1 Carter is bummed.  Obama is stealing his "Worst President Evah" title.

2 Nancy boy, even on a playground I bet he got his ass kicked. Lord help us through this admin.

3 I wish the McCain campaign had continued those mocking ads. There was a moment in the late summer where they had a few good ones like this. They were great -- and you know they had to have gotten under the narcissist's skin. I get to do a lot of "I told you so's" with my libtard friends. Too bad for the country, though. Welcome, Black Carter, indeed.

4 Until Obama gets some folks taken hostage and there's a day-by-day count of how long they've been held (which will go unreported with the current Obama-shilling media), he won't take that mantle from Carter.

5 What do you mean 'the trip was not successful'? Did you not see that picture of me on The Great Wall?  I  was in fuckin' CHINA, homes! How awesome am I??

6 Team McCain?  Are you kidding?

I guess the Detroit Lions were right also - once.

"We thought we had some leverage," says Martin Indyk, a former ambassador to Israel under the Clinton administration and now an advisor to Obama. "But that proved to be an illusion."

Much like everything about Barry.

8 Obama's ineptitude and spinelessness go well beyond  ordinary  public perception. The recent endorsement of Obama's delegation to the UN of a Muslim sponsored resolution that calls for the punishment of any individual, entity or government that slanders religion (read Islam only) is breathtaking. In direct violation of the First Amendment.

9 The only question now is how long before another major attack against the U.S.?  There are a lot of sharks out there and Bami has been throwing chum in the waters as fast as he can.

That at the same time he is dragging his crank in the water with the chum.

When they bite it off he'll blame Bush.

Of course the press will all be on board with that.

10

I love me some schadenfreude as much as anyone (especially made in the original German) but this is serious stuff.

On the domestic front, it's good for us. But otherwise...yikes.

I believe there is a very carter-esque item on Obama's agenda.

you know how he wants to close the detention center at Gitmo, right?

I believe it's because he wants to give the base, the territory, everything- back to Cuba

 

12 McCain: "[Senator Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States"

Wanna rethink that?

13 Ya know, it's fine and all that the European press are calling out President Present and doing the things that our lapdog press should be, but in truth, they are whiny Europeans.  They are going to whine about us no matter what.

14 What a shock.  The man with no experience governing governs just like a man with no experience governing.

I have a challenge for anyone here. Find a former Obama supporter who is actually enthusiastically excited about Obama now.  Find someone wearing an Obama button or t-shirt.

With the new SNL skit is it clear, Obama has become an embarrassment.  When will the blacks start to abandon him because he is making black men look weak?

15 While comparing Obama to Carter is fun, I am concerned about his parallels with Wilson.

16 It's time to do Mike's Nature trick and hide the decline of Obama's popularity.  Oh and please delete these emails after you read them.

17 Ouch.

Der Spiegel is pretty left, isn't it?

This must be killing him. As a narcissist, Obama demands to be adored.

Who do you think is in charge of hiding negative things from him? That's got to be a full time job for someone.

18 My God this guy is a pussy.

19

I believe it's because he wants to give the base, the territory, everything- back to Cuba

I have little doubt of that. It would be Zero's gesture to Fidel for all the nasty treatment the U.S. has doled out to him. And a fitting tribute to Zero's empty scrotum.

20

McCain: "[Senator Obama] is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States"

Come to think of it, the above statement puts McCain in violation of McCain-Feingold, if I'm not mistaken., because it contains a full endorsement of a candidate.

Good job, John.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee actually thought they had to give Obama a boost to get him up to the level of a Jimmah Carter.  It's amazing that they pegged his weakness and incompetence so early on.

33 "We thought we had some leverage," says Martin Indyk, a former ambassador to Israel under the Clinton administration and now an advisor to Obama. "But that proved to be an illusion."

We do have leverage with the Israelis - we give them a billion dollars every year.  If he can't even get the Israelis to play ball he has no chance with the Iranians or the Chicoms.

34 Yeah, I voted for him, and I'd do it again.  He makes me all hot and sweaty.

35 The blacks don't have to abandon him to crush him politically, they just need to lose their enthusiasm. His re-election will not be "historic", so the turn out numbers won't be there.

36

There's no issue on the world stage where we are better off than we were a year ago (except maybe Iraq and that's no thanks to in spite of the repeated demands that we give up coming from Obama).

FIFY

Agreed.  Who is for woman suffring anyway?

Sexists!

38 Actually this is a good thing; we need to get the rest of the world to pony up for their own defense.  I, for one, am tired of America being the only country that cares what goes on around them.  Our European "friends" that denegrate the US every chance they get from the safety of US emposed freedom need to begin to take care of themselves.  And, finally, when Brittain finally desides they don't want to be Brittainistan, we aren't going to help them, either.

Patterico links to Newsbusters to find this criticism:

The word these days is optics, visuals, signals. In the Carter presidency, the optics were not exactly robust, and Ronald Reagan rode that to a big victory in 1980. Is the Obama White House sending some Carteresque signals these days? Some see that in the deep bow to the Emperor of Japan, an unforced error say critics. Then there was, there was what happened in China: Obama got nothing in the way of concessions over there in spite of playing the polite visitor. And his effort to speak directly to the Chinese was jammed by the government. Third, that decision to try the terrorists up in that federal court in New York City. Again, nothing that had to be done, and critics say it shows that Obama, his team doesn't understand this is a war we're in. David, that's the question. These optics are everything in a president.

From. Chris. Matthews.

43 So when the Tiger Beat man-crush wears off, will people finally realize that Obama is the wafer thin mint that will make our debt-gorged economy explode?

44 Find a former Obama supporter who is actually enthusiastically excited about Obama now.

Couple the domestic woes with the foreign policy slip-ups by The One, well...

In the end, there will be only chaos.

54 Even should Barry claim the Carter Cup for Worst President Eveh, he (Barry) would have his work cut out for him to claim the Worst Ex-President Eveh award.  So Carter still has that going for him.

55

When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a new tone of respect and diplomacy. His recent trip to Asia, however, showed that it's not working. A shift to Bush-style bluntness may be coming.

So when someone calls Obama "Wilsonian," we have a smorgasbord of options:

1) Brian Wilson

2) Wilson the volleyball

3) George Wilson, Dennis's neighbor

4) Woodrow Wilson, the Jim Crow Virginian college professor

And we have a new catch-phrase for the Obama Presidency: "What'chu talking 'bout, Wilson?"

67

I work with a few black folks, and though they thankfully are not complete Obama-bots, the used to have pictures of him and his family on the walls of their cublicles.

America is not now and cannot in the future be a place for unrestricted individual enterprise.” Woody to Obama

75

I get to do a lot of "I told you so's" with my libtard friends. Too bad for the country, though. Welcome, Black Carter, indeed.

As I kid, I do remember some op-ed columns stating "how things might have been different / better had Ford been re-elected" starting to pop up about 1979. Perhaps we will see the same with respect to McCain in 2011.

Their motto: I reject your reality and substitute my own.  Look at Jimmah Carter, a total and complete failure. Totally useless. And yet, the son of a bitch is still a true believer after all these years. Liberalism is a mental disease.

Obama = Billy Ray Valentine?

86 I've said before that we've elected Willy Loman as President, and it becomes even more obvious with every day that goes by. He is a (not very good) salesman who thinks that being "well liked" is the key to success, and is devastated when he finds out that he is badly mistaken.

I have very little sympathy for certain Obama voters* who are now realizing what a feckless catastrophe their candidate is in office. McCain was not my first (or even third) choice, but was clearly the better candidate in any sensible comparison between the two men; I remain mystified as to how so many "centrists" convinced themselves otherwise.

These Obama-voters are the people who convinced themselves that Obama would govern from the center; that he would bring his legendary smarts to bear on the tough issues of the day; and that his natural charm would somehow grease the wheels of Congress and allow his agenda to move forward. In other words, these people voted for a figment of their imaginations, not the actual candidate who ended up winning the election because of them. As a result, my opinion of these peoples' opinions has dropped rather precipitously. It's like finding out that a smart, witty person sincerely believes in Bigfoot. Sure, they're great fun and sometimes confer good advice...but they believe in Bigfoot. How reliable or trustworthy can they really be?

I'd loan then ten bucks, but not a thousand; I'd invite them over for a party, but I wouldn't let them watch my house. I'd take them to a doctor's appointment, but I wouldn't loan them my car. They are, in a word, untrustworthy. Which is why whenever someone points out an essay or other piece by e.g. McArdle or Althouse, my reaction is always the same: "Bigfoot, dude. Bigfoot."

*Althouse, McArdle, etc.

87

Just folks....they were quite happy to see a black man elected President, and I certainly was not going to rain on thier parade with my doom & gloom. But now I can take a slap at Obama now and then and not gert a bad reaction.

 

The LaRouchies are hilarious. Obama is Dick Cheney's nephew (or something), and the Queen of England is behind everything.

93

You know, if we had a lick of sense, we'd pronounce this to be the end of each and every nonsensical idea to come from leftists in the last 100 years up to and including: appeasement as policy, world governance, political correctness, disarmament, multiculturalism, climate change, animal rights, international law and a few other items de bullshitte that I haven't covered yet. We'd clean house in Washington, and I mean sweep every incumbent out. We'd ask everyone who runs for office if they now or have ever in their lives considered any of these ideas seriously, and disqualify them on that account.

If we had a lick of sense.

Only if they can claim to have saved or created jobs in it.

129 Until Obama gets some folks taken hostage and there's a day-by-day count of how long they've been held (which will go unreported with the current Obama-shilling media), he won't take that mantle from Carter.

Uh, that's happened already.  Iran, even.  Three instead of fifty-two, and the count is only up to about four months, rather than 444 days.

Wouldn't it be great if we had a nation and a leader who Ahmadinejad feared?

History nerd time.  I assume you name Buchanan the least valuable player becuase he did nothing as the southern states began to secede leaving the mess for Lincoln to clean up.  Arguably, if he had acted more forcefully, the Civil War might have been avoided.

My defense of Buchanan is that in addition to his sincere belief in the right to secede, if he had acted he would have narrowed Lincoln's options.  He was a the lamest of ducks and may have chosen the least bad of a bad set of options.

I still think it's FDR.  He inflicted huge positive harms on the country.  Yeah, he fought WW2, but any idiot faced with the same situation would have done the same.

Buchanan was more of a passive nonentity.

I heard someone say that this is not surprising - a man who never goverened is bad at governing.

It's much worse than that. Here is a man who has never had an honest job. He has never been held to account for anything. Suddenly he is thrust into a situation where he works 24-7 and is ultimately accountable.

This fool is exhausted.

144 110 The President's Enemies List

Obama's enemies list:

1) Truth

2) Justice

3) The American way.

145 Enfuego! and Impeach!


/Borrowed from the Enfuego guy and 2nd part is from me.

Hi morons and I'm #1 on the Ace's fantasy team.

146 Find a former Obama supporter who is actually enthusiastically excited about Obama now.

There's one guy I know who is still a true believer.  That would be about 1:20 people I know who I know voted for Obama.  10 of that 20 actively hate him now, the other 9 are strangely silent.

147

"Gotta hand it to Team McCain, they nailed this one."

I do?

They did?

They were the only ones?

i knew this (and many others as well) when i didn't vote for McCain.

not voting for McCain was still the right thing to do.

nothing works as well as a slap in the face, except a slap in the face, Obama has slapped America in the face.

nobody with a brain wanted Obama in office, but some of us realized there was nothing else to do, had to be done.

i thank god i'm not alone.

We will always be here for you, Barack. Always.

149 My defense of Buchanan is that in addition to his sincere belief in the right to secede, if he had acted he would have narrowed Lincoln's options.  He was a the lamest of ducks and may have chosen the least bad of a bad set of options.

I don't really think Buchanan was acting in righteous defense of any principle or ideology: he didn't really have it in him. He was, like Barry, a talker and not a doer. He's near the top of any "worst American Presidents" list mainly because he could have intervened to stop the tragedy of the Civil War, and didn't. He was a creature of sloth and indecision, and was elected President at the worst possible time, when his failings could cause the worst possible harm.

Ulysses S. Grant, though I love him as a general and a patriot, was a lousy president. He never took a dime himself, but he allowed a lot of graft and corruption to flourish in his Administration. He could have been instrumental in reforming Reconstruction-era policies to energize the devastated Southern regions; instead, his policies helped to ensure that the post-war South remained a backwater for seventy more years.

Woodrow Wilson is one of my favorite whipping-posts; it was "progressive" statism (almost outright fascism) and incoherent reasons for entering WWI that puts him on the list. And his stupid "League of Nations" was completely unable to stop the terrible slaughter of WWII (complete ineffectualness being a trait it shares with the modern-day UN), mostly due to Wilson's own blinkered "progressive" ideology. It was also his ham-handed treatment of Japan that helped to turn them from an ally in World War I to a brutal enemy in World War II.

Yeah, I took a lot of shit over at HotAir for saying the same things.  Now if Palin could become a Reagan in the next few months, my victory will be complete.

152 I'll vote for Sarah, I don't see anyone saying things that I believe except maybe Rush but he's got a gig.

153 Expect more and more liberal fantasizing about Obama getting assassinated.  That's their one hope now:  that someone who can plausibly be called conservative (i.e. anyone to the right of Bill Ayers) can plausibly be accused of assassinating him.  Alive, Obama is a disaster, but as a martyr he's pure diamond-studded platinum.  If the liberals can just get Obama killed in office, they'll be able to use his memory to ram through just about anything they want, and beat conservatives over the head with it for decades to come.

Happily, just about all American conservatives seem to understand this, because the ONLY things I've heard about Obama's assassination are thinly-concealed wishful thinking on lefty sites.

154 Posted by: Monty at November 23, 2009 02:05 PM (4Pleu)

The sickening part is that the public schools leave kids with the impression that Wilson and FDR were two of our greatest 4 Presidents (with Washington and Lincoln).

It already has a zip code.

And gravity.

156 Over the weekend, one of my most succinct friends, explained what he thought was happening.  Mind you, he was/is one of BO's biggest fans.  However, he now blames the problems on the fact that "on one in the administration has ever run anything.", that there is "no one in the administration with experience, in real time, in the real world, running a business of any kind"  He basically said "we are living in a theoretical world right now", in other worlds, "this is precisely what happens when you have a bunch of academics running the place without a single real world experience pragmatist in sight"  He made a great case for how "academics are just perennial students".  How they never leave "the system"  How, for the most part, they are not students who could not afford a college education and had to work two jobs to have it.  Instead he says they are the middle and uper class "kids" whose parent paid outright for the education and who didn't have to lift a finger to work for anything.  He says they simply went on job interviews, were terrified of the process of being judged and simply enrolled in more education until the reached their PHD and secured their place in academia.  He said all they have to do is a little research, write a few books, get a few grants and teach a couple of classes in exchange for an exorbitant salary and health benefits second only to the government.   Anyway, he said this lack of legitimate, real world experience of anyone in the administration and tthe fact that they seem to be wanting to live in a fantasy instead of the reality before them is scaring him.  But, he still doesn't blame BO, he blames "everyone around him".  When another friend said "but he picked everyone around him so therefore it is his responsibility" this friend said "not really, he must be having a tough time".  Was funny to watch everyone jsut slowly walk away from this guy.  He really slowly murdered what started out as a good party.

157 The article goes out of its way to try and make The Precedent look like just another US Chief Executive, maybe a weak one like Carter, but other than that, nothing different. This is so far from the truth that it boggles the mind. The Precedent is the only actual America-hater who has ever occupied the White House. The Precedent is HAPPY to see the US made a mockery of and lose power. This is his intention and has been so from the very start.

This reminds me of those arguing The Precedent's strategy on Afghanistan, failing to realize that the dithering IS the strategy - everything is built around the Traitor-in-Chief's continued ability to dither and bleed our troops. The truth of the situation is just too much for many to acknowledge.

The paper's musings about how The Precedent will change in order to help America is almost laughable. Any idiot could have predicted all of this, which is why this idiot is doing it.

It will be either The Precedent or the US. A choice must be made, because both will not emerge from the Indonesian imbecile's tenure intact. As the US hasn't the guts or brains to do what's necessary (as was so evident in the screeches against the legitimate Constitutional eligibility problems being heard in court) it seems that secession and a breakup of the US into marxist nightmare and Constitutional union is going to be the best we can hope for.

Stephen Ambrose made a pretty good case that none of that really mattered, and in most cases it was actually beneficial in getting the major projects of the day completed.

172 I really can't get too exercised; ever since I started school in 1965, the world has been ending, population explosion, war with USSR, ozone layer, ice age, greenhouse effect, acid rain, anarchy, dirty damn hippies, various plagues, pollution that made Indians cry, no bald eagles or alligators, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, storm of 1993, Katrina, Future Shock, every hurricane ever like Andrew, SARS AIDS Ebola, the deadly Obesity Epidemic--erally, the world has been ending since JFK got mad at the Cubans as far as I know, and I don't even remember that.  I do remember the USSR swallowing up various countries and Viet Nam and stuff, which was also the world ending.  Plus Watergate, the Hostages, Ronald Reagan starting WW III every 2 minutes, and so on.  I am weary unto death of the world ending and all of humanity being reduced to stumbling wrecks grubbing for turnips amongst radioactive ruins while fending off plague victims.  I simply can't do it any more.

Ummm, yea.  That's what the die hard Nazis/Commies said about Hitler/Stalin too.  "Oh, if Hitler/Stalin had only known about all those death camps he would have done something about it!  His inner circle kept him in a bubble!"

There were dumbasses who believed that BS even after they were sent to a gulag or death camp.  Some people will cling to the flimsiest fiction if it means they don't have to admit they were mistaken.

Nights, weekends, whatever it takes.""No, no, I don't think that's going to do it. These reports you handed in, it's almost as if you have no business training at all. I don't know what this is supposed to be.""Well, I'm just trying to get ahead.""I'm sorry, there's just no way that we can keep you on.""I don't even really work here.""That's what makes this so difficult."Point of information- is the correct usage "President Milli" or is it "President Vanilli"?

181 Gotta hand it to Team McCain, they nailed this one.

They nailed what? Team McShame didn't understand the threat America would be under with the Ineligible Imbecile from Indonesia occupying the Oval Office. The rest of us knew that this was what we were headed towards, but McShame kept acting as if the US would be just fine and dandy with the America-hater running our Executive branch.

182 Arguably, if he had acted more forcefully, the Civil War might have been avoided

The Civil War was inevitable from the time of the "Nullification Crisis" when Andrew Jackson threaten to invade SC over tariffs.  You may even say it was inevitable from the time the Constitution was written w/o specifying who determined what the Constitution meant and then when Adams and Marshall conspired to create the case that transferred that power to the federal government.

Google or Bing up the "peace commission" and its outcome.

Actually I would nominate FDR as the worse president with Lincoln a close second.  Carter was too incompetent to gather much in the way of bad for the country.

Ditto.  I was at a healthcare protest in an urban area last Friday and the icy stares from black passersby were unmistakeable.  I heard a black guy on his cellphone, calling the cops.  Also, 20-something white kids are still heavily invested (at least in socialism) too.  A street vendor dished out food and made a constant stream of snide remarks about "the teabaggers being out in force."

A young woman standing near me, close to the street, was holding up a small sign about stopping the healthcare takeover and a young (white) bicycle messenger made a grab for it.  There was a definite "us" against "them" vibe going on.

186 A street vendor dished out food and made a constant stream of snide remarks about "the teabaggers being out in force."

People need to start pushing the idea that if we're teabaggers, libs and Obama are the teabagees (ie, the ones with our junk in their mouth).  That'll shut down the whole meme faster than you can say "Anderson Cooper".

187 The world's leaders have taken Obama's measure, found him to be too big for his britches, and are preparing to cut him down to size.

188

"I believe there is a very carter-esque item on Obama's agenda.

you know how he wants to close the detention center at Gitmo, right?

I believe it's because he wants to give the base, the territory, everything- back to Cuba"

As someone serving in a Caribbean nation that rhymes with "Tuba" I would not at all be surprised if this poor excuse for a CinC decides to pull a Jimmy out of his hat and give GTMO to Cuba.  Not surprised in the least.

Wha-?

Yeah, I'm an old white guy, how'd you guess...?

193 I'm waiting for him to give Gitmo back to Cuba. To catch up with Carter he needs to give something away. I'm guessing Gitmo but maybe Guam to some east asian country or perhaps the Virgin Islands to some virgins?

197 #191

The Civil War was only made inevitable when they fired on Ft Sumter.  There was no reason that the South could not have accepted a partial defeat on the extension issue and not gone to war. In Reconstruction, after losing the war they managed to negate most of the social and political gains of the blacks. They could have done the same without fighting the war.

The difficulty was that slavery was never only a economic issue, but a social one and cultural one as well.
