Wow, MM, now that’s change I can believe in!
Not for nothing, but he did defeat and humiliate Bill and Hillary. You guys can appreciate that on some level, can’t you?
New slogan for the Obamessiah. “My hero is a zero!”
My thanks to School House Rock.
now how is that respectfull to our new messiah and overlord? You seem to need some re-education there young lady!!!! Report to camp 145a immediately!!!!
chap…. you bet!
I will count the clintons out when they are buried with a stake through thier hearts, not before. Plenty of people have made that mistake.
Now there’s a symbol that inspires me!
Actually, this is very true. I withdraw the motion your honor.
Zero accomplishments?
I thought he had even fewer than that!
There he goes exaggerating himself again!
You mean Bill and Hillary, the “paper tiger” duo? That was no biggie, on the whole of it, as their own party didn’t even care that much about them.
Yeah, but it’s so much nothing that it takes two hands to fully illustrate.
How awesome is that!!!
So often it is, that the simplest of changes are the most brilliant.
Ron Rockstar, well done!
haha nice!
Ron Rockstar:
Thanks for another laugh!
How true, how true.
A big fat ZERO.
notice how the captions draws it all together?
…and yet, strangely, people will vote for him and the election will be close.
???
Herd mentality. Typical of the left.
Thin the herd, tag their ears and castrate the males. We do it every spring.

Please don’t.
Uh, in some countries that sign is vulgar! But I’ll take your interpretation ~ it tells it like it is!
“Faux News Alert”
New Obama symbol to be used at convention for sign of…
“Help!” I’m feeling faint.
All paramedics are on alert to look for this “call for help”
film at 11:00
Ron Rockstar nailed it.Could it also be that black hole we will all be in if he and his bunch are elected?
is them emasculating their males not good enough for ya?
Very funny, in a fourth grade sort of way. Try googling “Obama accomplishment”. You find two kinds of answers: opponents trying to claim that there aren’t any, and people looking at the record saying what they are.
Do y’all remember the Great Harmonic Convergence of 1987? It was supposed to be: “the point at which the counter-spin of history finally comes to a momentary halt, and the still imperceptible spin of post-history commences.”
It didn’t work back then, but I think that was because they didn’t have THE SIGN. Maybe if we all make The Sign for The One - all together while facing east at sunrise - we can make this happen! The rise of the seas will stop, and the earth will begin to heal!
Service the Elephant…
this would make a great bumpersticker. also a great online web banner. if someone makes them please let me know
lgm you;re making the claim. You provide the proof. Significant legislation that Obama has originated and passed in his senate careeer:
/crickets-chirping
Yeah thought so. Like you, he’s in full posession of a vapid intellect, leaving him essentially vacuous.
Go away now troll boy, and practice your Obama Sign.
Ron Rockstar, you rule!
This is just so flat-out funny. Obama’s supporters are often his worst enemies.
Good morning lgm. And you consider those accomplishments?
That one right there torks my day. The rest of that non-sense he just went along. Did you notice his name was not on any of those bills? WHAT HAS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA accomplished? There was the Saul Alinsky school I guess. L’Internationale
OBAMA: THE RHETORIC BEHIND THE RHETORIC
But this is proof positive, as if we need it, that no-we can not get along-there is no coming together-there is no unity. If 9/11 couldn’t do it a hack from the Daly Machine can’t either.
Enjoy shira
Have a nice jihad
Don’t forget athaan (muslim call of prayer)

Totally snortworthy!
Well, you having a forth grade mentality…
Man it sure is timing for him that they released this new thing now.
If you have any friends in Germany just go ask them how they interpret that hand gesture configuration.
I will just say it isn’t pretty!
Ummm…
There’s a big difference between a “wish list” and accomplishments.
Our Hero the ZERO!
Go visit them until after the election? Until we call him back?
Maybe not, Germany might start another war and this time they would have a reason.
I have never been to Germany but my father and a few hundred thousand of his friends took a tour there. He picked up 14 Lugars and P-38s.
How he got them home he never said, forgot to turn them in I suppose.
But I am glad the man didn’t have to see BHO and lgm running around undoing his sacrifice, the Clinton white trash machine would have broken his heart.
I better take a break before I break something.

ArizonaNeanderthal said (#31):
I didn’t know about this, but it is a good idea. The payroll tax is regressive. Poor people pay a higher percentage of their income in FICA than high earners. Raising the ceiling makes this tax less regressive, which is a good thing.
Then there’s funding for the VA: Obama was for it and led the successful fight to increase it. McCain was against it. Question: should we give wounded vets the best medical treatment available or should we give them second rate treatment?
Hey Gertrude (lgm)! We keep at a fourth grade level so you and Heathcliff (Rusty) just might get the humor. But being the two sea gulls that you are you just don’t ever seem to catch on.
McCain and others were against the bill because it was loaded with pork. The bill was not just about additional funding for the VA. If it were, it would pass pronto.
We have you libtards to thank for this!
If we want 2nd rate care for our Vets, we would ship them to Canada or Mexico.
BTW lgm. You’re and idiot for your statment about Soc Sec. It will never work unless we are able to control the investment. People like you keep dipping into the till and bankrupting it.
Looks a little bit like a poop chute, which is where you’ll be taking it if Barry gets elected.
Don’t look at it! If you do, they will punch you in the arm. And two for flinching.
The top 50% income earners pay 97% of the taxes. Poor people do not pay taxes. I am assuming that the fumes are getting to you. You should just plunk down the money and get your own internet access so you don’t have to get free wi-fi at the truckstop men’s room.
Ron Rockstar said (#44):
FICA is about 14% (employer pays half, employee pays half) of income starting from zero and going up to the ceiling of about $97K. If an employer pays me $1000 this year, he/she will pay about $70 and I will pay about $70 to Uncle Sam. This is true even if it’s my whole income for the year.
What you said is true about income tax, but not about the Social Security tax.
Ron and lgm, one other thing: Self-employed taxpayers are both employer and employee; thus, they pay both halves of the SS tax, along with both halves of the Medicare tax. Also, the net income of their business flows directly onto their individual 1040 as ordinary income, driving them into brackets higher than most employed taxpayers. Thus, self-employed taxpayers are among the most-taxed people in our country, while providing most of the jobs. Very unfair.
When BO says that he will impose the FICA tax on people “earning more than $250,000/year”, he is being purposefully unclear while allowing his listeners to think just about high-salaried employees (”tax the rich”.) Neither his website nor any speech he has given tells us what he will do with net earnings from self-employment, which are by law also subject to FICA tax.
Yep, Obama’s got ahold of it with both hands, there’s no question about that!
You know, this immediately calls to mind one other ‘leader’ in recent history whom also had his own specific ’salute’ - Hitler.
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but lgm has a point. FICA is made of two components - social security and medicare. Medicare is 1.45% of gross, with no ceiling, so for that portion everyone pays the same relative to their income. Social security on the other hand has a cap, so everyone earning in excess of $97,500 (or whatever it is), is technically paying less than those who earn under $97,500, on a relative basis.
The other point lgm may be alluding to the rate as a percentage of basic minimum living. With a low income earner, this digs into not only their ‘excess’ discretionary income, but also their basic poverty line income. With higher incomes, even those still just under the cap, the effect is much lesser on their discretionary income, and no effect on their minimum standard or poverty line level of income. So relatively speaking, FICA - at least the social security portion of it - is effectively (or relatively) regressive.
He would be waisting $1000
Nor do they own the businesses that employ thousands and keep local tax bases viable. Nor do they own the expensive houses and vehicles that provide the lion’s share of public school funding through property taxes. Nor do they provide the investment capital necessary to keep businesses growing, housing loans available, or innovation possible.
The rich may not be idyllic or perfect, but the economy couldn’t make it without them.
Let’s all sing along children;
He’s got the whole world
In his hands
He’s got the whole wide world
In his…
…oops…
Will there be t-shirts?
This symbolizes, most succinctly, where we will feel the impact of his presidency the greatest.

Hello, can conservatives read, or only spew? Every wage earner pays social security tax, at a rate of a little over 14% on the first $97K.
lgm: “Hello, can conservatives read, or only spew? Every wage earner pays social security tax, at a rate of a little over 14% on the first $97K.”
In theory it is not a tax, it is funding one’s retirement program. It is capped so high income earners don’t get too much social security income when they retire.
But he tried to help the poor. That is an accomplishment.
/moonbat off
Thank you, Dasher, well stated! I reiterated your point so LGM wouldn’t miss it.
tre said: “Zero accomplishments? I thought he had even fewer than that!”
Good point, Tre. Not only has Obama not accomplished anything he actually wants to undo the accomplishments of others, like undoing the Surge to lose Iraq. So Obama really is chasing less than zero accomplishments.
Obama’s gesture,
an empty shell,
a donut’s hole,
it’s perfect,
Obama in 08.
We now have the “Salute”. It should be impresssive at 75000 strong.
What is needed next is the “Chant”. Perhaps “Hail BO” would work. Pretty impressive at 75000 strong.
This leaves two necessary ingredients.
1. 75000 adoring subjects marching in “Goose” step carrying their “torches” into the “arena”.
2. The floodlit backdrop of black draped columns displaying the “Logo”
This will make the top of this year’s “10 Best in Buffoonery”. Where Is Charly Chaplin when you need him?
PC is Thought Control

Is Obama Mr. Spock?
Awww how cute. The “O-cult” has a clever little sign-thingy.
