At Last: The Video Montage Of Each One Of Obama's Pivot's On Jobs

Where he keeps reaffirming his laser like focus on jobs, jobs, jobs until something shiny comes along.

From the Puff Ho of all places (link to Puff Ho, fair warning but worth a quick read).



You would think that once you lost the Huff Po, you lost the liberal establishment. Not so. Some of the comments are saying that Puff Ho has put on a mustache and gone the way of Fox News.

Some people still insist on tracing the woodgrain.*

Thanks to Viv.

*Exit question: Is Ender's Game too obscure for a sci-fi book regarding the woodgrain reference? It's one of the few references in literature where it illustrates the point I want to make.

Video: Is Obama Channeling Carter?

Sure Obama gets compared to Carter often. There shouldn't be any wonder to the 'why'.

Video: "Eat Your Peas"

An odd turn of phrase popped up today at Obama's presser:

"Eat your peas"



Henry has this about it:

I had no idea that this was a term coined by the late William Saffire in reference to Michael Dukakis…

“Eat Your Peas” Government is a euphemism for the Nanny State, for the government which assumes that the great bulk of citizens are simply too childlike or stupid to be able to be trusted to make their own decisions about… well… anything. William Safire famously referred to 1988 Democrat presidential candidate Michael Dukakis as an Eat Your Peas politician for being such a scold, and the term stuck.

The mask hasn't just slipped but has been removed for some time now.

They Told Me That If I Voted For John McCain That There Would Be An Escalation Of Undefined Wars Over Oil In The Middle East . . .

. . . And they were right!

Yeah, the headline. That's all I got.

More: By all indications, the rebels in Libya fighting against Kadaffy seem to be backed by Al-Qaeda and The Muslim Brotherhood. This is were you root for injuries rather than sides.

This Confirms What Most People Already Knew

There isn't anything post-racial about this President.

But Obama, in his most candid moments, acknowledged that race was still a problem. In May 2010, he told guests at a private White House dinner that race was probably a key component in the rising opposition to his presidency from conservatives, especially right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent "Tea Party" movement that was then surging across the country. Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn't helping them nearly enough, he said.

A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to "take back" their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn't dispute the idea. He agreed that there was a "subterranean agenda" in the anti-Obama movement—a racially biased one—that was unfortunate. But he sadly conceded that there was little he could do about it. [Emphasis mine]

It isn't the color of his skin. It's the color of his politics. Red.

Obama is either willingly ignorant about this or gleefully lying about the 'race' aspect of this. I'm guessing he's lying.

The Dangers Of Speaking Without A Teleprompter

You might start dropping S-Bombs at a presser.

Video: I Thought I Heard Obama's State Of The Union Speech Before

At least he's being 'green' and recycled last years speech.

Fair warning, the video series is called "Firewall".*



*The usage of the word, 'fire' is for a descriptive usage only. It was used by Bill Whittle. This blog does not condone anyone using fire for any use other than to cook the occasional meal in a controlled environment. New tone and all that.

Not sure what the incest laws are in New York but just because it might not be illegal doesn't make it right.

I was going to try to make a couple more jokes about it (besides the one in the first line) but decided against it. It's just sick and wrong.

Video: The Madness Of Barack Obama

This may be an exercise in tautology but it's also a well needed reminder.

There really isn't much difference between Barack and George W. Bush. Only the speed and the scope of their policies.



Updated: Smitty brought up a good point. There is a difference between the two Presidents. I don't doubt that Pres. Bush loved this country. His policies were the result of compromise with the liberal left. No Child Left Behind among others.

Barack, I believe after watching his actions, doesn't.

Video: The Socialist

Via Smitty at The Other McCain.



I wasn't sure about this at first. It seemed to be a "Rah, rah, rah" type of video for the right. But after a few more viewings of it, it does ask the right question about Obama. Are you better off four years ago than you are today?

The Value Of This Book Really Held Up

I was at my local book store and found this gem in the dollar rack. It was a bit over the top, I thought.

See what being promised rainbows and skittle crapping unicorns will produce? Instead of a mediocre kids book, the author produced a book that brown-nosed BHO to the point of making Waylon Smithers look like Dolly, Jane and Lily.

Books like this always remind me of the this essay about The Artist and The Collective. The sad thing is the author went willingly into the collective void. No force needed, even Stalin would be impressed.

Is The Bloom Gone?

Might be.



He still can't help but lie and blame Republicans though. Why let a perfectly good strawman go to waste?

Is Obama A Socialist?

Remember, a person's character can be judged by those he chooses to associate himself with.

JFK vs. BHO

This John F. Kennedy fellow obviously must have been some sort of right wing wacko.

Cutting taxes to increase jobs and revenue? That's lunacy.



Thanks to Mickey.

In Case You Haven't Noticed. . .

. . . Blogging has been a bit light the past few days. Real world priorities have been taking place and hobbies like sitting in front of a computer reading current events have been taking a back seat.

One note of interest: The people who burned the effigy of Obama have been cleared.

West Allis police said on Friday that no criminal charges will be filed in the burning of a President Barack Obama figurine in a West Allis bar on May 15.

"The facts of the case do not support the issuance of any state criminal charges or municipal ordinance violations," Deputy Chief Jerry Ponzi said.

The West Allis Fire Department is checking to see if there were any violations of the municipal fire code.

The owner the tavern said the incident is being "blown out of proportion."
[. . .]
Since the video was released, Schoenfeld said her family has been getting death threats.

"I have to take full responsibility because it did happen at my bar," she said. "But it was not racially motivated."

The Secret Service was looking into the incident as a possible veiled threat against the president, but that investigation has since been dropped. [emphasis mine]

Did Obama Deliberately Mispronounce The Word 'Corps'?

When speaking from the teleprompter in the past, he said the word 'Corps' as in 'Corpse'.



And that wasn't the first time he's said it that way.

Yesterday, in the press conference about the Gulf oil spill -- and without the aid of a teleprompter -- he manages to pronounce it right in answering a question from Jake Tapper. At about the two minute mark, he started to speak about the Army Corps of Engineers (The video will start at that mark).



Did someone tell the worlds smartest president how it's pronounced one day? Or did he unthinkingly pronounce the words exactly how they are spelled off of the teleprompter?*

Or the worst case scenario is that he is trying to be coy and snub our troops in any way he can? It's not like he's had a history of insulting people in speeches before.  

It's something to keep an eye one to see how he'll address the military again. If he pronounces it correctly, someone gave him English lessons. If not, I'm inclined to believe he's trying to be coy and insult the military anyway he can.

*If this is the case, spell check the teleprompter's script before he has a Ron Burgundy moment. Even worse, Barack will head into Ernie Anastos territory.
