Obama Sucks

Posted: 21 Jan 2009 in Comarade Obama, Military, Politics

Obama snubbed the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball in his whirlwind of inaugural balls. I already hate this man. I think he is a piece of shit of the lowest order.

Obama blows off Medal of Honor recipients

According to TSO who was at the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball”, this newly sworn-in President for the first time in 56 years blew off the ball (that’s 14 Inaugurations).

The American Legion sponsors the ball, which recognizes recipients of Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award. It started in 1953 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first inauguration.

Event co-sponsors include 13 other veterans service organizations, among them the Military Order of the Purple Heart and the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

Speaking of rich. You need to click the link and listen to the whole thing. It’s funny as hell. You have to listen to the end. There’s a punchline.

This was unabashedly stolen from Ace of Spades.

Repo Moron

I truly believe that  the idiots of America came out in force this last election, which is why we are going to suffer for that stupidity.

Stupidity should hurt, but it shouldn’t hurt others.

Only Fox News Aired Bush’s Texas Homecoming Ceremony Tuesday.

It seems inaugural attendees weren’t the only ones cheerful about George W. Bush’s departure from Washington, D.C., Tuesday, for only the Fox News Channel aired a live broadcast of the homecoming ceremony held in Midland, Texas, for our 43rd President.

As the Los Angeles Times reported:

The rest of the networks, however, did not see the Bush address as news fit to broadcast. At 6:40 p.m. EST, MSNBC was in the middle of “Hardball,” with host Chris Matthews and guests batting around the meaning of Obama’s swearing-in. CNN was carrying live ongoing coverage of the final moments of the inaugural parade, with the Obamas beaming from the White House reviewing stand.

NBC’s Lee Cowan…

On Monday’s inaugural edition of the “NBC Nightly News,” well known Obama fan Lee Cowan made no effort to restrain his fawning over the new president, likening the experience of watching the Democrat’s speech to being in a “political cathedral.” After featuring clips of people viewing the address all over the country, Cowan cooed, “In the end, though, it really didn’t matter where you were as long as you weren’t alone.” (audio excerpt available here)

He added, “Just ordinary street corners like this one here in Chicago fell silent, almost becoming a political cathedral of sorts.” Cowan, the man who once announced that covering Barack Obama made his “knees quake,” closed the segment by rhapsodizing, “And almost everyone was making that mental scrapbook, noting the time and place where they were on this day and, perhaps, shared a collective tear.” It was, he said, “An event meant to be remembered and one meant to be shared.”

Obama Inauguration Sacred Event

At the end of Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith reflected on Barack Obama’s inauguration: “Politics, and patriotism, and the presidency. It is the place where the secular and the religious merge. And one of the sacraments of our national religion is the inauguration…So it was that as many as 2 million pilgrims made their way to Washington and the Mall to witness this most sacred event.”

Smith continued to use religious language throughout the report: “As the oath was recited, as the speech was delivered…emotions were laid bear. Tears were shed…An inauguration is a renewal of faith…A confirmation that the republic, and our belief in it, endures.”

Barack Stock

During a short segment on Wednesday’s American Morning, CNN anchor John Roberts responded to the excited demeanor of the crowds attending President Barack Obama’s inauguration by labeling the festivity “Barack-stock.” Earlier in the segment, correspondent Carol Costello dubbed it “a gigantic love fest” after she stated how there were no serious incidents or arrests involving the approximately 1.5 million people in attendance for the inauguration.

Lisa Miller Dumb…

While she pronounced his prayer as a “good job” for being generally non-offensive and inclusive-sounding, Newsweek’s Lisa Miller — who earlier this month suggested ditching inaugural prayers altogether — was nagged by the “lingering question” that “remains” from the way evangelical pastor Rick Warren closed his inauguration ceremony invocation in the name of Jesus:

Warren’s conservative theology teaches him that there is one path to God, and that is Jesus. So when he wraps his great big arms around Muslims and Jews (and homosexuals), does he really believe there’s hope for us? Or is he just being nice?

Miller, as a religion reporter, should know better. Yes — the evangelical Christian would answer — there is hope for everyone who puts his or her hope in Christ alone, and that’s why preachers like Rick Warren preach the Gospel of salvation in Christ alone. They truly believe it, and as such, it’s not nice to keep the good  news of salvation and peace with God to one’s self for fear of the niceness cops of the media world.

Spiritual Event…

The inauguration of the first African-American president is an historic affair, one that should be properly celebrated by all. But when the so-called “objective” network anchors begin comparing a routine political ceremony to a spiritual awakening, have they gone too far?

“Sacred.” “Majesty.” “Sacrament.”  “Pilgrimage.” These are words loaded with religious and spiritual meaning. And they’re words used to describe the inauguration of President Barack Obama by CBS, NBC and ABC anchors on their evening and mornings news shows.

Perhaps the most blatant conflation of politics and spirituality came from CBS chief national correspondent Byron Pitts when he described the event to Evening News anchor Katie Couric as a quiet church service, “more like the nation’s pulpit and the chapel stretched on for miles.”

A couple on the gun issue.

Over at Castle Argghhh!:

Speaking of those things I mentioned…

I wish you great success as President, Mr. Obama, although there are some specific issues that I admit I wish you less success, and in fact, failure, as I believe our definitions of what constitutes a successful endstate differ somewhat dramatically.

What follows would be one of those caveats.

Brady Sends Obama Its Pre-Inauguration Wish List

Friday, January 16, 2009

No one, including the Brady Campaign, seriously believes that Barack Obama was elected president because of his support for gun control. But Brady is pretending that it provided Obama the margin of victory in November, and has provided him with a very long list of gun bans and other restrictions that it expects from him in return.

If for no other reason, Obama might want to tell Brady “no,” because if he were to do their bidding, they would be sure to demand that he do even more. That’s demonstrated by Brady’s statement that their current request “is not intended to present an exhaustive list . . . but does provide a starting point.” It includes:

Good kill. Another douche bag off the streets.

Lincoln and Obama

Great read on the Lincoln comparison that seems to have been foisted upon asshole the One. He doesn’t even come close. Principles are separated by a huge chasm.

Obama hasn’t done shit.

Why the Outlandish Lincoln Comparison?

By Otis A. Glazebrook IV

I lost my father when I was young. I was seventeen years old. His death was the direct result of years of alcohol abuse. His death came at precisely the time when I needed a father most. The knowledge gained from that event has given me the perspective to make the following observations:

Why is it that Democrat Presidents Clinton and Obama compulsively compare themselves to more successful men who have held the Presidency?

The 42nd President, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton compared himself to JFK. The only actual common denominator turned out to be that they were both compulsive philanderers.

The “Man from Hope, Arkansas” may have been born there but he turned out to be from Hot Springs.

The 44th President Barack H. Obama, compares himself at every opportunity to arguably America’s greatest President, Abraham Lincoln. Other than settling in Illinois and getting himself elected to the Presidency, what has Obama accomplished to justify this comparison?

On Conservatism

I have often wondered what it is that a person should do about being conservative and having a Republican Party that is left of center on many issues. It’s like having two Democrat Parties. Democrat deep left, or Democrat slightly left. I don’t like either one.

I want conservatism. Right of center. No compromising on principles of conservatism, no bipartisan schmucks that say they’re conservative and turn around and stab us in the back.

Conservatism’s Dilemma: To be or not to be in the GOP

By Larrey Anderson

The GOP heavily (almost exclusively) relies on conservatives for grassroots campaign workers and financial support. But the Republican Party has a long history of exploiting conservatives’ efforts and misusing conservatives’ financial contributions. In many ways, the situation is reminiscent of an abusive marriage. Is it time for conservatives to finally recognize the lies and abuse and move out of the house? Or is some sort of reconciliation still possible?

I will make my position clear from the outset. A divorce by conservatives from the GOP would be a disaster for all of the parties involved. Just like most marriages, the grass may look greener on the other side of the fence — but it almost always isn’t. This is true for the GOP and for conservatives.

The “big tent” speeches may be staple rhetoric of the GOP hierarchy; but, if conservatives pack up and leave, the GOP will be a big empty tent. (This mass migration would include the growing number of black and Hispanic conservatives in the GOP. These good hard working people are in the GOP because they understand and live by conservative principles — not because they are part of some equal opportunity RNC scheme.)

The Climate is Confused, or Still no Proof

And how can I let the globull worming extravaganza and orgy that this election has surely wrought. Asshole the One, has already rescinded Bush’s oil exploration order. Over 70% of Americans wanted to “drill her, drill now!” but a leftist asshole gets in office and it’s business as usual.

It’s only going to get worse. Maybe it is a God send that the economy really sucks right now, or it could get worse much quicker.

Climate Confusion

By Steven Milloy

As a new president takes office and elevates global warming alarmism to official federal policy, much of America is experiencing record low temperatures. While the deep freeze amounts to little more than irony, Americans should nevertheless take what could well be a last opportunity to reconsider the cliff off which Barack Obama, Al Gore and the rest of the global warming industry want us to jump.

No doubt many experiencing the bitter cold this January have muttered under their breath that we could actually use some global warming about now. But the ongoing cold spell no more debunks global warming alarmism than Hurricane Katrina proved it was real. Weather, a short-term phenomenon, is simply not evidence of climate change, a long-term phenomenon. Weather is not the only natural phenomenon that is often misused as evidence of manmade climate change.

We’ve all read and heard about shrinking polar ice, receding mountain glaciers, endangered polar bears and a variety of other environmental phenomena that supposedly reflect the allegedly harmful effects of manmade greenhouse gas emissions. Alarmists have tried to induce the public to think that simply because the Arctic ice cap has shrunk on our watch, for example, then industrialized man must have caused it. The reason they do this is because they have been unable to prove their fundamental contention in the global warming debate – that manmade emissions of greenhouse gases drive global climate – despite the expenditure of tens of billions of dollars on climate research over the last 25 years.

And yes, the economy still sucks, and the morons in Congress just can’t quite figure out how to fuck it up even more.

I know how it can be fixed! Get Congress out of the equation. Let the market take care of itself. Let small businesses back into the mix. Stop squandering my tax dollars on pork barrel projects that amount to highway robbery.

And Now, Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Spending Orgy
By Michelle Malkin
January 21, 2009

“The time has come,” President Barack Obama told us in his inaugural address, “to set aside childish things.” He borrowed the line from Corinthians. With the Beltway bread-and-circus show over, President Obama will now get to work on borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars from you, your children and your grandchildren for a doomed fiscal stimulus.

As President Obama basked in the inaugural glow, a dark cloud of reality moved in over the Democrats’ $825 billion plan to rescue the economy. The Congressional Budget Office crunched the numbers and concluded that a huge bulk of the federal spending orgy wouldn’t actually kick in until the recession is waning — if not already over.

The CBO analysis showed that “less than half of the $30 billion in highway construction funds detailed by House Democrats would be released into the economy over the next four years” and “less than $4 billion in highway construction money would reach the economy by September 2010,” according to the Associated Press. And those are generous time estimates given the reality of molasses-slow bidding and contracting processes — bogged down by the usual weight of political wrangling, racial bean-counting and assorted union grievance-mongering.

Just $26 billion out of the $274 billion set aside in the package would reach the economy by the end of the year, the CBO found. That’s a mere 7 percent. Moreover, the AP summed up: “Just one in seven dollars of a huge $18.5 billion investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy programs would be spent within a year and a half.”
