The Europeans.

Look how sweet this continent is.

Ah, Europe. The land of many of our ancestors. A fine continent. When I think of Europe, I think of beautiful contrysides, stunning beaches, food, wine, history, smoking, and of course...my second favorite currency, the Euro. What a trendy name for a currency. Way cooler than the Franc, Pound, Lira, or whatever the hell else they used to have over there. If our money in America hasn't been so cool for so long, (and Abe Lincoln wasn't on the five-dollar bill) then I would say the Euro is the best. I love the colored money thing they got going on over the pond. Plus, you won't find a better continent for America to bully around, except for: Asia, Australia, Africa, Antarctica, and definitely South America. If we didn't bully all those other continents so well, we would definitely bully Europe like 5th most.


See. I had you didn't I? You thought I was going to blog about Europe. Nope. Wrong. More politics. Let's talk about the Europeans. They have fought in more wars than in a George Bush wet dream. They have been doing the whole politics thing for longer than a beautiful, eloquent, concise, magnificent Willaim Jefferson Clinton convention speech. Europe is where the idea of democracy was born. And Europe knows what is good. They know what the world needs. And contrary to all of us Bacharach fans, the world needs much more than just love, sweet love. The world needs politicians who are willing to use diplomacy in order to achieve goals that benefit all peoples. The world needs a 'Merican president who can get tens of thousands to Germans to gather to hear him speak about leadership and unity. We all know just how much you Germans like to be whipped into a fever pitch by great orators. (Come on Germany, you aren't gonna live down the Hitler or the holocaust thing for another three centuries, just get used to it.) For the numerous Jewish people currently reading my blog, don't be mad at me for bringing up the holocaust. I am writing this from a coffeeshop in Squirrel Hill, so we are friends.


But now, somehow the Republicans are using Obama's popularity against him. Apparently it is a really bad thing for other countries to actually like Obama. I mean, if our president isn't a good ol' boy from the South, how is he going to smooth talk the other countries at the G8 summit? I don't know why they are so against a political celebrity. When someone speaks about important topics and issues, not just American issues, but issues that every country faces on a daily basis, people will listen. The Republicans are going to turn Obama gathering 80,000 people to hear him speak at Invesco Field into a bad thing. How is that a bad thing? Getting people interested in politics is an amazing feet. A feet that Obama seems to accomplish with every speech. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and read the speech for which many demanded that he run for president...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19751-2004Jul27.html.


You need that in your life.
