Australia DOES speak English.

Austria speaks German!

where oh where, does this guy come from? Surely not from an ‘american’ college of higher learning! He doesn’t know how many states there are, that Austria is NOT a language, but a country, etc. Just WHERE DOES THIS GUY COME FROM, REALLY?

Austria speaks German. The Austrian accent is easily recognized by other German-speaking people.
Most Americans have no idea where Austria or Austalia is. They are poorly educated, content with their ignorance, never read anything except text messages, couldn’t find their own home state on a U.S. map, and have the nerve to call other people’s gaffes out because somebody explained the gaffe to them.

Hey Huffenpuff Limbaugh, what is wrong with showing people the truth, Obama is not the smartest man in the world! BTW it was really funny how you mention Jr. High after all your name calling, miss it much?!

Senator Klit Torris   April 6th, 2009 - 5:01 pm

All the loony libtards claim this guy is smart. If you don’t think affirmative action was the reason he got into Columbia and Harvard, then your heads are so far up youir a$$es that you could perform a self root canal. He also had a prominent Radical Muslim write a letter of recommendation for him. Look, Dr. MaryLibturd is a principal at a middle school, so there’s no telling how low libs will stoop to get these folks into good schools, and positions of power.

I think you’ll find that that’s the case for teenagers in general, around the world. While many Americans are indeed content with their ignorance, I think you’ll find that it goes along certain boundaries. Well-off and middle class people are well educated, poor people are not, and are content to be so, because they’ve got that welfare coming. But in the test results, no differentiation is made between the strata of society. In homogenous societies, like Japan, you don’t find that problem.

Thanks so much,

What’s WRONG with you stupid idiots? Don’t you dummies know they speak Austrian in the 51st through 57th states??

They learned it from Obama’s uncle who liberated Auschwitz.

It’s the part of the USA Michelle was ALWAYS proud of!

Take it from Jeremiah Wright, and I quote.. “Some say God Bless America, I say augen blozen hubbin Amerschmizen!*

* In Austrian, that means “God d a m n America”

Yes…Saul…they are part of the 57 states making up the United States of America…the country…you…unfortunately…are supposed to be leading!

You are also part of the New World Order coordinated by the Bilderburg Society.

America, if you have not viewed this video you must!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER…WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE POWER. DON’T BE UNINFORMED LIKE THE VOTERS WERE WHO VOTED FOR SAUL ALINSKY OBAMA.

PLEASE VIEW THIS VIDEO TO BE INFORMED. AN INFORMED POPULACE CANNOT BE DUPED!

=========================
A SUMMARY…
=========================

This expose’ details the reality of a secret group of very rich, very elite individuals around the world called the Bilderburg Society. Henry Kissinger, both the Bushes, Rockefeller, both Clintons, etc are some of the members.

It proves how Obama was chosen to be their puppet and was elevated to the position he is in with their help. It uses actual news footage, investigations into the group, and commentary by several experts in the field, etc.

It tells their mission to take down the banks and bankrupt the economy in America. What they are planning for our military, etc.

You will be amazed at what is going on in America and the world. I believe it totally…and you will too after viewing it.

Please watch it…and then if you think it is as valuable in information as I have found, share it with family and friends, as I have.

AMERICA YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO>>>>>>>>>

IT IS LONG, BUT YOU WILL GO AWAY WITH A NEW AWAKENING AT WHERE WE ARE IN OUR COUNTRY AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO STOP THE MADNESS!

If this was bush..   April 6th, 2009 - 6:52 pm

The media would be all over it like flies on S***. “Look how stupid the president is” but Obama says it and nothing?
Now how can the left say the media is not biased?

Gandhi's Fist   April 6th, 2009 - 9:14 pm

Yep, you nailed it. If this was a Bush gaffe, the vast left-wing media would be portraying him as a base ignoramus.

At least we know know that the Democrats can produce one of their own.

Obama’s European vacation has been marked by blunder after blunder. We are at war with radical Islam, we pulled Europe’s rear end out of the fire in WWII and the lion’s share of the worlds innovation springs from American culture. We owe them nada.

What a Milquetoast President Obama turned out to be.

Jamesb   April 6th, 2009 - 9:24 pm

Maybe Obama and his RINO buddy Ahnold Swartzer—whatever, can get together and “rap” in Austrian. What a friggin idiot. Even you die-hard bonehead loser Democrats HAVE to be shaking your pinheads in disbelief. Unbelieveably embarrassing.

TruthTeller   April 6th, 2009 - 9:27 pm

I hear Mr Obama is reaching out to people of other tongues.

The AP reported that as a gesture of good will to Canadian PM Stephen Harper, Obama recently asked the State Dept to translate the Koran from Australian into Canadian, but unfortunately they gawt awl the speling rong.

He hurriedly replaced the embarrassing, tainted book with a box of hardly-used dvds in Chinese from Blockbuster, and a Mickey Mouse keychain from the airport gift shop.

Been there, lived there   April 6th, 2009 - 9:52 pm

Actually, there are substantial differences in the Austrian and German dialects. Maybe he was aware of the nuances and is smarting than all of the “I want him to fail” idiots who are posting their comments.

Observer   April 6th, 2009 - 10:01 pm

Agree with Truth Teller

He’s been having a lot of trouble with his official greetings and his gift giving.

It’s not out yet but I hear when he got to Ankara, he forgot to bow to old Mustapha. Instead he humped the guy’s leg and then gifted him with a Hot Turkey Sandwich.

Keone Michaels   April 6th, 2009 - 10:09 pm

The Austrian dialect is slightly different you provincial fools. Jargon in Austria might be different than common jargon in Berlin for example.

Hickok   April 6th, 2009 - 10:25 pm

“The Austrian dialect is slightly different you provincial fools.”
“Actually, there are substantial differences in the Austrian and German dialects.”

Typical liberal gibberish. Here’s the main point that you can’t spin, obfuscate or pettifog. THERE IS NO LANGUAGE CALLED AUSTRIAN. Period, end of discussion, you liberal, weenie apologists.

Gandhi's Fist   April 6th, 2009 - 10:54 pm

@Hickok

Way to post! It is beyond gibberish, it lays at the heart of the liberal mindset. Lie, even for the little things. Imagine what they do with the big blunders. German is the language Austrians speak.

Obama doesn’t speak a second language (speaking of provincial fools) and certainly is prone to gaffes based on his obvious lack of knowledge.

Maybe, I’ve used a little bit too much “nuance” in stating Obama has a “lack of knowledge” and should have stuck with ignoramus. You know, the folks in New York are apt to use different “jargon” than the common slang in–say–California, where they would have just called him a doofus.

Mike   April 6th, 2009 - 11:06 pm

Only the stupidest people would think for a moment that Obama doesn’t (and didn’t) know that Austrians speak German. At worst it’s a gaffe; at best he meant it in the same way a person would say “I speak American”, i.e., Austrian German is different from Swiss German or German German in the same way that Australian, Canadian, English, Scottish, and American people all speak slightly different languages.

Incidentally, if you Google “speak American” you’ll get 182,000 links. This certainly does not reflect that the authors of those websites didn’t know that Americans speak English.

Again, anyone who actually believes Obama didn’t know that Austria is a German-speaking country is stupid. But I’m calling you out: most of you AREN’T stupid, you’re simply looking for some little tiny, inconsequential thing to point to.

My advice– as a Republican fiscal conservative– why don’t we focus on the truly awful budget he proposed instead of pretending that we’re stupid enough to believe that Obama didn’t know Austria was a German speaking country.

Steve F   April 6th, 2009 - 11:16 pm

Boy! do the Libs ever go into PANIC mode as Obama, bows, gaffes, his way across Europe and points East. Pushing old Prince Philip out of the official photos, getting turned down by the first lady of France (on an “air kiss” even). Doing a great bow job to(his) leader the King of the House of Saud. Like they say ACTIONS speak LOUDER than words! Dragging that B*tt Ugly wife of his around like a cheap trick from the “hood”. Dressing in a sweater to met the Queen..I mean 500 in his traveling “freak show” and not even one knew that is a HUGE, NO! No! but then again what do you expect from Affirmative Action folks from the South side of Chicago? We are in deep do do folks..hardly a word about the N Korean “test rocket”. This Kenyan Boy is in way over his head!

@Mike

Contrary to your post, apparently Obama didn’t know Austrians spoke German or he would have said so. Slowly, with me: At that point–call it what you will–Obama didn’t know that fact.

To state otherwise, is pure reality distortion. I’m not saying you’re stupid, just that you’re not basing what you’re posting on the visible facts; do check out that video at the top of the page.

You also know that Obama rarely speaks extemporaneously so he is prone to gaffes like Bush was.

What most are wrankeled about is the hypocracy of the news media. Had it been Bush, it most certainly wouldn’t have been too minor to bash him with. Do you deny this as well?

To sum up, this is more of a condemnation of the media than an attack on Obama. Though some cannot resist. Who can blame them, the guy is an unchecked, left-wing, socialist, standard issue tax and spend liberal.

When he nestles up to Hugo Chavez on his trip to Latin America, he’ll bone up on his Latin.
When he breaks bread with Ahmadinablowjob in Iran, he’ll practice his Iranian for a bit.
When he gives press conferences here in the U.S., he’ll simply practice his lying skills for a few days.

Hickok   April 7th, 2009 - 7:35 am

Oh yeah, he told the Press Corps that whilst in Great Britain he enjoyed speaking British.
He also said he learned a lot of Canadian when he met their Prime Minister.
He said the language that he had the most trouble understanding, however, was Irish.

Bill Airs   April 7th, 2009 - 11:08 am

Austrian German is simply another standard form of the German language. So what is this news thread about and what is this back and forth about a language?

I guess you guys have to vent about something,since it seems that only one party is calling all the shots.

Unfortunately, right now, there is no leadership at home to help move the GOP away from that radical image that voters have rejected. Nothing good occurs when either major party loses its sense of who’s in charge

@Airs

Again, it is more about the press hypocrisy than the gaffe by Obama.

The vast left-wing, liberal press would have had a field day with a similar Bush blunder.

Turn about is only fair play. Your assertion that he meant “Austrian German” is putting words in his mouth, trying to lessen the gaffe. Let it be, Obama blundered. So he isn’t the brilliant fellow the press have built him up to be. I’m not surprised. Far more disturbing is his socialism and fiscal policies.

Matt   April 7th, 2009 - 2:26 pm

Ah, Obama, the guy who claimed there were “57 or 58 states”. The guy who stated the Germans bombed Pearl harbor. Now, Austrians speak Austrian – ba ha ha ha.

I guess barry should have been studying in school instead of toking on a number and snorting lines up his nose.

Nobody ever said con men were intelligent as they just have the delivery down. I wonder if Barry could have flown fighters like GWB? I seriously doubt it. In fact, with Barry’s known friends, he wouldn’t have passed the background check.

And your point is? Because folks have a twang in the South, we don’t call their language Southese, you libturd.
Let’s see….
1. Obama bows like a weasel to the towelhead King in Saudi Arabia, but his wife grabs the English Queen instead of curtsying.
2. Apologizes to Europe for our arrogance, etc.
3. Flubs up reading from his teleprompter twice in Europe
4. And doesn’t know that Austrians speak German. There’s no such freaking language as “Austrian” you arsewipe.

And you and your weenie lib friends think he’s dignified, smart and a great politician.

There is no one so dumb as he who thinks he is smart. Bush never put on airs like 0.
If he had earned his position, this would not happen. Frankly, he has been favored because of our culture’s fawning over “all things minority.” When are we going to become a color-blind society? Not till “kingdom come.”

Paul   April 8th, 2009 - 8:58 am

He knows Schwarzenegger is Austrian, doesn’t he?
Isn’t it obvious to most anglophiles that Arnold’s accent is German? So why would 0 think it was Austrian? Has anyone in this country, or in the world for that matter, ever even heard of the Austrian language?!? I predict the following:
Rather than break the news to Obama that he is not as smart as he thinks he is, we’ll play “The Emperor is Not Wearing Any Clothes!” Maybe even spend billions changing all the textbooks in the world, rather than find the courage/integrity to spend 1 minute telling 0 that there’s no such thing as an Austrian language.

simon9   April 8th, 2009 - 10:23 am

Oh for Chrissakes.

I don’t particularly like Obama but he simply misspoke, and that’s obvious. He said “Austrian” instead of “Austria”. He’s not the great orator his supporters fantasize him to be.

Let’s save the hissy fits for his more important missteps like bailing out misrun corporations with taxpayer money. Or bowing to foreign potentates.

ivory   April 8th, 2009 - 11:30 am

Obama thinks “austrian” is a language, and thinks Turkey (founded in 1923) is an old civilization compared to America which is very new… This guy obviously never took a history course, and he’s our President… How scary is that???

“Compared to Turkey and how old this civilization is, America is still very new.”

Embarrassing.

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   April 8th, 2009 - 12:52 pm

Dear Ivory…please remember Saul Alinsky Obama never studied American history like we did in elementary school.

He studied the Islamic Muslim Koran as a Muslim and an Indonesian citizen in Indonesia.

He learned there were 57 states in the Islamic world…not 50 in the United States of America…the country where only half of our citizens voted for this fraud.

We said it during the election…you do not elect an inexperienced, naive and uneducated in our country, man to lead the biggest corporation in our world…America.

We are now all paying the price for this big, huge mistake that needs to be corrected!

Call/email Rep Ryan of Wisconsin and ask him to ask for the “birth certificate”!

=====================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” THE MAN WHO ONLY KNOWS THERE ARE 57 ISLAMIC STATES BECAUSE HE IS THE FIRST ISLAMIC MUSLIM TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF OUR “CHRISTIAN” NATION!

paul   April 8th, 2009 - 2:59 pm

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty: Thanks for sharing that film’s site. Just finished watching it. It puts some parts of the puzzle together that had, frankly, puzzled me for some time. To be specific: Why did Reagan and Bush, though somewhat conservative, insist on bankrupting this country? Also, why was Bush so dead set on going into Iraq? He’s a politician, he’d never have the backbone to do it “just because.” In the same way, mild Barry–why’s he rushing pell mell to tear up the very foundations of society on a daily basis? This is not the kind, gentle Barry we have seen portrayed. Again, he is a politician; he would not be acting so boldly if he wasn’t told to.
The black/white hatred, the democratic/republican hatred could very well be being used as a diversion. If you throw out a few honest Republicans, Imhofe, for one,and a Democrat like Kucinich, the rest of the parties are the same kind of people.
Very well documented, everything was backed up, and the presenters were good people.
I’m not going to let this drive me crazy,but it helps me know the truth better, and thus helps me share it with others. Thanks again!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   April 8th, 2009 - 5:13 pm

Dear Paul…thanks for the kudos but they go to Claspur another commenter on this site who enlightened me to it! It put things in perspective for me, also!

Pass it along to family and friends!

REMEMBER…AN INFORMED AND KNOWLEDGABLE PEOPLE CANNOT BE DUPED!

Mike   April 8th, 2009 - 9:17 pm

We’ll never know, of course, but I can’t believe you honestly think that if a reporter had asked Obama a month ago “Do you know what language most people in Austria speak?” he wouldn’t have known the answer. If you do believe this, then on what grounds? Certainly this video presents not even the slightest evidence to support that he would have gotten the answer wrong. As I said, at worst it’s a mere gaffe, while at best he was saying “speak Austrian” the way people say “speak American” even though they know that Americans speak English.

Me, I still dislike Obama’s budget AND his tax plan. Apparently some of his detractors are more bothered by their own imagined conclusions about what the least charitable interpretation would be concerning an utterly minor matter. Seriously, leaving aside the fact that there is no basis for the conclusion “he didn’t know what language they speak in Austria”– absolutely NOT on the basis of this video– I’m still perplexed that people think this is really an issue.

I think what it all comes down to is that my objection to Obama– and in general to big government, high taxes, and all that goes with it– is not in any way tied up with a need to make a mountain out of every mole hill that, looked at charitably, probably isn’t even a mole hill in the first place. Of course, if you begin with the premise that it’s important to discover that Obama doesn’t know things, then obviously you’re going to be more likely to interpret his remarks in the way you guys have. But what’s the point of that?
