Biden, Roosevelt, and Obama......comedy gold on the world stage.
1.When one imagines the behind the back laughing and eye-rolling that will result from this weeks meetings at the G-7, world leaders with intact mental ability having the political version of Benny Hill in their midst, all recognizing what a dishonest fool Quid Pro Joe is, it brings to mind the laughter engendered by two other Democrat ‘geniuses.’
Thanks to the control of information via the state media, much of the public is fooled into giving undue credit to folks like Franklin Roosevelt and Hussein Obama. Let’s prove it.
2. In a Vince Flynn novel, there is a discussion of a certain kind of politician that believes himself to be god-like in ability.
“He’s a dyed in-the-wool . Change is not in their lexicon.” “
That’s what I tried to tell him, but he thinks his personality can win anyone over.” Kennedy knew the type. The best politicians were all that way. They honestly
believed in their personal power of persuasion. These were the men and women who never stopped campaigning. Every dry cleaner, bar, and café they stopped in, every golf outing and fund raiser they hit, they shook hands, smiled, remembered an amazing number of names and convinced people through nothing more than their personality that they were likable. These men and women excelled in politics. They were willing to make concessions and be flexible so others thought them reasonable.
On the international stage, though, these types got taken to the cleaners. Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister at the onset of WWII, was the classic modern example. He had met Hitler, looked him in the eye, made him laugh, and concluded that he was a decent chap despite the evidence to the contrary that had been provided by the British intelligence services. Hitler took Chamberlain for a fool and
played him through the occupation of Austria, the invasion of Poland, and right on up to the invasion of France. Somehow Hitler had been able to resist the irresistible charm of Chamberlain.”

3. Those familiar with history cannot miss the echo of exactly what George Kennan, the author of American foreign policy,
said of Franklin Roosevelt.
“
George Kennan’s view of Roosevelt’s performance during the war is considerably harsher than Harriman’s. After commenting bitterly on the
“inexcusable body of ignorance about the Russian Communist movement, about the history of its diplomacy, about what had happened in the purges, and about what had been going on in Poland and the Baltic States,” Kennan turns more directly to FDR alone:
I also have in mind FDRs evident conviction that Stalin, while perhaps a somewhat difficult customer, was only, after all, a person like any other person; that the reason
we hadn’t been able to get along with him in the past was that we had never really had anyone
with the proper personality and the proper qualities of sympathy and imagination to deal with him, that he had been snubbed all along by the arrogant conservatives of the Western capitals; and that
if only he could be exposed to the persuasive charms of someone like FDR himself, ideological preconceptions would melt and Russia’s cooperation with the West could be easily arranged.
For these assumptions there were no grounds whatsover; and they were of a puerility that was unworthy of a statesman of FDRs stature.”

Imagine Stalin’s eye-rolling and knee slapping when he took Roosevelt to the cleaners.
