HEAL! DAMN YOU!
According to the Danish newspaper POLITIKEN, anyway.

And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just
been celebrated - - but rather the President of the United States
Barack Hussein Obama.
~
Despite all the compromises, it has finally been possible to ensure
something so fundamental, as the right of every American not to be
financially shipwrecked when their health fails them. Add to that the
biggest ever financial support package in America’s history, a major
disarmament agreement and the quickest-ever re-establishment of
American reputation.
On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles
that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few. At the
same time, we have the wonderful parables about his life and deeds that
we know from the New Testament, but which have been interpreted so
differently over the past 2000 years that it is impossible to give an
unequivocal result of his work.
Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game.

I
admit that, for just a moment, the visage of Saddam Hussein, apparently
risen (he translates as Julian Isherwood now), shook me. But for now, and possibly forever, the name Denmark begets for me Copenhagen, which begets Climate Conference, which begets Cliff Claven
. Tough taking Cliff seriously. I rather think the London Telegraph newspaper has a proper analysis; Barack Obama gets an 'F' .

Danish translation:
Jeg
indrømmer, at for bare et øjeblik, at visage af Saddam Hussein,
tilsyneladende steget (han oversætter som Julian Isherwood nu), rystede
mig. Men
for nu, og måske for evigt, navnet Danmark avler for mig København, som
avler Klimakonference, som avler Cliff Claven
(Claven er en amerikansk
popkultur know-it-all sludrechatol, altid galt. Ligesom Obama). Tough
tager Cliff alvorligt. Jeg tror nu snarere London Telegraph avis har en
korrekt analyse, Barack Obama får en 'F'.
