Dumb and Dumber

Obama’s two most useful idiots



imageProof positive that Republicans who cross the bi-partisan aisle too many times come back as Democrat dupes: Senator John McCain and “Independent” Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman. In their newfound state of `civility’ the senators are flying not Old Glory but are white flagging orchestrated democracy movements in the Middle East. According to McCain, all praise for the revolution goes to the social network sites and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is “the most popular man in the Middle East”. (FoxNews, March 3, 2011).

President Barack Obama whose group Organizing America helped hand Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood feels the same way about Google, Mr. McCain. Fresh home from a trip to the middle east, McCain and Lieberman sang the praises of the social networks on recent developments in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and Libya at the Brookings Institute. “This social networking cannot be underestimated in how all of these events, really the driving force in how all of this transformed and took place,” crowed McCain. Lieberman called the changes, “Even more consequential than the collapse of the Soviet Union” and suggested, “It’s in our strategic interest at this moment to help history move in the right direction.” Incredibly by further emphasizing the role technology has been playing in world revolution, McCain relayed a story from a young man he met with in Egypt, who held up his blackberry and said, “I can get 200,000 people in the square in two hours”. And it’s Egypt the two senators advised the Obama administration to keep an eye on. Young men with Blackberrys can also get dozens of young people into Chicago department stores for a flash mob collective shoplifting. And who knows if they’re not already using technology to bring illegals over the Arizona border? And how’s this for John “Maverick” McCain wisdom: “Egypt is the heart and soul of the Arab world. What happens in Egypt will be vital to what happens in the rest of the region.” Some not on the government payroll knew that all along. That Google-trained digital activists have already been lauded seemed to have gone over McCain, who warned against the appearance of “outside interference” in Cairo. He insisted that the best move for the U.S. to make was to help with job creation: “I hope the high tech community and friends of ours like John Chambers and Bill Gates and all of these people would come out and say, `Ok we’re gonna invest in Egypt, we’re gonna help people create jobs and opportunity.” Left unsaid: Americans struggling in the recession who are not out fomenting for revolution in foreign countries can find their own jobs. Lieberman and McCain, are both advocates for a no-fly zone for Libya. Lieberman feels that the Obama administration was a “little slow” in handling these events to date. Make that nine days slow, Joe. But McCain as an Obama booster could rival Nancy Pelosi. “This administration came into power with an anti-Bush agenda, whether that was the right thing to do or not. I think history will judge. But I also think that this administration has come a long way, especially in this last year and I give them credit for that. And so I certainly like what Secretary Clinton has been saying. I certainly appreciate many of the things the administration has been saying.” How can Obama lose with useful idiots like McCain and Lieberman in tow?
