Your photo of the day, from a post this past Monday on Doug Powers’ blog: “TOTUS Visits With School Kids; Obama Was There Too:”

In related news of the clothes with no emperor, “Obama had to hire ‘expert’ to learn how to salute”, the Fire Andrea Mitchell blog notes, quoting a recent article from the Politico. Milblogger Sean Linnane notes that he spotted the likelihood of this back in October.
The country’s in the best of hands — capable of the crispest salutes!












Mr. President, your heart’s just not in it. Don’t bother saluting what you are unwilling to defend against all manner of folk.
Cheers,
Victoria
Totus hasn’t been helping his boss much lately, eg, in Ohio. Has he joined a union and cut down on his worktime?
Save that photo for 2012.
So, instead of asking the nearest marine how to salute, or any one of the joint chiefs of staff, the smart president hires some one to show him how to salute.
This is exactly what govt in action is all about.
It is very clear that this guy is in way over his head. He affirmative-actioned his way through the educational system…got elected Senator in Illinois because somebody convinced his opponent’s wife to come forward about her husband’s sex club activities. Barry won that seat because he only had to beat Alan Keys who didn’t even live in the state.
We know almost nothing, thanks to the MSM, about his early life…almost nothing about his mentors…his grades are classified…though he admits to using drugs…unlike George Bush’s admission, the media refuses to look into it.
We can’t see his senior thesis…we do know that he was the only president of the Harvard Law Review in its history to never be published in it.
Who IS this guy?
“Scott Brown is a truck driving doody-face…” {laughs, applause} “..thanks, I’ll be here all week; remember to tip your lunch lady and try the Kobe beef!”
why does the right conservative groups hate anyone that disagrees with their ideology??? the republicans ran this country for eight years. IT WAS A DISASTER!!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE SO SCARED THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE GONNA SHOW THE COUNTRY HOW YOUR POLICIES ARE SO OBSOLETE AND INEFFECTIVE. THIS ISNT 1980 THIS IS 2010. WAKE UP AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM BEFORE CORPORATE AMERICA OWNS EVERYONE. THE CONSERVATIVES ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A HATE GROUP. ADOLF HITLER DID THE SAME THING.
Pete,
Of course he did. By the way, the Republicans = Nazis shtick is getting on to about 70 years old, having been employed by both FDR and Harry Truman. Might want to update the memes a bit.
As to the Illinois Senate race, the ex-wife of Jack Ryan did not come forward to make any allegations of improper conduct on his part. Those were allegations made during the divorce proceeding. Subsequently, both parties asked for the records to be sealed. Both parties asked that those records remain sealed.
At the time that the press in Illinois was demanding that the records be made available to the public, the ex-wife made a statement supportive of her ex-husband, but did not comment on the allegations made during the divorce.
IIRC, the allegation was that Ryan asked his wife to do something, she said “no”, and nothing happened.
The same parties that sued to get the divorce records of Obama’s most likely opponent in the Democratic primary, which forced him to withdraw, also were behind the opening of the Ryan divorce file which forced Ryan to withdraw.
And yes, I know her name and that she is an actress.
HEY PETE, I TEND TO DISAGREE WITH PEOPLE WHO TALK THE WAY YOU DO, BUT BY YELLING AT ME IN ALL-CAPS, YOU HAVE TRULY MADE YOUR POINT IN AN IMPECCABLE AND INARGUABLE FASHION. WOW!! I NOW BELIEVE OBAMA IS OUR FINEST PRESIDENT SINCE LINCOLN, AND YES, HE IS COMPLETLY AND TOTALLY DIVORCED FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE OVER THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS!!!!!!
NICE WORK, FELLA!!!!! YA SOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ed,
Not even TOTUS would let Obama use him in front of the schoolchildren. TOTUS only agreed to appear later in front of Obama’s other kids, the Press Corpse.
Pete, Adolf Hitler was a founder of the National Socialist Workers Union and vegetarian that hated all points of view that weren’t his own, he sounds more like the dems of today than the republicans of almost any time. BTW Lincoln was a “republican” along with alot of white non-slave owners, unlike many “democrats” of the time. Put down the New York Times and pick up a history book.
