The perfect metaphor for Obama’s suck-up summit
If you missed the media coverage of President Obama’s suck-up fiscal responsibility summit today, you are lucky.
It was nauseating.
Republicans including John McCain and Eric Cantor joined Democrat tax cheat Charlie Rangel and spendocrat Henry Waxman, along with Obama corrupto-cronies such as the SEIU’s Andy Stern in a boot-licking session with Dear Leader.
He gathered them all in a press conference setting and called on them as if they were journalistic stenographers.
Obama paid lip service to bipartisanship. They paid lip service to bipartisanship. Obama declared the need to fix health care. They declared the need to fix health care. Obama said we had budget problems. They nodded their heads and bemoaned our budget problems.
It was one big game of…

Didn’t you get the memo? Monkeys are now RRRAAACCCIIIISSSTTT
Bad michelle. No cookie.
Will Curious George be chairing the meetings?
there is NO bipartisanship.
NONE.so let’s all be clear about that.
Jug-eared sock puppets at the door for the first 100 attendees.
The monkeys are reaching into the pork barrel for more money.
he he he
All the corruptocrats in one place? mmmm… This may be the perfect opportunity to arrest all the criminal conspirators at one time. No muss no fuss, take them straight to jail to await arraignment on charges of gross malfeasance, theft of public funds, wire fraud, and gross stupidity.
I am interested in Cantor’s comments on this meeting.
Michelle, Of course you realize that now Al Sharpton will be protesting outside your door until you grease his palm.
Only one month down…47 more to go. I don’t think I can last that long.
A meeting of the Ministry of Truth, laughing it up and slapping each other’s backs, self-congratulating themselves for having begun a rhetorical process of solving all the worlds problems within 30 days.
Fools, all.
Ever since “the odopey one” was elected it feels like a never ending gag of the ole flaming poo on the porch trick.
It will be ok if she makes like the WaPo and preemptively apologizes.
I had a fleeting thought of what I would like to happen tomorrow night.
I hope it was intentional that the monkeys are RED.
Red like a commie.
Let me write it for her.
“I am sorry you are a bunch of thin skinned, braindead, money grubbing, idiots. If you wish to silence me, I refer you to the first amendment of the US Costitution. Yours truely, a black/asian/jewish/philipino/whatever I am today – american woman who can make up her own mind.”
But then, I have never been a good diplomatic type of writer.
I’ll admit I was wrong about Obama, his team of rivals, best and brightest, and other sundry experts. I expected them to completely tank the economy in 2 years time. It looks like it will be less than 6 months.
The Obama 12 ring circus continues. . .adding another ring every other day or so.
Knock knock knock, Mr. Revere, this is the secret service, we would like to walk through your house to make sure you are not a part of a hate group.
jsr, I think you are being too generous. It has only been a month and look at the damage they have caused!
OMG, the republicans never learn!! “Bi-partisanship” does not work! You cannot sit on the fence; the devil owns the fence!
Michael Steele needs to get his party back in line and deny funding to every congressman and senator who votes yes on anything this congress passes. At least the chairman of the Kalifornia RNC is doing that to the Gang of Six who raised our taxes another $14 billion.
(Now if there was something we could do about our Girly Governor….)
Yeah, I agree it was pretty much a gush fest, though as a point of depature to discuss the issues raised, it was a beginning. I just wished there was someone who advocated not messing with health care at all. Or, someone who would ask six million dollars to save an 89 year old woman or a premature baby? Or, both. Do cigarette smokers get lung transplants? How many liver transplants does an alcoholic get? Kidneys? And, where are all these body parts coming from? To participate in the program are you required to donate your organs?
OK, I’ll be fair. Even if everyone had the insurance and personally paid for it, will the insurance companies be forced to cover the above?
Will the insurance companies be forced to pay for platic surgery and in vitro fertillization?
Yes, it is nice (and important) to discuss the issue, but who is in the room advocating doing nothing?
Acting President Obama plays the donkey kong real good.
Amazing isn’t it? We will be well below 7000 on the dow this week and obama just created a debt we don’t even know if it can be funded or not and its been only ONE month!!!
Its happened so fast that most of the country doesn’t even know that we are already bankrupt yet.
So our puppetman BO says that he is seeking fiscal responsibility in the budget. He is taking a pay as you go stance. How stupid does he think we are? He just passed the single largest spending bill in US history. A bill loaded with pork! Now he has the audacity to tell us about fiscal responsibility. BS.
Oh lookie… McCain is all bi-bartisan again. Suck a maverick!
Didn’t he have a petition AGAINST this porkulous thing? And now he’s making nice-nice with hussein?
I guess he was against this before he was before this.
I know, it’s a Monty Python sketch waiting to happen, instead of the Ministry of Silly Walks, it could be the Ministry of Obvious Obfuscation.
They must have closed the circus, because all the clowns are in D.C.
The proper spelling is Der Leader.
You said “Monkey”. You can’t say that. It’s “RAAAAAAAAACIIISSSSST!!!!”
Some bad cases of ODS.
On an earlier thread someone asked how Obama is better than Bush. One way is holding things like this in the open, not like Cheney’s energy summit where even the guest list was secret.
Or, it could launch the sequel to Python’s classic Dead Parrot sketch. The Dead Porker sketch. I smell the bacon…
“Programs, get yer Programs right here. Tell the Democrats from the Republicans. Prooooooogrammmmms.“
I was thinking J. Fred Muggs would be more appropriate.
obama detestment syndrome.
Sounds about right. I can’t believe a person who teaches “math” can’t do the basic math on this spending.
He’d have looked right at home as John F-ing Kerry’s running mate. By the way, did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam?
If Obama took a dump on your head, you’d thank him for the new hat.
lol.
I hope all of those who believe things would be better under McCain were watching. I watched most of this and it was truly nauseating these windbags patting each other on the back and congratulating fearless leader for a great start.
That’s the new one-party system folks. If you are still registered as a Republican, what is wrong with you? Join us unregistered independents. It’s very liberating.
Did anyone notice that McCain was trying to rehabilitate himself last week when he had his campaign’s “economic chief advisor” take the blame for McCain’s stand on TARP? And now here he right back being all mavericky and bipartisan.
Are their ANY grownups at all in Washington? What empty-headed windbags.
My take on this embarrassing display? They can hear us dirty peasants rumbling and are getting scared. They have no plan other than to circle their wagons and show solidarity.
It’s all coming unglued for these guys. Has any administration failed so badly so fast?
Gives a whole new meaning to “four more years (of this?).
No in fact I did not. For some reason I go deaf just about the time they try to mention his name. Could it be a RRRAAACCCIIIISSSTTT thing? Something about that $50 an hour lettace picking I suppose.That and he is an arrogant little jerk.
Well he was back in fine fettle today. Bipartisanship means Dems and the “other Dems”, McCain, McConnell, Graham, Boehner, and Spector. Is stamping something as being “bipartisan” operate under the old rules of being black? A single drop of black blood makes you black? Does saying that make me a RRRAAACCCIIISSSTTT?
And what’s with Cantor? I just can’t get a clear read on him. Every time he looks like he’s one of us, he does something like this.
BHo aint wearin any clothes. Nor is any of his cabinetry.
The Nation is as leaderless as it is clueless about what is actually happening under its nose.
DOW to 3000 and so is gold.
Goodnite America.
bipartisanship means Obama reaching out to RINOs ( Most repub senators qualify ).
The only way for McShame to rehab himself is to get embalmed.
He looks like refried hell.
Say goodnite Johnno.
Bear1909 out.
The metaphor is more like a monkey with procreative intentions trying to mount a football.
Uh huh.
Bear1909 out.
that pretty much seals me not having a rice, bean and cheese burrito for dinner.
I was over at the RNC website.
Did you know that we can download a GOP Toolbar?
Steele’s new staff is right on top of the game.
NOT
And, we can get SMS alerts to our cell phone.
And I bet I won’t exceed my monthly limit if I signed up.
Steele should be in front of the msm cameras at least 2x a day pointing out the obvious.
Is he camera shy?
This was just a launch pad for the taxation missile launch. Mass exodus of the few remaining free floating dollars in our economy to Swiss owned off short banks in 3… 2… 1….
Concerning Obama’s Financial Global Meltdown summit, you almost got your metaphors right Michelle. I know you veterans know what I mean when I say:
Dozen Monkeys + 1 foot ball.
I can’t get any clearer than that.
Funniest mental picture ever.
Monkey see, monkey do. And Al Gorebutt was in a meeting today about global warming and someone got up and raged on about how this CRISIS must be addressed immediately. It is URGENT! Any delay will destroy the entire planet. Or something like that. The fear mongers are really giving it to us with both barrels (pun intended).
Here is the opening story of the attendees.
This news link also lists the exact name and relationship of the attendees. I think our Conservative representatives were outnumbered.
Bi-partisanship Donk-style: You agree with us.
Bi_partisanship GOP-style: You give a little, we give a little.
[sigh] So there ya go!
Seems to me Obama is operating under the same premise when chairing the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, lots of meetings, lots of advisers lots of money being thrown at the problem, no results. Anyone else see the pattern?
So you’re saying the Dems act like women?
No offense to the ladies out there, but y’all do tend to get your way.
That is not a dump. It is the stool that Obama keeps talking about.
I think the correct term is Eunachs, some of us wimmin object strongly to being cast in the same sentence as Democrats.
Perhaps I should have added a disclaimer that excluded the women on this site as well as my wife.
After two wives and two daughters, I feel that I know enough about how women think to know that I don’t know anything about how women think. I just know that I’m probably wrong and will usually get forgiven if I wait long enough.
Lost all respect for Cantor over his bailout vote. He’s a gargantuan disappointment. These morons will never learn that BO’s idea of “bipartisanship” is code word for “Republican cover.” The Dems don’t need Republican votes, they just want someone with whom to share the blame when this economic Hindenburg comes crashing down.
To paraphrase Clint Eastwood from Every Which Way but Loose
“Wrong turn Clyde!”
I’m not sure if you need to ask Susie Warman,
But it seems like the time for a fiscal responsibility meeting is BEFORE, not after you go out and spend a trillion dollars.
In other words, BO and the Dem’s have it BassAckwards.
Thankfully, the GOP House standing against BOs Mess is starting to look better every day.
drfredc:
If you listen to Obama’s comments carefully, the fiscal restraint he is calling for is yours and mine, not the government’s. He will be raising our taxes and is just telling us beforehand not to complain.
We are being called upon to do our patriotic duty to cut personal spending and pay more taxes. And for God’s sake, no whining. Only parasites get to whine in this administration.
Eric Cantor better keep his butt away from anything like that, or he will lose all credibility with Cons.
As long as you admit you’re wrong, women will forgive you anything, you have learned well, grasshopper.
We both mentioned gold a few months ago – I hope people were listening.
You can’t eat gold and you will need lots of lead to protect it (which I have invested heavily in over the last year). We will diversify our portfolio with more ammunition, food, and other necessities as these bipartisan dolts in the District of Criminals put the finishing touches on the death of this once great nation. Don’t know how much more of this hope and change I can take.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!
Boomer:
It’s called “The Three Bees Strategy”: bean, bunkers and bullets. Beans to eat, bunkers to provide a safe place to store the beans and bullets to hold off the unprepared zombies who will be challenging your over your food.
Gold is excellent for making bullets with once you run out of lead.
With JD’s lgm’s new hat and Bear’s monkey humping a fooball comments, my gut just busted!
Thanks guys.
I came across this cartoon on youtube from 1948 that I found fascinating and still quite relevant. It’s 9.5 minutes but if you have the time it is well worth it. I particularly like near the end the Blue Hand of the Absolute State.
Michelle,
I hate to correct you, but if you were to place “a$$” in front of “monkeys”, you’d finally have the perfect metaphor for Congress.
Did you hear about the guys who robbed a bank, tore off their masks, ran to the street and held a protest about the rising crime rate? Looks like what just happened.
NEVER TRUST A MONKEY
Brak’s mom had it right.
try it at this link:
Never trust a monkey
Take two….
All of this political theater is intended to soften us up for the huge tax hikes that will hit the street about two weeks after the economy shows the slightest sign of recovery. That should be enough to bring the Dow under 1000 for the first time since 1982. Power to the people! (Because, you know, business isn’t people…)
That was me, and I never did get an answer.
Open, you mean like the “stimulus” bill that was rammed down our throats (apologies to Barney Frank) before anyone, including those signing it, could read it? After PROMISING to post any bill online for at least a week before signing it, for “transparency?”
And since we are looking back into the WayBack Machine, Mr. Peabody, how open were those Hillarycare meetings? Or the secret, Democrat only meetings to get this bill rammed through? Or a full disclosure on his questionable campaign donations? Or his Columbia grades? Or what he even freakin’ reads (according to Brokaw on Charlie Rose), assuming he does? Or his full associations with Wright, Ayers and Rezko? Or his association with ACORN (and resultant payback)? Or even his birth certificate?!?!?!?
And it has only been four weeks!! I even think he has accumulated more lies than Bill Clinton!
ODS? You wish, unless it means Obama Distrust Syndrome.
