They know us

And we thought all along the Brits didn't understand us.  I guess they know us pretty well.

Newspaper in England nailed the OBAMA CRAZE!
 
The Daily Mail ( UK ) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009. (confirmation, Google " London Daily Mail Obama's Victory")
 
 Obama's Victory--A British view
     A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright,
the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who
despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous
and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.
A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult.
A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if
he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear
reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history,
rabble-raising over reality.
    A victory for Hollywood , the most dysfunctional community in the world.
Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon. Victory for those who
prefer welfare to will and interference to independence.  For those who settle for
group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and
the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.
    Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom.  He and his people have already
stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the
extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama
worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television
stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat
Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio.
In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be
cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and
opposition. A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children
than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who
are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war
and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful
conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation,
higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal
sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
 
    Congratulations America !
