At a news conference afterward, Obama said his debut on the international stage had convinced him that “political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate,” where he served before entering the White House. “There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing, and people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics,” he said in response to an Austrian reporter’s question.
The preening buffoon continues his march across Europe, impressing everyone he sees. For those of you from Kentucky that don’t know (and for those of you from posh Hyde Park suburbs of Chicago that also obviously also don’t know), Austrians speak German.

Let me count the ways:
1) If Bush ever said anything this ignorant about Europe it would be front page news for months on end worldwide.
2) If Austrian was a language, there would be a near certainty that
this guy would never have had the opportunity to lead Germany, since he was born you know where. He would have likely been considered a funny-sounding a--hat. This is an elemental point of modern history that Ogabe somehow missed in his illustrious Ivy League "education".
3) And to our eternal detriment, he wouldn't know Austrian economics from a hole in the wall. You know, the only group of economists who predicted the
meltdown. Oh, and the Great Depression also. Funny how that's been kept from you, isn't it?
