100 Days of the Poser Presidency

(Photoshop credit: Nice Deb)
My syndicated column commemorates Barack Obama’s 100 days with the Scare Force One story as a take-off point. Imagine if this fiasco had happened under George Bush’s watch. It would have made the Left’s incessant carping over the “fake plastic turkey,” Mission Accomplished banner, and My Pet Goat incidents look like nothing.
We now know thanks to WCBS in NY that the feds knew the “mission” would cause panic and that they went ahead with the secret plans, anyway. There are still a lot more unanswered questions about what happened in the skies above New York City. I have filed two FOIA requests with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Joint Staff FOIA Requester Service Center seeking more info, including the flight manifests; communications that would shed light on the origin of the “mission,” and copies of any and all photos taken on the taxpayer-subsidized journey. Let’s have some of that vaunted transparency Barack Obama is always talking about.

100 days of reckless photo-op hubris
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2009
Come on, who’s surprised? The White House-engineered photo-op of low-flying Air Force aircraft that caused terror in New York City this week epitomizes the Age of Obama. What better way to mark 100 days in office than with an appalling exercise in pointless, taxpayer-funded stagecraft.
The superficiality, the unseriousness, the hubris, the obliviousness to post-9/11 realities: They were trademarks of the Obama campaign and they are the tattoos on his governance.
He never leaves home without his teleprompter. All the Obama world’s a stage. Or a world ready to be staged.
So, is it any wonder he would staff his White House Military Office with a clueless paper-pusher who saw nothing wrong with spending inordinate government resources – and recreating 9/11 havoc — to update Air Force One publicity shots? And who planned, believe it or not, to do the same in Washington, D.C., next month, where 53 passengers and 6 crew members on board American Airlines Flight 77, and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the Pentagon were murdered by the 9/11 jihadists?
All for some damned publicity shots.
No one should be shocked. Remember: Barack Obama is the frivolous man who concocted his own presidential-looking Great Seal before he was elected. An ego big enough to publicly display a ridiculous “Vero Possumus” (“Yes, we can” in Latin) motto and a regal eagle with the Obama campaign logo emblazoned on its chest is an ego capable of far more reckless things. Obama orchestrated a grand photo-op in Berlin, Germany, to declare his world citizenship at the Siegessäule Victory Column – a soaring monument of arrogance championed by Adolph Hitler and Third Reich architect Albert Speer. He manufactured his own Open Temple of The One in Denver for the Democratic National Convention last summer, replete with fake Greek columns.
Since taking office, President Obama has remained in perpetual campaign mode, idling in 9/10 gear. The photo album has filled up quickly with megalomaniacal moments. When his massive, pork-filled stimulus package was in trouble, he ran to Ft. Myers, Florida, for a carefully choreographed revival meeting with his most ardent supporters. “It is such a blessing to see you. Oh! Gracious God, thank you so much!” one young booster exclaimed.
The President’s famous embrace with another questioner — homeless woman Henrietta Hughes, a perpetually unemployed drifter looking for a handout — turned up on the White House online retrospective of the stimulus bill victory. (Missing: The photos of hundreds of thousands of Americans who took to the streets in Tea Party protests to oppose this massive act of generational theft and expansion of the entitlement state.)
Another Kodak moment from the stimulus campaign exposed Obama’s hype of the spending boondoggle’s effects. Using a Caterpillar plant and workers as a backdrop, Obama grandly promised that if the stimulus passed, Caterpillar would rehire laid-off workers. It made front-page headlines. After the photo-op: Caterpillar’s own CEO refuted the bogus promise and last week posted its first quarterly net loss in 16 years. After the signing, it finally dawned on pliant media outlets that the stimulus money was stupendously wasteful and the job creation estimates bogus. No pictures of those epiphanies.
President Obama’s photo-ops abroad have been more unsettling: Bowing and scraping before Saudi King Abdullah, trashing America as “arrogant” (talk about a pot and kettle moment) in front of adoring French and German students, chumming it up with Venezuelan thug-in-chief Hugo Chavez. These are the defining images of a stunt(ed) presidency blind to our enemies and in a perpetual state of (re)pose we can’t afford.
Obama appointed Leon Panetta, a chief of intelligence with no intelligence experience. He gave us Hillary Clinton, a secretary of state who cackled about the Somali pirate hijacking and laughed off serious questions about the effectiveness of enhanced interrogation techniques. He installed Rosa Brooks, a radical George Soros-trained ideologue as a top Pentagon adviser. He came close to embracing Charles Freeman as top U.S. intelligence analyst — a jihadi-sympathizing conspiracist who blamed America for 9/11.
And he appointed Janet Napolitano, the homeland security secretary who can’t get her facts straight about the 9/11 terrorists, pooh-poohed our immigration laws, disseminated a hit job on conservatives and veterans as rightwing extremist threats, and redefined acts of terrorism as “man-caused disasters.”
“Man-caused disaster.” That’s a perfect description of the Scare Force One torture photo op that took place this week, and an apt summary of the last 100 days. Say cheese.

Let’s say that BHO were 60 yrs old, white, and say not so photogenic, same policies, same everything but those 3 things. I think his popularity is 65%, would it be that high? I think not. What does that tell you about people.
There are alot of 20 somethings that voted for him that aren’t even following what is going on most done’t even know what the VP’s name is. But they are all for government making decisions and taking care of them. I call it “Generation E” (E = Entitlement)
A pathetic state we are in. BHO knows how to ‘work it’ too.
It’s not his fault. The Prompter made him do those things!
The teleprompter jokes are getting old, taking away from HIS important stuff and stopping HIM from saving the world. I watched him just this morning and HE says he does not use a teleprompter:
===
My fellow Americans and You Bitter, Gun Totin, Bible Thumping Hicks: all this talk and jokes about, about, about, about
about my using a teleprompter are not, not, not, not
not true look hurt now end of page.
===
So be careful people or Janet Napolitano
will be talking to you, put you on a list, she’ll check it twice and that is not nice. And so what if the people of NYC panicked-they voted for him, he will wipe away their tears.
Our country didn’t elect a president, it elected an ego.
Any time we see a liberal having one of those mugged by reality moments and saying, “I didn’t see that coming”, we should point out that conservatives did see it coming, and in the future they should pay more attention to what conservatives are saying.
President Potemkin
Thank you for making these requests, Michelle. I would also like to know which idiot orchestrated a simulated plane hijacking over NYC. Did it show to terror groups, that they can feel free to fly around the skyscrapers too? This whole presidency is like the script of producers. He hired the worst actors, choreographers,…except it is not funny.
People have to start seeing and calling this man what he really is…
A Muslim Usurper! I think the plane fly-over was more of a Statement than anything. When the Feds say “They Knew” it would cause panic, believe them, THAT was the purpose. All his Arab friends and contributors are rolling over laughing because they have duped the Americans. Well, Not this One!
McCloud9
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Nor this one.
Sorry fluffy, I’m in the McCloud9 camp. This is strategy to kill off any momentum on the right and boost the confidence of our enemies – foreign and domestic.
No one, no one – can be this stupid.
Good call on Kenya Slim there cCloud9.
HIS-that be Obama- friend, Congressmen and Black Panther Party founder U.S. Representative Bobby Rush (D-IL) introduced House
Resolution 45 (Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act
of 2009) in the U.S. Congress. This Act prohibits a person from
possessing a firearm unless that person has been issued a firearm
license. In order to be issued a firearm license, a person must submit
to the U.S. Attorney General specified information, including a current
photograph and thumb print of the applicant, along with a certificate
attesting to the completion of a written firearms examination. Licenses
are good for five years and may be renewed.
Weren’t the Trolls telling us NOBODY IS GOING TO TAKE YOU GUNS”?
Registration then confiscation as done in Britain and France: Tis a Brave New World It Shall Be: safe for the fascist, jihadist and all sorts of nasty people.
Fluffy…Please LOOK at who elected this man and THEN tell me about Stupidity. The 20 something College kid who knows NOTHING about this guy.
Fluffy… Stupidity IS NOT an excuse!
Nor is Ignorance!
I think fluffy has it right on the plane fiasco.
Remember, these are liberals we are talking about. They simply do not have any conception of the consequences of their action. Nor do they have any concern for anyone but themselves. None!
I am sure they figured it would be neat to fly a jumbo jet, trailed by fighter jets over NYC, probably loaded with large donors. If some “little people” get upset, oh well.
It was an unimaginably stupid thing to do. So, of course, they did it.
Another thing that should greatly concern all of you was his statement, made in Mexico, that “gun dealers along our borders” are selling guns to the cartels, which is such a patently obvious lie… and he got away with it.
They say it is always darkest before the dawn. My clock says it is just after midnight. As a Nation, we truly have entered the “dark night of the soul”.
What we are seeing is the last sticks of wood being thrown on the funeral pyre of America. And I dare say the tinder is so dry than anything could spark it off.
The question is, will we arise, Phoenix like, from the ashes? Or will we go the way of Rome, into the dustbin of history? God has sent His judgement into our midst, and his name is Obama.
Excellent column, Michelle. Thanks.
It has been a looonng 100 days.
One Honest Judge:
Is there one left who will look into whether or not this man is even eligible to hold office?
Natural-born citizen means being born in this country to 2 citizen parents.
Why have all of his records been sealed, hidden, or destroyed?
What is he spending millions to hide?
Dang, I was going to save this for PasadenaPhil, but since the feeling that we are lost will be coming up, I have a present for everyone to watch:
Samwise The Brave
Enjoy the message.
I can’t even imagine if this boneheaded stunt had been under Bush administration! We would never hear the end of it!
Vinny, this is so true! There is nothing funny about Zero man BO or his policies, or his budget or anyone on his staff with the possible exception of his VP, who can be quite funny…not meaning to do so.
BTW, anyone know where BO has him chained and muzzled?
Yes Lindsay, it is a Wonderful column, Thank You Michelle…
As for Soetoros/Obamas Records? I think an American Patriot needs to come forth and present his Occidental College Records, as for his REAL Birth Certificate, the same thing. An American Patriot MUST come forth and Be The TRUTH.
Assuming the plane fiasco is correct, what is the explanation for the flurry and total disregard for logic and law over the other 99 days? Because “they’re” liberals? We are being strategically targeted on all fronts near-and-dear to us and quite frankly, I think we ain’t seen nothing yet!
We are face-to-face with the “crisis” they are “not going to waste.” Hell or high water, we are going to need every ounce of resistance we can muster to fight every dip-s**t in this nightmare of hope and change.
I agree with Virginia Patriot, to spend close to one million dollars to prevent the release of documents that would chart Obama’s past history and prove his eligibility to be President – something he demanded of his opposition – does nothing but arouse suspicion.
One goes to that length to hide something, not to stand on a principle to protect their privacy. For him to say he would be transparent during his Presidency was one of his first and biggest lies.
I can’t imagine there’s not the least bit of journalistic curiousity from those whose job, they claim, is to investigate unanswered questions – especially when road blocks are put up to hide that information. That causes one to be more curious, not less curious.
How these so-called investigative journalists can off-handedly dismiss the charges as “conspiracy theories” when they have no proof other than a potentially forged, Certificate of Live Birth, a document anyone could obtain in Hawaii even if not born there,is beyond me.
tgr – I was only referring to the plane fiasco. But the fact that they are liberals DOES apply to all their other actions over the past 100 days, as far as congress is concerned.
Obama, Rahm, Soros are another matter. They are hard core collectivists who ARE out to destroy the USA. And, I agree, we ain’t seen nothing yet.
Try a 1000 day Press Honeymoon
Bet!
Some in my community: “Arlen got hip and moved over to the party that made a black prez HAPPEN — Not just B.S. ’bout it like your (“their”/Repub) Lincoln did!!”
And of course EVERYONE knows, just like the TV tells us, that all those tea parties were just really a new sheet for a new meaner KKK.
Another shovelful over the coffin of Conservatism in the USA.

jjmurphy – we’re on the same page…
Excellent column Michelle, thanks.
Only 100 days, and the worst is yet to come from this band of thugs.
100 million copies of of this should be printed and mailed to every household in America. What a great encapsulation of what America has hired to represent her. Thanks for getting fired up, Michelle. Keep up the good work.
Has it been ONLY 100 days!?!? Coulda sworn it was longer than that!
And the Republican Party still doesn’t seem to have it’s act together. He’s given us 1,000 opportunities to show how we’re better, but Mike Steele, so far, seems to be impotent. It’s a cryin’ shame that democrats seem to be more scared of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Sarah Palin than of our “Leader”.
Well, we still have time, but we can’t waste anymore.
The Statue of Liberty and Air Force One are the same as they were ten years ago. A government that can waste a third of a million dollars “updating” a photograph to be indistinguishable from the original has no business taxing me to pay for it.
This was a payoff to campaign contributors, nothing more. The Obama campaign should reimburse the taxpayers for the cost of the flight, or someone should be imprisoned for misappropriation of government funds.
If we tolerate this, we deserve it. Vote against incumbents in 2010 and 2012 and maybe it’ll sink in. They work for us, not us for them.
This is the opportunity for the conservatives to not waste. Make the AF 1 flight over Manhattan the symbol for Obama’s idiotic presidency.
“Ich Bin Ein Beginner” – that’s hilarious.
I’m boycotting all broadcast news today to show my disdain for their love affair with this hack. And that includes Fox News.
we need a new grading scale, F- isn’t low enough….
The Dope with Hope.
Happy 100 Days of doing nothing.
Michelle – you said it all and communicated it perfectly. Everyone should read this column which epitomizes “Obama” in a “nut shell.”
Couldn’t we do what is done with bra sizes?
We could give him a double F-. Now that’s bad.
Even the D’ohbama followers must be getting close to admitting that we are in a depression.
Have you seen the deficit figures. I would hardly call how bad he is screwing us “nothing”.
This video sums up Obama’s nothing pretty well.
Can we survive another 100 days of this imposter? Fours years will be impossible!

Narcissists con people everyday. Just move along…nothing to see here.
Is there truly no one in the MSM to question the level of commitment to national security of a WH that could conceive such an egregious act within its chain of command, w/o it raising any red flags along the way? (Not mention allowing it to be performed w/o proper notification!)
It will be interesting to see how our “usual suspects” react to this factual, well documented account of you have written of Obama’s first 100 days. No doubt they will employ much huffing ‘n puffing and gnashing of teeth while in their most strident BDS mode.
Scare Force One is just a sysmptom of a much larger problem with this out-of-control unaccountable government. The Republican leadership needs to get off their a**es and start hammering the Democrats on all these blunders and criminalities.
Where is the obvious narrative on the recession/depression precipitated by the Subprime Crisis, which in turn was manufactured deliberately by power hungry Democrats? Where are the narratives on all manner of issues like healthcare, industry nationalization, TARP, where trillions of dollars of middle class income and property are siezed by an increasingly aggressive federal government led by Democrats? All done without any deliberation or public debate whatsoever, much less serious analysis by thinking adults.
If we had an honest and responsible news media, this little President and his Marxist Congress would be heading for criminal prosecution as we speak. As long as leadership is unaccountable and political malfeasance go unchallenged by the media and the public we will continue to suffer ongoing tyranny and loss of liberty and property. I hope all the secular-”progressives” love their choice of government because they will surely reap what they have sown. Our American system of checks, balances, and governance is not broken it is shattered.
The economy continues to shrink more than expected; the stock market is at best flat; the treasury has been raped and a staggering debt awaits many future generations; jobs continue to disappear at an alarming rate and not one noteworthy “stimulus” work project has been named; the so called “stimulus” package has produced nothing of any significance and much of the money has been lost to fraud and incompetence; the government now owns some of the major means of production and the union owns a major portion of General Motors. Obama has fooled no one other than his left wing constituents and his mindless cultists. On the other hand, if you happen to be a Marxist, a socialist or a communist you must be ecstatic. Now, it would be very helpful if someone would list Obama’s accomplishments over the past 100 days . . . no qualifying babble or obfuscation, just facts please.
Great piece, Michelle. These 100 days have been unprecedented in a lot of ways, including the lack of skepticism from the “mainstream” media. (The “journo-list” seems intent on not criticizing their messiah).
I keep wondering about the Scare Force One incident and thinking “Joe Biden’s been awfully quiet lately”.
Great post OregonGrapeVine #14
If you haven’t read it please do………
It’s only been 100 days? Seems much longer. If we don’t get control in 2010, there won’t be any America left in 2012.
You watch shows like GMA on ABC about Obama’s first 100 days and you will think you are in an alternate reality.
My TV starts to take on the appearance of a telescreen.
My point exactly – where is the media/press in all this?
The press is still constitutionally charged with holding the government accountable – regardless of which party is in charge – so why do they allow this Democrat administration one free pass after another?
Despite their protests to the contrary, such actions prove liberal media bias actually does exist.
If this turning a blind eye to the Obama administration’s mistakes continues and they persist in cheer leading the administration’s every questionable move and policy, then not only is the media ceding their credibility to demand transparency from the next Republican admin., but they are also shirking their charge to keep the public informed.
Michelle, as always you summed it up much better than I can.
I tremble at the next 100 days. I hope America can survive this. I truly fear for our republic.
One hundred days of one fiasco after another fiasco. How many more days of this can we stand. Absoluttely no adult supervision in this administration.
These NY’ers are over reacting. It’s not like there was a muslim educated, islamic king bowing, America blaming, undocumented citizen on board!
One hundred days, one hundred mistakes.
Only 1361 days to go. If we are lucky.
Great column Michelle.
I look forward to your sharing the next round of hate mail with us tomorrow.
That final sentence says it all, MM. The BHO presidency is beginning to smell like Limburger!
Isn’t it possible that Specter’s finally outing himself for the Democrat we knew he was all along, was a good thing? And that it’d be even better if Collins and Snowe left with him?
Perhaps a plus-sixty majority in the Senate would lead Democrats in both to feel so emboldened and bloated with power, that their self-confidence and absolute authority over government would lead to the type of outrageous policies and liberal rule every thinking voter in the country would find offensive (after all, Americans dislike one-party rule), and result in resounding defeat for all Democrats in 2010 & `12.
Read MM’s article over at JWR, knowing full well I’d read it again here. Sums it up to a tee. I will forever think of AF1 as Scare Force One. The question still remains…what on earth were they really trying to accomplish with this boneheaded stunt?
Another 100 days of this regime moving at the pace they are, we’ll need 10 years for every one of those days to financially recover – if we ever do.
Almost every day you see Obama making a speech with his trusty side-kick “Tele.” I wonder if he’ll be so readily available when this boondoggle of a bill comes due.
“Vero Possumus” –> “Yes, We Can!” –> “¡Sí se puede!” –> Alinsky Radicals –> Lucifer
It is a Communist Revolutionary slogan, originating from people who follow Saul Alinsky – a man who acknowledged Lucifer in the front matter of his book: “Rules for Radicals”.
And the Obama logo itself has been likened to one of the logos of Bill Ayers’ Weather Underground.
Communist Revolutionaries have taken control of most of our media, our government (through fraud), and are now working to destroy capitialism and replace it with first socialism and then communism.
The good news is that if Obama is shown to be not only a poser but also a usurper, then any actions of the Obama “Presidency” would be found null and void.
Morons and dimwits would still find reason to vote into power those who will steal the property of others because they are just too damned lazy to do it themselves. The Obama electorate are just that predictable. Don’t count on 2010, there’s not enough vulnerability for the Democrats.
Many of Obama’s actions have mirrored Hitler’s actions…
While nothing surprises me anymore, I can’t help but think that this fall’s double digit unemployment, and the amount of human misery it will bring on, will make Democrats and the administration toxic in 2010 and 2012.
Never underestimate the power of stoopid.
Great so now I have to always thing of Air Force One as Scare Force One in the same way I think about what Monica did on her knees in the oval office.
Both forever tainted.
This post is tour de force of truth-telling.
A Mau-Mau mofo.
I just hearhim speak again. Amazing! How many people see the word manipulation this guy uses.
‘WE HAVE DONE THE WORK TO REMAKE AMERICA” = SOCIALISM
He goes on to talk about fairness and equality in america = SOCIALISM
As well as he told everyone this during his campaign = HOPE & CHANGE
I will CHANGE you to SOCIALISM and HOPE you don’t notice to quickly!
People really need to wake up and start understanding what this guy is saying!
Dear Bear1909,
You predicted that Obama’s presidency wouldn’t last more than 100 days. You opined, “that’s why Biden was chosen as the VP”. You also predicted that Obama would reveal himself as a “moslem” while in office. Would you care to revisit these rather interesting predictions? So far you’re 1 for 2.
Thank you,
U.S.
zzzzzzzzzzzzz
DBNinKY, as long as this administration has the MSM in its corner, they WILL NEVER tell us the truth. The Gov. will tell them that unemployment is at 7% when its 17%, and they will pass it along.
Personally, I would like to know Exactly WHERE did Paulson & Bernakie spend that 700 Billion? They NEVER did come clean on that. To many Irons in the Fire, always taking the peoples attention away from one thing to another. Slight of hand trick, what will be next?
Michelle, posts like this reaffirm why yours is the first blog I read in the morning before ALL others. YOU ROCK !!!
love ya,
roscoe
100 down, 1361 to go… OY VEY, elections do have consequences!!!
I called him the “Potemkin Candidate” before the election, and now he’s become the “Potemkin President.” A pseudo-intellectual fraud who fools the gullible with one false-front presentation after another.
Ordinarily I’d say that a president who’s too busy admiring himself to actually lead wouldn’t be such a bad thing. But if there’s one thing that Hope-a-Dope has already mastered in office, it’s delegation: between Nancy&Harry in Congress and an assortment of crooks, neophytes and ideologues as department heads and “Czars,” he can afford to party while still turning the country’s politics, economy and social mores upside-down.
That’s a sobering list.
This afternoon Obama said he’s going to “remake” America. He really said that. We don’t need to hear any more to know he’s a disaster.
Broken-record time again…:
If you really want to be disturbed, read about Weimar Germany in “The Ominous Parallels”, by Leonard Peikoff.
Look for more of these this is what an administration full of bureaucrats will get you constant missteps.
Annenberg Political Fact Check claimed that:
and
Both of those statements are NOT TRUE!
They examined a recently-produced “Certification of Live Birth” (COLB) not the “original birth certificate” from Obama’s birth.
The COLB that “Fact Check” examined was never authenticated by the State of Hawaii.
The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health DID NOT confirm that Obama was born in Honolulu. Read her Oct. 31 statement yourself. The only thing she “verified” is that the original birth certificate is on record. Other people have foreign birth certificates on record in Hawaii.
Dr. Chiyome Fukino, in her statement released October 31, 2008 made no claims about Obama’s birth location nor any claims about the authenticity of the COLB that the Obama campaign produced.
Michelle, will you also please file FOIA requests for the I-9 Forms that Obama was legally required to submit when he started his new jobs as Senator (in 2005) and President (in 2009)?
As a conservative before Reagan came on board, I have trouble with the Reagan conservative rhetoric. I think Reagan Republican may make more sense. There was never a distinction between social conservative and fiscal conservative. It makes no sense and just limits the discussion.
I think a better place to draw the line between the current socialism of the democrats and the conservatives is collectivism vs individualism. Who makes critical decisions, the government or the individual. Then I would like the Republicans to make a commitment to ROLL BACK also collectivist programs. IT is CHANGE each of us can live with. That means roll back the education, energy, health, tax initiatives of Obama. ALL OF THEM! Otherwise we could just end up with Republicans managing collectivist programs, the worst of all possible worlds.
A great summation of the last 100 days of “The Beginner.” I find it curious that libs screamed and cried about what a disaster Bush was yet when it’s their “turn” and so many mistakes and blunders have been made, it’s the most brilliant, flawless, awesome presidency ever!!!
I feel like Washington has turned into a reflection of Hollywood where nothing is real anymore. Nobody tells the truth even if that truth hurts. It’s all about PR, apprearance, message, spin to molify an easily duped American public. Bush started out the same way- well liked and supported until he started overspending and compromising every principle to expand his voter base.
This man and this presidency is a lie. If the American people think that this man or his cabinet has a clue what to do then they’re kidding themselves. The economy just shrunk 6% but that’s okay because Lgm can say it’s Boooosh’s fault once again. Our esteemed liberals want so much change in this country until we might as well either be absorbed into Canada or become a colony again to Mother Britain.
It’s so close and libs can feel it. Yet, for all their “forward-thinking” they use the same methodology into shoveling money into an education system that is broken. As a teacher I participated in that system and it forever changed my view of what that system produced. Cutting necessary weapons systems but yet it’s not a cut in Chap’s view. Perhaps, in the civilian world you can get away with such logic but in the world I live in it leaves the Air Force ill-prepared for the future. They were the worst hit in all this.
Liberals bend over for every trendy social cause or crisis yet in the end it’s a sham. They neither know truth or principles as long as they’ll belittle those who oppose them all the while saying it’s necessary to make both the economy, military, and culture ever weaker in the process.
Yep, it’s been a great 100 days.
/sarc off
Nothing positive was what I meant. Anything he HAS done has just been destructive, as you said. We are in agreement.
How ’bout “R” for “retain?” That’s what the public school systems seem to favor these days. Some schools have done away with the F grade (as a teacher I’ve had a couple of kids work really hard for the F’s I’ve given them). So instead of an “F” let’s give Prez Teleprompter an “R” and “retain” him in the Senate where his true potential was already being realized.
I’ve been thinking about this 100 days and the Arlen Spector change of heart and now realize that I have been wrong all along. I am going to go along with Arlen and change my party affiliation.
I will stop watching Fox News as it has moved far to the right and America is looking for moderates. I realize now that George Soros is an American hero. Without him, we would be a facist state under control of Republicans who hate minorities and born children and want to kill Muslims all over the world and steal their oil. He deserves to make all that money off our crisis.
I realize that we need to destroy our evil ecomony that is causing the world to melt under the glare of man made
global warmingclimate change. Our prosperity is an ill gotten gain and we must give it back to the world to get ourselves right. I know it will hurt but it’s the right thing to do. Rich people have enough money to pay for it.I now realize the constitution is racist and fatally flawed and needs to be updated for the times to ensure that there is only one party rule in the future. My party of course. That should save a lot of money for elections. I am now ok with using any means neccessary to accomplish my goals including confiscation of wealth and redistribution to supporters of my cause.
I pledge to only watch MSNBC to get the real truth from Keith Olberman and to get my laughs from the truth teller Jon Stewart. I think SUVs are bad, especially if driven by rich white people. We should all be driving those smart cars even if we are a family of six.
I now see the benefits of taking over all industry because Government can run those better than the rich white men that run them now who just loot them for personal gain at the expense of the regular working man & woman.
I now believe that every company in the US should be unionized to stop the unfair distribution of profits. In fact, now that I think about it (which is an exclusive charactor trait of Democrats), no Union is needed as the Government will take over and decide those issues.
I also can no longer see a need for the wasteful spending on the military. The only reason our country is threatened is because of our foreign policies and our stealing of other countries resources for personal gain. Now that we will change that, no country will threaten us and we can transfer military funding to poor people in Chicago and around the country. Then, there will be no homeless people or poverty. I can also spend that money to make sure that anybody who can survive the desert trip to America will get free food and health care because, gosh darn it, they deserve it. And we can use also those funds to give everyone a top notch education.
The government can test everyone to see if they should be an engineer or a streetsweeper based on their abilities (as shown on the test). That way, society will be streamlined to get the best economic effect. Thank you Arlen, Barack, Nancy, Harry, Keith, Jon, Katie, Hillary, Bill, Janet, et all for allowing me to open my eyes and finally see the light. I always was under the mistaken assumption that America was the greatest country in the world until Barack, my new dear leader and Furher, had to apologize for our actions since I was only 3 years old. I guess I just missed it.
ps. I am also beginning to see the real benefits of Islam, the religion of peace. I may need to make that switch next. Plus I can blog on Daily Kos and be as smart as all those people.
p.s.s. After reading my preview, I actually see how silly I sound and how stupid those thoughts are. Whats more amazing is that others can’t see how stupid and dangerous those ideas are, even after 100 days of Obama. Sorry for the rant. It just helps to see the stupidity when you write it out. Saved at the precipice. Whew.
Forget his first 100 days. Today is the first day of the rest of his presidency!!! Can this Country survive???
Well played. The irony is that you have just accurately described the manifesto of the modern day America hating liberal.
Google Obama Annenberg.
Obama has significant connections to Annenberg.
The COLB was produced at the Obama campaign offices, not released by the State of Hawaii.
The State of Hawaii never verified the COLB.
The only group that was allowed to examine the paper COLB was Annenberg Political Fact Check.
Annenberg Political Fact Check proceeded to make two demonstrably false statements.
Senators and Representatives “outsourced” the verification of Obama’s birth certificate, by accepting Annenberg Political Fact Check’s lies as truth.
Here is the actual text of a letter I received from one of my Senators:
The “experts from the University of Pennsylvania” were Annenberg Political Fact Check.
Obama has never authorized the release of an official copy of his birth certificate.
Obama’s birth location has been NEVER been “certified” or “validated” by the Hawaii Department of Health.
Congress examined official, certified documents from the Secretary of State from each of the 50 states. Those were the certifications of the Electoral College vote.
Is it too much to ask for our Congress to examine one more certificate… the officially certified birth certificate of the man who wants to be President and Commander-in-Chief?
Lastly, the 14th amendment defines citizenship, not “natural born citizen”ship. And to quote Leo Donofrio:
Natural born citizenship is different from mere citizenship.
Again from Leo Donofrio:
lil bHo is cementing his fate. he has fallen short on every aspect of his Presidency so far.
the tragedy for innocent American men, women and children is the universal principle lil bHo currently ignores in his pomposity: Lessons are repeated until learned
A 9/10 mentality is sure to invite disaster on an even more horrific scale than the Twin Towers.
As the Peacock prances under the glare of his own narcissistic halo, and the false adulation of his puppeteers, he is attracting the gravest of humiliations: rejection from our enemies. He is buying his own lies—- the trademark of a drug-abusive, alcohol consuming egomaniac.
Well, lil bHo, I am one who got tired of pretending and buying my own lies. And my resolve to live each day to the fullest in the Truth that is Our Nation and our PERFECT Constitution (as opposed to the cancerous tumors posited by the ACLU as “our civil liberties”), my resolve is like the pair of magic sunglasses Rowdy Roddy Piper wore in that cult classic film “They Live”…. i keep them on so I can see the veiled message behind your seemingly innocuous statements and maneuvers.
For example, my take on the Air Force One lie is that you are signaling to the Jihadis your cynicism toward the real impact of that attack on the US citizenry, and specifically the people of one of our greatest cities.
Whoops! Didnt know about it! Wont happen again! doesnt cut it. Anyone familiar with the protocols regulating the POTUS’ *ESCAPE AIRCRAFT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY* knows that the whereabouts of that aircraft is known AT ALL TIMES by ALL PRINCIPALS within the White House. The number of PRINCIPALS is enormous and requires approval from the top — tippy top—- to release that emergency aircraft from its CONSTANT STANDBY and READINESS detail.
lil bHo proved in his books his loose, nearly non-existent, relationship to facts. Now in his pompous arrogance and belief that 4 per cent margin gave him a mandate, he operates as if he is above the law, above protocols that mean something (u shouldnt have bowed to that Saudi Pig), are nailing his feet to the floor.
Americans are not a fickle lot. Yes, there are idiots among us. Look at the Democratic Leadership who are wondering how to lie their way out of the Torture MemoGate debacle. But I have met Americans in all 50 states in my years and always come to the same conclusion— we expect our President to lead US not himself around by his own vanity.
I am not impressed by this rookie a-hole. And I am less impressed with his staff, his cabinet and his puppeteers. It is a circus. It is a looting.
All in the buildup to building a “more perfect North American Union” sans the PERFECT US CONSTITUTION.
Time to go create some tangible wealth. lil bHo? He should appreciate me for giving him something to do today too….redistribute too much of what i make real today.
I am not losing hope. The Democrats are on the road to ruin. Look at the Carter Presidency— they had 61 Democratic Senators then. I am not losing hope because i believe that we can get our house in order and roll them over in 2012.
Palin/L.Cheney in 2012. Boooo-ya!
Bear1909 out.
That’s funny.
Don’t mess with the Bear. He didn’t miss his prediction of lil bHo being out of office in 100 days. lil bHo had help from clerks at the SCOTUS who killed a hearing date and “lost” briefs over his eligibility to be a candidate. The truth will come out and lil bHo will be found lacking.
I’m quite familiar with the Weimar Republic. That’s why I’ve used the terms “Going Weimar” and “Post-Weimar America” here in the past. So your point is well-taken.
Before the Man on Unicorn can sweep away the last pitiful remnants of the Republic, the Republic will have to be hollowed out first.
We can get there when the dollar has become such a mickey-mouse currency that people get paid in cash by the garbage-bag full every day, then run home to burn the dollars in the fireplace to stay warm (the firewood is used to trade for other things).
We can get there when the government becomes so discredited and so enfeebled that a political party can begin openly trying to undermine the whole political system and get away with it.
We can get there when enough Americans are so ignorant of history and so ignorant of their own legacy of economic and individual liberty that the donks can take us straight down the same road and nobody knows what “Weimar” means.
We’re getting there, we’re getting there…
Anybody who is the least bit happy with the results of Obama’s first 100 days is a committed marxist or a pathetic fool. Take you pick.
Yup. bHo’s statement that he didn’t know about the flight was a lie. Period.
Both.
Good point!
(And that should be “Take your pick.”)
Heya Soap!
I also predicted he would “convert” to Moslem Jihadi Islam. I was a little off. He never left. His bow to the Saudi SwineKing was proof enough that this dude is a Moslem.
His isolation of Israel in ham-fisted fashion is proof of his jihadi loyalties. His adoration of Iranian mullahs and that rabid chihuahua Ahmedinnerjacket is proof of his jihadi loyalties.
And his visits to the Turkish mosque while snubbing the Normandy battlefield is proof of his disdain for “Christian Soldiers”.
I’ll take 80 per cent correct any day. ROFLMAO.
Now, predictions about GOLD, Baby! C’mon….$5000 an ounce as the Dow sinks to 5000….any takers?
Soooooieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Bear1909 out
I wrote both of our Senators & my House Rep. to ask for an Official Congressional inquiry.. I would implore others to do the same.
There’s no way the Rock Star should be able to sweep his abusive little jet charter under the rug..
I wish I could do Photoshopping…I would do one called…
“The Four Whores-men of the Obamalypse!”
How would you set this up? Who would you list as the “whoresmen”? Reid, Pelosi, Frank, H.R. Clinton? Or..?
Ah, yes he did miss out on the prediction. I’m also sure that he’s more than capable of typing for himself. He didn’t issue any contingencies in his prediction.
Now, I’ll calmly wait to see where and when Obama reveals himself as a “Moslem” during the next 3 or 7 years. I won’t hold my breath though.
Sorry I missed the “spin” in post number 93, so disregard number 97.
ROFLMAO. Indeed.
Gold. Indeed. Pure Gold.
BO: The biggest “man caused disaster”, of them all.
In the end, regardless of any predictions, the sun will rise in east and set in the west.
* Unless there’s a polar shift.
* Unless the sun explodes.
* Unless a rogue comet splits the Earth in two.
* Unless the Earth’s core stop spinning, requiring a brave crew to journey down and restart it.
* Unless Venkman and Egon cross streams and every atom explodes at the speed of light.
Contingencies happen, only a lib requires a disclaimer for everything.
