There are a lot of boxers out there...

The video link below was sent to me in an email today and I wanted to just share it quickly.  It is from what appears to be a Danish tv/internet broadcast that comments on social issues and the issue in this video is President Obama.  The clip shows Obama meeting with several leaders from countries all over the world and constantly using the descriptor for these countries as boxers who punch above their weight in international fairs.  It also shows him doing the same thing but saying that the countries are strong and close allies.  I am not sure if it is a coincidence that he is using the same terms repeatedly, just bad speech writing by his staff, or just really good film editing, but either way it is embarrassing.  Perhaps it is time for some new speech writers, Mr. President?

  1. This is so funny and so timely. In the past, this might have run on Danish TV, but you would not have seen it. Now, all of a sudden, foreign press coverage of our political campaigns can influence public opinion here. Politics in the age of YouTube!
