Obama’s Punk Presidency Kicks into High Gear
I’ve caught some heat since election night when I made my first reference to the person whom I expected would turn out to be our first punk president.
As I noted in a related February column, there was plenty of pre-election justification for concern that the most powerful elected office in the world was about to be occupied by, at the very minimum, a “a young, inexperienced person” who lacks major elements of maturity one would expect in someone about to take on such a serious responsibility. Normally, these traits would be acquired in one’s life as a result of running a business, working in the private sector, serving in the military, or occasionally through wide-ranging experience in political office. Barack Obama brought in none of these four attributes.
Evidence abounded during the campaign that trouble was brewing. There was the “subtle” bird-flipping of opponents — twice. There were allusions to inflicting violence on rivals. There was gaffe after gaffe after gaffe, dutifully minimized by the lapdog media establishment. There were false narratives, ranging from self-aggrandizement to whitewashing family history to (despite a big set of ears and his thin-skinned sensitivity about them) completely implausible denials about having heard objectively racist, America-hating rhetoric from a pastor of almost 20 years. The tissue-thin resume, in combination with even a small sample of the items just described, should have been enough to disturb any objective observer concerned that we were about to elect the lightest of lightweights. And we did.
Obama’s ignorance and inexperience have been quite evident since Inauguration Day — in fact, even on Inauguration Day. The gaffes have continued, from his “joke” about the Special Olympics to his (and his wife’s) Gerald Ford imitations to his “where have you been?” misstatements relating to basic culture and history. His advisers must cringe at the thought of any future teleprompter accidents.
Not that his advisers are particularly bright either; or maybe they’re fiendishly clever. Consider the garble they inserted into the beginning of the president’s primarily H1N1-related speech on Tuesday:
Before I say a few words about the meeting we just had I’d like to mention some good news that came out today about our economy. For the first time in 18 months, our manufacturing sector has expanded, and the statistics used to measure manufacturing output is the highest it’s been in over two years.
The statistic involved is the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index. ISM’s statistic did increase to a two-year high of 52.9% in August, and it was the first time in 19 months that the reading topped 50%, the minimum indicator of expansion. It was also the index’s highest reading since June 2007.
Always a question, isn’t it? Is he really this stupid? Or is he evil?
Someone posted this quote on another thread today, from Anatole France:
“Stupidity is far more dangerous than evil, for evil takes a break from time to time, stupidity does not.”
I’m guess he’s both, with varying amounts of each characteristic at various times. Incredibly dangerous.
Gawd….look, Obama’s already a much better President than not only the Bush’s, but even your beloved Ronald “Iran-Contra, Kill the Nuns and Damn the Regulators” Reagan. Not only was Obama stuck with a major fixer-upper after 8 years of Bush II screw-ups, he also had to deal with the insane situation where his predecessor attacked the correct country initially for, well, supporting and safekeeping the guy responsible for all that 9/11 damage and death, but who then got sidetracked with a bizarre BS invasion of another country who had nothing to do with 9/11, allowing the initial successes of the first invasion to fade.
And instead of putting philosophical differences aside to help get the country back on track — as responsible, mature, and *patriotic* grown-ups would — the Republicans and the right in general instead opted to go into spiteful, old biddy mode: making one childish or deranged accusation and complaint after another, and doing whatever they can to block or delay anything constructive getting done. And with the good of the country a far and distant concern behind getting the pieces in place for the 2010 and 2012 elections.
You guys may weaselly try to justify behaving this way because you have no faith in Obama, but so far the vast bulk of claimed suppose “evidence” for Obama being a bad President has only been enough BS to refertilize Southeast Africa. The links in this article, for instance, feature mostly bits of direct rubbish from places like Newsbusters (“All the right wing spin that’s fit to blog”), stuff out of context, eye-rollingly dopey/malicious interpretations, minor slips blown Godzilla-like out of context, and in general pretty much just all petty, stupid whining and name calling. In other words, whether you would ever admit to it or not, you’re very much the bad guys in all of this.
How hilarious BC thinks the failing Mohammedan BOGUS POTUS Barrack, you can call me HUSSEIN now I won, Obama is wonderful . Never mind that he has READY quadrupled the Bush debt and that his policies will mean that your children and your childrens children will be saddled with this debt. Never mind that he is a blatant barefaced proven LIAR and whats more the man with no paper trail at all its all HIDDEN. They he is an intellectual giant but when you ask to see his school and college grades they are all HIDDEN, they say he was born in Hawaii but when you ask him to prove it he cant because his BC is HIDDEN, he says ‘I have always been a Christian’ then proves HIMSELF a LIAR in his OWN book. So its no surprise when idiotic fools and PC MC moonbat ‘libtards’ like BC think he is wonderful they would not be ‘libtards’ if they were not so gullible. Watch the clock click up your stupidity moonbats.

BC: There are none so blind as those that will not see.
BC says “blah blah, I love commies, blah blah, and thugs, blah blah, repubs are evil, blah, blah, everything Obama did wrong is a lie , blah, blah, horse blinders and earplugs work great, blah, blah, anyone who can’t love a Daly Machine Chicago politician is just stupid, blah, blah, but I, I am a progressive genius, blah, blah, Rev. Wright is a great American, blah, blah, those radical commie czars are capitalists now blah de blah de blah”.
“Is he really this stupid?”
Barack Obama is a poorly read and shallow man. This was obvious to me from the very beginning of the political campaign season. A soft science Harvard University is normally not worthy of respect. The Ivy League schools are often nothing more than academic whorehouses. Obama represents the lowering of standards resulting from the affirmative action policies enacted since the mid 1960s. On top of that, he is easily bored—and wants to find any excuse to avoid performing the normal duties associated with the presidency. Obama is also likely to continue behaving weirdly. His bizarre talk to the nation’s public schoolchildren next Tuesday will not be the exception. There will be growing concern about Obama’s accessibility to the Red Phone.
Obama possesses a sufficiently high IQ. That’s not the problem. He is simply intellectually lazy. And it’s too late for him to get his act together while serving as president of the United States. He’s just too busy. Oh well, elections have consequences. Too many American voters were nonchalant—and now the country will suffer enormously.
The bad guys are about 53% of voters.
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove.

BC:
I love when someone refers to nobama inheriting all these problems. Where has he and his party been ? Remember they promised all that hope and change.
As far as the rest of the yack it’s reminds me of you and your’s for those oh so terrible 8 yrs.
Question – Why is it that Republicans have to have it folded double and rammed up their you-know-what until it almost kills them; before they decide it is time to get off of their rear ends and do something constructive..?
Answer – Obama is a direct barometer of exactly who and what the people of the United States of America are today.
A callow youth with little real world experience somehow climbs to the pinnacle of power. In addition to being poorly educated, the man is ideologically blinkered. Add to the above a thuggish temperament, and the end game is not difficult to imagine.
When the wheels come off, as they surely must, the man will begin to lash out at perceived enemies for his failures. Even advisers close to him won’t be immune from his tantrums. As the few adults in his administration begin to abandon ship, a cadre of hardcore ideologues will surround an increasingly insular and marginalized president. The nation will reach a crisis point probably sooner than anyone expects.
It’s going to get ugly before the situation resolves itself. I expect massive civil disorder and economic chaos. If the president will not step down by his own volition (rather likely given his narcissism), the time will come when he must be forced out. Eventually even members of his own party and elements within the media will be forced to admit the true nature of the man. By then much damage will have been done; the nation will pay a heavy price for his folly.
The media would never lie to us or kiss Obama.
There you have it-
1.3 million workers are losing unemployment benefits,
and the economy is doing great.
Kudos for your willingness to say directly what many others fear to — what with Big Bro “keeping score,” and all.
(See: http://emmeffemm.com/id158.html )
Kudos, too, to Michael Barone, who warned of the coming “thugocracy” early on. Barone is not one given to hyperbole; so if he’s concerned, we all should be.
Obama’s combination of inexperience, radical minset, and oppressive approach are a dangerous mix. Perhaps we will all look back on his totalitarian efforts as laughably inept one day.
But we would be wise to be vigilant. Many tyrants started out as bad jokes.
President Obama’s instincts towards socialism are repeatedly demonstrated in his policies. His nationalization of two automobile companies, and endorsement of his parties healthcare legislation tell you that he is high on Fabian socialist “solutions”.
Van Jones, Mark Lloyd and John Holdren are the face of Obama’s beliefs and ploicies. They are his Czars and they believe, from their own words, in things that are incompatable with freedom, liberty and our Republic. Holdren believes in forced abortion and sterelization. Lloyd is a follower of Hugo Chavez, a professed Marxist, and a racist. Van Jones, like Lloyd, is a racist.
President Obama has no issue with having these people in his administration. These are his associates, the people he admires and believes are worthy of being in control of government. Tells you alot about his core beliefs, judgement,and character doesn’t it?
When the Trollkins come to defend him it will tell you everything you need to know about their core beliefs, judgement and character.
@2. BC: – Obama’s already a much better President …
Can you even read?
… than not only the Bush’s, but even your beloved …
Deflection is one of your favorite responses. Everyone’s noticed that.
- Not only was Obama stuck with a major fixer-upper …
Thanks to the Democrat Congress destroying what was a growing economy. Yeah, he was ‘stuck’ alright.
- … got sidetracked with a bizarre BS invasion…
This insipid talking point is old, boring and not indicative of much in the way of critical thinking skills, much less even a passing awareness of recent U.S. History.
- And instead of putting philosophical differences aside …
Translation: instead of just shutting up and let the country be run into the ground with a repeat of the failed, mostly unconstitutional and largely repealed “New Deal”…
- …making one childish or deranged accusation and complaint after another, …
Try reviewing every DAY of media coverage starting with November 4, 2000, bub, if you want to see one childish or deranged accusation and complaint after another. You can start with the day Al Gore failed to carry his own home State in the 2000 election and work your forward to present day from there.
… stuff out of context, …
LOL!!! Another one of your favorite dismissals. You just don’t get it, do you. Look, just because YOU don’t happen to care for a particular source doesn’t justify dismissing the information they provide.
If YOU have any facts to the contrary, present them. Othewise, I think it’s time you STFU with these Poison the Well fallacies you spew in almost every post. Each time you can’t refute a fact, you attack the source or outlet publishing that fact. Get a grip. If you’re going to pretend to support a position, at least learn how to argue. Your “out of context” B.S. and all the rest isn’t swaying anyone and your pathetic reliance on that moronic tactic just make you look desperate and ignorant.
…you’re very much the bad guys in all of this.
I LOVE the smell of projection in the morning. Smells like… well… you know.
“In other words, whether you would ever admit to it or not, you’re very much the bad guys in all of this.”
ROTFLMAO, I can’t wait until you’re running with the pack of liberals trying to deny you ever supported this idiot. It’s going to be very interesting, and in fact, far more interesting than when democrats stampeded over one another to get away from Carter. This time, though, so many of you folks have enlised in his “makin foos ov areseves” campaign that it won’t be as easy as just removing your campaign bumper sticker in the middle of the night.
Enjoy your few remaining weeks of holier than thou fantasy because this guy is falling apart so fast that I could have been giving him too much credit when I said he’d never make it to Thanksgiving before he’s neck deep in his own crap.
have a nice day
Thank you BC, for explaining this situation in an honest and intellectual manner. It’s interesting that these so called “bloggers” on this site, which would be a very generous way to describe them, don’t realize that they are not convincing ANYBODY that doesn’t already agree with them. And the people that do agree with them are a MINORITY, though they don’t want to realize that. So keep blowing your hot air and piling on the BS cause all you’re doing is suffocating yourself in it. That means you Tom Blumer. Did you even go to college?
BC (and other trolls)who previously suffered from BDS, now suffer from advanced OAS (Obama Arrangement Syndrome). Notice how they “interpret or deny” the above mentioned events “in a manner that reinforces their preconceived and rigid notions about Obama” (i.e. their faith in the obamesiah) whom they claim through glazed over eyes and cotton stuffed ears to be a much better president than….Bwahahahaha. I just couldn’t go on. I want to give credit to the man who discovered this disease but I can’t find the poster that introduced it. Good call. It is so obvious that I wonder how we could have misdiagnosed it before.
Meryl,
Since day one, I’ve been convinced we’re dealing with a mad man. Lunitic left. Scorched earth policy when you win a fight. People who stop pushing only when they feel the steely resolve of a bayonet prick in theirs stomachs.
Complete Leninist mode of operation.
The is the real thing. You run into Obama evil about once every 200 years.
They hate their enemies and reward their friends. They spread the wealth to their friends and starve their enemies.
I can’t paint the picture any clearer. It’s black and white. Good and bad. I won. You lost. We get the money and power. You get the short end of the stick.
There is no negotiation with evil. Like cancer, if you don’t cut it out, the patient dies. The country is reeling. But the cutting has begun.
Whether it’s swine flu or the virus known as Obama, don’t expose school kids to it. They both can be lethal.
B.C., you’re on the wrong website. Try Daily Koz of Huffington Post or some other lefty site.
#2 BC
Do your initials stand for BEYOND CREDIBILITY ? How much is MoveOn.org paying you for this drivel ?
Just a couple of small observations: 1. Why has your Ursurper-in-Chief spent 2.3 million to date with a major
Washington law firm to keep his birth and school records secret ? 2. Why has he appointed “Czars” to major advisory positions who are answerable to no one other himself – the Congress has been totally bypassed. Where are the checks & balances.
Sorry pal, your boysmells more like the fertilizer you put on rose bushes rather than a rose….

S.M.
The Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.
Great piece of writing…and sadly, too true.
As for the “BC” viewpoints, Adolph Hitler was swept into office and kept there by an adoring, deceived populace weary of the status quo.
Only problem is, who and what nation is left to do (what the U.S. did for Europe) at the end of all the destruction? l
After eight years of Bush/Cheney, it would be nice if we could get a break from incompetent criminal cronyism, homosexual extortion, child predation, corporate kickbacks, war crimes, abusive litigation, theft of public moneys, and unseemly coziness with dictators, torturers and terrorists.
If the Obama administration is merely awash in corrupt cronies, I see this as a significant improvement over Conservative rule.
BC, have some more Kool Aid?? Thanks!!
B.C.
Despite your gushing support of Obama, you did not manage to rebute even one of the points made it the article. I think your comment “you (Pajamas Media) have no faith in Obama” says it all. Faith is blind; many of us are not.
Hey BC. You have your own blind faith to deal with. So Bush fought an arguably unnecessary war and was an inarticulate guy. One could easily make the case that during his administration Democrats in congress did far more damage to the country and the economy than he did.
The increasingly unchecked power of the political ruling class is what threatens this country and the Obama version of the Democratic party is a particularly virulent version of this. We want and deserve freedom from excessive taxation, spending, legislation, regulation and political privilege – no matter who won the election. And please stop with the “getting this country back on track” argument. It is really about political power and control and more and more people are on to that gambit and scared to death of the consequences. Here is a non-political analysis of debt creation and spending of administrations since the early 1900s. It’s not “grown-up or mature” to believe that this is “responsible” and will have no consequences: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5fL469k9qc.
WOW!!!! Brilliant! Delightful to read!! A real thirst quencher!
5. UsaBruce:
BC said THAT much to you? All I could read was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah; And it wasn’t a typo!
Check out THE Obama on Drudge;
http://www.drudgereport.com/
BC With all you knowledge please explain how you can spend your way out of debt? Is it more taxes, taking from Medicare all of which still leave holes in the argument we can spend our way out of debt. Or is it the fact you will be long gone and it will not be your problem.
Obama’s giving the “finger” to the People again;
http://www.drudgereport.com/
What you have is a “charming” combination of the worst of Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.
zerosum breathlessly asked the writer, “Did you even go to college?” Obviously zerosum did and was the star of the class in poly-sci 101 at the local community college able to regurgitate every Marxist talking point of Bozo the Professor. Run along little libtard.
…POR economy’s architects and their party don’t have the slightest appreciation for what manufacturing concerns need in order to have a decent chance at long-term success.
Maybe they don’t care. Maybe destruction of “the economy” is the point. Or, at the very least, absorption of all economic activity into The Borg, the federal government.
Obama’s Green Jobs Czar (cough) Van Jones, post conversion to communism, sounds like a combination of the J Wright/Black Liberation Theology “blame whitey” philosophy and the Billy Ayers’ “hate capitalism” philosophy.
911 Truther Jones, in a recent video talking about white people polluting black communities, is reminiscent of JWright ranting about white people intentionally inflicting AIDS onto the black population.
Despite Jones’ disclaimers that “all that” was before he joined the Obama administration and became obsessed only with Green Job creation, I’m seeing a pattern here.
Controversial Obama Administration Official…
An excellent article and analysis; this is indeed a gangster government. The agenda is to insert, without permission or debate, a socialist infrastrcture that removes power from the people.
What is important to note, I think, is that there are several ‘parts’ to this onslaught, and I think that this fracture is its weakness.
I may be very wrong but I see Obama as operationally but not ideolgically, part of this socialist agenda. I consider him a non-intellectual, disinterested in facts, ideas, analysis..and therefore, intellectually ignorant and shallow.
He is a pathological narcissist by which I mean that he moved himself into a cocoon of control many years ago. He exists within a realm where he must feel that he controls all interactions with him. And these interations must be adulatory and adoring. If he feels that he cannot control you, he will either react with rage – and demean and intimidate you..or..you simply, literally, cease to exist for him.
He long ago ‘perfected’ his strategy of controlling people – which he does, astonishingly, by acting as the charming hapless teenager. So, he’ll grin, and flash his smile and wink, and make teen-age jokes…and ramble on and on and on in specious empty platitudes..and expect you to adore him. This may have worked with his grandmother but does it work with others?
Obama’s role in this agenda is to be the Salesman. He’s to get the agenda through without debate and vote, by his charm, his speeches, his accusations of racism if you disagree with him..
Then, there are the idealogues, which I refer to as the BackRoom Gang (BRG). These are both elected and unelected. Hardcore radical socialists with a deep disdain for America, for individual freedoms, affinity with communism and so on. Soros..and all Obama’s ‘Czars’. Pelosi, Reid, Emmanual and so on.
These are the idealogues; they develop the policies and programs which Obama himself never bothers with or cares about.
The problem with this binary framework is two-fold. One, is that the Salesman is unreliable and makes many gaffes when he’s on his own and away from the telepromter. Plus, since Obama is ignorant of policies and indifferent to them, he can’t deal with questions and analysis. And then, there’s his narcissism, which requires constant, daily feeding of acolades, worship, programmed adoring sycophants. It takes a lot of time and energy to keep this increasing need ‘fed and quiet’…and sheltered from criticism..which Obama can’t handle.
Then, there’s the people, who are becoming aware of the socialist agenda and don’t like it. The BRG have tried to deal with this by smearing and denigrating the people (unAmerican, mobs etc)..but this isn’t working.
And finally, the third section is the regular Democrat, both within and without Congress. The Congressman is afraid that he’ll lose the next election and the ordinary Democrat may be liberal but he’s certainly not a socialist-communist and is feeling both betrayed and unnerved by this BRG.
When you have three different agendas in power at the same time, this makes for an incoherent and chaotic administration..and one that could either topple into irrelevance…or…rigidity and an unconstitutional grab for power.
Speaking of a punk presidency …
… anybody else think flying the communist Chinese flag over the White House is Obama’s way of giving the middle finger to the country?
You sure condensed it, Man, exposing the thuggery reigning in the delusion of his not-so-royal imagination. Surely, one day we’ll awake out of this twilight zone nightmare, eh? Perhaps in 2010 or sooner, I hope. Just today they threw another bone, disclosing visitors to the WH, starting mid September…a bone picked clean I’d say.
Thanks, you gelled it in my terror stricken, obama trauma psyche.:)
This (charm offensive) may have worked with his grandmother but does it work with others?
Naw, I think grandma was onto him.
She was pretty far gone, however, (mentally & physically) when he threw her under the bus as a “typical white person”, so she likely didn’t realize the level of the insult.
Good points you make.
In foreign affairs Obama seems to be the dictators’ friend. He continues to put pressure on Honduras for legally replacing an illegal administration. At the same time he ignores Iran’s phony election.
From the blog Legal Insurrection:
“The U.S. also is threatening not to recognize the government elected at the upcoming November election:
The U.S. government on Thursday toughened its stance against Honduras’s coup leaders and supporters, threatening to put them “in a box” by not recognizing the winner of a presidential election set for November.
This is the same U.S. administration which refused to refuse to recognize Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s stolen election, and did nothing at all to put economic pressure on the Iranian regime. The same administration which says not a thing about Hugo Chavez’s systematic dismantling of free press and opposition political parties. The same President who sits silently for an hour as Daniel Ortega lashes out at the United States.
How easy for the Obama administration to pick on someone not its size.”
The Chinese flag over the White House will be a tremendous propagand coup for China. Apparently, foreign flags are flown during dignitary visits (but not higher than the US flag), but this event is not for any visit by to celebrate the founding of the Chinese Republic. Why is this celebration to be on WH grounds?
Does the WH fly the Canadian flag on Canada Day? Does it fly the flag of any other country on their ‘special day’?
Along with this question, I’m going to make another prediction – with regard to Van Jones. Many are calling for this openly communist radical affiliate of Obama to be fired for his remarks on 9/11, and his remarks that ‘whites are poisoning immigrants’ and so on. I’m going to bet that Obama will refuse to fire him..just as he hung on to the ‘Rev. Wright’..Obama will not permit anyone to criticize him and his filiates.
Even now, the denials are coming in, with Jones declaring that he ‘didn’t know what he was signing’ (the 9/11 truther document). Heh. Do we want someone in our administration who will, several years after, inform us that he signed a document without awareness?
What would you say if I gave you 11 reasons why the elections in 2010 will be the most important in the history of the United States ?
1. What if I had told you in October 2008, before the last presidential election, that before Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office, the federal government would be in control of both the mortgage and the banking industries? That 19 of America ‘s largest banks would be forced to undergo stress tests by the federal government which would determine if they were insufficiently capitalized, so they must be supervised by the government?
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America ”
2. What if I had told you that within Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office the federal government would be the largest shareholder in the US Big-Three automakers: GM, and Chrysler? That the government would kick out the CEO’s of these companies and appoint hand-picked executives with zero experience in the auto industry and that executive compensation would be determined, not by a Board of Directors, but by the government?
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !”
3. What if I had told you that Barack Obama would appoint 32 Czars, without congressional approval, accountable only to him, not to the voters, who would have control over a wide range of US policy decisions. That there would be a Stimulus Accountability Czar, an Urban Czar, a Compensation Czar, an Iran Czar, an Auto Industry Czar, a Cyber Security Czar, an Energy Czar, a Bank Bailout Czar, and more than a dozen other government bureaucrats with unchecked regulatory powers over US domestic and foreign policy.
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !”
4. What if I had told you that the federal deficit would be $915 billion in the first six months of the Obama presidency – with a projected annual deficit of $1.75 trillion – triple the $454.8 billion in 2008, for which the previous administration was highly criticized by Obama and his fellow Democrats. That congress would pass Obama’s $3.53 trillion federal budget for fiscal 2010…. That the projected deficit over the next ten years would be greater than $10 trillion.
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !”
5. What if I had told you that the Obama Justice Department would order FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high-value detainees captured on the battlefield and held at US military detention facilities in Afghanistan . That Obama would order the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility with no plan for the disposition of the 200-plus individuals held there. That several of the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo would be sent to live in freedom in Bermuda at the expense of the US government. That our returning US veterans would be labeled terrorists and put on a watch list.
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !”
6. What if I had told you that the federal government would seek powers to seize key companies whose failures could jeopardize the financial system. That a new regulatory agency would be proposed by Obama to control loans, credit cards, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial products offered to the public.
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !!”
7. What if I had told you that Obama would travel to the Middle East, bow before the Saudi king, and repeatedly apologize for America ‘s past actions. That he would travel to Latin America where he would warmly greet Venezuela ‘s strongman Hugo Chavez and sit passively in the audience while Nicaraguan Marxist thug Daniel Ortega charged America with terrorist aggression in Central America .
Would you have said,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !!”
8. Okay, now what if I were to tell you that Obama wants to dismantle conservative talk radio through the imposition of a new “Fairness Doctrine.” That he wants to curtail the First Amendment rights of those who may disagree with his policies via internet blogs, cable news networks, or advocacy ads. That most major network television and most newspapers will only sing his phrases like state-run media in communist countries?
Would you say,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !!!”
9. What if I were to tell you that the Obama Justice Department is doing everything it can to limit your Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. That the federal government wants to reinstate the so-called assault weapons ban which would prohibit the sale of any type of firearm that doesn’t require the shooter to pull the trigger every time a round is fired. That Obama’s Attorney General wants to eliminate the sale of virtually all handguns and ammunition, which most citizens choose for self-defense.
Would you say,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !!!”
10. What if I were to tell you that the Obama plan is to eliminate states rights guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and give the federal government sweeping new powers over policies currently under the province of local and state governments and voted on by the people. That Obama plans to control the schools, energy production, the environment, health care, and the wealth of every US citizen.
Would you say,
“C’mon, that will never happen in America !”
11. What if I were to tell you that the president, the courts, and the federal government have ignored the US Constitution and have seized powers which the founders of our country fought to restrict. That our last presidential election may have been our last truly free election for some time to come.
I know, I know what you will say.
“That will never happen in America !”
Aureliano,
Obama gave a dinner a couple of nights ago for the end of Ramadan, WTF is that ?
And the flag ? well, Timmy Geithner has been yakking with the Chinese, even traveled to Beijing, trying to reassure the Chinese of the soundness (cough) of the dollar and begging them to not call in the chits…
Maybe the Chinese asked for the flag as a show of respect…
The Chicoms are like that…
BC: Bush was a terrible president. The bar had been set REALLY low for Obama. He has tripped over it consistently. He has somehow managed to be worse than Bush.
President Obama had signs OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT from November until January when he spoke; the MSM hung onto his every word as if Obama was some kind of soothsayer of wisdom. The same MSM glossed over his contradictions in the same speeches & continue to this day, although the spell is wearing off as some in MSM are clamoring for more access to the One. Obama’s arrogance & ignorance is a bad combination since he believes his words have some kind of magic spell. Why do y’all think he’s been in campaign mode? Well, this is for 2 reasons:
* President Obama only knows to campaign since he lacks Executive experience.
* He believes the more his covered, the more people will be convinced by his charisma.
This is fallacy. The spell is broken thanks in large part to the spectacular failure of Porkulus with unemployment will reach more than 10% at some point. The man-child is basically an Affirmative Action spoiled brat with thuggish tactics; he tries to thread the needle with the blunt force of a hammer. The collapse of the Health Care “debate” shows Obama is leading by the caboose or, in other words, not leading at all.
Will his vaunted Health Care bill become law? He promised it would be law before the August recess. Now, he’s promising it will be law before the end of the Fall. But will it? I’m not sure. The legislature has to do the basic bills to keep government running. President Obama’s joint session to Congress shows how weak he is. Why? THe Health Care bill should have been crafted over several months or years–not weeks & not without Republicans. Obama is overexposed now. The final gasp of desperation is the joint session of Congress. I will not watch Obama & he is bathed in his malignant egomania narcissism with a complicit MSM to be his megaphone.
The fact remains I do not trust the wannabe American dictator. I believe most Americans do not trust the Obama Administration either given the emotional beating the legislatures took in August.
America has been punk’t by a ghetto organizing Chicago thug who is ['shock'] a duplicitous, lazy skank.
It is going to take a HUGE effort by all of us to get Obama and the czars out of Washington. They have lots of money coming from Soros and who knows what other country that wants to see the U.S. go down. They have already shown that they will use whatever lies or force that they need to in order to get their way. And they have complete control over the MSM media, especially CNN and MSNBC.
Despite Obama’s declining poll numbers, this battle is far from over. These people are not going to give up easily, so it is going to take a MASSIVE and LONG effort to get them out.
We might as well get ourselves prepared for this now. If we do, then we’ll have an even greater chance of saving this country.

PS And no comment is needed…
The Chinese are celebrating X # of years since the founding of glorious communism.
That would be the Mao thing, the guy who summarily slaughtered millions of human beings.
The Chinese are still, of course, wanting to absorb Taiwan back into the Motherland, and it’s probably time for that, since the Bush administration said it would not allow that to happen.
I thought it was terrible (some years back) when (pre Bush administration) the US essentially withdrew its support for Formosa/Taiwan and recognized the People’s Republic.
In real time, the China will surely use its economic stranglehold over the US to its political advantage, and the Obama administration is, apparently, OK with helping China celebrate the slaughter of millions in the name of (ascendent) Communism.
Next stop, Obama administration endorses brutal Chinese repression in Tibet and the ongoing near erasure of Tibetian culture & religion at the hand of China.

I think that your analysis is correct.
The main problem is that honest democrats and crazy liberals have been deceived by a well organized group of subversives and now they don’t want to admit their mistake.
The forces behind this operation are COLOSSAL, now we need to REALLY be ONE NATION, UNDER GOD.

44. Delia: “America has been punk’t by a ghetto organizing Chicago thug who is ['shock'] a duplicitous, lazy skank.”
Tourette syndrome (also called Tourette’s syndrome, Tourette’s disorder, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, GTS or, more commonly, simply Tourette’s or TS) is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood, characterized by the presence of multiple physical (motor) tics and at least one vocal (phonic) tic; these tics characteristically wax and wane. Tourette’s is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes transient and chronic tics.
Tourette’s was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, most often associated with the exclamation of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks (coprolalia). However, this symptom is present in only a small minority of people with Tourette’s.
Tourette’s is no longer considered a rare condition, but it may not always be correctly identified because most cases are classified as mild. Between 1 and 10 children per 1,000 have Tourette’s; as many as 10 per 1,000 people may have tic disorders, with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements. People with Tourette’s have normal life expectancy and intelligence. The severity of the tics decreases for most children as they pass through adolescence, and extreme Tourette’s in adulthood is a rarity. Notable individuals with Tourette’s are found in all walks of life.
Genetic and environmental factors each play a role in the etiology of Tourette’s, but the exact causes are unknown. In most cases, medication is unnecessary. There is no effective medication for every case of tics, but there are medications and therapies that can help when their use is warranted. Explanation and reassurance alone are often sufficient treatment; education is an important part of any treatment plan.
As Mike Murray pointed out in post #12, Michael Barone accurately labeled it a ‘thugocracy’ several weeks ago. But the term ‘punk’ also seems very fitting as there is a great deal of overlap and commonality bewteen thugs and punks.
For sure, Van Baby, you (and Billy Ayers) would be OK with that, as long as the slaughter-ees were the wrong kind of people.
What was it Ayers said ? In the name of the anti-bourgeoisie, anti-capitalist revolution, something about eliminating 25 million wrong-thinking Americans ?
Van Jones, admitted communist to boot. Way to vet ‘another star in the making’, Obama.
43 czars in this administration. That’s more czars than the Romanov’s ever claimed!
Nothing to see here sheeple.. move along.
Blah, blah, blah yourselves all you want.
The truth — you know, that curious stuff that’s based on, well, reality, evidence, logic, and such — is that Bush II was a complete f*ck-up from the time he was sworn in to the time he left. From not taking intel warnings about al-Qaeda seriously, to freezing up on 9/11, for letting the SEC slack off its investigative and monitoring duties, for putting incompetent morons like Michael Brown into important positions, for his Alfred E. Neuman response to Katrina, for all that lying BS about Iraq, for never stepping up to “clarify” his service records while letting his drones smear Kerry, for the half-ass effort in getting bin Laden and dealing with the Taliban, for offloading important military operations to private contractors like Blackwater (which might make for a nice plot development for “24″ but not in real life), for letting torture become a symbol for American hypocracy, and so on. And too dump too much on Bush (although it’s hard not to) it’s turning out that much of the roots of the current financial crisis go back to Reagan, as well as the CIA’s involvement with torture.
And if you people had an ounce of integrity and genuine concern for this country, you would have been totally on board to help your new and duly elected president — no Supreme Court interference this time — put things back in order, including this country’s prestige on the world stage. But no, it’s been the same old, same old mockery and smears, except even further escalated to take advantage of the corporate media’s increasing lack of backbone to call out fools and liars (When Michelle Malkin appeared on NBC, the only appropriate question that Matt Lauer should have asked Malkin would have been something along the lines of, “Which clueless NBC staffer booked a spiteful, lying-ass, deranged right-winger like you on this show?”)
Like I said, you *are* the bad guys in all this.
@50. Dale
RE: ‘Tourette Syndrome’
That would finally explain ‘MoHo’.
Not quite sure what this Tom Blumer was trying to say. However, its always nice to hear from the “jerry springer” wing of the party now and again. We have two wars going and so many really serious issues to discuss…and this new president is surely getting some things wrong, so why not talk about issues that are relevant, instead of sounding out a teenage rant that can only be popular at a skating rink in near cincinatti. Some good advice for ya Tom, you could have save alot of wasted wordage and just called Obama a name in one or two sentences.
Etab at 39,
Did you see that HOT AIR has published a story this am that Van Jones was mixed up in the 9/11 truther movement in January 2002? He is obviously lying that he doesn’t agree with the goals of the 9/11 truther movement, he was in on it from the get go.
Van Jones, Mark Lloyd, John Holdren, Rev Wright William Ayers, etc etc. These are the Presidents friends. These are the people he choses to hang out with and admire. His associations say so much about his lack of character and his lack of judgement.
Looking forward to laughing at the Trollkins defense of this pattern of association and behavior. Your President and the Congress are in free fall with public oppinion. You did it to your selves completely. The Republicans are so pitifully weak that they aren’t even relevant. You were dealt a full house aces over kings, and tossed the kings looking for the 4th ace. Classic!
@56. Poor Citizen
You trying out for a czar position there ‘poor’? Czar for the downtrodden. That has a nice ring to it!
How poor are you btw? Got cable? Got internet? Got a computer? Got milk? You remind me of those idiot ‘po folk’ who stampeded a man to death at Wally world on Black Friday 2008.
BC – You ‘accidentally’ skipped over Carter’s ‘CRA’ and Clinton’s ‘GLBA’
Only a Republican Congress has run a budget surplus. Though folks like yourself credit Clinton.
Republican Congress from 1995 – 2006 – total budget deficit of $1.6 trillion.
Democratic Congress from 2007 – 2009 – budget deficit of ~3.2 trillion and climbing. Great job Dems!
‘Smear Kerry’? BC, Kerry does pretty well smearing himself. His, ‘Because he’s a black man’ comment regarding Obama being more qualified to deal with Middle East Peace discussions. What a maroon.
Kerry is a disgrace to the uniform and is lucky he wasn’t fragged or been the recipient of a blanket party his few months in Vietnam.
Not to mention he had lower grades than ‘dumbbell’ Bush.
BTW, how’s that ‘Universal Health Care’ panning out in Mass?
I agree with the article – I’ve written about same subject on my blog back in January…
http://hyphenatedamericans.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Poor.. did you use Obama and ‘Cincinnatus’ in the same sentence? Kidding.. kidding!
Though I don’t see Obama defeating the enemy(ies) and returning to ‘his farm’ Chicago. I hope he proves me and many others wrong.
…We have two wars going and so many really serious issues to discuss…
Barack’s letting his generals run Afghanistan, probably one of his wiser decision.
But when McChrystal asks for more troops, Barack absolutely sets a limit of 28,000, political correctness trumping efficacy in war or any other matter, you know.
The POTUS seems much more interested in dreaming up ways to brainwash the next generation, since the adults are catching onto him.
(there, we’ve “discussed the war”)
Dale, Poor Citizen & BC are quintessential examples of the Left’s Useful Idiots
(over and out)
Increasingly, day by day, the President reveals himself as wholly inadequate for the office to which he has been elected. On domestic isues he appears as a mouthpiece for Rahm Emanuel, mouthing what he, the Pesident, utterly does not understand, nor does he care about. His agenda, if he has one, is simply to appeal to base interests of the electorate where he thinks he will gain votes. As to foreign affairs, his naivete is more than disturbing. He thinks he can sit down with the likes of Ahmadinejad (who is a figurehead and utterly under the control of the Ayatollah Khameni) and negotiate a lasting agreement. What Ahmadinejad and Khameni will do is pick his pockets, empty them, pat him on the back, smile with him for photographers, and the President will boast about his prowess when in fact he has been “taken to the cleaners”.
Barak Milhaus Obama? “I am not a rook(y)!”.
Somewhere, Bill Clinton is smiling.

21. Kazooskibum:
“The Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.”
Too True. Everything they support has a political or finacal kickback. The Auto makers were stolen from there owners to keep union dues flowing into democatic coffers. The reinstiution of the welfare state recreates the welfare voting block and the government employee unions get to expand.
The democratic party today is a coalition of paracites.
Bill Clinton’s libary was built buy the gulf arabs. Payback for vetoing expanded oil production in Alaska. Obama’s house was subsidsed by Rezko for very simular activity.
She was pretty far gone, however, (mentally & physically) when he threw her under the bus as a “typical white person”, so she likely didn’t realize the level of the insult.
So now you know what his grandmother thought about him too? The funny thing is that you not only expect to be taken seriously here, YOU ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY HERE! Hilarious.

#63- Yes, I agree with your conclusion – Obama has no capacity to be a leader, much less a President. As Krauthammer said, he’s ‘never so much as run a candy shop’. His previous experience at ignoring his role as editor of the Harvard Law Review, of merely pressing ‘present’ in his brief stint in the Senate, of patronizingly pontificating to the ‘underlings’ during is time as ‘community organizer’ all reveal his shallowness and ignorance.
It isn’t even his lack of experience that is so troubling, it’s also his complete lack of interest in learning anything. And, as others have pointed out, he is also showing himself up as extremely lazy. He has no desire to spend the time reading, learning, understanding the economy, the markets, etc. He is, at present, woefully ignorant of history, of economics, of fiscal theory, of political theory. His focus is only on his teen-age ‘ability’ to emotionally manipulate, charm and wheel and deal. Obama begins and ends, as a 14 year old punk.
That such juvenile tactics are useless in an executive role not only doesn’t occur to him – but he has no interest in or even ability, to ‘grow up’ and move into such a role.
The hidden danger is that BRG, made up of hardline radical socialists. Unvetted by Congress, answerable to no-one, moved in by the signature of Obama, all part of the hardline radical activists, all anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom. This is the Gang of Thugs – and they are quite willing to manipulate, lie, steal, etc..as we’ve seen, not only in Jones, but in the others in Obama’s team..tax-evaders, corrupt dealers..etc.
Obama’s foreign policy behaviour has been shocking. From deliberate insults to our Western allies to craven bow to the Saudi King, acceptance of Chavez and his cronies, his constant apologies for American behaviour Before Obama the Messiah, and a rejection of the constitutional actions of Honduras..and support for Zelaya who violated this constitution..to support for corrupt elections in Iran and a rejection of the Iranian people…it’s astonishing in an American president. He’s behaving, in every way both in act and word, just like a communist leader.
Domestically – his denigration of Congress is equally outrageous. He rejects the right and duty of Congress to READ and debate bills, insisting instead that they pass them without either action, based only on their ‘TRUST’ in Obama. If you want to read/debate the issue, Obama claims that this shows your lack of trust in him.
His actions of inserting a socialist infrastructure by this No-Read, No-Debate method, have used emotional manipulation (his constant refrain of ‘we are in a crisis) and partisan bias (Bash Bush). His ‘stimulus’ ws nothing but pork. His takeover ofthe auto companies and banks – which didn’t want such intrusion – a socialist infrastructure disguised under ‘crisis’.
Indeed, he uses bias and partisan accusations all the time, as his accolytes accuse anyone who dissents as unAmerican or racist. So, he denigrates Congress, denigrates the American people..and ignores and rejects the Constitution.
He’s taking America to fascism.

Reality surpasses fiction, in 11 ways!
God bless the charming idiots, but that’s not an excuse for elevating any of them to the highest office. He must have looked like the best useful idiot ever to the wannabee string pullers who garnished his campaign coffers: Nearly a billion dollars!
The journalism industry volunteered enough second-tier useful idiots to enroll enough third-tier useful idiots to get the man elected president. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we did it! Whether we knew it or not, we could not wait to see what leveraged idiocy could accomplish, and we will soon find out!
Some mistakes are more painful and more expensive than others.
Update re Van Jones
When Robert Gibbs was asked if Jones still enjoyed the confidence of the President Gibbs apparently replied only that Jones still worked for the administration.
Can you see the Bus comming? Can you see Mr Jones being picked up for the obligatory toss to the pavement? If you can’t you need serious help.
What’s the alternative? The President comming out to the podium on Tuesday to express his full confidence in his 9/11 truther who harbors openly racist oppinions? Me thinks not.Ol’ Jonesey is going to have to resign.
Wait until the other marxists in the administration start drawing public attention. If I were Mark Lloyd, I’d start worrying now.
Why do bad things happen to good people?
“Cinco de cuatro.” This is the guy who publicly criticized Americans because they do not speak foreign languages. But he doesn’t either. Clearly his narcissism enables him to exempt himself from his barbs. Or maybe he doesn’t view himself as an American?
Why am I posting this. No one is listening.
Ever since the “Great Society” of Lyndon Johnson, the people of America have by their complacency allowed this country to be dragged toward political tyranny. It is perhaps no accident that Johnson’s ostensible reason for his Great Society legislation (the burning of the inner cities by black hooligans) has come to fruition in a black President who is ideologically committed to cultural Marxist thuggery.
BC:
Here’s a friendly hint- diversion isa logical fallacy. BDS is not an argument. In case you hadn’t noticed, many conservatives were pretty disgusted with many of Bush’s acts, especially his deficits.
None of that justifies your Marxisant Messiah, however. I would remind you that the Weimar Republic was a pretty crappy government- but that in no way justifies its replacement.
And do, please come down off your moral high horse. “Obama fancies himself tribune of the people, spokesman for the grass roots, harbinger of a new kind of politics from below that would upset the established lobbyist special-interest order of Washington. Yet faced with protests from a real grass-roots movement, his party and his supporters called it a mob — misinformed, misled, irrational, angry, unhinged, bordering on racist. All this while the administration was cutting backroom deals with every manner of special interest — from drug companies to auto unions to doctors — in which favors worth billions were quietly and opaquely exchanged.”
Just another corrupt thug, and don’t pretend he isn’t.
In fact you only make yourself look a fool by asserting yourself to be one of the “good guys” when you advocate a system based on nothing more than theft and coercion.
You Communists are *always* the bad guys.

Oh, what a telling handle!
Yes, the fundamental fallacy of leftist economics is the false notion of the zero-sum world: the root from which all liberal idiocies spring.

Yes Vivo or Moho or BC it is about guts here, as one of you trolls mentioned it in some thread before, of course from a position of intellectual superiority. But you are just a fake. That´s what my gut feeling tells me. You social engineers, including the president, want to redistribute a cake you never baked, just by declaring intellectual superiority. But the people who actually bake the cake are not that stupid as you think they are. They have the recipe and they have the guts. You not. And this you know. That´s why you are here.
“There has been a peculiar strand of commentary on Obama (from David Brooks, Jon Meacham, and a few others) describing the president as a “Burkean,” apparently for his understanding of, as that New Republic piece put it, “complexity and the organic nature of change.” I think this is downright bizarre.
A certain kind of progressivism and a certain kind of conservatism have long both claimed to possess a deep understanding of the “complexity” of society. The American progressives of the early 20th century (and here I tread on Jonah’s turf and he can surely correct me) insisted that traditionalism might have been suited to an earlier simpler time when the lives of individuals and communities were contained in their narrow circles, but now in modern times our lives were shaped by massive social forces that must be understood by social scientists and marshaled by policy experts who command the whole and understand its full complexity.
But the conservatism of prescription and practice, the conservatism of Burke, had never taken life to be simple. It argued against radical liberalism — and against ways of thinking we now call progressive — in just the terms the Left would later use against the Right: that their worldview was simplistic and naïve, and ignored the inescapable complexity of human things.
So there are left-leaning and right-leaning strands of students of complexity. But they have in mind quite different things. For the Progressives, the world is too complex to be understood in human terms — in terms of sentiment, experience, honor, habit, and piety. For the Burkeans, the world is complex precisely in those human terms, and is too complex to be understood in abstract rational terms — in objective, theoretical, scientific, detached, specialized terms. In this sense the Burkeans have an organic idea of politics, while the progressives have more of a scientific view of politics.” Yuval Levin
“The real policy debate that’s underway in Washington right now is not nearly as complicated as the beltway pundits make it seem. The Obama-Democrat agenda is not about healthcare or environmentalism or the economy or even social justice. It’s about transforming the American people into cattle, tagged and penned and used and finally harvested like the domesticated (but dangerous) dumb animals they think we are. And it’s also the reason for the growing split between elite inside-the-beltway conservatives and what they clearly regard as neanderthal reactionaries in the benighted regions that live in the other 99 percent of the nation’s geography. The dirty secret is that they basically agree with the progressive social engineers; they just don’t want the necessary animal husbandry regime to be quite so nakedly obvious. They want bigger pastures for us to graze in and smaller, less painful tags stapled to our ears. Maybe then we’ll still think we’re free. The vision of the government as scientific farmer, though, is the same.
That’s why everyone involved — from politicians to the media to the pundit class — think they can get what they want by complicating and confusing and drawing out the various legislative processes until our sad little attention spans are exhausted and our anguished moos will subside into silent acceptance. They really think they are the sophisticated ones and we are the dolts. Which is their fatal mistake.
The truth is, if we would but realize it, we are the sophisticated ones. We are the inveterate consumers of government bureaucracy, while they are merely the perpetrators of it, slipping all the inconvenient rules themselves while they tighten their grip on the rest of us. We know what it’s like to be in the pen of the DMV, feel the pinch of tags attached by the Social Security administration, medicare, and the IRS, not to mention zoning boards, building codes, CAFE regulations, property tax assessors, seat-belt and child-seat laws, child welfare agencies, and pissing in a cup to get a job. We know what life is getting to be like in the shrinking barn, where their science is invading even our most private bodily functions, to the point where we can’t even flush away our own excrement without the government’s hand on the toilet handle. The only free, private place left in this country is the interior of a woman’s uterus, which when it comes to our own juvenile daughters, represents yet another invasion by the godlike farmer in charge of the herd.
They are going to try to baffle us with bullshit in the next few months. We’ll be lectured and propagandized not to give in to feelings of paranoia, especially by the great intellects on our own side, because nothing nefarious is really afoot, and our own raging gut instincts are all wrong, ignorant, and laughable.” InstaPunk
ALLIE #40, I am requesting permission to repost your reply elsewhere with full credit to you and PJTV.
I agree fully with #45 TOhio. I think it is going to a very rough ride to unseat these people. They are playing for keeps, for the power over our country and all her citizens. This is something that we have never seen here, a group of tyrants bent on destroying our country as we know it and taking it over, lock, stock and barrel. We need to be prepared for all the crookedness one can possibly imagine in 2012. Very sad that it had to come to this. This is far worse than I thought it would be. What I want to know is who is really running the show?
@54. BC: – you *are* the bad guys in all this.
Keep projecting your ad hom drivel, BC. It’s good for the troubled soul.
Just remember that it does nothing for those whose positions you pretend to support, or for your chosen ideology’s credibility. Publicly broadcast, it only demonstrates your leftist, moral adolescence.

@82. UsaBruce – that list has already been regurgipasted all over the intertubez. Rather than plagiarize and present it as one’s own work, it’s smarter to cite the source.
ALLIE#40…me, too (what 82.UsaBruce said…)
That is exactly the conversation I had with 2 different relatives summer/fall of 2008.
I didn’t say 1/10 of what you factually list.
Obviously, I didn’t have a CLUE as to the details of “what if I told you….” but based on what bama had revealed about himself, I just took that face value and said, “We can’t deal with this in the United States. We can’t let this happen”.
In both cases they lit in to me with anger and half-accusations that I was being fearful/senile. One of them said, “Whoaaa……are you seeing black helicopters, too?”
They are putting it up so the Chinese will know which frigging building to take.
When you see one over the Pentagon we are in deep Shiite.
Let’s not forget the Democratic Congress who are implementing all these bills. They are traitors. The only hope we have is that some of the Blue Dogs come to their senses and realize and acnowledge what is going on. Haven’t heard anything optimistic yet. Not one has disapproved of anything yet.
Like No. 6, I have long thought O has all the intellectual curiosity of a turnip plant. The left wing narrative was downloaded into his skull years ago and he has never once looked for updates. Whether this is inherent to his narcissistic personality or the result of being over coddled by an education establishment that fawns over promising black students isn’t important. What is important is his habit of cherry picking psuedo-factoids that fit the narrative while ignoring large chuncks of concrete evidence that does not. Such leaders always get their nations into trouble.
I can feel the frustration of so many of you. Very upset with the current administration. I remember many years ago.. in university upset with the status quo, hating what the status quo had to offer. My department head did not help matters either. He kept demanding to know what I was for, as well as what I so much against. Man I hated that, but years later, I know now what he was looking for. Its easy to know what you dont like, but what do you offer thats better?..thats the tough question. At least this president is trying to come up with some answers, even if they are not always the solutions we would choose. Who wants what the last eight years offered?
#89 Poor Citizen, the Repub members of Congress have come up with some excellent proposals. Problem is the Progressive faction of Congress ignores them, and the State Run Media blacks out any coverage, thereby denying the American people of alternatives to discuss. I’ve found them by search and research. You obviously just parrot the Party line. Go away now.
89. Poor Citizen:
Don’t you ever get diarrhea from drinking all that cool aid?
Tom:
“… who gets rewarded and who gets punished”
Obama believes that he (and by extension government) should pick the winners and losers. This is the philosphy of a totalitarian — one who believes that he has a superior ability to make decisions for others, and the power to do so. He demonstrates his desire for power and then exercises it by taking over GM, spending wantonly, promoting government centric health care legislation, and demanding everyone’s attention as he deems necessary.
Dangerous and naive, Obama hungers for power that he does not deserve and is not entitled to. We are trying to hang on to our wits while he takes us on his power trip.
President Wee Wee keeps digging. Sending bullies to town halls makes worried people into dedicated rebels who will tell family and friends all about it. Since when were people this agitated about the current pick of the elites in the Oval Office? The elites of both parties are having serious comprehension problems. Change, you say? Your betcha! Not what you had in mind? Groovy. Spirit of ’76 lives.
@89
Yeah, yeah, “Bush bad”. I’ve heard it before.

Obama is not use to being told NO or what to do…It is unfortunate we have such a person at the helm of our country. Well actually,..I do not think he personally runs things. He’s merely a figurehead. He’s had no “real” world experience. I did not like McCain, but I disliked Obama more….He doesn’t seem to live in the real world..How the heck did Obama get elected..oh yeah, stupidity of some people..
ALSO!!!.have you guys looked at the little diddy Charlie Wrangle has slipped into the Health bill??? Health reform bill not tax bill…dirty crap .. The average American that made any mistakes would be treated like a felon…
******************** Charlie is another of Obama’s a$$e$. I was offended to know we had a president stupid enought to allow this……
******************************
“Even as he fends off accusations about his own failure to pay taxes and fully disclose his financial dealings, Rep. Charles Rangel had quietly slipped into the health-care bill broad new provisions
cracking down on taxpayers in proceedings with the IRS, The Post has learned.
The changes approved by the House Ways and Means Committee that Rangel chairs would strip away legal defenses and pile higher penalties on corporate and individual taxpayers facing IRS proceedings for what they claim are unintentional mistakes, experts said.
Rangel’s bill would:
* Punish those who fail to alert the IRS to potentially questionable tax exemptions.
* Bar the IRS from waiving penalties against taxpayers who clearly erred in good faith.
* Double fines in certain circumstances.
“The bill raises penalties and eliminates many of the reasonable defenses that taxpayers havealways been able to use when honest mistakes are uncovered,” one lawyer told The Post.
In fact, the bill increases fines “in some cases even for honest mistakes,” the expert added.”

I seriously don’t know why I’m wasting my time with someone like BC, but here goes:
First, pick up Michelle Malkin’s “Culture of Corruption”. It’s number one on the NYT for the fifth straight week. I’m sure that drives you nuts. I’m also equally sure you’ll come back with a witty barrage of intelligent criticisms of Michelle Malkin and her book, without having read the book (of course).
Second, you need to wean yourself off the BDS. He’s not the president anymore. Oh I know he stole the election and did 9/11, but seriously you can come out from underneath the bed because the evil Bushy is back home in Texas. He can’t hurt you anymore.
If spending bothered you during Bush’s tenure, why doesn’t quadrupling the deficit under Obama bother you? That’s rhetorical because I already know the answer to that. Are you aware that democrats have been controlling congress since 2006, with the lowest approval rating in the history of this nation? Just sayin.
You really need to put down the Noam Chomsky books and Rules for Radicals and open your eyes. Your president and the people he has surrounded himself with all come from the same political swamp called Chicago. Why, he even reminded his audience one time during a speech “it’s the Chicago way”. Yeah, the entire nation is finding out what the “Chicago way” is all about. To borrow a line from Culture of Corruption- “crooks, cronies and tax cheats”.
There is absolutely nothing new about Obama. He is a Marxist by every definition of the word. His policies are not change. They are molded from the same rotting socialist policies of the last 75 years. If you are a believer in the constitution then you have to know this guy is bad news. The fact that you so rabidly defend him tells me that you don’t believe in the constitution. Perhaps you’re a member of the SEIU or ACORN.
Again, I don’t know why I’m wasting my time with you. Obama could knock off a liquor store and somehow it would still be Buuuuush’s fault. This tired argument doesn’t stand up to the cold hard facts of what this current administration is doing. Eyes that will not see, ears that will not hear. Unfortunately we’re all going to pay the price for dolts like you as we watch the destruction of this once great nation at the hands of radical extremists.
Come on guys…
he is only the cleverly plucked out puppet whose suntanned face made him stronger than a medieval body armor. He was culled specially for this invulnerability. Untouchable like Al Capone was in the movie.
The true bosses are the Emanuel-Axelrod pair and the Democratic Alliance billionaires like Soros, Steve Bing etc. This is the redux of the Bolshevik revolution of 1917:
at that time Jacob Henry Schiff, born Jacob Hirsch Schiff (January 10, 1847 – September 25, 1920) New York banker financed the Communist takeover in Russia. Today Georg Schwartz (a.k.a.) Soros does the same.
Everything is the same.
America is lost, get used to it.
Go by the White House, check out the garden.
It’s being watered with Gatoraide, and O’Bambi can’t figure out why nothing’s growing.
Check out the hockey stick. Not the global warming one, which is based on bogus statistics, but this one:

The last 8 years don’t look so bad, now.
If someone else has mentioned this, I guess I’ll repeat. All these czars/advisers/flunkies are college professors. Has any one of them run a company/store/car wash/whatever? They have no idea how to run anything just been on the government payroll all of their lives?
Just stopping by to see if ya’ll are wacky as ever. Yup… you never disappoint

Yes.
“”Or is he evil?”"
Yes.
B A – L A – CA — and The Very Far Away
Stalin and Obama have several similar traits. Neither one was considered to be the brightest bulb, but intelligence can be considered secondary to a keen political instinct, Stalin definitely had an instinct for consolidating political power and survival. Obama will give us insight into his abilities next week. Stalin was an excellent and inspiring speaker, without a teleprompter; Obama can mesmerize the weak minded with his sing song lilting delivery and lisping, but only with a teleprompter, while glancing from left to right while his eyes focus on the same point in each direction. In a manner that is more suited to a dummy sitting on the ventriloquist’s knee.
Obama took the direct path to the top without seasoning or cementing political alliances other than the cesspool of the Chicago Political Machine. Stalin served on a multitude of committees and forged alliances, like Rahm he planned on killing all those who opposed him. However Ayers, the domestic terrorist and confidant of Obama, spoke in front of an FBI undercover operative and explained that it would be necessary to kill 25 million of us for the Progressive Marxist Revolution to be successful. He definitely has dreams of being the first remittance man, mass murderer. Remember, Obama’s presidential campaign started in Ayers’ living room with a campaign fund raiser.
Once Stain began his purges it was already too ate for anyone to stop him. He had no interest in the welfare of the people, his driving force was power and control. Obama’s interests are power and control while feigning concern over the welfare of the people; but that is a ruse, like Stalin he is after power and control by any means. If he thought he could get away with it he would purge the country of the Conservatives on the internet, in the manner that Ayers described, and enjoy a more secure position. A Progressive Marxist uses humanitarian causes as a ploy to gain control and power.
If Obama is successful in establishing his Totalitarian State, I fully expect that I will need to leave the country to avoid persecution and death. I make no effort to disguise myself nor my distaste for this Progressive Marxist and his agenda. In other Totalitarian states resistance has meant an automatic death sentence. We play a game with stakes that are for more serious than bantering with moronic trolls, tracing your posts by an authoritarian government back to your computer and your home is fairly simple, so perhaps my decision to use my real name doesn’t really reflect that much bravado. If we maintain the Republic, the trolls will be free to continue making asses out of themselves, if Obama wins, I suggest you have contingency plans. The trolls remind me of the teenage thugs you see in town talking trash while they scratch their crotches as if they have a colony of bugs that need attention, while we are playing a much more serious game with far higher stakes.
The men who signed the Declaration of Independence, knew they were signing their own death warrants if the revolution failed. Now, I am one who will write jokes and absurd commentary occassionally, but I think we need to approach our work with the realization of what failure will mean. Personally, I am not getting on any trains for Obama nor will I kneel for the Communist yoke of slavery. I am taking my stand against this Marxist in the White House for now I use a keyboard, but the government provided me with other skills that I can employ if necessary. I am here until we realize victory or until the bitter end. Steve Sampson
@105. Steve Sampson:
I applaud your keen observation of the eerie similarities with the Stalinist takeover. As a person who spent his youth under Eastern European Bolshevik oppression I can add only one sinister note: at the birthplace of the Communist revolution – East from the River Elbe,- the people engaged in an armed struggle against the Reds.
Even in Russia Admiral Kolchak tried to stop the Communist: so did the Hungarians, Germans, Spaniards…
In the States these tawdry ghetto thugs – under the direction of Axelrod-Emanuel-Soros – elated the majority who, tears in their eyes, burst into adoring chant for these thugs.
Nomen est Omen! – Teabaggers and angry old folks have no chance to achieve anything: these Communists are battle hardened professional killers, their congenital skill goes back 100 years passing from one generation to the next.
Americans are ill prepared to confront social upheavals: their business oriented education and mindset is useless in these circumstances and there are naive to a fault to do anything.
Steve Sampson @105: “The men who signed the Declaration of Independence, knew they were signing their own death warrants if the revolution failed.

106.Thomas “Americans are ill prepared to confront social upheavals: their business oriented education and mindset is useless in these circumstances and there are naive to a fault to do anything.” Your point is valid. However, the specific characteristics you reference (business oriented education….naive to a fault) do not describe all Americans. Nor is it true that even those who have a business “mindset” have ONLY a business mindset.
Please don’t assign us to defeat when we are just beginning to fight the battle which has been presented to us.
Americans have accomplished something in the last 6 months that sophisticates swore we would never be able to do: the “gifted” obama has been driven to distraction, exposed, and, in fact, been stopped from doing what he wanted to do this summer. Why do you think they have become so unhinged and shrill? They didn’t think we could do what we have done either.
The Heritage Foundation is 8 weeks behind on orders of their free copies of the Constitution. They normally are sent out within 10 days of request.
@107. Anonymous:
My personal experiences made me skeptical; no ill feeling at play.
Those who recognized in time the insidious nature of neo-Marxism were and ARE silenced and ostracized and the few individuals who are still around us account for nothing and carry no weight .
You don’t know your enemy but I do.
Why?
Because from Alinsky, all the way to Soros and Emanuel-Axelrod, these people immigrated to this country from the SAME broader geographical area where I was born and spent my youth.
I know the bloody rule, mentality, the callous cruelty of these people by knowing their forebears… They do not belong to the same blood line than the Founding Fathers.
They represent a different culture which is not based on Western Civilization and values.
Constitution?
“A piece paper written by Bourgeois Slave Masters who exploited and oppressed the Proletariat.” Can you follow me?
So much for Mr. George Soros, (né Schwartz in Hungary). Can you guess what Soros from Budapest, owner of the Left thinks of those wigged Anglo-Saxons … or Soetero-Hussein from Africa?
Are you confident that you can confront the Afro-Bolshevik Alliance by patriotic words – and win?
To Flyingright: Why would I want to support a lying, despicable harpy like Malkin? Seriously. I still remember well this little jewel of hers. And it’s easy enough to look up enough of the claims in her “Culture of Corruption” book-shaped pile of BS to know it’s just the same old, same old malicious right wing nonsense. I triple dawg dare you to point out something, anything in there that I can’t turn around and B-slap you with. Go ahead — you or anyone else give it your best shot, but you better think long and hard about what that book-like object is suppose to be about and whether that makes even the slightest bit of sense in context.
I had pointed out elsewhere that you can use this poll as a baseline for much of the American is gullible, and this poll for how many are complete morons. Both polls indicate that there are more than enough fools out there to support a small army of Malkins, many of whom work for Rupert Murdoch in some fashion.
@109. BC: – I triple dawg dare you to point out something…
LOL!!
I’m sure everyone is anxiously (and knowingly) awaiting your scholarly, debunking response to Michelle’s wildly successful – and, so far, incredibly insightful and well-documented – best-seller.
Here’s a little tip though: buy the book and read it first before you start working. As things stand, few people are going to take you seriously since you’ve obviously never laid eyes on an actual copy.
Give us a heads-up before your masterpiece goes to print, BC. I’ll send you a check for a pre-released, autographed copy.
Troll.
Thank you Patriot Meryl, it is reassuring to know that you are not the only one willing to stand on the wall.
It is nice to hear that Heritage is overwhelmed with requests for the Constitution. Hopefully, people are waking up the the real and present danger to the country, the one on Pennsylvania Ave.
Patriot Thomas, your former experience is invaluable for the cause of Freedom, please tell us more of life behind the Iron Curtain. However, I must ask you not to underestimate the American vet: there are millions and for most of them a rifle is a precision instrument. Some are young and I salute their patriotism, but there are many more who may not be able to run 20 miles with 70 lbs. of gear and 200 hundred rounds but they have many skills to be utilized including those that can punch the center out of an eight inch bull at 1,000 meters. These are hardened men with integrity, men who have been tested and don’t fear crossing the river. Some have nothing left to lose but their dignity, and asking for that might earn an express ticket to hell.
Don’t be discouraged, Thomas, at these gray haired old men, I would stand with them against any enemy in the world, especially these gutter punks from the inner city sewers.
Long Live The Republic! my Patriot Friends
bc.every one of your posts make me chuckle,so YOU get one cookie:

get out of the echo-chamber and listen to it.you WILL learn something,and there is enough bush-bashing to keep you engaged.
no need to thank me,you deserve it.
Thomas, I can only imagine the feelings you experience. But don’t give up on America just yet. Sure, the most visible of us are old, because younger people have to work. That means we have experience and judgement. Tea parties are the beginning, not the end. For every one at a tea party is hundreds of younger folk that couldn’t come.
Lots of us are young. Most of us are armed. Surely you have noticed that sales of weapons are way up, and ammunition is snatched up as soon as it is available. Many of us have military experience, and our military will not attack us. Rather the military will join us, because they ~are~ us, they are our kids and brothers. Even if some of the police support the left, it will not be enough. Inner city gangs are too undisciplined to be much opposition, most of them are addicts. Union thugs may be more disciplined, but they are not enough.
America is not this government – America is an idea. Like you, we or our ancestors emigrated here, sweated and toiled, fought, bled and died for America, to give us a better country than they had. The things we post here and there may not make clear that we are angry to the bottom of our souls that these scum threaten our country. You have no idea how many of us would lay down our lives for America. In a heartbeat.
We are mostly slow to anger, and mind our own business. We tend not to want to talk about revolution and civil war, because thinking about the necessity makes us very emotional. We hope we can avoid it. But don’t for a minute believe that we are not thinking about the possibility, and planning for it. We are the producers, the innovators, the doers, the taxpayers, we are the ones that keep it all afloat. We are the risk planners. We may not be great speakers, but we are intelligent, hard-working and educated, and freedom is in our bones.
This land is your land, this land is my land. If they kill me, well, I’ve had a good life. There is no place left to go. Bring it on. I have faith in the people of America.
jodetoad, Your comments brought me to tears because they expressed very eloquently not only my sentiments but the sentiments of a majority of Americans. If this country cannot be saved politically you are correct there are many, many Americans that will not go quietly into the night but will fight using whatever means are necessary. This is what the liberals and state run media didn’t know. We’ve all been silent for so long they thought the communist, fascist agenda now be foisted on us would be humbly accepted. They were wrong.
I posted 107 and I see it came up as “Anonymous”…that was not intentional! 108/Thomas: Thank you for your further comments.
As far as I can tell, I don’t believe that most of the strong feelings and thoughtful yelling (yup, that’s what I mean!) is shallow in the sense that we just think, “Oh, goodness, if I use patriotic talk, they’ll feel all bad and back down.” I really don’t believe that.
However. You have an “advantage” in that you have faced this at close range before. We are “amateurs”, granted, in even imagining this. So….we have to start where we are. Use what we know. Express ourselves the best we can. The alternative–being afraid and silent–?? No.
I’d rather make mistakes and learn as I go.
Have you seen the movie, “Red Dawn”? That thing was filmed, I suppose 50 years ago almost now! It struck a chord then (in the midst of the Cold War). I’ve heard it mentioned recently in different conversations.
One thing that is not publicly tossed around is the complete awareness of the rural/farm/ranch/hunting people of this country who have casually referenced my entire life (I’m 65) that the one thing this country has going for it in terms of survival as a Republic is that everyone is armed. The farm set and the mountain people I’ve known all my life would never be mouthy or loud about that. It’s just always been a given.
We’ve seen the ammunition room of a retired friend of ours. He’s in his 70′s. He’s been stocking ammunition for this very reason.
Even though we just now started raising our voices about it, Thomas, do not assume that we have just now started thinking about it or identifying the dangers to our country. When I was 10 years old, my father made comments about FDR had done to the country. They KNEW–in 1954–that some BAD things had been set in motion.
Please keep speaking up. There is one sense in which we do understand, very well, that we don’t have a clue. We can’t let that stop us from trying, can we?
@115. Meryl:
Let the devil’s advocate speak.
I don’t have an intuitive understanding of the innate workings of the American soul for I was not born here.
I came from a harsh and merciless Word where the alinskies, axelrods, emanuels, soros’ and their ilk ruled for near 100 years and murdered millions from the river Elbe all the way to the the Kolyma river in Far-Eastern Siberian permafrost: the last stop for the walking dead from where there was no return.
The Devil noticed this and got horrified:
— When a word like Macaca can ruin a man career, “BOOO! YOU RACIST”- will silence everybody and compel to perform public self flagellation – that nation is not strong to stand up to the Alinsky tribe. We must not even NAME our tormentors by using proper definitions because it might be considered un-PC or offensive for somebody.
We should speak in code language, using cryptic sentences else we will be banished, censored or crucified.
Hence my skepticism.
To goy: in other words, you have nothing. The task was to simply point out something, anything in Malkin’s word turd that I couldn’t turn around and use in a B-slap. You either choked or chickened out — what a surprise.
To frank grimes: yeah, I’m going to install iTunes to listen to some no doubt random BS audio clip. Go read my response to goy.
@117. BC: – in other words, you have nothing. The task…
You’re projecting again.
Sorry putzie, but you have no authority to assign “tasks” here.
Your claim that Michelle has lied, followed by a demand that someone prove your claim wrong is the ploy of an adolescent.
When you’ve got something that actually demonstrates a problem in Michelle’s book – which you’ve obviously never even laid eyes on – show some intellectual honesty and present it. Until then, no one is impressed by your unfounded assertions and opinions, and your little “task” simply hides your ignorance and inability to argue a point.
BC=BS
bc:”no doubt random BS audio clip.”hmmm.a lecture at the center for the study of conflict and religion by the person who headed the bin laden unit in the ninties and resigned in protest during the bush adm.
