“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas

Obama does a Homer Simpson impression....DOH!

President Obama thinks all us slopes look alike.(In case you're wondering, "slope" is a pejorative name for anybody of Asian descent because our eyes are slanted. American soldiers used it during the Vietnam war. I'm 1/4 Chinese so I use it as a comical self-identifier). Anyway, at the G-20 summit press conference, Obama decided to take a question from the Korean press since they hosted the summit. Here's how it went down....

From National Review --

THE PRESIDENT: I feel obliged to take maybe one question from the Korean press — since you guys have been such excellent hosts. Anybody? This gentleman right here — he’s got his hand up. He’s the only one who took me up on it. Go ahead. And I’ll probably need a translation, though, if you’re asking the question in Korean. In fact, I definitely will need a translation. (Laughter.)

REPORTER: Unfortunately, I hate to disappoint you, President Obama, I’m actually Chinese.


Heh heh, OWNED! Like most Americans who've not been around Asians of different nationalities(or Africans, South Americans, eastern Europeans, etc), Obama can't tell them apart. Even though it's technically not his fault, it still came across as a final embarrassment to cap off a particularly humiliating G-20 summit for the US.
