“Visiting a region reeling from a migration crisis, economic stagnation and facing the prospect of Britain abandoning the European Union, Obama warned that "progress is not inevitable".If “progress is not inevitable”, neither are ‘progressives’ like Obama and Hillary Clinton “inevitable”. Master of the piggyback, Obama piggybacked onto the rock band Reamonn and reggae artist Patrice during his first visit to Germany in 2008.
“Contrasting the prosperity of Europe today with the wars and hardship of the last century, Obama called on Europeans to reject the "us-versus-them" politics that has fuelled the rise of the far right in countries from Poland to France. (AFP) "Perhaps you need an outsider, somebody who is not European, to remind you of the magnitude of what you have achieved," he said, a day after the anti-immigration far-right triumphed in a presidential vote in Austria.”Obama’s rejection of “us-versus-them” politics paves the way for a North America swallowed whole by the power-obsessed United Nations and a Europe eaten alive by the UN’s ugly stepchild, the European Union.
“Hours before he and Chancellor Angela Merkel were to hold talks with the leaders of Britain, France and Italy, Obama painted today's Europeans as heirs to the popular movements that ended the Cold War. (AFP) "And he also recalled the devastating consequences of "intolerance and extreme nationalism" that drenched Europe in blood during the 20th century.

"In the last century, just twice in 30 years, the forces of empire and intolerance and extreme nationalism consumed this continent and cities like this one were largely reduced to rubble," Obama said. "Tens of millions of men and women and children were killed. “While admitting there could be frustrations with European institutions, he argued that "turning inward" was not the answer to Europe's problems.”Germany survived “extreme nationalism” only to have Chancellor Angela Merkel turn her country over to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who, in some areas, now overwhelm German citizenry, a crisis that Obama hopes will continue
“As rightwing populism gains ground in parts of the continent in response to growing Islamic radicalism, he urged Europe to remain open. (AFP) "I want you to remember that our countries are stronger, they're more secure and more successful when we integrate people of all backgrounds and faiths, and make them feel as one. And that includes our fellow citizens who are Muslim," he said.Having long ago lost his halo as world messiah, Obama has become the loudest shill of the UN and EU. There is no longer any doubt that not only America but the Free World would be safer without UN/EU shill Barack Obama.
