ACLU Ad Compares Obama to Bush 43
— Gabriel Malor

In today's NYTimes, the aging civil rights organization complains that Obama is just Bush all over again. Click the pic to go to the full ad (PDF):

This is the pushback I expected after White House staffers started leaking that Obama would flip flop on the New York 9/11 trials and throw Holder under the bus.

Will the whimpering of the ACLU change Obama's mind? Does it matter? Congress isn't going to let the President bring terrorists here for trial anyways. This was money down the toilet. I approve this message.

To the left, it's all about the left, not what is best for this nation.

The terrorists should be tried by military tribunal.  This is what this nation wants.  If Obama can open his eyes past his far-left whiner base, and do the right thing - then good for him.  The short history of Obma tells us he will fall back to his far-left position.

9 Interesting, so this is one break in the leftist wall.

What about the leftist bureacracy that rebelled against Bush? Will we see that happen also?

In fairness to the ACLU, they have generally been one of precious few parts of the leftist alliance that actually puts some value in their stated positions, instead of just the raw acquisition of power.

16 And here I simply presumed it was because the ACLU has been thoroughly infiltrated by arabs and muslims supported by petro-dollars (you know those funny little make believe dollars that are actually worth as much as the real thing). It was a dark day in American history when the arabs figured out this fact.

36 I don't believe he's doing things like President Bush consciously. I think he's afraid to change anything. The things he has tried to change, like trying terrorists in civilian court or closing Gitmo have been disasters for him. He doesn't know what he's doing, so rather than trying to change something and watch it blow up in his face again, he's leaving it alone. The result is the continuation of the Bush policies. Now if only he'd back peddle on health "reform" and "stimulus".

"Gadahn grew up on a goat farm in Riverside County, California, and converted to Islam at a mosque in nearby Orange County."

I'd laugh my ass off if he got a little too tipsy at some big social event and the cameras caught him making an ass out himself.  Better yet, saying something so damaging that no amount of apologies to the American people would help.

Iran Ayatollah issued fatwa directing that all "goat girlfriends" must be killed andnot sold to locals, but rather, must be sold only to the neighboring villages for consumption.  Maybe Adam sold the used goats to neighbors??

47 A bit OT, but I have to point this out.  At Breitbart, in an article on the Greek crisis,

"Workers spent the night boarding up broken shop windows and painting over graffiti in Athens after Friday's protests but Papandreou saved his condemnation for financial market speculators, pledging to lead any EU efforts to rein them in.  It is not just unfair, it is also undemocratic that while the government is putting in a superhuman effort, a few kids in New York and elsewhere, seated in front of their computers, undermine it," he told the Kosmos Tou Ependyti newspaper."

And by a few kids, we of course mean the Juice.  Amazing.  We are to blame for the Grecians and their unsustainable lifestyle.  The Germans, OTOH, are telling them to get off their fat asses and work like, well, Germans.

smoke and mirrors. cover for odeathcare. cloward/piven. alinsky.

That's one of the two most likely explanations.

I think he's afraid to change anything. The things he has tried to change, like trying terrorists in civilian court or closing Gitmo have been disasters for him. He doesn't know what he's doing, so rather than trying to change something and watch it blow up in his face again, he's leaving it alone.

That's the other most likely explanation.

If you want to really "grok" Barack Hussein Obama, then you have to read Cashill's work on the authorship question.

When you see the pieces that we know Barry wrote, without any help from William Ayers or Jon Favreau or David Axelrod, then it immediately becomes abundantly clear that Barry doesn't have an IQ much higher than 110 or 115.

The poor guy [to the extent that you can force yourself to feel any sympathy for him] is in way, way, way over his head - by a standard deviation or two - and he really doesn't have any clue what he's doing as regards the day-to-day minutae of making the trains run on time.

Which I guess we should all be thankful for - a Barry Soetoro with an IQ of 140+ would have been a very formidable opponent.

PS: And don't discount the possibility of substance abuse problems - if the Kenyan really is his biological father, then Barry could have inherited a terrible addiction gene from him, and might be drinking himself to sleep in the White House every night.

PPS: Along those lines, did you guys see the pictures of Jay-Z and Beyonce in the top-secret "Situation Room"?

This stuff is making the Obama White House look like an episode of "Soul Train" or "Sanford and Son".

rickin italics. Clearly, you have not achieved optimum cynicism.  In order to grasp at the fear factor, one must assume o does not harbor malicious intent towards all things American.
While his iq is clearly average, his inner circle has a plan to implement managed destruction of the American economy.  And, short of pitchforks on the mall, one could easily assume o does not care how he is perceived as long as his objectives are being met.  The mid-term elections merely require increasing the rate of destruction which, in turn, makes the implementation more exposed, but also provides the appearance of disjointed inexperience...

True, but you have to thank the Good Lord Himself that Barry is such an idiot [and that most of the rest of the gang can't shoot straight, either].

What is it that the yarmulke-heads say in Israel?

"Thank God that we have the Muslims for our enemies" - or something to that effect?

52 A foreigner who directs an attack on our country from foreign soil does not have any rights under the US Constitution. I challenge the ACLU to find the clause!  Furthermore a foreigner who enters this country under false pretenses (that is illegally) also has no rights under the constitution.

The ACLU has morphed into something that I believe wants to help BHO destroy this country.  Damn the ACLU.
