Well, the Supreme Court failed to rule the obvious, that Hillary: The Movie, was a political ad.
Be real, folks. By their own admission,
Citizens United, a conservative not-for-profit group, wanted to air ads for the movie in Democratic primary states….
That makes the purpose rather obvious, doesn’t it?
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”
And for those of you who require a bit of context:
say it ain’t so joe…are you bringing up the muslim rumor?

That’s what I said. When BHO goes on the ‘09 Spring European Tour and lets the world know what a fool he is and how bad the U.S. is, well…….it just isn’t his fault. WE knew this from the beginning and Barak is just being his foolish self. I mean really; is anyone shocked about his daily retorts, gaffs, no-class style and his John Wayne swagger (my humble apologies to the Duke and his kin)? Those with intelligence knew what we would get if he were elected. No, it wasn’t his fault.
It was the fault of the Obama-mites that set this scurge upon the planet. Yes, those brainless wonders whose IQ’s are stamped in every pair of shoes made (American or European-doesn’t matter). Do you think anyone in their right mind nominated McCain for the GOP candidate? Do you think anyone really believed that BHO could deliver the change that he was talking about without destroying the American economy and way of life? Do you really think that Americans wanted nothing more than to see My Belle Michele’s armpits at every event conceivable? No, it was the brainless, witless Obama-mites that did this to the world. And do they have an excuse? The answer is YES!!!!!!! One word-HULU!
Check this out! You will see that it came from the aquisition of a Chinese company. It started at the same time as BHO’s prodding to run for president. It is owned by news organizations. And as the advertisement says, “we’re aliens. And we are turning your gray matter into goo so that we can eat it up”. We have seen that those that voted Obama are brainless (corpses, mental deficients or just brain-dead) and sucked up all that alien crap till their brain-matter was goo. After all, like the website says “In Swahili, Hulu means, among other things, both “cease” and “desist.” It also gives other cute meanings in other languages; none of it good. They were not in a correct state of mind when they voted and, since there is no recovery, don’t know the problem that they have caused.
Next time you want to blame Barak for something just pause and think back before he was elected. If you remember that that was the way he was then, well, it isn’t his fault. It is the Obama-mites and HULU!
People are starting to remember why Republicans kept getting elected all those years.
The Economist magazine, October 30, 2008:
On the financial crisis his performance has been as assured as Mr McCain’s has been febrile. He seems a quick learner and has built up an impressive team of advisers, drawing in seasoned hands like Paul Volcker, Robert Rubin and Larry Summers. Of course, Mr Obama will make mistakes; but this is a man who listens, learns and manages well…
In terms of painting a brighter future for America and the world, Mr Obama has produced the more compelling and detailed portrait. He has campaigned with more style, intelligence and discipline than his opponent. Whether he can fulfil his immense potential remains to be seen. But Mr Obama deserves the presidency.
The Economist magazine, March 26, 2009:
HILLARY CLINTON’S most effective quip, in her long struggle with Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination last year, was that the Oval Office is no place for on-the-job training. It went to the heart of the nagging worry about the silver-tongued young senator from Illinois: that he lacked even the slightest executive experience, and that in his brief career he had never really stood up to powerful interests…
The failure to staff the Treasury is a shocking illustration of administrative drift. There are 23 slots at the department that need confirmation by the Senate, and only two have been filled. This is not the Senate’s fault. Mr Obama has made a series of bad picks of people who have chosen or been forced to withdraw; and it was only this week that he announced his candidates for two of the department’s four most senior posts…
If Mr Obama cannot work with the Republicans, he needs to be certain that he controls his own party. Unfortunately, he seems unable to. Put bluntly, the Democrats are messing him around. They are pushing pro-trade-union legislation (notably a measure to get rid of secret ballots) even though he doesn’t want them to do so; they have been roughing up the bankers even though it makes his task of fixing the economy much harder; they have stuffed his stimulus package and his appropriations bill with pork, even though this damages him and his party in the eyes of the electorate. Worst of all, he is letting them get away with it.
No. Executive. Experience. He has never even managed a Dairy Queen. That’s how a bright guy can end up looking like such an ignorant fool, because he is ignorant – by definition – about something he’s never done. No hiring. No firing. No working with budgets. No making hard decisions that absolutely must get made.
You see what we got now people? Nobody’s piloting the ship.
File this under “HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.”
One of the few campaign promises Barack Obama appears posied to keep is to close the Guantanamo Bay military compound. So far so good, if you are a progressive terrorist sympathizer. However, where are those individuals previously held at Guantanamo supposed to go?
Answer: The Democrat stronghold of Alexandria, Virginia.
… news that the Obama administration might move some detainees from their highly controlled military fortress at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Alexandria to stand trial at the federal courthouse.
“We would be absolutely opposed to relocating Guantanamo prisoners to Alexandria,” Mayor William D. Euille (D) said. “We would do everything in our power to lobby the president, the governor, the Congress and everyone else to stop it. We’ve had this experience, and it was unpleasant. Let someone else have it.”
That’s William D. Euille, who campaigned for Obama and, well did about as much as he possibly could to help the president get elected.
More than the entertaining, buyer’s-remorse irony, which will keep us entertained quite a lot over the next few years I imagine, notice the sheer mental deficiency of this rather extreme form of NIMBYism: We welcome the terrorists to come here and enjoy fair treatment under the law … but, please don’t come RIGHT here. Come to, say, Ohio, or maybe Nevada, so our conscience is assuaged and someone else can handle the messy aspects.
Classic.
It’s looking very good for Saxby Chambliss to become the 41st Republican senator in the upcoming session.
Click here to follow the results at the AJC blog. Just keep hitting F5.
He’s running much stronger than he did in the general election.
If Chambliss does win in a landslide, let me be the first to say: Thanks, Sarah.
UPDATE: at 9:00 pm Chambliss leads by over 250,000 votes – more than 60% – with over half the precincts reporting.
UPDATE II: … and at 9:05 pm, AP calls the race for Chambliss. Thanks, Sarah.
Another quick-hit potential conversation starter:
If President Obama overreaches, we should pummel him for it and march on Washington if necessary. But he is our QB now, so as Americans we must allow him to begin his presidency with assurance that we have his back.
Prior to the 2008 elections, progressives projected onto Barack Obama their hopes and we conservatives projected our fears. From his initial steps as President-elect, it appears we have all had our expectations dashed.
Having your fears dashed, it turns out, is a pretty cool thing (with hopes, however … it’s not so great.) I said a couple times I would love to be proven wrong about my assumptions that Obama’s past statements and affiliations portended dark days for America’s future. It is looking like I was wrong.
AND I, FOR ONE, AM GLAD ABOUT IT.
I think there is a real danger and missed opportunity for conservatives if we go into the 2009 federal government period poised to reflexively trash the Barack Obama presidency. He seems to have a strong pragmatic streak. Not saying he doesn’t have some important issues to work out, but I plan to give him the benefit of the doubt for a long while.
