3 Good Bye,

Nothing to see here.  It's just the bizarroworld form treatment that they gave Bush the last eight years.  Bush could do nothing right and bad news was all due to his incompetence.  Good news could in no was be attributable to his leadership, otherwise it was verboten to speak of.

Hello.

4 Obama kept talking about "My Healthcare Bill" but he never produced one himself.  So whatever crap sammich comes out of this will be on him. 

Libs everywhere across the spectrum seem to be ragging on Teh O - Redstate has quite a few posts up with disgruntled quotes from HuffPo, Kos and the obligatory Olbermann.  He's getting hammered from left and right, and no wonder he is heading to Copenhagen - he can get some adulation and make himself feel spiffy.

5 Isn't this the same thing they did with Bush? One day he was a diabolical madman, the next a colossal idiot.

6 OK... it's officially time to run screaming naked down the street. Back in a few...

7 I blame Bush.

8

Look, it's just that I'm so much smarter than everyone else that sometimes I pretend to screw up so other people think they have a chance.  Let me be clear, they don't.  If they did, people would die and the economy would collapse.

9 If he doesn't get any love in Copenhagen I'm going to laugh with unadulterated glee.

10 I never got the Evil Genius/Imbecile duality thing with Bush.  Prolly cuz it was incoherent ;->.

11 Runningrn, of course! The Messiah can do no wrong!

12 Obama would fuck up a game of tiddlywinks.

13 What part in the series is this? When you've lost Gleen...

14 For Obama, Copenhagen is a vehicle to recover his negatives. He will commit the United States to paying a few hundred billion to "underdeveloped countries". Supporting a payout from US funds will make those who gave him the Nobel happy,and so, he will get rave reviews from those who are going to put money in their own pockets. The story: "Obama has shown why his Nobel prize is so deserved". Makes everyone happy!

15 What part in the series is this? When you've lost Gleen...

This is the scene where you wind up with Camile Paglia and Paul Krugman barricaded and starving in a room all alone holding off the vast forces of evil armed with a couple of sporks

16 Greenwald may be fed up but I'll bet Chucky Johnson is still down on his knees for reception of the first member.

17 Greenwald soured on Obama for the same reason Sullivan did - he realized Obama doesn't intend to go back on his opposition to same sex marriage.

18

I doubt that the current bill is what Obama wanted in the first place -- otherwise he would have tried to water down the House version.

I think it's more like the guy who attempts to stick it in places that he never discussed with the girl he's with.  The House was pretty easy - they only balked when he tried to stick it in the abortion funding hole.  But the Senate has been squealing nearly every time he's tried a different angle, and apparently only goes for straight missionary-style individual mandates.

I haven't read Camille for a while; is she still in the tank for Il Douche?  Having Greenwald turn on you in less than a year is pretty impressive.  Bathtub Boy doesn't count because he is incapable of thinking and just does what Kos tells him to...

20 President Bush commited 15 billion to the African AIDS relief.

Pres'Ent Toonces minions commited 100 billion to fight climate change.


Which one do you think is going to save more lives, and have an actual impact on the world?

21 Present!

22

Even though I live in Brazil I hate it when traitors to the party attack President Obama. Good day to you, sir.

23 And thus, the fifth stage of grief (acceptance) begins.

24 I think they all are realizing that the last ferry left the island, sure we'll go the beach with a Senator, ooh we've made a wrong turn, yikes! No swimmies!

25

Heh!  And you just know that none of the 100 billion to fight climate change will be going to mosquito netting (and certainly not DDT).

Posted by: runningrn at December 17, 2009 07:57 PM (vEclT)

Sure it will, if by mosquito netting you really mean lavish parties for the Goreacle, and by DDT you really mean a couple of hundred private jets.

26 He is not who we thought he was...

27 11 dimensional chess? Never heard of it.

28 Last time I read anything by Paglia she was still making excuses for B. Hussein.

29

Of course The Obizzle is both simultaneously all-powerful and totally powerless.  It's just the repeat of Bush, who was simultaneously the biggest booger-eating dipshit the world had ever known and the unbelievably cunning leader of an imperialistic cabal, capable of planning diabolical terror attacks against the US while he was governor of Texas.

Cognitive whiplash is nothing among the Left.

30 Cognitive whiplash is nothing among the Left.

That's because only feelings matter.

31 Isn't this the same thing they did with Bush? One day he was a diabolical madman, the next a colossal idiot.

Posted by: Mr. Pink at December 17, 2009 07:39 PM (V/EYZ)

The difference is that Greenwald is saying that it's not Obama's critics who are doing the "genius yesterday, idiot today" thing, it's Obama's inner circle.

What they did to Bush wasn't one day and then the next.  Every day he was characterized by the Left as both a diabolical genius and a colossal idiot.

32 AGW is a hoax? Obama is an empty suit? Knock me over with a feather...

33 No spiffy gift DVD sets for you this year Glenn. No biggie. They'd probably be the wrong format.

34 41 I think Cheney was the one who was evil but competent.Bush was eevil but stupid and needed Darth Cheney to carry out his evil plans.

35 Obama's like the Captain in Stripes.  Stupid, but too arrogant to realize it.

36 Human nature is inherently conflicted. We have paradoxical, contrary desires, and attempting to achieve them will invariably result in an imperfect world. We wish for both adventure and security, two goals that are inherently in conflict. The result will always be a degree of disappointment. That is the human condition. St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas would recognize this as a result of The Fall, the Biblical fall of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden. They were cast out of Eden, and we are living in a world that is no longer perfect. It is subject to the curse of God. This requires man to labor for his food and suffer a life on a planet afflicted with flaws such as pestilence, earthquake and, ultimately, death. Barack Obama and other Leftists reject this worldview. They believe that we can get back to Eden or create Heaven here on earth. We can, via our own efforts, achieve this not through prayer, patience, hope and faith but through government. The State will be our Lord and Saviour. The human condition, with its contradictory wishes seeks satisfaction where it can never find it. Here on earth, here and now with material goods. These are seen as realistic by those who reject a Biblical worldview. T hey scoff at notions such as the Bible, but they are also scoffing at the Greek philosophers such as Plato who recognized the temporary nature of the material world. That car that you look to for joy will rust, and your body will age. The second law of thermodynamics is in play ever since the fall of man in the Garden. Entropy is a law: order becomes disorder; things wear out, they fade. There is no hope in the temporary. When you seek peace and satisfaction in temporary objects, you will never have satisfaction, merely temporary emotional highs (and lows). George Harrison sang "All Things Must Pass" and as far as this world goes, the former Beatle was correct. The Rolling Stones sang "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Were they right? Can we have no satisfaction in this life? I find that we can be satisfied with good things, those intangible things such as family, love, justice and faith are good. The idea that the material world is inherently evil or that it is an illusion is tied to a school of thought called Gnosticism. The Apostle Paul refutes the Gnostic heresy in his Epistles. Hindus say that the world is "maya" (an illusion) ,but besides a few gurus, the majority still strive for academic success and material wealth. Why? If life is an illusion, then why work so hard? Why study so diligently? If we recognize that the world as it is has good things but it is a fallen world and not the ultimate good, it leads us to what can best be described as a conservative point of view. Conservative thinkers recognize the simple fact that we cannot eradicate all the problems of this life. We cannot make the world heaven on earth (what Eric Voegelin called the impulse to "Immanenitize the Eschaton"- use that phrase to impress and stupefy your Leftist pals the next time they want extol the glories of state run health care, media, economy etc.) There are things that we can do to conserve the world as we have received it, not only conserve forests and beaches but culture and society. We are the heirs of Western Civilization. Christians, not Muslims, eradicated slavery. Atheism and materialism have no ethical imperative to end the institution of slavery. Taken on a purely cost/benefit analysis, slavery profited the majority and harmed the minority. It was devout Christians like William Wilberforce in Great Britain and Abraham Lincoln in the U.S. who ended slavery, an evil which still exists in Muslim-controlled countries like Sudan. If humans are merely a cosmic accident, there is no God, so there is no notion of human dignity as a result of man being made in the image of God. People like Mr. Obama bow down to Hirohito's son and bow deeply before the Muslim Saudi Prince because they do not believe that the United States is anything special. They are biased against the West and against Christian culture. Christian culture gave us the institution of marriage between one man and one woman. Barack Obama campaigned saying that he was opposed to "gay" marriage but then announced that homosexual relationships are a "moral good" and must be promoted by the state as such. This is contradictory and a paradox. Either Mr. Obama is a liar, or he has wishes that are in an impossible conflict. Mr. Obama wants "immigration reform" which is liberal speak for "amnesty," but we cannot simultaneously have open borders and a welfare state. No nation, even the USA, can invite in the world's poor and supply all the world's needs. Somebody must pay for it. The government does not create wealth; it siphons wealth from one group and gives it to another. Citizens struggling to make ends meet are tired of their hard-earned money being taken from them and given to illegals, many of whom hate this country and all that it stands for. Like Cesar Chavez, conservatives believe in legal immigration and that it is a fair system for the millions who dream of coming to this country. Mr Obama, however, believes in government. He is a man of enormous faith, faith in his own greatness and the majesty of the state. Obama believes that we can achieve heaven on earth by his wisdom and through the force of governmental power.

37 This is the scene where you wind up with Camile Paglia and Paul Krugman barricaded and starving in a room all alone holding off the vast forces of evil armed with a couple of sporks


My money is on Krugman turning on Camille, figuring that he can distract the evil ones with her dead body while he escapes to the halcyon land of soy milk and Honey Bunches of Oats.

But Paglia guts him with her spork and lulls the mob into sleep by expounding on the close cultural relationship between Global Warming, the aesthetics of the Form 1040EZ and Chuck Berry's "My Ding-A-Ling".

38 Check out this "Gold rated" Carbon Offset scam:

Darfur LNG stove scam

Its actually going to cause a net increase in atmospheric carbon by having people switch from wood cooking to LPG. Wood is in the current era carbon loop, LPG isn't. The steel to make these new stoves and gas tanks required how much non-current era loop carbon to manufacture? The gasoline/diesel fuel needed to transport those tanks wasn't in the current era carbon loop either.

Its a freaking joke.

39 Football in 3 minutes Morons!

40 For Obama, Copenhagen is an absolute winner, an easy vehicle to blow away his negatives. He will commit the United States to giving hundreds of billions to "underdeveloped countries". Thus, this gravy-boat payout from US funds will make those who gave him the Nobel happy, and as a result, he will get rave reviews from the Euros and others who are going to put the money in their own pockets. The story: "Obama has shown why his Nobel prize is so deserved". This makes everyone happy, except me!

41 The behavior Greenwald describes in those last two sentences is very characteristic of a narcissist's groupies. Their idol simply can do no wrong. Failures are ALWAYS someone else's fault.

To be brutally frank, there's also a racial component in this thinking. A substantial percentage of Americans believe that it's wrong to hold blacks--especially black men--to the same standards that they hold whites.

These same Americans elected Obama as an act of charity and expiation. They will never hold him responsible for his blunders, because he's one of the perpetually disadvantaged. Slack must be cut. Allowances must be made. Second, third, fourth, fifth, five hundredth, five thousandth chances must be given.

42 When in his life did Obozo accomplish anything tangible besides acquiring impressive titles?  Why would any rational person expect him to suddenly start accomplishing anything tangible now?

43 o is like a hick idiot who won a (rigged) lottery. he'll go along basking in the attention as long as these dumb bastards keep calling him a god and carrying him on a throne. it would be amusing to watch but these jerks are intent on destroying this country. it is madness. the whole o debacle, from the beginning is a lesson in mob madness.

44 Last time I read anything by Paglia she was still making excuses for B. Hussein.


Typical Paglia column in Slate:

Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! We need to give Obama a chance. Britney Spears is the modern Aphrodite. Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! We need to give Obama a chance. Obama sucks! Feminists hate me because I can think and reason like a man. Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! Obama sucks! We need to give Obama a chance.

45 Football time. I bid yiz a dew.

46 One of the things I've noticed about narcissists in my (informal) study of them over the past few years is that they tend to build great castles in the air, with no foundation under them.  In a position of power, such as President of the U.S., they seem to expect others (in this case, Congress) to build the foundations for them.  It will be interesting to see what happens when some of these people get tired of covering and taking the fall for Obama.

47 I'm going to be traveling for the next 4-hours, so in honor of King Sockpuppet, feel free to sock me.

48 "Failures are ALWAYS someone else's fault."

What's new?  HE has always been protected since Day 1.  HE can do no wrong.  HE can commit no error!  HE is the Obamassiah!  Others may fail.  Obama cannot fail!

49 Supporting a payout from US funds will make those who gave him the Nobel happy,and so, he will get rave reviews from those who are going to put money in their own pockets.

The story: "Obama has shown why his Nobel prize is so deserved". Makes everyone happy!

Posted by: Peter at December 17, 2009 07:47 PM (eO9eZ)

So the Nobelites gave Obama a prize and some cash. Because of that, Obama is going to give a large sum of money to the friends of the Nobelites.

Isn't that what we used to call bribery?

50 Umm, about that stuck sockpuppet...I blame Bush.

I choose a damn good ghost writer.

52 11-dimensional chess? This is the same guy who couldn't offer but one substantive piece of legislation in the Illinois Senate? The guy who voted present 130 times? The same dumbass who has been looking for his birth certificate for 40 years and still can't find it? The guy's whose subcommittee in the U.S. Senate never met? The guy who got the willies and couldn't complete his book so he turned over his notes to an American terrorist to finish? Oh, yeah! Play on, Barry Karpovski, you grandmaster you!

53 I think the liberals in our country really need to wake up and see that Pres. Obama is a political opportunist not the great liberal ideology they all thought they were getting. They wanted someone, who with a sizable majority in congress would just rush things through with little concern for public opinion or the minority. Make no mistake he is a socialist but he loves himself more then his followers idiotic socialist utopian views.  I guess they will just have to settle for a B + standard bearer.

54

And don't forget he was doing the secret bidding of his Christianist, Saudi, Zionist, Neo-NAZI overlords.

55 they tend to build great castles in the air

Narcissists never do any of the necessary heavy lifting themselves.  They're perfectly willing to take credit for a groupie's work though, and oddly enough the groupies have no problem with that as long as they're allowed to continue hanging around.

Narcissists can be incredible manipulators of people.

56 Why would any rational person expect him to suddenly start accomplishing anything tangible now? Posted by: Cicero

Rational? So you're not talking about his Democrat base then?

57 64 "I think the liberals in our country really need to wake up and see that Pres. Obama is a political opportunist not the great liberal ideology they all thought they were getting. They wanted someone, who with a sizable majority in congress would just rush things through with little concern for public opinion or the minority."

There are honest liberals out there, as much as I disagree with them (like 100 percent). But the system, such as it is, favors people far worse than them.

I wish the liberals in our country would wake up and realize that their devotion to "fixing" things through government is an open invitation for grifters to come in and lie to them.

I wish they would realize that by inviting "leaders" to rush things through without concern for opinion, they are inviting the unscrupulous, the corrupt, the self-seeking, the evildoers who care only for political power.

I wish they would consider (for even once) that someone who tells them what they want to hear might in fact be lying to them.

I wish the media would realize that by choosing a side and blindly sheltering it from criticism, they aid and abet some of the most despicable people in our nation, and that we ALL suffer for it.

58 Make no mistake he is a socialist but he loves himself more then his followers idiotic socialist utopian views.

I think he sees the left as a way to concentrate power rather than as a genuine ideological imperative.  Narcissists don't give a shit about others beyond whatever use they can wring out of them before discarding them. 

59 I have noticed something strange, the right is against Obama on healthcare, the left is now turning, for different reasons of course and yet the media is still with Obama.

60 It is so satisfying to see all these Progressives finally figuring out now what was obvious to Conservatives last year.

61

70 I have noticed something strange, the right is against Obama on healthcare, the left is now turning, for different reasons of course and yet the media is still with Obama.

Give us a few days we are all over it - gona sell lots of add spots

62

The reason the lefties aren't calling for Greenwald's gizzard is that they know that Obama is being graded on the curve, ergo...

Good solid B+

63 Sigh.  Watching Bill O getting all pissy with Laura Ingraham and anyone and everyone who's criticized him for his soft ball approach to The Won, tells me all I need to know.  Oh.  Bill O attended the WH party. 

Hey, Bill.  Shuffle on over to MSNBC or CNN with Sheppie and Geraldo. 

Bye.

64 What they did to Bush wasn't one day and then the next.  Every day he was characterized by the Left as both a diabolical genius and a colossal idiot.

Actually, the leftards have an escape hatch for this. When confronted with the obvious schizophrenia, they will retreat to the trope of yes, Bush is an idiot, but he is controlled by diabolical genius puppetmasters such as Dick Cheney, Haliburton, Big Oil, Wall St., etc.

65 I think Glen Greenwald is one of the most bold and courageous political writers in the world today.

66 You said it Gord. Not to mention a sex symbol. I don't know why people like to tear him down.

67 no Liberal worth their small mind, would ever criticize Obama. They will all fall on their swords for him. Every. Single. Time.  See Bill Clinton's 8 years. Some really and truely died for him.  Sometimes not willingly.

68 Jealousy, Glengarry. Pure Jealousy.

69 So, very few years there's a big meet up at Christmas time in Copenhagen to take over the world to save it.
And now our congress is voting on Christmas Eve to improve health care for Americans and everybody that can cross our border.  It's free! Why not?

It is pretty obvious that a new religion is trying to be established.  The winter solstice was a pagan holiday where they worshiped and made sacrifices to the sun, moon, stars, animals, mother earth, and assorted gods.  A Christian holiday replaced the pagan holiday, where we worship one God and no animals and no planets.
 
So now we revert to worshiping the planets, the earth, animals, and assorted gods again.  Is that what we call progressive?

70 No doubt its been mentioned already but this is quite similar to the left's claims, variously trotted out over time depending on the situation, that former President GW Bush was a) dumb as a rock, so stoopid he cant even chew a pretzle correctly Ha Ha Ha arent we funny to b) the most calculating and Machieavellian operator in human history, who could and did plan the 9/11 attacks from his office at Texas Rangers spring training facility, years before he stole the Presidency.

71 All I know is, Glen Greenwald has been right any time I read him.

72 The supreme goal is to shield him from all blame, boy.

73 This is an eerie blast from the past, because I remember the EXACT SAME talking points coming up in the Carter Administration, in almost EXACTLY the same words: A sort of "OMG, it is so hard to be president, it is too much for one man to  do." hand-wringing

It magically disappeared when Reagan got elected, and stayed out of sight thru Bush, Clinton, and Bush II

I mean, this is totally freaky. I am being transported back to the late '70s just hearing this "the country is ungovernable" argument.

Am I the only one that remembers this?

74 cur 55: You forgot the constant self-credentialling. "As an Obama voter, Obama sucks; as a person who said 'Obama sucks' last week, we need to give Obama a chance; did I mention I'm a lesbian? as a lesbian, my God, I can't stand the gays around here"

75 Which is why I call her Azza Paglia.

76 Sweet Lou, 85, I do however remember George W Bush constantly complaining about what hard work it was to be President in the first debate with Kerry.

Kerry got a bump from Bush's wretched performance. Fortunately, Kerry had dropped such mammoth turds of his own ("global test", anyone?) that Bush's missteps were quickly forgotten.

77 BARACK OBAMA the appologists ninnibum nincome poop

78 Glen Greenwald is a racist.

79 The behavior Greenwald describes in those last two sentences is very characteristic of a narcissist's groupies. Their idol simply can do no wrong. Failures are ALWAYS someone else's fault.

I can't wait till CJ and Solitary Voice go to war with Greenwald for not following the True Creed, telling him that he's not a loyal lefty.

CJ will start digging for the six degrees of guilt and andi will snark that you just can't really trust those jooooos.

80 Please do not disparage B-Owan. He is our only hope.

81 This is the same exact thing that the leftists did with Bush, only in reverse. They would alternatively portray Bush either as an evil super-genius bent on conquering the world, or as a bumbling idiot who only did what Cheney and Rove told him to. Anything and everything to perpetuate the myths that they worked so hard to spin about him. Now they are doing the exact same thing with Obama, only in reverse. This is typical leftist bullshit really. What you have to understand about the left is that they are intellectually bankrupt. The things that they want to believe in are so obviously broken and failed that they have to deliberately avoid looking at things rationally and honestly in order to hold on to that belief. They have to resort to interpreting everything in terms of emotions. Only through emotional evaluation can they pretend that up is down and hot is cold. Even the most willfully deluded person cannot ignore reality completely. The lefties FEEL a certain way about Obama, and will come up with whatever half-baked bullshit post-hoc rationalization they can in order to continue feeling that way about him and to beat back the onslaught of reality.

82
"The behavior Greenwald describes in those last two sentences is very characteristic of a narcissist's groupies. Their idol simply can do no wrong. Failures are ALWAYS someone else's fault."

More broadly, it's the behavior of an enabler: always finding an excuse, always deflecting blame, never forcing the person to face the consequences of his actions.

Obama has been surrounded by enablers all his life. This may well be the first time in his life that anyone has actually called him on his bullshit. Small wonder the guy thinks his shit doesn't stink.

83

Yeah, well, his International Fan Club is growing smaller by the day, almost as fast as his domestic club. He may make the climate clowns happy, but he may be crossing the point of no return domestically....

"The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds."

 

Quit stealing my best lines!

85

I want to fellate Obama.

Good day to you, sirs!

86 The same people who pushed ethanol and biofuels can never, ever admit that they were wrong. How can they, and Obama, expect us to be so stupid as to let them create even more rules? Obama's refusal to stop illegal immigrants from spreading swine flu, follow the money! These people do not really care about human life or the environment. They care about money and power. This is all hypocrisy. With the exposure of climategate and the worthy goals of thepetitionproject and others we, the American people, can thwart the criminal fraud that is the Copenhagen conference, Obama administration declarations of C02 as a "pollutant" and Cap and Tax legislation. Fans of thejimmyzshow.com know that Jimmy is exposing the hidden agenda behind much of this man-made global warming conference. The fact is that we must speak out before it is too late. Look at the incredible damage that NAFTA has caused because we trusted people like Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton. Even an existentialist like Albert Camus knew that Christians have an affirmative duty to speak out against the injustices being promoted in the name of "science" at conferences like Copenhagen: " ... What the world expects of Christians is that Christians should speak out, loud and clear, and that they should voice their condemnation in such a way that never a doubt, never the slightest doubt, could rise in the heart of the simplest man. That they should get away from abstraction and confront the blood-stained face history has taken on today.." http://elvisnixon.com/
