I notice that Israel is also singled out (along with everyone else) as among Barry's strongest allies, though not for some reason, as punching above its weight. Copy key on the First Teleprompter's keyboard really must have gotten stuck. On the other hand, "x is among the most y" is a meaningless phrase---the thing that is the least y in the world is also among the most y, just not very high on the list. But I notice that a lot of what Barry Husseinovich says is like that: lots of droning words with no meaning. I guess it lulls the adoring masses to sleep?
ReplyDeleteThe hesitations in The One's speeches tell me that this wasn't the speechwriters' fault. He was using the phrase because he likes it, while speaking "off the cuff".
ReplyDeleteThe "substance" of his meanderings tells me he doesn't know the difference between an ally, a strong ally, and a kumquat. His remark about Israel must have sounded especially strange to the Israelis, considering his actual behavior toward them.
He did however correctly identify ROK as a strong ally. Of course, while he was at the DMZ there yesterday, he looked across it at the DPRK through binoculars, and then railed about how "backward" it was.
Since NK looks a lot like what the U.S. would if his dreams of "green" Utopia come true, I'm not sure what he was complaining about. Unless he's worried that somebody else will figure it out before the election, that is.
I did like the way the various leaders were looking at him, though. I think they've finally figured out that the Most Powerful Man In The World is an overgrown adolescent with a serious reality deficiency.

eon: the leaders of the other countries had better have our Barry figured out. Even though the US is no more exceptional than Greece or the Brits (or anyone else (who punches above his weight?) for that matter), it's still a [expletive] big place. When you're in the middle of things, maybe you don't notice, but when world leaders see this latter-day Phaeton being driven by his chariot into their direction, they'd have to be pretty dense not to know where to stand to be out of the way. And you only have the luxury of being dense if you're leading a country that is exceptional in being big and strong.
