Charles de...Tom,<BR/><BR/>From a conservative American pov... Charles de Gaulle was often a jerk. <BR/><BR/>He covered up the 1961 Paris Massacre. Naughty.<BR/>Went to China 8 years before Nixon did. Interesting...<BR/>Said the US should get out of Vietnam as early as 1966. Ooo...<BR/><BR/>But his really interesting act was to fuck Israel up the ass. Days before the 6 day war which could have been the slaughterhouse death of Israel, he has an arms embargo slapped on the country. How would you be if a US president did that ??<BR/>The IDF primarily used French fighters, and he blocked a shipment that the Israelis had already paid for. This is one of the reasons Israel turned to America as its primary military donor.<BR/><BR/>Obama uses the modes of popular appeal that are OF OUR TIMES. It's as simple as that. He is a smart politician. <BR/><BR/>This wistful Right-wing pining for some fossilized 50's male image of a president is a one-way ticket to irrelevance. <BR/>When will conservatives get over it?<BR/>It's like half disapproving old maid - half jealous schoolgirl. It's just ... dumb.<BR/>Go get some damned policies instead, and see how you go with that.Van Zanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115550635674711315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-11240377266791062162009-01-12T21:34:00.000-08:002009-01-12T21:34:00.000-08:00Tom, I consider making up cute little fascist nick...Tom, I consider making up cute little fascist nicknames for your online persona juvenile, and dinosaurs like you that can't fathom being both respectful and cool deserve to be extinct.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it's a universal rule: if you put parenthesis around the word "cool" in a derogatory manner, you ain't cool. It's also a pretty good indicator of being a humorless douche, but I don't want to sound juvenile so I'll let it slide.JBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293642610215334516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-2516010875141433302009-01-12T19:29:00.000-08:002009-01-12T19:29:00.000-08:00I respect cool.

Yes, a Franklin Delano Roosevelt. All three exuded dignity, majesty, and respect. <BR/><BR/>"Coolness" wasn't part of it. <BR/><BR/>Reagan wouldn't even take his suit jacket off in the oval office. This is the level of respect he had for the institution. <BR/><BR/>In his book "The Edge of the Sword" de Gaulle speaks of real leadership.<BR/><BR/>Not "coolness"<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/douglasmacarthurthayeraward.html" REL="nofollow">Duty. Honor. Country.</A><BR/><BR/>Laugh if it entertains you. Gen. Douglas MacArthur had words for those who do:<BR/><BR/><EM>"The unbelievers will say they are but words, but a slogan, but a flamboyant phrase. Every pedant, every demagogue, every cynic, every hypocrite, every troublemaker, and I am sorry to say, some others of an entirely different character, will try to downgrade them even to the extent of mockery and ridicule."</EM><BR/><BR/>He knew a thing or two about leadership. "Coolness" wasn't part of it. <BR/><BR/>Clinton degraded the office with actions we need not discuss. Will Obama do likewise? Not in Clinton's way, of course, but he needs to stop this business of wearing a baseball hat backwards and allowing himself to be seen shirtless. He needs to tell these comic book people to cut it out.<BR/><BR/>There is the cult worship of Obama, but that's a topic for another day. <BR/><BR/>It's all a matter of respect, not just for the office but for oneself. Let's have some with our President.Tom the Redhunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989584196825992054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-20484546796524055862009-01-12T04:31:00.000-08:002009-01-12T04:31:00.000-08:00Obama is also a fan of Conan.
