and clown like"
"Obama is becoming increasingly transparent1," says one satisfied German official. "With his arguments that we should become a bit less reliant on exports and allow the others to catch up, he's just trying to weaken us. Well, we're not going to take his advice." ...

"Obama is becoming increasingly transparent," says one satisfied German official.
In Germany a public official is categorized as either "satisfied" or itching to invade Poland.

He promised the most transparent administration ever. Finally, a campaign promise he will keep!

I'm betting that very few fairway-deprived nations get a state visit from this President.

Yeah the EUtopians are perversely less beholden to racial PC dogma than we are because they use the US as their whipping boy on race matters....so they'll call a free spending economic neophyte "Obama" and his chief enabler "Krugman".......
we'll pussyfoot around calling a spade a spade.

Wow.. how unexpectedly expected!
Well, when the Germans are telling you your an idiot because you keep advocating a socialist state, you know something absolutely bizarre is happening.
It's like an episode of the twilight zone, Europe, who has spent the last couple of decades at least deriding us for being "uncivilized" because we didn't have the same budget busting socialist programs they did have suddenly realized that their "road to social utopia" was actually a long steep slope into a ditch full of dung.
Now their trying to put the brakes on and reverse course, and our glorius leader keeps trying talk them out of it. You can't even write stuff that ironic as fiction.

So. It would seem that the bloom is off the European socialist rose. I guess it's back to bolshevism.
And Barry was so hoping to do this without becoming a Marxist/Stalinist dictator.

36 Maddog,
the cynic in me thinks they were thrilled at the prospect of a weakened America, the realist in me knows they are now bothered by how high the price tag of a weakened America will be.

Pretty much on the subject of bafoonery:
VDH gives a pretty damned cogent summation of the last 2000 years of history:

Gotta give the Euros credit, though. They can sure see everyone else's problems, and are always ready to pass along advice.
If you can't clean up your own dogshit, you have no right to tell anyone else to pick up their pooch's poop.

They don't even have to call Krugman names when he is given advice from a country that had apprentice hookers working within a cap.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

You know you have problems when the Germans are calling you crazy.
We will know the problem has reached a boiling point when the Germans start talking about a "Krugman Corridor"

This is nothing but a drumbeat to war on the part of the Germans. This is why we need to allow Iran to develop its own nuclear arsenal. Who else will act as a counterbalance against a newly resurgent Germany? Russia? I think not. They carved up Poland.
With Iran's nuclear weapons program rests the future of a free Europe.

My hypothesis is that, in the good, old days of communism and totalitarianism the state had to have overwhelming control over the citizens and their information sources to maintain the illusion of the success of the state. Today's media have come to two conclusions from that: 1) It was the resource drain of that propaganda effort that caused the collapse of the state and 2) that in America we have millions and millions of academics, businessmen, students and workers who have willingly and totally self-indoctrinated themselves, freeing the state from the propaganda costs. That is to say, the 20% to 25% who think Obama is doing a great job, that are satisfied with the direction of the country have so perfectly and totally immersed themselves in the illusion of the possibility of a perfect socialist state that they are immune to any contrary information no matter how overwhelming and irrefutable. And they have, with MFM being of that cadre, determined that the core blind support of any socialist policy will be a base of operations from which to slowly and inevitably grind the rest of America under.
They are and have taken the long view on this--they are not seeing a victory in 3, 5, 10 or 20 years--they simply do not care how long it will take. They've been at this for 100+ years already, they will wait another 100 if they have to--and every day, another small victory here, a subtle takeover there. That's what they see over the last 100 years: a steady march in their direction--even with the setbacks of the Reagan and Bush years, they have kept winning.
And now, they don't care; they are moving into open and blatant confrontation because they know they control vital bases of operation that for us to assault would also weaken us.

They're just waiting for us to annex Austria Canada and choice parts of Czechoslovakia Mexico. It's the familiar script, after all.
Though at the rate things are going, the Mexico thing may be the best of bad options...

"With his arguments that we should become a bit less reliant on exports and allow the others to catch up, he's just trying to weaken us. Well, we're not going to take his advice."
Well, duh. Example A: "Let's make a pledge to do public financing, John".
The Germans have pretty much figured out by this point that Obama thinks agreements and promises are for chumps. And unlike the Obama Party establishment and the squishy RINOs like McCain, they are willing to call out the little black snot on his misbehavior.

83 I think they did, until they realized that a frakked America meant a mighty frakked Europe too.
What's that German word for how I'm feeling right now? Jeez, my memory is going...oh yeah..."schadenfreude"...yeah, that's it; that's what I'm feeling.
I'm feeling mighty "schadenfreude-ish" over any bad news from our European betters as of late. Pass me the Val U Rite, "das vidania my gulag comrades".

Krugman isn't unbalanced. He's just a bad propagandist, with a vagina on his face.
