Obama is Just Too Cool, eh?
Obama’s Too Cool for Comedic Ridicule: “To say there’s nothing funny about this President is elevating him to the level of a deity, the way leaders are looked at in some third world totalitarian state. I’m quite certain that North Koreans cannot see anything funny about Kim Jong, Il, although the majority of the world thinks he is as entertaining as a circus midget. Ditto for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.”
Captain Kickass rides again.
America, You Voted for This
“Leadership: As Americans suffer economically, President Obama golfs, vacations, campaigns, appears on a frivolous talk show — and vacations some more. Gee, don’t we have a war and other problems to attend to?”
Will history record that Barack Obama’s only great achievement as president was getting his golf handicap down to the teens?

Obama’s Cesspool of Politics First
President Obama’s image of leadership flounders in the Gulf of Mexico. While Governor Jindal displays the true qualities of leadership, our president is stuck in Saul Alinksy gear, demonizing a foreign corporation instead of actually doing anything constructive. Disgust at Obama’s genuine incompetence at this genuine ecological disaster stretches across party lines and the ideological spectrum.
Barry blames Bush for everything about our dismal economy. A partisan rubber-stamp Congress has given Obama the wild and wasteful expenditures which his childish, failed, quasi-Keynesian witches’ brew prophesies will spend us into prosperity. It hasn’t worked. Now, oddly, congressmen facing electoral apocalypse have stopped writing our wise leader a blank check against the federal treasury.
Wearing the hat of Commander in Chief, Obama explicitly sought a general in sync with his plan to end the war in Afghanistan. Then, when General McChrystal snickered too publicly at Obama’s cartoon leadership, the president replaced him with the old Bush team — the man Obama and his pals three years ago were calling “General Betray Us.” Does this cause a “willing suspension of disbelief” in Obama?
The nomination of radical leftist women to the Supreme Court simply reinforces the image of Obama as a closet Marxist. His cabinet choices reinforce this image of radicalism. The American people, during Obama’s administration, profess to be conservative — and increasingly conservative according to Gallup, a poll that already shows that conservatives outnumber liberals in every single state of the Union.

More Bad News for Louisiana
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Senator David Vitter are now pleading with the Obama administration to stop with the destruction of the gulf states. As if the oil spill washing into the marshes and on shore is not bad enough – Obama now wants to make a horrible situation worse by imposing an offshore drilling moratorium. Such a move will cost Louisiana thousands of jobs in drilling, along with thousands more that are already affected by the collapse of the fishing and tourism industries.
To show a modicum of concern, Obama finally went to take a look at oil on shore last week –- weird, yes. Bet you didn’t know “there were golf courses near the Gulf.”
Alas, it won’t work now that a backlash is building against the new offshore drilling moratorium, which some argue the dems will try to make permanent. “The order to idle 33 deepwater rigs could sideline as many as 7,000 highly paid rig workers and cost four to five times as many support jobs at catering, service boat and drilling supply companies, the oil and gas association said.”
Cheney on Defining Leadership
Liz Cheney on Obama’s response to the BP oil spill: “You know you’ve got a president who believes that saying something makes it so. You showed it in the last segment when he said he was going to have the most transparent administration in history. But, that doesn’t mean you’re actually going to be open and transparent. It’s not the same thing as we’ve seen with him. On the war, he says he knows were at war but he doesn’t actually understand he has to lead us in the fight… And, going down to Louisiana he says, “Gosh, I’m heart-broken. I’m angry. I’m frustrated.” And then going on vacation to Chicago really doesn’t send a message that this is a man who’s leading… A gift for reading the TelePrompter is not the same as leadership.“
24% of Americans Feelin the Love for Obama
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll this week shows that 24% of the nation’s voters still Strongly Approve of the job that Barack Obama is doing as president. The number for Strongly Disapprove is now 44%, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20.
Mhew, the Won doesn’t care what the bitter-clingers think. With the Gulf Oil spill turning catastrophic, the stock market tanking, Europe set to riot, and North Korea about to start a new war, Barry is heading to Chicago for a long weekend of golf and rest. Nothing bothers this cool joker, nothing at all…
BP Oil + Obama are ThisClose
You think Dick Cheney has ties to Big Oil? Nah, the name is Obama. Barak Hussein Obama. From a Politico report:
While the BP oil geyser pumps millions of gallons of petroleum into the Gulf of Mexico, President Barack Obama and members of Congress may have to answer for the millions in campaign contributions they’ve taken from the oil and gas giant over the years.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Thought for the Day: Obama & His Press
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” ~ Joseph Goebbels (Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda)
Another Day, another low Obama Approval Rating
With people opposing health care reform 47-42, and the anemic do-nothing GOP ahead on the generic congressional ballot 43-42, Obama continues his downward spiral in the polls.
He does better when he does nothing! Check out the NPR article here, and the internals (sans the liberal handwringing and reassurances to Obama supporters plainly evident in the NPR article) here.
They’re Out There
Sixty-nine million naive buffoons who voted for Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, for POTUS. That’s 52-53% of Americans who bothered to vote, or somewhere around 66 million people, give or take a few million “special” ACORN followers who several times as well as the dead and the fictional.
Yet if you point to the error of their ways, the robotic clichémongers immediate spout off what talking points they have been told to use and can recall “… Last eight years … Bush … the mess he inherited …” while giving no thought to the fact that the dems controlled congress for the past two years when it began to spiral out of control.
WOT To Be Replaced With OCO or maybe, CAEWWTDUH
The Washington Post reported that the Obama White House will no longer use the term, the “war on terror,” but will instead use the euphemism “Overseas Contingency Operation.” Even better, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell says the preferred term is “a campaign against extremists who wish to do us harm.”
“CAEWWTDUH.”
For White House Toadies, at least the DUH part is correct…
