In the last year, how many times can you recall the phrase “in a statement released late Friday night” in reference to some embarrassing tidbit released by the Obama administration? Too many, certainly. This morning, it was the new muslim envoy to yet another radical islamic nutjob group (why do we seem to have so many of these now?). He “regrets” what he’s been quoted as saying in support of some terrorists. But he’s got a high ranking job in Barry’s house of jokers. Yay. Go team.

With shit like this going on in the White House, we’re supposed to be mad at Rush for saying he wants Barry (’s policies) to fail?

My version goes like this: “I don’t want this president to cause my country to fail (and will fight against that end), but I definitely want his efforts to radically change the country to fail. Hard.”

I mentioned this to people at work the other day, but haven’t seen another comment/post/blog about it, so I guess I’d better before I forget.

The president has an annoying habit of thumping his hands on the podium when he speaks. I don’t know if he’s always had it and I never noticed, or if having to say fairly nice things about the country brought it out of him… but recall the SOTU speech, and think of the pattern of hands… small gesture, fold, thump. gesture broadly, fold, thump. point, fold, thump. rinse. repeat.

Watch for yourself. I literally could not hear what he was saying for the last fifteen minutes or so. I think it was on purpose.

I hope his hands are sore from it now.

Make no mistake (and damn do I hate that phrase), I have no desire to see the maggots housed in the cells in Guantanamo released anywhere in the world, let alone inside the continental United States. That being said, I just cannot resist the urge to point out another failure of Barry and Co.

Obama orders Guantanamo closure

Thursday, 22 January 2009
Mr Obama signed the three executive orders on Thursday, further distancing his new administration from the policies of his predecessor, George W Bush.

He said the Guantanamo prison “will be closed no later than one year from now.”

So Barry, it’s been a year. This ill-advised plan looks to be going about as well as your economic schemes. And healthcare takeover.

PLEASE keep up the good work!

Got this one from a friend who likes to forward jokes and such… gave me a chuckle, so I thought I’d share:

A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans.

Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.

The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different… again.

Little Johnny said, “Because I’m not an Obama fan.”

The teacher asked, “Why aren’t you a fan of Obama?” Johnny said, “Because I’m a Republican.”

The teacher asked him why he’s a Republican. Little Johnny answered, “Well, my Mom’s a Republican and my Dad’s a Republican, so I’m a Republican.”

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, “If your mom were a moron and your dad were an idiot, what would that make you?”

With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, “That would make me an Obama fan.”

Someone tell the President that the name of that country is spelled with an ‘A’.

Every time he pronounces it like some native tribesman, I want to scream.

And no, don’t tell me that technically he’s pronouncing it correctly. This is the United States. We speak American English. We do not speak PACK-i-STAN-EE.

Enough said.

Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed.
Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend.

Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary?

BOHICA, America.

This is the kind of shit your hopey-changey vote earned you. I hope you’re proud.

It occurred to me on my drive to work today, that Obama’s statements yesterday would only make it harder to put terrorists on in New York City. He referred to, basically, ‘a fair trial and a speedy execution’. No lawyer in the world would neglect to bring this up at trial.

A quick check now reveals I wasn’t the first to think of this (I doubted I had been, but hadn’t heard it brought up yet). Here’s Andy McCarthy from NRO:

More Obamateur Hour

In a meeting with the press in China, President Obama said that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be “convicted” and had “the death penalty applied to him” . . . and then said he wasn’t “pre-judging” the case. He made the second statement after it was pointed out to him — by NBC’s Chuck Todd — that the first statement would be taken as the president’s interfering in the trial process. Obama said that wasn’t his intention. I’m sure it wasn’t — he’s trying to contain the political damage caused by his decision — but that won’t matter. He has given the defense its first motion that the executive branch, indeed the president himself, is tainting the jury pool. Nice work.

Of course, if the entire purpose of this exercise has nothing to do with justice, just another show to placate the masses (that’s you and I, in case you’re not keeping up), then this makes perfect sense. Maybe they’ve already arranged for some “nutcase” to shoot KSM on the courthouse steps. Wouldn’t that play nicely on the evening news – and maybe be timely enough to distract us from the health care/bailouts/cap’n'tax issues.

Bread and circuses, anyone?

Lindsey Graham schools the Attorney General of the United States on the finer points of law.

Holder stammers. Continuously.

Dear Mr. President,

When are you going to stop being such an ass-clown and start performing even the most basic diplomatic tasks in the manner prescribed? This is not how you gain the respect of the world. I’m seriously starting to believe this is some sort of “alien race agrees to pass on the secrets of the universe if the U.S. will belittle themselves before the world” prank. Have the Goa’uld come through the Stargate with this deal? Don’t trust them, you moron!

Even after the White house made complete fools of themselves lying about the bow to Abdullah, the amateur-in-chief does it again. I’m so confident in this presidency I could vomit.

Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

This was something I was hoping would be commented on. Kind of weird to read it on an NBC website. From Chicago.

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.” Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Let’s not add in that “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow” was awarded the Medal of Freedom, not the Medal of Honor. There’s a difference. It’s big.

The executive Dear in the Headlights. Fantastic.

And here I was struggling to find a reason for it…
The Peace Prize? But How Has Obama Made The World Better?

“Three dead Somali pirates.”

(Harvey at IMAO)

I don’t think that makes it better for the real candidates for the prize.

• Chinese Human Rights Activist Hu Jia – imprisoned for campaigning for human rights in the PRC, not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
• Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China’s communist system. — not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama. (Not to mention the symbolic value of awarding a Chinese dissident on the 20th Anniversary of the Tianenmen Square Massacre.)
• Greg Mortenson, founder of the Central Asia Institute has built nearly 80 schools, especially for girls, in remote areas of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan over the past 15 years – not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
• Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, a philosophy professor in Jordan who risks his life by advocating interfaith dialogue between Jews and Muslims, also not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
• Afghan human rights activist Sima Samar. She currently leads the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and serves as the U.N. special envoy to Darfur and is apparently also not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.

(Moonbattery)

I won’t bother to go into details, there’s plenty of that around the web. I’ll just say: Ridiculous.

Okay, one comment… he’s looking more and more like Jimmy (the anti-semite) Carter every day.

Yeah, sorry… the campaign magic has worn off.
