print“Citizen” is how the blood-lusting French Revolutionaries in Charles Dickens’ A Tale Of Two Cities prefaced one another’s names. Think “Citizen Defarge.” That’s what I think of when I hear Obama’s Jacobinisms in Germany:
There have been differences between America and Europe,” Obama said. “No doubt, there will be differences in the future. But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together. A change of leadership in Washington will not lift this burden. In this new century, Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more — not less. Partnership and cooperation among nations is not a choice; it is the one way, the only way, to protect our common security and advance our common humanity.”
Words cannot express Citizen Obama’s audacity, delivering, as he is, stately speeches before hundreds of thousands of Citizens of the World. He arrived at this juncture through the American political process. His funds are a product of the snake oil he sold to Americans. And now he is here assuming, prematurely, that he can speak on their behalf before being given their imprimatur.
Megalomaniac!
Krauthammer’s ‘Who Does He Think He Is?’ captures the man’s mien: the Chutzpa.
Earth’s Citizen Comrade Hope! Messiah Barack is on a roll!
He is following the JFK / Reagan Berlin Bombast tradition, tearing down walls and eliminating injustice around the Globe – such as : “Will we stand for the human rights of the dissident in Burma, the blogger in Iran, or the voter in Zimbabwe? Will we give meaning to the words “never again” in Darfur?”
Who can argue with such magnificent bologna?? Noted critic William “Macbeth” Shakespeare gave this judgement of the Obama Bromide:
“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. And then is heard no more: it is a tale – Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” [Great antidote to B’s banality; let us have a link.–IM]
Here is a link to the relevant scene in Macbeth –
3rd speaking part in Scene 5:

(just googled: full of sound and fury signifying nothing)
Another good term applicable to Citizen Messiah Obama is “World Saver” – a Mencken specialty as in:
” Counting out Harding as a cipher only, Dr. Coolidge was preceded by one World Saver and followed by two more. What enlightened American, having to choose between any of them and another Coolidge, would hesitate for an instant? There were no thrills while he reigned, but neither were there any headaches. He had no ideas, and he was not a nuisance”

Overlords we can believe in
His words are sounding more and more like what the “new world order” “one world government” “Illuminati” theorists have been talking about. Maybe they aren’t so wrong after all…
