...we do understand it's campaigning time in The U.S.A. . We do understand that plenty of dirt gets thrown around when one is lusting for the chair in the oval office. We also understand that your frustrated, because you candidate obviously is always one step or two steps behind when the opposition launches the big media coup ...

... but we don't like to be called \"fawning\" when we are kindly welcoming one of our American friends. We would not have treated your candidate any different, but you will hopefully understand that he's now off to a very bad start, do you?

I'm trying to figure out what your post means. Is one of our candidates for President in Europe? Did someone say Eurpoeans were fawning over him? Who is Tucker Bonds? I am in the dark.

I think this message is written in code or something. I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to say. My best guess is something about a presidential candidate.

Obama's been on a tour overseas that includes the Middle East and Europe, so I'm pretty sure it's about him. Sounds like a columnist said something about the Germans \"fawning\" over Obama, and Sanyarin seems to be taking offense to that. I guess he sees McCain as lagging behind Obama in positive PR. I've never heard of Tucker Bonds, personally.

This seems to be him.

USA to Sanyarin...

Tucker Bonds is a nobody. Don't worry about what he is saying.

I have no idea what this post is about or who Tucker Bonds is.

To be honest, before I clicked on this I thought the title was some weird lingo in regards to a European Baseball team signing Barry Bonds lol!

P.S. I am still laughing about what I thought this thread was gonna be about hahaha.

Therefore, I gave everyone that posted in this thread a Howl!

I'm sorry for causing so much irritation ? I should not post while being mad AND tired out at the same time.

I was referring indeed to something McCain's spokesman did say in reference to Obama's visit to Germany and his speech in front of the Berlin Victory Column.

From the top of my head, it was something like this
Is some candidate's spin doctor an important person? Certainly not, they are exchangable like underwear and they all screw up sooner or later, but if he isn't shown the door after one more or less dubious statement or at least the respective politician he speaks for doesn't do jack to object his spokesman's statement, this politician will be rightfully associated with it.

You didn't cause any irritation. I didn't realize Bonds was a McCain spin doctor. They've been running their mouths at a rate of 3 lines of BS a minute since Obama's plain left for Europe.

When there are two people running for president... Obama versus Not-Obama and you are Not-Obama things will get desperate. I would put money on it that Not-Obama's camp didn't give one thought towards not being jerks to Germans as they were issuing their statements.

You definitely didn't cause any irritation at all. If anything, just a little confusion...

I would like to add - with regard to CW's missinterpretation of the tread's name - that while Basketball has at least grown to respectability here in Europe, Baseball on the other hand probably has the same standing as jellyfish throwing or camel racing.

That's not that there weren't organized leagues, but really, really not even the player's families go to the games ...

Obama is The Man.

McCain, not so much.

I miss random/hilarious posts like this. Good times. And I miss Sanyarin.
