This clip, from Charlie Chaplin’s classic silent film “The Circus“, pretty much sums up Obama’s foreign policy, every major decision that he has made and how the world sees the once mighty United States Of America now. Keep all those in mind as you watch it.

Enjoy!

The Tramp, unfairly accused of stealing, is chased into the middle of a circus performance, where he unintentionally wows the crowd and lands a job as a clown. Chaplin strings together several great set pieces, but two in particular really stand out. First, the Tramp, having swallowed a massive horse pill, is chased across the circus lot by a donkey and seeks refuge in what he thinks is an empty trailer. Turns out it’s the lion’s cage. He turns to leave, but the door locks behind him. At least the lion is sleeping, but a dog comes and starts barking frantically at the Tramp, threatening to wake the lion up. He tries to crawl into the next cage, but that one’s holding a very-awake tiger. When he crawl’s back into the lion’s cage, he nearly knocks over a steel tray, which surely would wake the beast. Then the ringmaster’s daughter stops by and he tries to get her to open the cage, but she faints from the very idea of where he’s trapped. Then she wakes up and opens the door, but, trying to impress her, he stays in the cage acting like he’s not scared….until the lion roars and the Tramp finally comes charging out.
