This guy needs to realize he has won the election and lose the campaign mode. Popularity doesn’t always translate into effectiveness. Along these same lines, please quit blaming President Bush for everything. Obama wanted this job and he has it–stop bellyaching about what he inherited and fix it!

Of course you’ll want to spend a little time licking your wounds. That’s understandable. They all do. But for the love of our dear lord in heaven above with the gates o’ pearl and cherubim and diamond harps and mini-wings and clouds shaped like pinwheels, don’t withdraw completely. The people at PJM need you. You have tremendous opportunity to ply your infantile (yet congealing!) expertise regarding all things languagey. Don’t hide your gift from the world, oh muse of the misinformed. You’re awesome with a capital AWE and then some. Greatness awaits . . . just out of reach.

Let this be a lesson to you all.

Meanwhile maybe you can conjure up some of that “empirical data and reality.” Perhaps you can post them in the form of a question . . . “Is Obama the anti-Christ?” Or maybe you can assign your 3rd-grade assertions to some mystical other . . . “Some people say Democrats want the U.S. to fail.” You know, more technique, this time served up not by Strunk & White but by Hannity and Ailes. Just can’t function with your nose ring empty, can you? Always gotta be led around by the snoot.

If not data and reality, then regale us with some of those jokes that remain so curiously invisible in your pinchy little circles of opinion. Careful, we know how conservatives suffer in that department . . . just not funny, just not creative. (Here’s a tip: just because something is supposed to be funny doesn’t make it funny.) But take heart, you do have the market cornered on vapid and pedantic, so you got that going for you.

Off you go now – off to Google “empirical data + reality + jokes” – keep you neatly confined inside the thoughts of others. Trust me, you don’t want to live out here where the thinking runs free. It’s just too damn real for an overly common man like you.

Sorry, I didn’t see any of that in your post. Perhaps stringing together some metaphors, alliteration and assonance might help . . . really draw the reader in. Or is it draw in the reader? How do you feel about split infinitives? How do you feel about 4,500 military deaths? How do you feel about wildly self-serving overstatement? Seems you feel pretty good about all of that. I suggest calling in another make-believe backstop.

There’s a plan behind the Obama frenzy to issue and overturn presidential orders and at the root of the frenzy of his fellow Democrats in Congress to propose, pass, and get signed into law legislation which radically changes the American social, economic, and political landscape.

As for actually reading and digesting the import of any bills before Congress votes on them and the president signing them, the prevailing philosophy is: Damn the reading, full speed ahead. Of paramount importance is keeping focused on the election of 2010.

Rahm Emanuel, the president’s version of Karl Rove, must be absolutely giddy over his achievements to date in this very young administration. As Obama’s entourage headed off to Europe en masse, 500 bodies strong, including speech writers, advisors, security personnel, chefs, personal attendants, and designated bottle washers, Rahm must be proud indeed of what they have done so far.

Now comes the biggest challenge to date. The European excursion has multiple purposes but chief among them is Obama’s need to persuade heads of state that Obama is right and that they are all as wrong as snow in April. Whatever the results, they have good reason to be cocky, considering their successes so far.

First, there was the campaign itself, a campaign in which Obama could promise and say virtually anything and commit gaffe after gaffe with impunity, knowing the mass media would cover for him, which it did repeatedly. Maybe, as Obama said, there really are 57 states and the rest of us just haven’t noticed the new arrivals?

Then there were all the promises he made regarding such hot topics as funding embryonic stem cell research, unfetterring gays in the military, shuttering Gitmo, massively increasing spending and taxes, pushing for union-sought card check, wiping out abortion restrictions via FOCA, instituting Cap and Trade, et al. All those initiatives have been fulfilled or are in process of fulfillment.

Our president hasn’t yet made specific proposals on other campaign promises and implicit aims. Sharing the wealth, dismantling the military, stemming the rising seas, restructuring the planet, climbing every mountain, swimming every sea will have to wait for his return so give the man time.

Most recently he tested the opposition waters to see what he could get away with in his quest for dictatorial powers. Obama crossed his Rubicon with his outrageous and unprecedented dismissal by fiat of the CEO of a major American corporation. And there was barely a ripple in the waters.

Call it a power grab or a dictatorial presumption by a power hungry Chief Executive, President Obama tipped his hand with that action. He revealed what some of us have long suspected, that he sees himself far removed from the norm of what a president is and what powers a president should have in a representative democratic republic.

There was good reason for his nickname, the Obamassiah.

GM’s Rick Wagoner ostensibly stepped down at the president’s “behest,” a euphemism for “demand” and took his $22 million . . .

The same applies to sexism card, gender card, sexual orientation card, etc al.

One of My Own, you should reread “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”: A boy, in a prank, screams for help when he says a wolf has attacked his sheep. The men come armed & ready to kill the beast only to discover there is no wolf. Later, the boy does the same thing. Again, the men come for help. And once again there is no wolf. A third time, a wolf does appear & attacks the boy. He screams for help, but no one comes for help as the wolf eats him alive. Why? The boy has proven himself to be a liar; therefore, he is no taken seriously. This is the same effect with the race card being thrown about by Race Vultures, Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton along with the media outlets of CNN & MSNBC.

I’m just curious. Because all I’ve seen and heard from you is how you attempt to dismantle and insult the opinions of people you don’t necessarily agree with.

I challenge you to post a rational opinion without resorting to name calling and insulting the intelligence of everyone on this blog, or resorting to calling the President names.
