I wonder, where is the RNC? Does it still exist after November 6 or did it just shut down entirely? I ask, because here’s a story that it might be able to use to turn around some bad poll numbers on the fiscal cliff negotiations. Yet…silence from the RNC.
“There were some hotel rooms trashed and mayhem all around,” Mr Obama said at the reception for Kennedy Center Honours, awards given for lifetime achievement in the performing arts. “So it’s fitting that we’re doing this in a room with windows that are about three inches thick and Secret Service all around.”
He told the aging rockers to “settle down” and reminded them that “these paintings are valuable”.
Mr Obama, who was only seven years old when the band formed in 1968, said that Americans had immediately embraced Led Zeppelin even “when the Brits initially kept their distance”.
“We honor Led Zeppelin for making us all feel young, and for showing us that some guys who are not completely youthful can still rock,” he said.
Great band, great songs, but it’s not like a ceremony to hand them a medal could not have waited until the fiscal cliff talks were done and a deal had been hammered out. Obama has literally put being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities ahead of doing his job. If we go over the fiscal cliff, millions of Americans will suffer. Obama knows this; he just doesn’t care.
He behaves in this way, assured that a majority of Americans aren’t paying enough attention and will blame the Republicans for whatever happens. When the levee breaks on all those tax hikes that are coming, the GOP will have to answer for Obama’s actions. It’s not fair, but there isn’t much in life that is fair. It’s reality.
So it’s on the Republicans to tell the voters about this and warn them that Obama is playing around with a bunch of rich celebrities while he is paying no serious attention to the economy, no?
I do not know how the next decade will go, much less the next month. I do not know if American Exceptionalism will, at the end of the day, triumph over the seemingly unstoppable momentum against it that wishes to subserviate all to “experts” and government. I do not know if we of America are still of that robust self-confident character and strength which in old days moved heaven and earth. None of these can I predict or assure.
But what I do know, what I can predict, and what I can assure about is this–that I will never be anything but proud that when it was neither popular or considered honorable, that I stood, even if only on an individually small and petty scale that largely meant nothing and achieved nothing, that I still stood forthrightly against Barack Obama, the narcissist, demagogue, and minor tyrant.
it’s not all that bad, you can, as you say, be proud, but also,
when it all falls down, and it will, you can have the grim
satisfaction of spitting in the eyes of your stupid detractors
for good reason
he won
the country is all but
ruined already
just as he wants
and his idiot voters
are partying too
happy as larks
that we’re finished
as a country
and are now
living in a prison camp
with no fences
and life is beautiful
their kids are doomed
it’s all over
No. Obama’s only getting started.
Your desperation is showing.
Just hope “las chicas” will still like their “eye candy” when reduced to turnip tacos filled with shredded dandelions and topped with refried catsup. How many “Obamaphone” calls can the WH simultaneously keep on hold? Be fun to watch and find out! No affordable “gas” left, then, to fly that lead Zeppelin, no Hydrogen left to lift it, just O’Hotair. Be fun to watch. “The View” will have a special!
So we’re supposed to be outraged by … what, exactly? The President meeting with people? The same thing every President has always done?
Call me an imbecile, but I’m not getting the reason for outrage here. The president met with Kennedy Center honorees – the exact same thing that every single president does?
I get that you guys are desperate for an Obama scandal, but this doesn’t even qualify as a “scandal”… more like fodder for the Colbert Report.
