If Only a U.S. Congressman Would Say this Directly to Obama

March 25th 2009

This is an essential video to watch of Daniel Hannan publicly admonishing Gordon Brown. While watching the video, if not for his reference to Gordon Brown, one would think he was talking directly about Barack Obama and his policies. Please note that he is not using a teleprompter.

Mr. Hannen spoke to his education and intellectual level which makes such an impactful message. Unfortunately, the average US politician dumbs him/herself to the level of the least common denominator of their constituents. Amen, Mr. Hannen. Kyle has also used the English language to its best. Can you imaging if a US Congressmen were to make the same speach? The media, on both sides, would absolutely eat it up.</p> <div class="reply"> <a class='comment-reply-link' href='/if-only-a-us-congressman-would-say-this-directly-to-obama?replytocom=2235#respond' onclick='return addComment.moveForm("div-comment-2235", "2235", "respond", "2033")'>Reply</a> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-2268"> <div id="div-comment-2268" class="comment-body"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/5d8b393b73568102133028512045e5b2?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=PG' class='avatar avatar-32 photo' height='32' width='32' /> <cite class="fn">Charles</cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"><a href="http://www.jimbyrd.com/if-only-a-us-congressman-would-say-this-directly-to-obama/comment-page-1#comment-2268"> March 30, 2009 at 12:52 am</a> </div> <p>We do have one Congressman like that.
