President Gaffe's Bigger Problems

Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


When 84% of the American people, according to the AOL Hot Seat weekend poll, think a joke you cracked on late night television was either tone-deaf/insensitive or worse yet flat-out offensive then you might think you have problems. (Heh who are we kidding? You do! You do!) Just because Britain's largest daily newspaper has a top ten gaffe reel assembled, and online before your presidency is barely 60 days old, you might believe that you're the laughingstock of serious members of the world community of leaders. (Again, likely, you're right.) And when you take the time to address an Islamic Republic via YouTube (after they had been burning you in effigy for weeks) with a plea to come to the table of intellects and have a philosophical wine and cheese night about how the world looks in your unicorn-excretion of utopia, but can still hear the ripple of laughter from Tehran five days later, you might even wonder if you deserve it. (Again, batting a thousand on this one champ!)

Now if these elements composed the entire universe of faux pas committed in your time in office then you might even be able to withstand them.

But if these embarrassments followed things like giving the Prime Minister of Britain twenty-five DVD's that were not even compatible with European media players, or accepting priceless gifts from fellow heads of state that were made out of the very historical relics that loosed the chains holding freedom from people like you from being able to achieve your dreams, then it just begin to looks tacky.

But the truth is Mr. President you're not tacky.

You're cheap. Selfish. You bathe in arrogance. And your words sans teleprompter are cruel, cutting, and more times than not confusing.

I personally have received e-mail, tweets, and MySpace/facebook messages from hundreds of parents in the past 48 hours since you ridiculed retarded kids, some of whom could easily whoop you in any number of sports. For you to do it only the day before World Down's Syndrome Day is an even nicer touch. I've heard from families who have down syndrome children, one family that had three, a number of messages from families that just identified their children as challenged or disabled, and some who told me that their child's diagnosis--like my own son--was one of mental or physical retardation.

Do you know what that is Mr. President?

Literally it means "slow." You know that word right? Sort of identical to the way your economic recovery plan is working.

And not satisfied with plastering yourself on every magazine cover, seeking out the late night spotlight in ways that even make former President Clinton look chaste, frequently interrupting prime time television forcing networks to lose millions and lay people off by your demonstrable insecurity of needing people to like you, you're coming back this Tuesday night.

Now the last time you had a prime time news conference you filibustered the answering of the questions spending a full ten minutes to answer the very first one.

You also promised us something that night, sir. You promised us that your fed team, led by a man who was up until recently a tax evader, would present us a plan to save the banking system "the next morning!" You even refused to answer a question related to the issue citing the following morning's "plan."

So if someone at the press conference asks you where it is this Tuesday evening, what is there left for you to do? Drop kick an infant through the service entrance of the West Wing?

The truth is, President Obama, the number of economists that have pointed you to the proper solutions for the economy is running in the multiple of hundreds.

And yet you do not act, or when you do, it's to have your tricked out caddy pull up to the back door of NBC Los Angeles so that you can put on your collectable USC sunglasses, stroll in looking very GQ, and insult the most vulnerable amongst us.

But where is the seriousness?

Where is your plan to deal with a now nuclear boasting Iran?

Where is your plan to deal with a growing nuclear desire in North Korea?

Where is your plan to halt the job losses in nearly a dozen states that are hovering near 10% unemployment (more than double the national average of Bush's entire two terms?)

Where is your plan to create the opportunity for risk takers to create new business or generate new companies that can hire people and put them to work?

Sure your NCAA picks were horrible, and most of the nation thinks that a university basketball coach at Duke is more qualified for your job than you ever will be for his, but how will you convince "We the People" otherwise?

One of your closest advisors and longest supporters, Warren Buffet, recently stated in an interview that your priorities should be as numbered: 1.The Economy, 2.The Economy, 3.The Economy. Notice the trend?

You could resign but then you place the rudder of the free world into the hands of a man who is arguably more arrogant than you, far more prone to hubris, and far too dimwitted to know the difference.

Your dishonest policies on the science of stem cells, your greatest export to date to other countries: access to abortion, and your insistence on hidden taxes on every American (cap and trade) are not helping America's confidence in you either.

You do not rule a center-left nation Mr. President, and that's why you're feeling the pain and discomfort at present. In fact you don't "rule" anything at all. We the American people have lent you the authority and the responsibility of administrating our nation's concerns for a brief period of time. We rule you. You work for us.

In order to improve the situation one of two things must change.

You must move center right, or be prepared to lose in 2012 by a margin larger than your win in 2008.

There are more of us than there are of you. So I'd take the hint, and the sooner the better.

The challenges you face are grim ones. That is why I pray for you daily. It probably wouldn't hurt for you to return to the practice of seeking God yourself. I have a feeling that your absence at church since the election might be clouding your clarity, even on simple matters.

Your win, Mr. President, was a symbol of something significant in American history. You are blessed with the power and position to bring about great things. Use your influence to do that.

So that then, as a person whose race had previously been oppressed, you might be an agent to lift others up, starting with those who have far less than you, but that can bowl a 300 to your improved 129.

Iran
BO reaches out an olive branch to Tehran and pulls back a bloody stump.

Apparently "Useful Idiots" you really
need to work on your reading comprehension. IT SUCKS!!

The gaffe on the bowling joke is just one of the mistakes Obama has made since being elected, and especially since taking office.

The man is clearly not ready for prime time. He promised us an ethical administration, yet most of his advisors are tax cheatsm crooks and idiots.
They're telling him how to solve the problems of this nation and he's ignoring them because it doesn't fit his personal agenda of destroying the country.

He's offering, no, make that begging TWO Foreign Leaders who are all but laughing at him right in his face to come and talk about stopping their nuclear desires. Sure, they might come and talk to him, or let him go to their countries so they can talk to him there, but as soon as they/he leave(s) t5those two leaders are going to go right back to doing what they just told him the'd stop doing. Need proof? Look at the records of both of them at keeping promises they've made to anybody. They're both batting ZERO at keeping their word.

On top of that there's the false "outrage" by him and his entire party about the AIG Bonuses. You know, the ones that THEY KNEW were going to happen UP TO SIX MONTHS AGO because THEY wrote them into the contract to "fix" AIG.

Then there's his attemmpts to distract us from the other shenanigans his administration is pulling by picking on Rush Limbaugh. ANYONE who didn't see through that BS is willingly and deliberately blind.

The best thing this idiot could do is resign, and take his whole team of shysters with him .
Because at this rate, the people of this country, who are already QUICKLY getting fed up with him, are going to march on the White House and physically remove him if he doesn't get his act together, and SOON.

Amen to the march on the White House!
Hey, Marine's Dad! Where do I form up? I truly believe there is a growing army of REAL Americans who realize that our legislators ignore us, the Supreme Court ignores us, and it IS time to take matters into our own hands, to save our nation. Every day, the hole we are in gets deeper! Time to move!











To Joel-De Opresso Liber
You go right ahead with your rebellion The rest of us will cheer you on while drinking our beers.

Obamanation
Russia's Putin must be laughing his arse off at what an inept fool that Americans elected to the presidency. The mullahs in Iran must be overjoyed to recognize that, finally, America has a president who can be rolled!

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee and me.


KMC Loses to Obama-again
Hey that's a pretty niffty little poll number-it confirms that the GOP has joined the ranks of the politcally correct and that's ok by me. here's another little poll number-A Wall Street Journal Poll taken last say 84% of the country sees the economic problems as ones he inherited from the Bush admin. It seems pretty clear why people like KMC rush to gin up faux outrage.

First they said Obama wasn't paying enough atention the economy in lieu of march madness, when that meme imploded the less rationale immediately jumpred on this gaffe-whis is not working as many of the people who organize the special olympics are liberals and therefore used to being inuslted.

Now they predicatably say Obama is "overexposing himself"-seems that they know Bush spent the last four years hidding and that Obama's popularity seems to go up every single time he gets out of DC.

We are still less than sixty days in this admin and the GOP has thrown every attack(doing too much, doing too little, too much travel, yet he's snob who doesn't get the people)IT CAN THINK OF. The GOP even went 100% populist LAST WEEK marxist actually voting for a new PUNATIVE TAX which was a complete abandonement of conservative economic principles. This is why so many independents really just despise conservatives-when it all boils down they have no spines and talk out both sides of their mouths. No new taxes indeed!

People like Marines dad are in the MINORITY and they can't stand it; hence all their huff and puffing when they are in fact paper tigers burning from the spotlights on Obama.

Is It Cromwell Time?
Help me out here. Wasn't it Cromwell who marched on London and sent Parliament home? How long do we suffer the insufferable idiocies of the American Congress, circa 2009, and a president who thinks he is in a Hollywood epic, which really turns out to be a tragedy for the American people?

PRESIDENTIAL CHARM?
Charm, my foot, barry is CRUDE.
Every 'special needs' individual in our Country has more 'CLASS'.
The President of our Nation, who has the NEED to 'Entertain' himself, thinking the American people have the NEED to be 'Entertained' is a narcissistic and immature hack.
You can take a person out of their Nature, but you can't take the Nature out of the person.

No, Frank --
You've got it all wrong if you think people like me and other readers / posters to this website are following the direction of the Repulican party. No, we see this dope for what he is -- a complete dope -- and did from the time he began running for POTUS. We don't need to hear anything Republicans might conveniently use against him, because we noticed it before they appropriated it. We saw these things when they happened...the coyly giving Hillary the finger while pretending to be scratching his face, the "lipstick on a pig" comment, the snubbing of the British PM (purposely tacky and cheap gift) and British people (returning of the Churchill bust) because the chip on the Kenyan's shoulder toward the British, bowling and filling in brackets when he should be concentrating on the economy, thanking himself for a party with the Irish PM due to his dependence on a teleprompter, looking for any excuse not to stay in the WH and work, rolling over and peeing on himself to win favor with Iran and North Korea...I could go on and on. No, we don't need Republicans to point these things out. They're all too obvious, and at the same time, frightening.

Frank in Virginia
If your post wasn't so incoherent because of your rambling gibberish that I could figure out what the hell you're talking about, I might try to reply. But since you make NO sense at all, I'm not even going to try.

I will answer one thing you said though, "People like Marines dad are in the MINORITY and they can't stand it."

You couldn't possibly be more wrong. This has nothing to do with Consrvatives being "in the minority."
It has EVERYTHING to do with having a totally incompetent moron, who has never run, or been in charge of ANYTHING, in his entire life trying to run the most powerful nation on this planet without a clue as to what he's doing.

Even a lot of his own advisors, and NOW FORMER supporters are now admitting that putting him into that office was a HUGE mistake, and telling him what he needs to do to correct the problems.
But as I said in my first post, he's ignoring even them because they aren't telling him what he wants to hear.

Frank
Your incoherent ramblings perfectly illustrate the ignorance and comprehension abilities of the average Obama worshiper. Your post only reinforces my opinion.

You can take this to the bank, Frank
IF President Obama makes ANY attempt to form his "Civillian Defense Force" then
1. Downsize and defund our armed forces to the point where his CDF can take over their duties,

2. IF he tries to use his CDF to replace the current law enforcement structure of this country

3. If he tries to invalidate the SECOND AMENDMENT and use the Military and/or his CDF to confiscate the legally owned firearms of the citizens of this nation

Being as how ALL of those things are direct violations of the Constitution of this country, as well as his oath to defend the same, HE WILL have a rebellion by THE ENTIRE United States Armed Forces on his hands.

THEY WILL literally and physically remove him from office, by force if necessary, and take him into custody for treason aqainst this nation.

You can bank on that. The military swears their oath to the Constitution, not the President.

Are They Selling Obama's Stock Yet?
Marine's Dad, right on! Too many Americans are afraid to really face up to what they elected to the presidency. Even our so-called elite, highly educated citizens said, "Oh, forget about that stuff about his Marxist, radical friends. He'll govern from the center when he gets into office." Yeah, right!

THallers, most of us who didn't go to prestigious colleges saw this coming right from the beginning. I especially enjoy the panic of those Wall Street barons, like Jim Cramer, who voted for, and contributed, to Democrat candidates throughout their careers.

That stock is blowing up in their faces and the Masters of the Universe are hung by their own petards.

Move over....
James Buchanan and Jimmah Carter.
We have a new 'worst ever' president.

And Joel-de, when is our first meeting? I'll be there.

Children 'Playing' Government

Barack Obama is a pathological narcissist and has a very weak sense of self.

Barack Obama compensates his devalued and injured self with pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority.

Barack Obama retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent.

All children create such a world. Narcissists like Barack Obama, simply don’t leave it.

Barack Obama has carried this world of pretense into his adulthood.

Barack Obama has made this world so real, he NO longer can differentiate his world, from reality (real world).

When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur.

Barack Obama emotionally, is still a little hurt boy (from a dysfunctional family), neglected and unloved in the body and mind of a grown up man.

Barack Obama, can and will be dangerous.

Barack Obama has the emotional maturity of a child, but the intellect of a man.


Barack Obama is a 'Perpetual Child' and will project the rage of a child towards Liberals and anyone else when they begin to criticize his failures to produce his campaign rhetoric.

Gold, Jerry! Gold!
People like K-Mac are just waiting, itching to find some reason to criticize Obama. This was gold. This was a great gaffe that they could use to make Obama look like an uncaring, cold man. Out of two years of campaigning and two months in office, they analyze everything he says and does to try to find something they can use for a reason to throw mud.

This is all they've got so far.

Barack Obama 'Epitome of Arrogance'

The only reason Barack Obama hasn't insulted more World leaders with his Arrogant, Narcissistic attitude and 'Mussolini' chin, is he hasn't had a chance yet.

Give him a chance, the Whole World will agree that he is an ignorant buffoon.

Dave from VA

In an Adult human society, one expects a logical discussion based on facts and reason.

Many Town Hall posters exhibit these traits, while peppered among these adults are 'Perpetual Children, those who have the body and intellect of an adult, but the emotions of a child.

These 'Perpetual Children' react to a column or adult posters, with remarks like a child would.

The core of their childish reactive responses are "I don't want to hear that because it doesn't conform to my view".

They either use personal attacks on the author of the column, or personal attacks toward any commenter that has made a pertinent comment.

This 'Attack the Messenger' approach, is not only childish but delusional.

Instead of the 'Attack the Messenger' approach, why not refute the information?

These 'Perpetual Children' do not use facts, logic and reason, but rather the petulance of a child, coupled with the narcissism of a child and a mixture of intuition, emotion and 'Verbal Foot Stomping'.


CIA-FBI Monitoring!
I expect the authorities [FBI, CIA, etc] are monitoring the more rabid posts on Townhall. Some are just brain-damaged blather but others are getting DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS!

Late Show Gaffe
I cannot self-righteously condemn the comment, because I have also made fun of the retarded. Not proud of it. What is troubling is BHO's cockiness. MSM has so enabled him that he can get away with anything. Have you heard them praising him for the depth of his "apology?" Pleae, get me the air sickness bag.

Going slightly off topic here
There was a tea party in Orlando yesterday. The estimated attendance was 5000-6000 and we had a great time. One of the featured singers, Lloyd Marcus, a black man, pointed out that he was NOT and African-American, he was an AMERICAN! There was no violence and the park where we held the party was as clean after the party as it was before (something that can't be said about the National Mall after Odumbo's coronation). There was a typical Odumbo supporter, fat, sloppy and unkempt, who showed up looking to agitate things. He picked the wrong place to do it, what with all the veterans (myself included) present who had no patience for his nonsense. He got booed out of the place and probably went off looking for his next handout. Other than that it was a great time of patriotism and love of country. I'm looking forward to the next tea party in my area.

Retired Geek... You're Right!

What's so sad is that most Psychologists support Barack in spite of what they are 'supposed' to know about mental illness.

Barack was abandoned by his biological father as a toddler - a crucial personality development stage in his life.

Then Momma got herself a new man - who decided that little Barack was worthless - and sent him away to live with his 'typical' racist Granny (again, during Barack's crucial years).

Barack's tragic childhood portended his current moral confusion - his intense sense of worthlessness - leading to these repetitive and self-punishing gaffes.

Looking at his moral capacity, Barack is more stunted than most of our Special Olympians.

marine's dad
See you are so angry you're just sitting around in your bomb shelter contemplating worse case senarios like most tin foil hat wearing wingnuts of your ilk.

The very fact that you are fixated on this CDF pinpoints you as an extremist wacko who' sad dream it is thta Obama will get removed from office by force-hardly the the kind of thoughts we would expect from the father of a Marine but typical of so many right wing haters who are basically incapable of seeing past their own myopic visions of Obama-hatred.

Luckily I am familiar with much of the trash your wrote last year during the campaign and I would like to point out to you that not a single one of you ignorant prognostications have come to fruition. Not one. You my my friend are having a very hard time adjusting to getting so many things completely wrong.

Hence why you are bitter, angry, and in for a long eight years until you and your conservative ilk learn to eat a little crow and re-learn some humility.

When do we march on DC?
I'm in. If you need another military vet, here I am.

Marines Dad et al

"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem."

Ronald Reagan

I could care less about ZerO's gaffe --
What concerns me more is that the idiot revealed that he's been spending time bowling, all while the economy is in a meltdown. And to think GWB used to be accused of a lack of gravitas...

Kevin
"...But the truth is Mr. President you're not tacky.

You're cheap. Selfish. You bathe in arrogance. And your words sans teleprompter are cruel, cutting, and more times than not confusing...."

This quote says it all, Kevin. You are irrational when it comes to President Obama and the worse part is that you realize that you are also irrelevant LOL

Liberals 'Hate America'

A black woman from the District of Columbia who lost children to "gun violence" and who advocates for the victims of unsolved murders is calling on liberal Democrats to come to grips with the Second Amendment and vote for a bill before Congress that would give D.C. a vote in the House of Representatives at the cost of rescinding the city's stringent gun control laws.

"I want my vote to be counted. I want representation in Congress. And I also want the right to bear arms," Valencia Mohammed, director of Mothers of Unsolved Murders, is quoted in the March 21 Washington Post.

Mohammed went on to note the racist history of gun control against slaves and former slaves during Reconstruction before asserting she wants "all of those rights that they were denied."

Hmmm
For those who want to "move on" and who think Obama's Special Olympics comment was a mere gaffe, I would ask you to consider how you would feel if (1) George W Bush made the remark, (2) Rush Limbaugh made the remark, or (3) you were the parent of a special needs child?

Mr. McCullough has provided a keen insight to the abilities of a man wholly unprepared to be president - and for the lefties, 'fess up: you would be salivating if Bush made the number of mistakes Obama has made, yet you find room in your heart to excuse BHO.

The sad thing, Mr. McCullough, is that the people who need to read and understand your analysis are the very people whose arrogance and ignorance will prevent them from doing so.

Think about it --- the very government that has run Social Security into bankruptcy is now claiming to have a better idea for fixing the economy?

We are spending the money of our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren - and no one on the left seems to understand or care?

Well said, Mr. McCullough.

Obama's comment on the Special Olympics
reveals the soul of the man: he wants those kids aborted because he is an abortion happy politico who is exporting our dollars abroad to pay for these little deaths. This from a man born to an 18 year old mother. However, I am not surprised by any of his gaffe or little cruelties: I expected this. I am just sad that the rest of the country was fooled.

Oh, great!
Now we get to be treated to the blatherings of Hal the Liar, who will not address the substance of the article but will, instead, make ad hominem attacks against the writer. Time to go do something constructive, this thread just went downhill.

The Doofass scribbles:

When it comes to irrational about Obumf*ck, look in a mirror. He could kill a puppy in the Rose Garden on national TV, and you'd say he was helping to lessen the number of unwanted pets.

Excllent article
and I agree with most points Kevin. However I will not recognize BO as POTUS until he provides a real birth certificate. The man is an embarrassment and so is his wife.
What will TOTUS say next?

President gaffe's....
"....or accepting priceless gifts from fellow heads of state that were made out of the very historical relics that loosed the chains holding freedom from people like you from being able to achieve your dreams, then it just begin to looks tacky."

Yes, I do think some heads of state are made from historical relics.What a sentence!How about, "..accepting from fellow heads of state, priceless gifts...."

Obama Socialized Psychopath or Sociopath

Most American Citizens wonder why Barack Obama has selected and placed, weak and incompetent people to positions of power.

The most obvious are Joe Biden and Tim Geithner.

Both of these men crave influence, respect, and power, but they lack the necessary competencies to achieve their desires.

These incompetent 'Morons' do NOT understand, that Barack Obama has chosen them specifically because they are incompetent and must depend on Barack Obama for their positions.

The consequent dependency, on this Sociopath - Barack Obama - makes them permanent manipulatees, expendable pawns to absorb the harassment that should be directed towards Barack Obama.

Barack Obama knows he is unable to expound his thoughts without a Teleprompter, so he picks a human 'Gaffe Machine' like Joe Biden who is even worse than he, that would replace him should he fail.

Barack Obama wants the American Economic System destroyed, so that he can replace Capitalism with Socialism, so he picks an absolutely incompetent 'Rube' Tim Geithner, to head up the Treasury and then announces great confidence in Geithner.

It is no accident that both of these 'Rubes' are white.


Frank, you have no idea
what the hell you are talking about. This site has republicans, independants, democrats who have seen the light and idiots like yourself who would kiss Obama's butt in the middle of the town square given half a chance. This was the guy who was' going to have the most transparent administration in history'. That lasted about 30 minutes. He was going to 'post on his website all bills five days before signing' that lasted 10 minutes. You cite a cnn poll that his approval is 84%. Rediculous. According to Rasmussen his APPROVAL RATING is 4%. Thats 38% think he is great, 34% think he really sucks. Even adding the wishywashy ones Rasmussen rates him around 53%. Maybe 80%+ can be had if you only ask 18-25 year old females. You also state that he inherited the recession from Bush. Well, sure he did, just like Bush inherited one from Clinton. The difference is Bush manned up and did something about it and we had 6 years of growth. In the last 2 years of the Bush administration the DEMOCRATS had control of the congress, and Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Barak Obama stole as much as they could while setting up a major recession in '07.Obama got caaught out, he thought he knew what the other crooks were doing and it would be a piece of cake to reverse it. I really do think he did not know how bad it was, but it was setup by his party. And now even the MSM is seeing that we have a 'nancy boy' in the Whit House, totally inept, i ncompetent and incapable of doing asnything but run awayat the first sign of trouble.

THE NEXT TIME we are attacked
we will know, at the very least, that our President saved the swamp rats in San Francisco, funded abortions abroad, disarmed our commercial pilots, insured the killing of American infants for laboratory purposes, and otherwise pi**ed away the $9 trillion we now need to fight back. Change we can believe in!!

Great Article
This is a tacky presidency, if, indeed, Obama really is the president. Despite all of the episodes that have occurred, I am amazed that there are still the lower class people who defend him. How simple-minded must one be not to understand that by destroying the United States, all levels of society are ruined, except the politicians, of course. This is the reason I continue to say that we need voter reform laws that deny any except tax-paying, property-owning, registered, literate citizens to vote and only on Election day. By the same token, we need term limits on the corrupt who occupy Congress. If this nation can somehow avoid utter annihilation by this maniac, we need to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. I think conservatives need a government-funded group similar to ACORN, without the criminal element, to sell a pro-American package and mobilize sane voters. And we need it now. There is currently no leadership in the conservative ranks and citizens are floundering while the nation turns belly up. What an awful mess we are in!

Majority or Sanity - pick one

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane" - Marcus Aurelius

old sailor
the 84% figure I quote from the WSJ was not a popularity poll-that is the number of americans who responded that they felt Obama inherited the crisis from Bush.

So please read things a little more closely before flying off half cocked and making yourself look pretty stupid.

As you know there are popularity polls that completely disprove your premise.

But is sure is nice to see conservatives giving Scott rasmussen the respect he deserves. Limbaugh prefers Zogby but if you conservatives are back to meeting moderates in the middle on polling data then certainly the Murdock owne Wall Street journal must be accepted a s credible source for conservative opine.



How 'bout this???

No body likes Bozo!!!!



Obama-nomics
A popular joke making the internet rounds is "Entreprenuer is deciding what to do in this difficult economy. He wants a way to do this that makes sense. He cannot raise prices in a recession or lose more customers. He wanders into the parking lot and notices several Obama bumper stickers stating "Hope and Change". He gets a lightning bolt idea. He decides that each time he needs to shed jobs he will let go only those with those bumper stickers for Obama. They wanted change and he is going to give them exactly what they wanted."

Every small business person should adopt this policy immediately and watch the impact.

THE DEATH KNELL OF KEYNES?
Is Obamanomics the death knell of Keynesianism? The death of Keynes in the year George Bush was born and Ted Kennedy's near fatal tumor attack may be ominous signs of the coming end of Keynesian economics in America.

Exactly WHAT would one expect from

a PUNK COMMUNITY ORGANIZER???

Even if you didn't "get" Bozo's Marxist ideology, and it was NO secret, the fact that he INVITED HIMSELF to speak at Brandenburg Gate, for Pete's sake, and had to be UN-invited by Germany's Chancellor Merkle.

And then there was that tacky little gift he gave Brown.

The punk is CLUELESS!

And now Iran is laughing at him?


George_TN: Bye! :-)

The Brownshirts Are Coming!
Click my name and go to my blog and read about Obama's new brownshirt force.

The time to take action against the founding of this force is now, people.

Make sure to let your elected officials know you're against this new development on Obama's part.

Who cares Useful idiots
Sounds as though we have Congress posting. Take a good look. Mr. Obama is not terribly fluent without a teleprompter.

Had nothing more important to do than go on Jay Leno. Couldn't read the paragraph that allowed AIG bonuses, to busy preparing for the show. Couldn't ask why we weren't giving gauruntees to AIG instead of paying them cash, had to talk to the tv networks about the dog. Didn't have time to select people for treasury needed to make my brackets choices.

Didn't ask Congress why it was they created the legislation in 82 that led to the S&L bailout, didn't question congress why then they created the system in 2000 that allowed companies to bundle securities. Didn't ask you why in 2006 with Freddie and Fannie collapsing you didn't realize this was 86 all over again, although most of the democrat members of Congress were there.

MARINE'S DAD IS CORRECT (#15) !!!!!!!!!
There are more armed citizens who would be willing to fight for our country (from a constitutional basis) than most doubters think. I've heard many people shutter at this idea of an armed revolution (even radio talk show hosts). But it is interesting how this kind of talk didn't start until BO took office. Not all americans are stupid. They can see that their country is being literally ripped in half and deficated upon before their very eyes. Now I'm not advocating a revolution and I would certainly hope that it would never come to pass, however, it is important to remember that the founding fathers gave us the second ammendment FOR A REASON!!! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY DAMMIT!!!!! Blessings to all!

Watch Out
I have seen a lot in the last 68 years. Now I see that affirmative action has run it's ultimate scam. If you're not white you must be compensated for what the fates did to you. Keep rewarding the imcompetent and we end up with an affirmative action president. What is his #1 qualification? He's black. But his radical handlers will gladly sacrifice him to start a race war while we are hoping for a real revolution.

Watch your back Mr.O; your own supporters will sacrifice you for their own ends.

World's Appraisal of Obama
Retired Geek: "The only reason Barack Obama hasn't insulted more World leaders with his Arrogant, Narcissistic attitude and 'Mussolini' chin, is he hasn't had a chance yet.

"Give him a chance, the Whole World will agree that he is an ignorant buffoon."

It's a good bet they have already realized that the U.S. is led by a alienated American, a dysfunctional product of two races who doesn't know who he is. If he could manage it, he would probably destroy his white half. I'm sure many of our allies, especially Israel, are factoring in the conclusion that they cannot depend on America any more.

"Got your back, bro," no longer applies to America's foreign affairs posture. Instead, it's "Good luck, you're on your own."

Putin and the Iranian mullahs are rubbing their hands in glee. And Osama bin Ladin is exclaiming, four times a day, "Thanks, Allah."


zerO MUST GO
Obobo is an absolute disgrace to the USA - arrogant, lazy, self-righteous, mean-spirited, and empty Follywood cartoon, - he's a Chicago thug who plays as being president, a facilitator, not a leader - and he is setting about to destry our country.
Remember Obobo's "Words, just words.." crap -
YES, words, you idiot - Words that reveal Obama very soul - "I won," "I screwed up," "typical white person," "campaign in all 57 states," "punished by a baby," "...Special Olympics" ALL OBOBO'S WORDS expose his ugliness, his coldness, his any means to any ends, his using people to get what he wants, his absolute ignorance of America, his incompetence, his self-love, his frat-brat sarcastic puerile self - only classless crass bores like Obama make fun of innocents - his words are Obama: witless, oafish, tasteless, mindless, stupid, coarse, barbarian, thuggish, vulgar, ill-bred, brutish - Obobo is all of that and more - Obobo is a dedicated Marxist socialist who is ruining our beloved country.Obambi is a Soros sock-puppet cartoon - a disgrace to the USA along with his nitwit clueless sycophant Biden.
Americans better wake up before their children become slaves to the state and foreign power - Obobo cares only for Obobo -
Voters were gullible and blind -
I feel exactly the way Kevin McCollough does...Obama is creepy, sinister, menacing...he has stolen billions from the American tax payer and put his thugs in charge and zerO must be stopped!
WAKE UP, AMERICANS - the hatred zerO has spawned against the wealthy and the Union and Acorn targeting of them - especially the AIG people - is betrayal of all America represents
and Obambi is behind it all -
The USA is in grave danger from zerO - The American people better put down their pitchforks and pick up the American Revolution.

Spot on
Well done Kevin. I have a daughter with CP and I found the president's comment to be appalling. Yes, I've heard similar joking from other equally thoughtless people, but this is the President for God's sake. He can't make "off the cuff" comments because his every utterance has meaning, whether he likes it or not. Sorry Barry, but it goes with the job, just like that "cool" airplane and the weekly "Earth, Wind, and Fire" concerts in the East Room.

Let's look at what is really going on that we only get glimpses of;

UN, Russia pushing for one world currency (Obama accepting the plan as per his GLOBAL POVERTY BILL.. which is a great topic for next Saturday's radio show)...

Okay, that's it. The seemingly MOST IMPORTANT and tragic political scandal to ever be thrown at the world...Esp the USA, Britain and Israel.

This is no longer the now lame claim from our friend Sean Hannity of European Socialism...

This is not something that just came up due to the circumstances of the economy...

This is a planned event and may be proven with the Democrat's GLOBAL POVERTY BILL which was called Obama's Bill.

Okay folks.. time to stand on our hind legs and do something. We must solve the economic issue as the government's method is something from Logan's Run, Solient Green or Orwell's 1984.

I took my oath . . .
quite some time ago. It is FACT that I (and my brothers in arms in the military) have NEVER (and never will) rescind the OATH that I took when I first joined the military. This oath owes NO allegiance to any person, but only to defend the Constitution of the United States from ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.

Church? I wasn't aware...

You mean to tell me (like his invisible dog) this idiot has not found a church in Washington worthy of his presence?

So, pray tell, why was it that Barack found it necessary to attend his overtly Radical - and Racist to a fault - Church for 20 years?

Oh, I get it! Barack 'only' attends radical racist anti-White Churches. And since attending his preferred Church wouldn't cut it politically at the moment, he puts his 'real' faith temporarily on hold.

I'm really starting side with my Democrat friends - the ones who think they made a big fat boo-boo last November :-)

Carlos and Anne
wow you guys must be related!

Or perhaps its just the Obama derangement sysndrome rearing its ugly head.

I understand that that you must be hurting deeply inside particularly after talking all kinds of garbage about liberals, democrats, and Obama for as long as you have only to have your entire world view repudiated by a national election. That must be quite a sore spot and I can understand where that kind of anger come from and that it must be hard to live with.

Certainly you are going to not enjoy the next four years but don't you think its just a tad early on to freak out so much? Are you people really going to be like this for four years? that's a lot of useless negativity but if this is what it takes from either of you going postal and hurting somebody then certainly I don't begrudge your sole emotional outlet.

Conservatives need to find a way to artiuclate their message without the kind of rhotic and bile that you two like to spread. Certainly conservatives have voices that are not mean spirited but hopeful that their brand of politic can work. Certainly the tired old rants and old way of thinking of many of the posters on this thread are not going to help revieve a party in need leadership and a message.

Good luck.

While O on with Leno
Was Biden going over Treasury staff appointments, talking with NATO leaders about their reconsidering of their rules of engagement in Afganistan, meeting with Congress on to find out why they allowed AIG to get a full cash payment and filling out his NCAA bracket?

How long does it take to get booked with Leno? Just a phone call, "Hey, Jay the O hear, going to be in town let's do a night, that's good for me nothing improtant going on here". To a staffer "Got to go play entertainer in chief help keep the country's mood lighten up. It's good for the people to see things are not as bad as we said they were".

"...But the truth is Mr. President you're not tacky.

You're cheap. Selfish. You bathe in arrogance. And your words sans teleprompter are cruel, cutting, and more times than not confusing...."

This quote says it all, Kevin. You are irrational when it comes to President Obama and the worse part is that you realize that you are also irrelevant LOL

When it comes to irrational about ....(President Obama), look in a mirror. He could kill a puppy in the Rose Garden on national TV, and you'd say he was helping to lessen the number of unwanted pets."

This was said before and is completely untrue. The man is just in office two months and you extremists can't stand it so we get quotes like above. Your divisiveness is so over

Gaffes
Unless the gaffe is truly intentional it will be forgotten. Truth is, I don't care what he thinks of the special olympics, or minorities, or space exploration as long as the people are governed for. AS IN FOR THE PEOPLE. Although I wouldnt have made the comment he made.

Take for example taxes. Its difficult to learn exactly what the proposed tax rates would be. Go to white house website(or the tax PDF) and read about the taxes. It reads like more campaign rhetoric. Im sure if I spent more than 5 minutes I could answer my own question but doesnt it seem like on the tax page at whitehouse.org there should be an explanation of the taxes, not an explanation of how the taxes would affect us?

Just like the stimuli bill we have no clue. Why isnt there more outrage at the fact that a bill as massive as the stim bill could be voted on without knowing what was in there. Im sick of the media, including FOX, jump on these minor screwups when there are far more important screwups to cover. We can't take our eye off the ball for even 5 minutes with the horrible congress and Obama in charge.

doofass: Oh c'mon! Bozo has done NOTHING

but make a complete idiot of himself...

He's embarrassed this country even before he was "Crowned"... remember Brandenburg Gate???

Such arrogance and a total lack of decorum and international diplomacy...

We won't even bother to go into the TIMES he's insulted the Brits.

Now Iran is laughing and mocking him... world wide.

And just as we TOLD YOU, he's nationalizing the financial companies... You did hear that he now wants to oversee (regulate) salaries and bonuses on PRIVATELY HELD COMPANIES, didn't you?

And now he's got his "brown shirts" ready to be up and running...

Quote Of The YEAR!. 2008
The Spectator – UK


“You have to punch yourself – a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, and endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in the turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power and anti-white racists, Jew haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States.

"And apparently, it’s considered impolite to say so.”

Ultra gaffe
"Where is your plan to deal with a now nuclear boasting Iran?"

Come on, its been dealt with.

Really tho did you miss the new years salutation to Iran? Im amazed that the country has more interest in the PRES talking down the special olympics than the ultra-gaffe presented in the video message to Iran. Here I can paraprase it for ya if you missed it.

Hello Iran, I want to wish you a happy new year on this great day of Islamic pride.......
BTW, On this great day for you, we are willing to be friends unless you do not do what we want.

I could have done much better at a first attempt at diplomacy with Iran. Heres what I would have said.

Hello Iran, I want to wish you a happy new year on this great day of Islamic pride.......
Then I would have said yours truly,PBO.

In other words why send a holiday card with an objective, why not just a holiday card and a smile. In his first attempt he lectures Iran and the people of Iran on their holy day. Know thats a gaffe!

what the hell you are talking about..."

Ahhh but you are far smarter than everyone else and you know what you are talking about? Certainly doesn't sound it reading all you type

"...This was the guy who was' going to have the most transparent administration in history'. That lasted about 30 minutes. He was going to 'post on his website all bills five days before signing' that lasted 10 minutes. ..."

Let's go over it all again Obama has been president two months. He was confronted by the bush depression requiring rapid action. He took it. Rather than condemning him you should be praising him especially if we can avoid total economic collapse. Now let's see what he does going forward

"...You cite a cnn poll that his approval is 84%. Rediculous...."

Who cares what the polls are Oabam has not been in office long enough for a poll to be meaningful. But it does appear that far more folks support him now than voted for him. The do nothing but condemn conservatives and the limbawl led republican party deserve all the contempt that they are reaping

"....You also state that he inherited the recession from Bush. Well, sure he did, just like Bush inherited one from Clinton. The difference is Bush manned up and did something about it and we had 6 years of growth...."

No actually he whined and then went on a spending binge with zero oversight and caused a needless war with Iraq. The failed Bush regime has nearly destroyed the American economy and it still is not out of the woods yet


auld2
"... and Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Barak Obama stole as much as they could while setting up a major recession in '07..."

Their is a lie.

"...Obama got caaught out, he thought he knew what the other crooks were doing and it would be a piece of cake to reverse it. I really do think he did not know how bad it was, but it was setup by his party..."

No one knew how bad it was because of the failed bush's incompetence. I love how you conservatives removed all oversight, dump everything into the private sector and wonder why the economy crashed.

"...And now even the MSM is seeing that we have a 'nancy boy' in the Whit House, totally inept, i ncompetent and incapable of doing asnything but run awayat the first sign of trouble."

The only "'nancy boy'"s (not that there is a single thing wrong with that) I see on here are the weak and timid conservative posters who can neither accept responsibility nor offer constructive answers. Typical

Furthermore
The video that was offered to Iran was a stupid idea. Hey lets overproduce a video, cut it up and send it. Why not just make mention during a speech, "and now I would like to take a moment to offer the people of Iran a happy new year during this holy time for them." end of story, no lecture, no condescending BS, just a sweet and simple salutation and certainly not an overproduced hollywierd video tape!

"...BTW, when it comes to being divisive, again look in a mirror. Divisiness was the hallmark of you and your fellow Dumbsh1tcraps from 01/20/2001 to 01/20/2009..."

Actually not me it wasn't; even after the stolen election I actually rooted for him and was impressed when the failed bush invaded Afghanistan. He lost me when he said he wanted war with Iraq and let Al Q and Osamas go free

doofass to auldsailor362: "Ahhh but you

are far smarter than everyone else and you know what you are talking about?"

Typical condescending, snarky little opener, wouldn't you say?

Well, perhaps auldsailer does know MORE than you at least...

And the fact is, all YOU have is "the failed Bush admin.," yaddah, yaddah, yaddah....

It might be helpful for you to come to grips with the fact that Bozo and Dodd, and who knows who else, were up to their EARS in this mess years ago.

You are aware, are you not, that Bozo got big bucks from AIG for his campaign????

Now we know exactly why Bozo hadn't even managed a lemonade stand.... Because he couldn't!


Doofass:
You have been nothing but divisive, derisive, and a major prevaricator to boot.

BTW, the 2000 election was not stolen. All of the major media did their own recounts, and in every instance GWB won.

Come on we all know the dems refused to approach the topic of Fannie and Freddie. No, not while all of their undeserving constituents were getting new houses. NO WAY. We all know Bush sounded the warning only to get pooh poohed by the dems and ACORN. We also know that dems voted for the war. As far as I can tell the dems not only were the majority of the problem when it came to the economy during the last two years but now they are gambling with our money so they can fulfill some leftist agenda. How many presidents have governed from such a radical stance as to ignore half of the population. The oversight the congress had wasnt used why do you expect that more oversight would have helped?

Further, how did some government folks know about the probs at fannie and freddie? And really just try and answer that for me, Wiothout oversight how did McCain come to realize that down the road was a big problem with Fannie and Freddie?

As if oversight means that people do their jobs or something.

The neighborhood gun shop
is now a wall shop. Since i stopped by 2 weeks ago, they have been cleaned out. No pump or self-loader shotguns left out of maybe 15, no ammo in common calibers except for some boxes of .30/06 on the counter selling for 32.50. A couple years ago i picked up 3 boxes at WalMart for 8.88 for my nephew. I hear its pretty much the same all over red America. Of course, this probably isn't happening in NYC or San Fran. Do they even have any gun shops to be cleaned out?
There are unlit fuses laying around all over this country. Surely Dumbo and company have the sense to avoid another Ruby Ridge or Waco. On the other hand, Dumbo has acted more swiftly and boldly than almost anyone anticipated. He is a loose and loaded cannon, but he has a lot to lose. More worrisome is the sort of nutcase worshipper who thinks he/she has permission to do something foolish.

It's perfectly clear who the Marines loved and respected, and who they merely tolerate, because they have to.

You conveniently forget one of the failed bush's main 2004 campaign claims was HE created the largest number of homeowners in US history, seems to me who owns this one from the failure's own mouth even

"... How many presidents have governed from such a radical stance as to ignore half of the population..."

This is easy to answer the last president for one

"... The oversight the congress had wasnt used why do you expect that more oversight would have helped?..."

What oversight the law mandated was not exercised one example in 1990's Clinton had years where over 1,000 companies were prosecuted in the failed bush regime there were years with below 10 companies prosecuted. This is the origin of your illegal alien challenge. But in every sector Federal oversight was severely limited. This is one reason why I say failed before GW's name and regime. They were incompetent to their very core

Biden 'Gaffe' ? or the Truth

Talk about the audacity of hope. … President Obama does send his greetings, though. He can’t be here tonight -- because he’s busy getting ready for Easter. (Whisper) He thinks it’s about him. …

Old Satire on the Internet
Old Satire, circulating on the Internet, apropos today.
==============

Dear employees,

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management. Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SH!T (Special High Intensity Training) as possible.

Management has always prided itself on the amount of SH!T it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SH!T, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been trained to give you all the SH!T you can handle!

Enjoy the New Year
Sincerely, The Management

John Murtha (D-Pa.) as it collected nearly $250 million in federal funding through the lawmaker, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post and sources familiar with the funding requests. The center then channeled a significant portion of the funding to companies that were among Murtha's campaign supporters.

The two advisers included a lobbyist for PMA, a firm with close ties to Murtha that is the subject of a federal probe into whether it made illegal contributions by reimbursing donors to the Pennsylvania lawmaker and other members of Congress. The Electro-Optics Center also relied on advice from a longtime Murtha friend who now works on the congressman's appropriations staff.

Glad I missed this one earlier

It just another string of lies spewed out by McCullough with the aim of motivating more hatred in his readers. Here's my favorite:

"And when you take the time to address an Islamic Republic via YouTube (after they had been burning you in effigy for weeks) with a plea to come to the table of intellects and have a philosophical wine and cheese night about how the world looks in your unicorn-excretion of utopia, but can still hear the ripple of laughter from Tehran five days later, you might even wonder if you deserve it."

Can't this guy say anyting remotely intelligent? It McCullough a teenager, or is he just really dumb?

Somehow "Ethical Life" and Murtha is kind of an oxymoron... :-)

We'd have to be HONEST so it would have to be "Living an UN-ethical Life," and, a forward by doofass would be, "Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies... "

(You know, doofass is a juvenile of few words, but he uses them a LOT!)

And, wouldn't it be more like doing a biography of Charlie Manson... Yikes!


Now, a biography of Joke Biden... THAT would be funny! :-)

Hal Donahue question?

Doesn't John Murtha have a brother named Robert "Kit" Murtha?
--------------

WASHINGTON — When Congress passed the $417-billion Pentagon spending bill last year, Rep. John P. Murtha, the top Democrat on the House defense appropriations subcommittee, boasted about the money he secured to create jobs in his Pennsylvania district.

But the bill Murtha helped write also benefited at least 10 companies represented by a lobbying firm where his brother, Robert "Kit" Murtha, is a senior partner, according to disclosure records, interviews and an analysis of the bill by The Times.

Clients of the lobbying firm KSA Consulting — whose top officials also include former congressional aide Carmen V. Scialabba, who worked for Rep. Murtha for 27 years — received a total of $20.8 million from the bill.

House Democrats have been blocking an ethics investigation into this matter. That has to stop now. It was sh!t like this that helped Democrats lose control of the House in 1994, and Republicans in 2006. I've got no interest in giving Republicans easy ammunition.

We have to show we are different than Republicans by refusing to tolerate any corruption in our ranks."

I think its pretty clear you're the moron who can't even comprehend what reality is and isn't. You have written many things on this blog over the past year and you have been wrong everytime. Seem you and Robert are always arguing but it looks like in the end he was right and you and your idiot son the REMF were wrong; Obama won. didn't you say over and over again how he was gong to lose?
Of course you've said many things that were lies, guess, and completely off base. Your collective opine has 110% inaccurate. So of course you don't like geting called on your BS-just like the fake marine you claim to be. A real solider of any kind would not be on this board talking as much bilge as you have.

Perhaps its time to get a wee bit of perspective before mouthing off so much?

doofass: You DIDN'T watch those videos,

did you? NO you did not!!!!

BUT, I think I figured out your problem... well, at least one of them!

Pres. Bush knew he was PRESIDENT... unlike Bozo who thinks he's "king" or "czar" or the "Easter Rabbit" or something.

There is a separation between the branches of government, (it's that old "balance of power thing! Who knew!) and as PRESIDENT, Bush went to Congress (as he should have done!) instead of whipping out that Exec. Order pen...

And yes, there is that issue of a Republican controlled Congress, but then there's that pesky ol' rule about "majority"... simple and two thirds, etc., and then you get into votes to prevent a filibuster, etc., etc., etc.

You really should do some reading about that... You'll better understand how thing really work on The Hill, and how it's not just a simple and simplistic as you'd like to think.

But the bottom line is, the LIBERAL IN CONGRESS LIED about Mac and Mae, and were just hateful when the very question of "investigation" and "more oversight" came up....

Meeks even said he was "p!ssed off." Whoa!

It is very difficult to debate with someone you must first educate.

I know you are an intelligent and gifted teacher, but you are taking on a monumental task with Hal Donahue.

Hal Donahue does NOT have, even a rudimentary understanding of the American Government and how it works.

If anyone could teach Hal Donahue anything, you are the best candidate, if you succeed - would you give my 'Pet Rock' a few lessons?

article
Very well said!!!!

Tin ear, no brain, no courage
The messiah could play all three roles in the Wizard of OZ: He's got a tin heart, can't use his brain, and he's got no courage. His abortion-loving wife would make a really great Wicked Witch (#2, Hillary being the one from the West) and the silly ninnies in Congress (Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid) are shoe-ins for the flying monkeys. Biden could be the monkey that takes orders from the witch - and the resemblance is oddly accurate.

Off to watch basketball

I think I will watch some basketball - later.

Best article I have read on nobama
Maybe we should all email this article to him to read. He could put it on his teleprompter and read it correctly--but would he listen. I guess those big ears are just for show.

OUCH! THAT MUST SMART!
Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanx for a superlative essay. It is truly heart warming to read. But I do disagree about Joe Biden. Even tho I voted for Sen. McCain; at this point, I would ecstatically welcome Joe Biden as President. He doesn't speak PC. He just speaks what's on his mind, and like him or not, you gotta love him for that! Especially when D.C. is sinking in a swamp of lies from all directions. Maybe BHO would consider swapping offices with Joe Biden. Ya think????

Obama Having Fun
Does anyone doubt Obama is enjoying seeing the devastation he is overseeing? He is not worried one bit,or if he is he is hiding it very well.

If any other person was president under these circumstances,they would not be partying and yukking it up on the Leno Show. They would be hoping and praying that the bleeding could be stopped.

No,this man has been following a script written by others. He is only supposed to sell it and sell it he is. Since he is doing it well,he is enjoying it immensly.

the doofus and his messiah
seems these two clowns share one thing in common. Both are clueless about america.

But that doesn't stop the doofus from continuing to tell all about his fgantasy that repubs are the party of the dead and that flap ears has all the answers.

But I think what we see is jealousy on the part of the doofus. He is a jerk, a nerd, a wannabe, and a bootlicker. But what a surprise so his flap ears, the doofuses messiah.

The only difference is that the media tells the country flap ears looks cool strutting in front of the camera with his designer shades.

While the doofus loafs around town in his worn second hand suit from the salvation army, the frayed cuffs on his shirts and the stained tie from spilling his beer on himself.

But the doofus looks at the messiah and envisions something great in himself, alas something that will never be. But in the meantime he will cut and paste, cite huffpuff and move on as impecable sources and after he gets off his knees to service his messiah, tell himself he is just as gifted and loved

Rowly... Obama does seem more
like a typical car salesman. Not having even basic knowledge of the product he is selling - but happy enough to play dress-up and dance for the nickels.

Thanks Anne!

From anger to madness: A class-warfare crazed government mob is running amok
Sunday, March 22nd 2009, 4:00 AM

Everybody makes mistakes, and I made a beaut the other day. I was wrong to call members of Congress blow-hards and buffoons and declare them worse than useless.

I was too kind.

I should have said our representatives are gangsters in pinstripes and pearls. They are petty tyrants and the more power they grab, the more at risk we are. Homeland Security should flash Code Red any time this Congress is in session.

It is twilight in America now. The House vote to use the tax code to retroactively punish bonus babies was an act of sheer madness. What started as phony outrage at AIG has crossed the line into insane policy. It is stunning that the vote was lopsided and bipartisan.

The Senate is itchy to go along, and President Obama says he's ready to tighten the thumbscrews on the banks. Is there no adult who will bring a straitjacket?

We should all be very afraid. Class warfare is mere predicate for a witch hunt that, once unleashed, will not stop with misbegotten wealth. It will punish success and stifle innovation. Dissent will invite dishonor.

That Congress is a gang of cheap connivers is not news. Chris Dodd, Charlie Rangel, Charles Grassley, Barney Frank - they have been national embarrassments for years.

UK Guardian Lists Top 10 Gaffes

Newspaper in the UK lists Top 10 gaffes by Barack Obama and Joe Biden - complete with videos of the gaffes.

The entire World is making fun of these two.

10. Just after he's been sworn in by him, the newly-minted Vice President Joe Biden gets the name of Justice John Paul Stevens, "one of the great justices" of the Supreme Court, wrong by calling him "Justice Stewart".

9. Barack Obama jokes about Nancy Reagan having séances in the White House. He later called her to apologise after the AP noted that although she had consulted astrologers, "she did not hold conversations with the dead".

8. Joe Biden forgets the "website number" for the White House internet site designed to show how TARP money is being spent.

7. Barack Obama mixes up the windows and doors at his new home.

6. Joe Biden jokes about Chief Justice John Roberts fluffing the inauguration oath. The president is visibly annoyed with his veep and Biden later apologizes.

5. A Marine One double. First, on his maiden Marine One trip Obama breaches protocol and makes life uncomfortable for an enlisted marine by shaking the the serviceman's hand as he's saluting his commander-in-chief.

4. Joe Biden tells his wife that he had the choice of being either Secretary of State or vice-president - an offer that was news to Obama aides and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when Jill Biden spilled the beans on Oprah.

3. Gordon Brown presents the new President with: a pen holder carved from the timbers of HMS Gannett, a sister ship of HMS Resolute; the commissioning certificate of HMS Resolute; and a seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In return, the Prime minister gets 25 DVDS, which don't work in Britain.

2. Joe Biden tells a former Senate colleague who addresses him as "Mr Vice-President" to "give me a f---ing break".

1. The latest one takes the biscuit. Barack Obama jokes about the disabled on the Jay Leno show. Afterwards, he calls the head of the Special Olympics to apologise.

Comment on UK Guardian

"What kind of monster mocks the handicapped?

I guess we shouldn't be too surprised by this gauche and downright cruel comment- no different than his classless cheap-shot on 90-yr-old Nancy Reagan in his first presser.

Trouble is that the REAL Barack tends to leak-out when he's not hard-wired to a TelePrompTer-

Narcissists are often callous- and even ruthless. They tend to lack empathy and/or a conscience. This is evident in Obama's lack of interest in his own half-brother who lives in poverty in Kenya, or his aunt found living in public housing in Boston.

Obama's almost certainly a pathological narcissist... the most dangerous charismatic leaders are, comes from an insecure childhood (like Barack's).

Indicators include control freakery, grandiose self-importance, feeling "above the law", interpersonally exploitive, inability to handle criticism, lack of empathy, arrogant behavior, surrounds himself with sycophants... sound familiar?

Obama is a mess- and his insecurities, bad childhood, and irresponsible, far-left-wierdo mother are now all OUR problem, too-"

------------------

The World loves Barack Obama??????

For the first time ever....
For the first time ever I am truly freightened for the future of my country with this regime in power. Even the Clintons were not this scary.
Obama has depended on the apathy and stupidity of a large segment of the population. Pretty soon he will push for amnesty for the illegal alien invaders to give him even more illiterate voters to depend on in the future.
I am almost looking forward to all those old, retired geezers down in Florida, who vote Democrat in very election, being told, when Obama's socialized medical program kicks in, that they cannot have the heart bypass, chemotherapy, hip replacement, etc. because there is a younger illegal alien with several illegal alien children more in need.
The problem is, however, that the rest of us will have to suffer along with those old fools.

I wonder how happy your grandchildren will be while living on welfare and vouchers because idiots like you fully supported your messiah's irresponsible spending.

Exactly how does growing the deficit at a rate 4 times higher than bush will make america a better place.

Imbeciles like you cried incessantly about bush deficits but they are dwarfed by what flap ears proposes and you fully support.

I guess you didn;t get the message about deficits when last years record deficit written by you pals pelousy and corrupt land deal reid proved the dims to be liars about getting spending under control.

But like everything else you remain as stupid as your love interest flap ears the pretender president. He doesn't undertand deficits and you are that stupid you can't justify the spending so you imitate an ostrich and hide your head in the sand rather than answer questions

LOS ANGELES -- A small plane crashed Sunday as it approached an airport in Montana, killing 17 people, including several children, the Associated Press reported, citing a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman. The single engine turboprop plane crashed about 500 feet from the airport in Butte while attempting to land, the spokesman said. The Montana Standard reported in an online story that it crashed in Butte's Holy Cross Cemetery. The aircraft had departed from Oroville, Calif., and preliminary reports indicated the dead include numerous children, according to the report.

"Are You Punch Drunk?"
President Barack Obama said he believes the global financial system remains at risk of implosion with the failure of Citigroup or AIG, touching off “an even more destructive recession and potentially depression.”

His remarks came in a “60 Minutes” interview in which he was pressed by an incredulous Steve Kroft for laughing and chuckling several times while discussing the perilous state of the world’s economy.

“You're sitting here. And you're— you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, ‘I mean, he's sitting there just making jokes about money—’ How do you deal with— I mean: explain. . .” Kroft asks at one point.

“Are you punch-drunk?” Kroft says.

“No, no. There's gotta be a little gallows humor to get you through the day,” Obama says, with a laugh.

The interview is Obama’s most detailed explanation yet of his view of the world economic crisis, and he makes clear that he’s afraid the nation hasn’t seen the worst of it – even invoking the possibility of a “depression” if a series of financial institutions collapse all at once.


He makes fun of handicapped children and laughs while people are losing their jobs, homes, and savings. Nice to know that the Wagyu-In-Chief feels the pain of Americans.

I had read Denise's description of the '60 Minutes' interview on another thread. As I posted there, I appreciate hearing about it as the absolute disgust I have for that man was too much to have me watch him.

I watched an MSNBC 'Dateline' on the housing crisis. I sincerely doubt any liberal would be approving of that show as liberals are so determined to lay everything at the door of GWB.

Of course Barack Obama laughed, he has been giddy with delight ever since the economic crisis began.

Barack Obama knows that America must go bankrupt or near bankruptcy for his agenda to have a chance.

I did not realize denise had posted the interview. I knew he was doing the interview,but I didn't watch him. The disgust is too strong.I might throw something at the tv.

That is what always has bothered me about this. He has never looked worried,even when he was trying to fake it.He is loving it.

That is why I know this was a plan set forth long ago and he is just their salesman for it.
When does he have time to do his job? The answer is...he doesn't . He just reads the script on his teleprompter.

Rowly, Retired Geek,
I have gotten more tired of seeing Obama constantly in front of a camera than I ever have with Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, Brittney Spears, or any of the other celebrity trash.

One of the major complaints I have is one of the things the libs most cherish, his speaking ability. I find him unintelligible. They claim he is a great orator. However, when I consider what is needed in the presidency - a calm hand, a plan, a sense that he is honest and steadfast - I find Obama to be a total failure. His constant self-contradictions are stunning. While GWB was far from an orator, he was not the master of political flim-flam that Obama is.

While Obama could go to California to be on Leno, he missed the Gridiron in Washington. All news channels have said that he is the first president since Grover Cleveland to do so. Why? It is my opinion that he is too thin-skinned and self-centered to be an object of jokes.

He could not wait to be elected; but, notice the number of times he says he is glad to get away from the WH. Considering the over-the-top entertaining he is doing, I don't want to hear his complaining. He can entertain the Congressional sleaze as if they were kings but is totally gauche in the reception and entertaining of foreign heads of state. It is a pity he never graduated from Chicago politics.

“No one will ever doubt that this former Army chief of staff (Eric Shinseki) has the courage to stand up for our troops and our veterans. No one will ever question whether he will fight hard enough to make sure they have the support they need,”
Barack Obama

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki confirmed Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering a controversial plan to make veterans pay for treatment of service-related injuries with private insurance.

This cane from the Barack Obama administration and was only canceled after the American Legion and others 'Fire Stormed' the White House.

Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi hate the military.

Summers,Geek...That is what always has bothered me about this. He has never looked worried,even when he was trying to fake it.He is loving it."

You mean like sully did? Would you prefer panic?

Shallow Hal
What is the measure by which you declare Obama 'smart'?

As to 'working hard', his multiple appearances in campaign mode to soft serve his excessive spending is not what I consider to be 'hard work'. Hard work would be sitting down, focusing on the greatest problems, i.e. banking and housing, reaching a practical and fiscally responsible solution and presenting it. Currently, he has had Pelosi in charge of drafting and delivering nothing short of bankrupting policies.

As to his 'diplomacy', you should check the ridicule he has received from Ahmadinejad and Chavez Friday and yesterday. He may be reaching out to them; but, they are kicking him in the teeth.

Earth to 'Shallow Hal'

I realize you know little to nothing about most anything.

Barack Obama is the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the United States and his Administration.

Barack Obama is just as culpable (if you need culpable explained ask) for what his Administration does or proposes as the CEO of AIG and any other Business is culpable.

DON'T YOU EVER MAKE SO SILLY AND SORRY A STATEMENT AGAIN. Some of us here have lost sons. How dare you!

Summers, Rowly et al

I was on a foreign website yesterday and a East European commenter said to me:

"It looks like George Bush was a Shakespeare, compared to Barack Obama."

All over the world citizens are saying that Barack Obama, off Teleprompter, is a 'Buffoon'.

Me perhaps LOL but Scranton and NEPA not at all. Actually Scranton is growing and the arts are thriving. As you might expect when diversity and creativity are encouraged

I am panicked. Why shouldn't he be? We know,don't we? He is loving it. The joke is on us and he loves it.

I would prefer just a concerned look every now and then,but he is not that good at acting. His job is selling.

Some of you are slower at seeing the truth,but even you will see it soon. Hey,but you are loving it also,aren't you?

I apologize to you if I caused distress But I do believe he is a fraud. That was the basis of my comment

Denise, about your post #162
Obama was laughing about all of this because he knows that he helped cause it, and thinks it hilarious that people were stupid enough to elect, and trust, him to "fix" it.

Fix it he will, we can count on that.

Only his "fix" is to finish the job he helped start of totally destroying this nations, and with it the worlds, economy.
What happens in the US economy affects the whole world and he knows it, so if he can destroy our economy he can plunge the world into a global depression, and "fix it" by fulfilling his life long dream of implemementing a ONE WORLD Socialist government.

Liberals like Shallow Hal

Liberals like Shallow Hal have great empathy and sympathy for the 'Masses' (or so they say), but they have NO empathy or NO sympathy for individuals, that they do know.

Barack Obama and his brother, Hal Donahue and someones dead son are prime examples.


Hal Donahue here is a thought

Quit attacking posters families.

You won't have to apologize.

I think an apology from you is worth less than used toilet paper.

Shallow Hal
How dare you! Your comment makes me physically ill. I am off for the night.

Earth to Obama . . .
It would likely behoove us all if you would cease making overtures of appeasement to the radical Muslim world. Has it not dawned on you that such statements are seen by certain despotic individuals as a sign of weakness?

As for another televised prime-time speech, what is it, sir, that you seek to achieve other than your own self-aggrandizement?

Good grief.

Politicians, Public figures and those of us here at Town Hall who post - are fair game.

Leave families out of it.

Are you to 'Jaded' to understand that? I think you are.

Evidently Hal has never lost a child. If he had,he would have more empathy for some who have.

>>HERE we go calling someone who disagrees with you a "fake".

You are misinformed and mistaken. I was not calling anyone fake. I was correcting Frank's languages as he seemed to use Soldier & Marine interchangably.

The plan in the Veterans' administration is not DOA yet, and could be slipped in as easily as the "Dodd amendment" nobody knew about least of all apparently Obama. Also several Veteran group leaders were frustrated with their meeting with Obama as he did not understand the moral reason behind supporting a Veteran who had been hurt during the service of his country. He also did not understand the long term consequences.

Quote From The NY Daily News
Missing in action is the Barack Obama who vowed to unite the country around common values. Lately he has been the very opposite of the man he promised. Instead of hope, many have a growing fear of the arrogant government he leads.

In truth, there is no history for what he is doing. He is the most radical President of our times, far outside the mainstream of our political philosophy.
He is not a reformer who fixes things. He fancies himself "transformative," a man who reshapes and reorders. It apparently begins with smashing the existing order under the pretext of managing the crisis he inherited.

During the campaign, a fellow journalist confided that "I know Obama is a Manchurian candidate, I just can't figure out what for."

I laughed then, but no more. Obama represents a secular religion that believes, no matter the malady, Washington is the antidote. More government is the chicken soup of his tribe.

It is an illusion of many Republicans and Democrats that Washington can successfully manage the economy and our lives. Our institutions and culture are too big, too diverse and too unruly to be run like a banana republic.

Yet the economic mess has robbed the nation of its confidence, and the vacuum is being filled by politicians bearing promises and borrowed dollars. The true cost of this "help" will come later, with back-breaking debt and a lack of growth and opportunity.

We can't say we haven't been warned. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad" is more than folklore. It predicts our fate if we follow the government mob.

Hal's biggest mistake is thinking that I give a rip what he thinks of me or my family.

But that said, I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY attacks on ANY members of my family on these threads(I just ignore Wobbie's since I know he's a certifiable mental case).

DoofASS' "apology" to Denise and/or Summers is about as sincere as a pile of the fecal material that Doofass slithered out from under.

Army Wife 1228:
Don't give the Doofass facts. His miniscule mind will not admit them. His mind is the place where facts and original ideas go to die.

Great insight - good post!

How are you? I hope everything is fine.

Jungle Room phone is still busy!

I went to Graceland two years ago. Saw his grave,but I think I saw HIM duck behind a door in the Jungle Room. Maybe he hasn't left the building !

Marine's Dad:
Have you ever noticed that libs have no trouble in attacking anyone who disagrees with, extending those attacks to family members, but scream hatred, divisiveness, etc, when the favor is returned?

DENISE...STILL BUSY,HUH? ha ha ha.
Okay....durn it!

Plumbers can only clean out the crap - they can't do much about the source.

Still cold up there?

I am beginning to think Barack Obama is a 'Serial Bully' along with his other traits.

I posted my comments on some other websites about Barack Obama and him being a 'Socialized Psychopath' and several posters responded who said they were Psychologists, responded by saying, he had all of the characteristics of a 'Serial Bully'.

Must be something to that - they were very informative.

Re: Glowbama!!!
What do expect from an elitist who is a egg head that really has not done a days hard work in his life??? And now it is ok to make fun of someone who is less fortunate??? Look, everyday this clown and the family guy Gibbs makes total idiots of themselves, this is what you get when you put your gov. in the hands of a thug from Chicago!!!!
