Obama’s early success causes the Moderate Voice to muse:
Watching America was launched during Bush’s presidency, and most of the content it has had to work with from around the world has (therefore) been negative toward the U.S., but almost without exception, the superficially anti-American news and views from Chile to China, Argentina to Australia, hav always been at their core, decidedly pro-American: op-eds that complain about the U.S. very rarely call for wholesale change in what America is, but rather, a return of America to itself – to its own, American, values. The world broadly agrees with Bush on that one: American values are human values.
Obama is lifting the lid on this heretofore latent global pro-Americanism. His skin color and lack of experience do not change the fact that Obama is the truly American choice to many of the pundits and commentators who are looking in at the ‘08 election process from the outside – and that is why the world’s press is beginning to use such words as “Hopes†and “Dreams†as much as is the Obama campaign.ÂÂ
You’ll be hearing much more about latent global pro-Americanism in the coming months, so we’ll just be referring to it as LGPA, here.
I almost posted this one myself. By “truly American choice,” they mean, “most in tune with the Left.” By which they mean, “European.”
Exactly, Karl.
Obama’s skin color doesn’t change the fact that he’s the truly American choice is what the Moderate Voice says even though if Obama were white that’s not what the Moderate Voice would be saying at all.
BINGO, Karl. We have a winner!
Dan,
OT, but icymi, your Glenn Beck post has been driving loads of Google-based traffic.
I’m sure they’ll be fair. They’ll cover the whole range. They’ll ask: “America racist? Or just Islamophobic and homophobic?”
Europe ups the ante.
Obama is the truly American choice
Even if that was true, which I find dubious, how’s that different than Kerry’s “foreign leaders” crack? How is that a positive campaign slogan –
Vote Obama, because the French like him!
We should probably keep not mentioning that Obama is as white as he is black. Half, that is.
I already know the world is massively pro- U.S..
They wouldn’t be showing up here in Utah on construction sites, retail stores, colleges, and software companies to explain it to me, otherwise.
One america. Love it bitches.
right on cue we get andy demonstrating exactly what the Left believes defines “One America”
Kinda like how Stalin defined what made for the Authentic Comrad (as he slaughtered millions of the inauthentic ones)
or as David Fascist sez as he gleefully hopes for the Anthropogenic Global Warming Goddess to smite the non-Leftist scum
Andy, David, et al are happiest when grinding their boots into the face of those that don’t kiss their ideological ass.
Not to be confused with the LPGA…
One America?
Edwards has the other one up on eBay?
So I’m sort of confused here. Is the Moderate Voice basically saying the left has been lying all along about the world hating the U.S. during the Bush administration? That’s my take away from it.
“They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems…”
Heh.
Really, it’s an anti-American Euro’s dream come true.
Hillary gets elected -> America is racist.
Obama gets elected -> America is sexist.
Any Republican gets elected -> America is sexist AND racist.
Heads we win, tails you lose. And unlike nuclear warfare we can’t win by not playing..
“right on cue we get andy demonstrating exactly what the Left believes defines “One America—
Thats edwards and “two americas.” Obama is definitely going for the mushy middle with his “one america” cheese.
RACIST!!!
