| Europeans Foresee Their Own Obama Emerging One Day |
| 2008-11-14 |
| WaPo puff piece on B.O. A black child, raised in a modest apartment by a single mother and a nurturing grandmother, becomes a wealthy lawyer who launches a landmark political campaign... You can prob'ly guess the rest. |

| #21 Yeah there you go, he's even ready to go no waiting! Get this story, as a youngster his mom had to go work in a factory when his dad was forced into the military. Born in a city destroyed in WWII and no longer exists, he is the only survivor of three sons and with a little luck he made it into and graduated international law school. Likes to fish. Sounds like a gem to me! |

| #20 On the other hand, why be so pessimistic? Maybe Europe will just be conquered by Russia? That would mostly be an improvement, particularly on the western and southern fringes. |

| #16 They'll feel this way until he chooses not to follow their sage advice on something. Then they'll turn vicious. I give it a year, optimistically. |

| #13 I am actually quite surprised at the Europeans. They keep telling us how cutting-edge and avant-garde they are, but this is just so .. 1930'ish. They've been there, done that. Worked out so well, too... Maybe they should consider how many long years it took them to clear the rubble from their last vote for CHANGE? |

| #11 Having Zero eelcted was like opening the floodgates of multiculturalfantasies from the Enlightened Elites... hence the "european obama" thingie; on a more sinister and less silly side, this also has notched up the demands of the "minorities", who now can use the US example to ask for mo'. |

| #10 It is claimed Europeans foresee many wonderful things. And it must be admitted that the probability of this one is slightly north of zero, although I'm sure the Rantburg statisticians could better calculate how many zeros there are to the right of the decimal in that number. |

| #7 Jan -- #2 Hell why wait, take our big zero, we'll give him to you for free. Early out of the gate -- the best snark on this subject -- and maybe for the day! |

| #1 Perhaps the Europeans might want to wait and see how our version of this grand experiment turns out.... |
