Obama Bashing in Bavaria and Paris US President Barack Obama says Turkey’s future is in the European Union. Not everyone agrees. Numerous politicians in Germany have gone on the attack, and even French President Sarkozy is unimpressed. Now that Obama is in Turkey, however, some political camps — particularly in Germany — have discovered the political efficacy of Obama bashing. While in Ankara, Obama reiterated his support for Turkish membership in the European Union. That doesn’t sit well with some. “Turkey is bound to Europe by more than bridges over the Bosporus,” Obama told the Turkish parliament. “Centuries of shared history, culture and commerce bring you together. And Turkish membership would broaden and strengthen Europe’s foundation once more.” It is a sentiment not universally shared in Europe. A number of politicians, particularly in Germany, went on the offensive. “It is a meddling in the internal affairs of Europe,” Bernd Posselt, a member of the European Parliament from Bavarian’s CSU. “The EU is not Obama’s plaything. He should accept Turkey as America’s 51st state instead,” he continued. Indeed, Sarkozy was quick to reject Obama’s support for Turkish EU membership. Speaking after the US president said in Prague that membership for Turkey would “ensure we continue to anchor Turkey firmly in Europe,” Sarkozy said: “I have been working hand in hand with President Obama, but when it comes to the European Union it is up to member states to decide.” |

Obama est tellement interventionniste qu’il intervient dans la politique d’autres pays.
Well, Obama ne devrait pas se meler de la politique de l’UE. A moins qu’il veut devenir aussi impopulaire que Bush aupres des europeens. Ils ont leurs raisons pour refuser l’entree de la Turquie au sein de l’UE. Et je soupconne que l’une d’elle est Chypre.
De quoi j’ me mêle!
Comme dit Bernd Posselt, tant qu’à faire, j’appuie la candidature de la Turquie à devenir le 51e état des USA.
La Turquie n’a pratiquement aucun lien culturel avec l’Europe. C’est un gros pays populeux, musulman, et seulement une parcelle de son territoire se situe en Europe (Istanbul).
Obama is a stealth Muslim. He practically said so in his idiotic books. He’s not a Christian – and neither is Jeremiah Wright, so 20+ years of attendance at Wright’s « church » is meaningless.
Obama has already signalled that he wants more Muslims in the USA by his plan to open-up immigration to the murderous, terrorist-loving Palestinians…The ones who are so « oppressed » by the Israelis.
So look to the number of Muslims in America to increase. And, concomitantly, look to civil strife in those areas where they are most heavily concentrated.
Unlike Mr. Obama, or our previous President, I don’t swallow the baloney about Islam being a « religion of peace ». Nor do I listen to the hog-wash about us NOT being at war with Islam.
Islam has declared war on the West; only fools like Hillary Clinton, or Muslim subversives like Obama will publicy deny this. The rest of us do it at our own peril.
I urge all real Americans (ie, those who believe in our Constitution, and in American exceptionalism) to keep an eye on their homes and especially their neighborhoods. Find out if and when Muslims move in, and what they’re doing. And REFUSE to be cowed by their threats, legal or otherwise.
Are all Muslims terrorists? No. But 99.99% of all terrorists are Muslims, and their terrorist activity is NOT incidental to their faith. Islam is absolutely incompatible with the freedoms we cherish and enjoy in the West. Our way of life, and the Islamic way of life CANNOT co-exist peacefully. That doesn’t mean we seek them out, and commit random acts of violence against them. But it DOES mean we need to take a harder stance against Muslims who want to immigrate to the USA. They need to understand that we don’t value their thoughts on religion, or Sharia Law. They need to understand that if they want to live here, they MUST value our way of life – Or stay home in Craplakistan.
Mr. Obama has neither the balls, nor the inclination to follow such a course of action. He despises his own country for perceived slights regarding his race, despite the fact that the country has bent over backwards to propel him (and his annoying wife) over the backs of others into the Ivy League and beyond PRECISELY because of his race, not because of any real personal achievements (he has none). He will continue to blame America for the rest of the world’s problems, and he will embrace those who dislike America (Hugo Chavez, Raoul Castro, Muslim loonies) because he agrees with them.
It is shameful that >50% of our country was either too stupid or too naive to elect such a man to our highest office. It is even more frightening when one considers that his true loyalties lie with our mortal enemies in the Muslim world.
C’est bon ! Bien dit !
On ne peut être d’accord avec Sarko 100% du temps, mais son franc parler est terriblement rafraîchissant dans le domaine de la politique…
Pour ce qui est d’Obama, beaucoup de contenant pour peu de contenu dans la campagne… et maintenant qu’il fournit un peu de contenu, je crois que plusieurs commencent à remettre en question leur choix.
Au-delà des questions culturelles, religieuses, économiques ou sécuritaires, l’adhésion de la Turquie à l’UE est très mal accueillie par plusieurs milieux parce qu’on y voit une tentative d’affaiblir l’Europe étant donné tous les bouleversement qu’une Turquie musulmane et autoritaire de 73 millions d’habitants amènerait. Et qui profiterait de cet affaiblissement selon eux? Les États-Unis.
Alors là, voir Obama pousser, c’est vu comme plus que de l’ingérence, mais bien la preuve que les USA soutiennent ouvertement l’affaiblissement de l’Union.
Et puis, tant qu’à être nommé sur ce billet (ce que je trouve très flatteur en passant), j’ajoute de quoi:
Washington Post
AP
Il y a aussi le fait qu’Obama veut continuer le projet de bouclier anti-missile en Pologne et République Tchèque.
Il n’avait pas dit « change »?
deter, your great! Tu mérite ta citation par David.
Et c’est quoi cette histoire de break syndicale? Si tu veux prendre des vacances, David, t’as qu’a le dire…
D’ici à ton retour, Joyeuses Pâques!
Essentiellement Obama applique sur le plan international les mêmes politiques que Bush.C’est simplement l’emballage qui change. Mais la go-gauche est contente et continue à croire et à se faire croire qu’Obama est pas comme Bush!!!
I aggree with you on that one. I beleive that the Australian PM several months ago stated what are the values of Australia and Australians and indicated that if you do not like them, well, you can go back to your former country or go eleswhere. And the Netherlands did a video at the intention of the Muslims communities, where it shows topless women. If a Muslim wants to come to a western country, well, he/she needs to adapt. Not us.

Ce l’était !
Je ne suis pas anti-Turquie mais la question est de dire où se termine l’Europe? Pourtant, même l’Union Européenne n’a trouvé aucune réponse à cette réponse.
Soit dit, j’ai l’impression qu’Obama et ses conseillers ne sont pas très bons en relations internationales. De voir la tactique d’Obama quant au Vénézuela ou par rapport à l’Iran me fait beaucoup penser à la doctrine Carter. Malgré, son supposé rapprochement, les gains ont été nuls et l’Iran continue à son jouer son petit jeu en montrant qu’Obama est un quasi-clown.
@derteil:
Remarquez qu’Obama n’est pas un grand connaisseur en politique internationale malgré qu’il est considéré comme un citoyen du monde par nos gentils médias. On critique certains Républicains d’être pas de grands voyageurs même on réalise que la vision de l’Europe d’Obama se résume principalement à pas grand chose. Malheureusement, je commence à me douter que ces conseillers sont fort probablement médiocres (et peut-même les mêmes que Michael Moore, qui sait, qui montrent Cuba et le Canada comme des paradis comparé aux méchants États-Unis).
