President of the Europe?

Larry Sabato, national pollster, called it the "magical mystery tour". About 200,000 Berliners of Germany drank free beer enjoying the closest thing they know to Jesus' return which was witnessing Senator Obama's "Messiah Tour". Having met commanders on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq for the first time, the Senator's second leg of the "Messiah Tour" planted him where Reagan said "tear down this wall".

So what propelled the Senator to take this world tour 100 days before his presidential election?

• Shore up a sparse foreign policy resume'
• look presidential
• create a picture of inevitability back home
• pretend his judgment is better than Senator McCain's

Will it work? It remains to be seen. But could Alfred Hitchcock have written a better twilight-zone script than to have an American candidate campaigning on European soil for the United States' Presidency?

Crowds by the hundreds of thousands, sit at Senator Obama's feet waiting to be fed promises from a politician promising to be different than all of the others. An entire continent of materialists congregating to draw spiritual nourishment seemingly. So what do good Europeans do to be fed? Dump the church, and look to Senator Obama in outdoor rallies for vitality and life. Of course, an American politician will give you answers and promises to make you feel better, right?

This kind of hope has not buzzed about in Europe in quite a while. Two bloody wars on European soil during the 20th century has destroyed what Os Guiness described as "Optimistic Humanism" that so boldy asserted itself in Parisian cafes in the early 20th century. Whatever hope remained in Europe after two world wars, intellectual European heroes destroyed by displacing theism with materialistic secularism. The pantheon of philosophers of Sarte, Camus, Nietsche, Voltaire, Hume, Marx, Rousseax, and Diderot were the death knell of hope.

That is until Senator Barak Obama.

In an "I can't explain moment" of quasi-religious fever, Europeans have thrown themselves at Senator Obama. Its as if Europe's spiritual vacuum has sucked up Obama's promises of better days...glory days...when America will be reduced and the world will become one. As Ezra Pound in the 1930's declared about the modern age of engineering, mathematics, and sculpture "Down with the old-in with the new!" Obama's visit is as close to a spiritual encounter with heaven Europeans have encountered since Whitfield and Wesley.

So what are Americans to take away from Senator Obama's royal tour of the Middle East and Europe? Are the American people to believe that Senator Obama will finally have the experience and judgment necessary to be President of the United States after touring the world meeting with Zarkosy of France, Merkel of Germany, Karzai of Afghanistan, Gordon Brown of Britan, etc...?

Or should Americans take heed when hardened Europeans flock to an American candidate to sit under his feet while they drink beer and listen to a political platitutes about unity, alliances, and togetherness?

This European love-fest is driven by Senator Obama's perceived one-world, all in it together, world order, new age politics that intends to scrap borders, transcend differences, emphasize commonalities, unify the world, and put America in her place. How exactly does the Senatory propopse to accomplish his vision? Josh Bolton, former ambassador to the UN for the Bush administration, is correct. We can only hope that the Senator's words are political posturing for European leftists, and not is actual position on issues.

The Senator first promises to restrain wild-eyed capitalism. Europeans, with double the unemployment rate and a significant deficit in productive ingenuity, cheer at the Senator's promises to regulate economic development. After all isn't it nasty capitalism that is responsible for the woes of modern day citizens? Tax the rich, re-distribute the wealth more evenly, reduce American military operations, scrap free trade agreements, hike taxes, and regulate like a good European central government planner-these are the tenets of European statism.

Why is this good for Senator Obama's friends in Europe who have concocted the EU and this "Citizens of this world" campaign? Lets beat the dead horse:


Europeans received a politician's promise from Senator Obama. He will reduce military operations worldwide. He will tax, spend, and regulate like a good European central government planner. Obama will restrain wild-eyed capitalism, of which Europeans are very disdainful. Obama will promise not to torture bad guys, sign Kyoto, scrap free trade, fight global warming, gut military spending, withdraw American forces, and drill for no oil.

Europeans have never had an opening to diminish American global superiority that has been undiminished since WWII. That is--until now.

What Adaneur, Kohl, and Merkel could not do, what Chirac, Kofi Anan, and Ahmadinejad could not do, European's have found their Trojan Horse in Senator Obama. Its not Russia or China that concerns the bulk of Europeans. Its the capitalist Americans setting boots on the ground whereever they please. Europeans have dreamed of redeeming themselves by riding into Washington D.C. to marginalize, reduce, and diminish America's global power and reach.

When Europeans applaud in unisone about an American candidate, be ware. The fact that Senator Obama has the verbal support of Hezbollah's ranking officials and has high level talks with this organization's leadership during the campaign ought to raise eyebrows. Iran's Ahmadinejad, has joyfully stated his desire to work with an Obama administration. In fact, the Senator is the one he has been praying for. And Lybia's Khadafy, ought to more than raise eyebrows amongst the American electorate. The Iranian leader has decided to pray for the Senator's victory becuase he believes Senator Obama is one with whom he can work with. Should this not make every American feel good about the direction of the Senator's foreign policy?

Strange to the ears of most Americans, Europeans fear American economic and military strength more than Osama Bin Laden's reign of terror. Even Reagan, a hero to millions of Americans to Europeans, was a shallow fear-mongering cowboy actor. Yet, this cowboy actor put Pershings into Europe, reduced taxes, unleashed American ingenuity, demanded the walls come down. He unifed Pope, democracy, and strength of conviction to overcome Soviet totalitarian shadows lurking over Europe.


Yet, these same Berliners and their children, who listened to Reagan's speech to "tear down this wall, Mr. Gorbacev", are the same ones who fear America today as an overpowerful bully on the world's stage causing trouble around the globe. What of Hu Juang's China? Medvedev and Putin's Russia? What of Bin Laden and Islamic extremism? The answer remains appeasement, Chamberlain, Socialism, New World Order, and "One World Government, No Borders, Citizens of the World, etc...America is the giant who must be restrained.


As soon as Senator Obama re-charts the course for America's future, the United Nations will be waiting for the Senator to chart their course as well.
