As many have undoubtedly received the following email, as I did recently, I thought I would do some fact checking. I wasn't able to determine its authenticity via Snopes, but did manage to find the source online and use a translation engine to determine the following:
While I may agree with it's content, the email is certainly viral as it misrepresents the facts. The email incorrectly attributes the following as part of a 28 April 2010 newspaper article appearing in the Czech Republic Newspaper, The Prager Zeitung; when in fact, it was a reader's commentary for a March 2010 newspaper article appearing in said media.

The good news, at least, is that not everyone in Europe is a mindless fool. Let's hope that attribute is contagious in America in 2012.

One can follow the link provided for another source that largely supports my stated findings.Subject Line: Multitude of Fools
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool.
It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.
