Obama Invites Self to Deliver Commencement Address at Women’s College
**Written by Doug Powers

*****
Have past presidents invited themselves to deliver commencement addresses? I’m no expert on the topic, but I don’t think it happens very often — especially after the school had already chosen a speaker.
From the New York Times:
President Obama will deliver this year’s commencement address at Barnard College, officials at the college and the White House announced on Saturday.
Word of Mr. Obama’s appearance at Barnard, a 123-year-old women’s college in New York City, comes as the White House and Democrats have seized on Republican attempts to block a requirement for contraception coverage in the new health care law, saying it amounts to a “war on women.”
Democrats believe the issue could be an effective rallying point with women voters in a presidential election year, and the decision to appear at the prestigious women’s school could provide a high-profile forum for the president on that front.
An Obama administration official confirmed on Friday that the White House had called Barnard to offer the president as the commencement speaker.
Naturally, any commencement revolving around women’s rights wouldn’t be complete without a man stepping in at the last minute to take the place of the woman who was originally scheduled to deliver the address — a woman from the New York Times no less:
A month ago, Barnard College announced that Jill Abramson, the executive editor of The New York Times, would be its graduation speaker, but those plans changed with the call from the White House.
Don’t worry — the Affordable Care Act fully covers treatment for irony overdoses.
There are unconfirmed reports that during the event Kathleen Sebelius will drive around the venue in a Volt firing free contraceptives into the crowd from a converted hot dog cannon.

You could clearly hear Osama in the background cheering, “Kiss mah seff!” while vigorously patting himself on the back.
Wearing those Mom jeans, he’ll will fit right in.
Well I hope to goodness there aren’t any of those nasty religios item behind bho this time that needs to be covered up? Guess bho is doing so bad with the female voters, he needs to really get in their face to show them how wonderful he is? Being on the tube sure isn’t getting it with the gals?
PS, I do not like bho!
L
BHO speaking ar Barnard College? …They’ll be filing bankruptcy next year.
Doug, as krappy as this news always is, you always seem to add something to crack me up:
Thanks!
:):)
It would be really funny if the contraceptives being fired from the converted hot dog cannon were condoms.
Hey..wait… that’s what you meant.
Ask Obama if he thinks it is fair for the FDA to deny women Avistan, a very effective breast cancer fighting drug and let them die, so he can use the money for contraception benefits to buy votes.
*A better natural use for the hot dog cannon would be to fire P-BO from it, straight to Chicago, come late January 2013; I would relish that!
He couldn’t choose a Catholic university instead? He could even add his “America is no longer a Christian nation” speech to his “Catholic are imposing their views on all Americans in violation of the 1st amendment” speech.
Maybe Mr. Obama can explain to the women, how $6 a gallon gas will help them. He can explain how a 16 trillion dollar national debt, 15-20% actual unemployment, and the promise of massive inflation and taxation to come will bode well for them. He can explain about how he has no respect for Christians and how their archaic birth control policy is harmful to women, while not mentioning EVER the gender apartheid that exists in Islamic countries. Forget those women (its just a cultural thing) women need to be reminded that above all they are entitled to free (read: paid for by someone else) contraception, and if they should be punished with a baby, they can have an abortion (also ‘free’) up to the end of the third trimester. And Obama can even explain how he went to bat for women by opposing the Infant Born Alive act which would have forced doctors to care for babies who survived botched abortions. Perhaps he can clue those eager women in on his favorite way to kill a baby – just let it die, or cut its brainstem with a pair of scissors. WWBD?
Yes, Obama cares deeply about women. He needs their votes.

Official Announcement: The Democrats announced today that it is changing its emblem from a Donkey to a CONDOM, because it more accurately reflects the party’s political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pr*cks, and gives you a sense of security while you’re actually being screwed!
ROTFLOL!! Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
Happens every time.
Why doesn’t he invite himself to speak at the Georgetown University Law School commencement. That way, he can give a shout out to Nancy Pelosi’s new posterslut for birth control.
Funniest. Thing. Ever!!!
Pimping the POTUS?
I guess bho could give all the gals graduating a bag of all his speeches since elected? That should keep them busy for years listening to that krap?
L
how very humble of him to accept his own invitation. besides, the new york times editor will be greatful she is being replaced by her messaih. i mean how often do you get to tell your upper east side friends, yes, i am off next week, when my messiah decided to replace me. she will have super street cred after this.
lmfao…oh how lib pols know their many constituents. Those are the people who are stupid enough only to be able to understand a three word mantra, instead of actually thinking an issue through. Perhaps we should rename the pro-life movement…the “war on fetuses”…except why should libs care about fetuses? They don’t vote.
Green eyed Lady:
I officially nominate you for Best Post Of The Year!!!! Anybody seconds my nomination?
second!!
I think Jill Abramson invited Obama to take her place. She is widely known as a booster of her gender while leaving qualified males in the dust:
I will certainly “third!” the vote for Green Eyed Lady’s post being post of the year!! Too funny!!
Flashback to having that jordache look and trying to stay cool.
You mean the condom cannon?
I just read all the comments.
Great minds think alike!
GreenEyed Lady #10 – Love it! I am forwarding that remark to my e-mail list!!
So what will he say? “The cornerstone of your personal freedom is to be able to let a series of guys masturbate in you without being punished with a baby. So let’s pick someone we all hate, and I’ll make them buy you some birth control pills.”
Hussein Obama himself as an example, does make a very strong argument in favor of contraception.
Right now I would be inviting Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Then I would likely actually learn something.
peteee #17 is right – Ms. Abramson surely got a tingle up her leg when she heard the news.
Can he please invite himself to resign from the presidency?
Obowmao to NYT: There’s a party in my pants and you’re invited!
Still no interest in reporting the news that the White House presents forgeries?
@EWTHeckman, hunter, conservative hispanic, Flyoverman, redgypsy, 1ConcernedMom
LOL!
Isn’t that too funny and too perfect? Love it!
I must confess, I saw that this morning while over at The Hill… it made my day sooo much I printed it out and stuck on the wall of my computer cabinet …then posted it here. I went back to find the name of the brilliant person who wrote it, no luck….LOTS of comments.
Glad you all enjoyed it as much as I did.
Green eyed Lady,
With a grin I must say, you are indeed special, in so many ways !
sicoit #5,
It is precisely Doug`s wit and wisdom that makes me proud to call The Powers That Be “home” !

Barnhart College’s Media Outreach Dept. released this statement earlier today:
While we are disappointed to be losing Jill Abramson as our commencement speaker, we are thrilled to accommodate the President and lend our institution to his re-election campaign. After all, it’s not like Ms Abramson gave up her seat to a MAN.
Keep up the fight!
Let me see $9 a month from Walmart times 12 months is $108. If it costs $500,000 to get the President there – couldn’t he stay home and use the money to supply 4,629 coeds with birth control for a year?
Oh great, at Georgetown they want birth control pills, I suppose at Barnard and Wellesley they want condoms.
Wait, sorry, hadn’t read the comments, some of you already had the condom joke!
Hey my joke with the blue pill seems to have disappeared….
Obama at Barnard, a 123-year-old women’s college: “Michelle wanted me to remind you to ‘eat your vegetables’, but I’m not sure what she meant.
Once again The Won dictates to others… wannabe dictator. I guess they had no choice, really. Obama sics the full power of the Govt on anyone who crosses him.
A college full of 123 year old women? Never too old to learn, I guess.

So, Dr. Double Post. We meet again. Anyway, what do 123 year old women need woth condoms, anyway?
I will happily outfit a CO2-powered BB pistol to shoot out Bayer aspirin as a very effective birth control for the ladies of Barnard College.

ASTRONOMY QUESTION OF THE DAY

Oh, Barnard College! I thought you said Barnyard College. An honest mistake. Nevermind.
A campaign pander here, a campaign pander there, everywhere a campaign pander and most of it on our dime. Someone should do a FOIA request for all his campaign vs official trip ledger to see what funny business might be going on.
Oh Green-Eyed Lady (#10),
you are indeed the Grand Prize winner! Genius.
Now, someone needs to photoshop or draw a proper Dem. Party logo.
Tee Hee! I got her “hot dog cannon”!
Oh, wait. I’m into human females…
Barnard? Sounds like a guys name to me.
Although, there are probably some lefties there that look like Barnards..
What do you call someone who is not invited to a private function who then invites themselves regardless?
CLASSLESS !!!
With many exceptions, the left will do anything, no matter how dispicable to change the subject so it benefits them. Consider the hyprocracy of the Gifford shootings, Clinton’s bimbo attacks, Bretbart’s death, OWS/Teaparties, and their twisting a constitutional issue into a contraceptive debate.
Obama is just doing what most liberals do, and his allies in the press will praise him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second. Not only are hot dogs bad for obesity, but, bad for climate change, too! Liberals told me so! Even the notion of a hot dog cannon is eeeeeeeevil!
Barry note to his speechwriters…
ATTENTION: Rush called Fluke a SLUT! ATTENTION! Rush called Fluke a slut! (shhhh… David Letteraman called Sarah Palin a slut… shhh… shhh…)
It would be more appropriate for Obama to Deliver the Commencement Address at the Midwest Academy…
Fixed it.
Errah, Barnard, Really??!! I guess there will also be a NYC fundraiser in the neighborbood on that trip! Gotta keep Air Force One on the campaign trail.
I am really getting sick and tired of epublican leadership being led by the nose with these red herrings. They need to call them out constantly and relentlessly.
BTW when does Obama mandate that I get my heart aspirin and allergy medicines fo’ free? Then I can start bird dogging some o’ dem GTown lawyer womens. O yeah.
Republican…
Add: narcissistic, and egotistical.
Oh, oh.
I guess I should rescind my invitation to myself to the next WH State Dinner.
Not at all. By all means, go. I hear the Obamas’ put on a gala and feast that would surpass anything Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, amateurs in comparison, ever dreamed of.
Barnard is steeped in leftist, feminist ideology and is perfect for Obeyme’s speech. I’m sure the audience was packed, packed I tell you, standing room only. Obeyme wouldn’t get 2 people to show up at Hillsdale if he invited himself over there. Barnard is a leftist, commie/marxist female pig stye–he is the perfect speaker for those losers.
Green Eyed Lady – You have, once again, posted superior commentary.
He’s probably just looking for a way to get out of making the commencement address at one of the service academies.
I’m hearin’ you – JS Ragman. Only difference is some politically correct General will ORDER the troops to show up and look happy. The press will then take the WH-approved photos of everyone cheering the pretend CiC – sickening.
Typical iodiotic Doug article.
If the republicans were smart they would be doing the same thing, but they’re not.
A college for 123 year old women? Must not have a large enrollment.
Before they do file for bankruptcy, moolah from Barry’s stash will be forwarded to them. Alas, it will be insufficient and like Solyndra and all of the green companies going bankrupt, Barnard College will go belly up.
Ask female Obamabots, presuming they have any intellectual honesty remaining, if it is fair that they are denied Avistan so that Barry can buy votes with contraceptives.
It would be even more fun to see Barry splash down a mile or two into Lake Michigan.
How much would she have been paid for speaking? Will Barry send her the money she is now losing out on by being pre-empted?. Somehow, I think not. But, hey, she probably does not need it anyway.
OUCH!!!
I think what Moochelle meant was that vegetables are the new contraceptive. So, eat up, regressive folks.
You know what, ILoveBeingDemented…you are so quick to criticize Doug Powers. Let us all see your examples of the fine writing you have done. Post your blog where we can see it or shut up.
