But, as far as i can see, Obama is the best thing that happened to America in a LONG time. Not only America, the whole world will benefit from this.
I don't think anyone from the Netherlands, or any other county is going to have to cough up the money to pay for what my children, grand children and great-grand children are going to have to endure to get us out of the Obama mess.

And if I were from the Netherlands I would probably agree with urinalysis of the climate over here

I am sick and damn tired of the Netherlands and the whole damn world feasting on our generosity and then putting us down as the scourge of the earth.

I won't comment on gun laws here as i'm from Europe and i think the right to own guns is just B.S.
But, as far as i can see, Obama is the best thing that happened to America in a LONG time. Not only America, the whole world will benefit from this.
The whole of Europe was suprised that Bush was elected for the second time. That guy needed help to scratch his own ass...

Then military, WHY should more than 3% of the "fit" population serve in the military? Aren't there enough soldiers already?
I mean, the entire Iraqi war is B.S. and based on nothing.

Granted, Obama couldn't have gotten a worse time to be elected president. Everything is focused on the economy now.

DRANGED,

"OVERSOFT" says it all. It is self explanatory. These european "utopiasts" never offend anybody... but they don't stand for anything either. They remained neutral during WWII Spineless!

Except, of course, that some Europeans stepped up the WWII plate well before the US did...

Yeah and got their asses kicked in and need us to help.
They were probably overwhelmed with joy when pearl harbor was attacked.
Knowing that we would come in and save the day.

You'll find the real turn of events in WWII, and the massive contribution made by many European countries, was somewhat different than the Hollywood version you seem to be describing. For example, more British troops and civilians gave their lives than Americans to preserve the freedom we all now enjoy. So who made the biggest contribution? And as a percentage of the respective populations at the time, the British lost much more than the USA. Both, of course, pale into insignificance compared to more than 5 million Polish citizens - over three million of them civilians - who gave their lives. The French lost more than the Brits and the USA. Others lost many, many more. Many of these countries, of course, essentially fought alone while the US effectively watched from the sidelines until 1941. The real tragedy is that what you describe as "got their asses kicked" actually translates to millions of Europeans giving their lives.

Also, to put that "getting their asses kicked" comment into context, WW II came relatively quickly after WW I when nearly ten British citizens died for each American casualty. A not dissimilar picture could be found in many other European countries. So they were all a little lighter on numbers that they otherwise might have been in 1939

And that is exactly what they did. Yet a couple of posters here seem to believe otherwise.
