Glendower chastises Hotspur by saying "Why, I can call monsters from the vasty deep!" Hotspur replies, "Why, so can I, or any other man! But tell me, Glendower, do the monsters come when you call them?" Obama and his sycophants need to just stfd & stfu. That whole crew is a national embarrassment. Heh,

Sorry about that long sentence, but, afterall, I am German, and we love long words and sentences.

For the record, the original story of King Canute did not say that he arrogantly tried to make the sea waves fall back at his command. The original story has him ordering his men (he was a Dane who became king of England, for the record) to carry his throne to the water's edge, where he then solemnly commanded the waves to go back. When the waves instead wet his feet, he told his courtiers to stop flattering him about his power; he obviously wasn't the omnipotent potentate they liked to tell him he was. The man had a very Viking sensibility. Thanks for the hat tip. For the record, the original story of King Canute did not say that he arrogantly tried to make the sea waves fall back at his command.
