Ironies Abound in Comments by Obama and Greek Prime Minister

Quote
"Our government owes a great debt to Greece," President Obama told Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras yesterday. Ironic, of course, since Greece owes a great debt to just about everybody else.

Quote
Samaras wasn't above making ironic comments, either - blaming his region's problems on illegal immigration:

"I believe that the problems have to do with illegal immigration, internal turbulence in various countries, and even, unfortunately, the problem of terrorism."

And, in an interesting word choice, he called for the U.S. and Europe to "liberalize" their economic potential:

Even Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras blames illegal immigration for Greece's problem. Obama is so classless.

Classless....clueless....what difference does it make now.
“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.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

End result is the same.
