1 Yeah.  What he said.

2 But will everyone recognise the narcissism?

3 The problems are simple. It's like riding a bike! Oh, wait...

4 Two years into his hopefully four year term, it's apparent to anyone who's not a fucking idiot that Obama doesn't have a fucking clue what the fuck he's doing.

Hey!

5 This article "Obama Has Lost the World" is a must read.

http://tinyurl.com/23gra3q

6 Bush I was also considered quite evil at the time. It was only in retrospect, when the left started adopting (at least publicly) a neo-realist foreign policy plank, that Bush ceased to be evil.

7 Ace sums it up nicely **It's amusing to me how simple America's problems were when Democrats were out of power, looking to take over. We would just fix the economy. Snap! Fixed. Just cancel Bush's tax cuts for the rich and it would all be right as rain. We could just bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and convince the Iranians and North Koreans it was in their interest to give up the bomb; all we needed was a smart guy to speak the right words to these countries that Bush was too stupid to know.** It's like Mark Steyn says about multiculturalists, you don't actually have to know anything about other cultures to be one.

8 'Scrapheap' assumes that there is some salvagable material. I prefer 'Septic Tank of History.'

9 ace, your insufficient cynicism is showing.

Anyone who could look at then-candidate BOHICA's "accomplishments" and see someone with any competency at anything other than being a media-darling was willfully ignorant.

And the MFM is already trying to select our candidate- or at least choose who we don't select- for the primaries.  If the MFM has their way, we'll end up in one of three situations:

1) Mitt Romney
2) Mike Huckabee
3) Someone no one has ever heard of except die-hard policy dorks.

Now, I don't know that those situations will be enough to save the Presidency for President BOHICA, but they won't help.

10 luminescent incompetence - ace, I know I used to get on ya once in a while for your soc/lib views (still do but can't voice it any more, frickin websense,) but you know, every once in a while, you come up with something like that one.
And whack, straight away center, aaannnnd say goodbye.  Hammered and gone.

by the way,  I'll be borrowin' that one now and then.  Oh yeah.  You betcha.

11 Fixing the worlds problems are as simple as getting an Umbrella through a gate... oh wait.

12

I'd call it incandescent incompetence.  Luminosity has nothing to do with it.

Also, you forget the Repubs that lost:

Dole: out of touch.

McCain: Crazy and out of touch.

Palin: Crazy and stupid.

Also note that they add more adjectives the longer the Republican is in power...so Bush II and Regan got the brunt of it.  Dole the least of it because he was furthest from actually winning.

13 Two years into his hopefully four year term, it's apparent to anyone who's not a fucking idiot that Obama doesn't have a fucking clue what the fuck he's doing. Far from being the Mr. Fix It, he's Mr. Fuck It Up Worse That is: it's apparent to about 47% of the voters. The rest are as dense as always, fully capable of voting for O again, or for the next socialist con man. The 53% are the problem underlying all others.

14 Ace,

You writing is very prescient. Everything within me resonates with this entry I need nothing more for today.
 
I went to a dear friends house over the Christmas break (well, the first week of my two week break). The family and himself scrapbook and he has a 09 scrapbook and 10 scrapbook of Mr Obama himself.

He also has two magazines out front and center on the coffee table (Esquire) with Meechelle on one cover and the One on the other.

We have had heated debates over the last year and a half. But he is now asking more questions based on what is instead of what ought to be. I know the bloom may never fall off the rose in relation to the Bamster b/c of the apparent 'historicity' of a black prez and my friend being black (we've been over that plenty o' times), but the shine is fading.

15 Liberals run harder on this message of competency than conservatives do, partly because the media sells this for them so ably, but also because they need to make up more votes this way. Maybe 40% of the country is conservative, and so a conservative candidate has to convince just 10% more to get his 50%; but only about 20-25% of the country is liberal, so a liberal candidate has to sell a lot more people on the idea that it's not his ideas, his ideology, that really matters, but just his general competency. His intelligence, mostly, and judgment.

You never told us that word problems were going to be on the math quiz! Now we'll never get into a top-notch Ivy League school!

16 I can only hope that the public recognizes the con job from 2008 and they know who to blame...i.e., the MSM. oh wait, nope, because if they did, we would've gotten the 100/11 win in november.

17 You may be right but I'm still not convinced he doesn't know exactly what he's doing. That's not to say his policies aren't idiotic and down right dangerous but I've always believed this is exactly what he wanted, an overload of the system causing it to breakdown and be rebuilt in his far left dreams. He's a bitter, hateful little man filled with the rage of how unfair life has been for the black man and he's going to exact his pound of flesh.

18 Obama sold himself as a deity in the campaign, the media approved it and sold it as well.  His acceptance speech said that he was going to lower the seas, clean the earth and be a god.

It's only natural that everyone be disappointed when NONE of what he said came true because he's NOT a god and can't deliver fantasies.

History will smile on GWB and wipe it's ass with d'Ohbama.

19 Hey ace who are you fooling? We still portray Pelosi and Harry Reid as competent and smart and are even now hailing their congress as the bestest evah. You really think we are going to stop? Just imagine you are a Hilton daughter, and then take away any accountability or consequences, even the small ones like other people knowing your a whore. That's the MFM.

20 I second aquaviva's motion: The EurAsia Review's "Obama Has Lost The World" is a great read. And speaking of incandescence, should we just turn off the lights in the White House for a few years, save some energy?

21 Amen, Ace. I have always thought liberals idea of what is smart is extremely narrow. They don't think the ability to fix a car is smart, nor to start up and run a small business. They don't think keeping a church congregation together is smart nor is the ability to balance a variety of social mores. They don't think being a slapstick comedian takes smarts nor do they think the ability to be successful at sports. What they think is smart is talking and just one kind of talking: Ivy League. We conservatives should take advantage of this absurdly narrow view of intelligence more than we do. It's fairly easy to learn to talk this kind of talk ... just go to a liberal arts college for four years. Or, if that's out of the question, read the libs and note their vocab choices. Talk in abstractions more than concrete details. Use the passive voice a lot. And always, always, be snarky. Dumbasses.

22 AllenG - enjoyed your posts in the Mitch Daniels thread.  I tacked a couple towards the end.  I can't come around often so keep these guys on the up and up.
And then let me know how that works out for ya. 

23 Problems?

Never heard of them.

24

It's amusing to me how simple America's problems were when Democrats were out of power, looking to take over. We would just fix the economy. Snap! Fixed.

Magical thinking.

25 I hope that he is more than a footnote. He needs to be a marker on the timeline to show where the socialist madness started receding.

Because if it doesn't, we are in BIG trouble.

26 No matter how clueless and incompetent a leader Obama shows himself to be, it won't matter to the liberal media. They will contort their tiny, little minds into pretzels trying to portray him as a success for one reason. He is the first black president. Okay, half black but same thing. He CANNOT be viewed as a failure. We are now running into the same thing with our outgoing Governor Granholm, the FIRST WOMAN GOVERNOR of Michigan. So newspaper columnists are writing good-bye Jennie columns about how she has "done good things for Michigan" and how she is " a role model for girls". Seriously, it's enough to make any sane person puke. Of course, a lot of people in Michigan aren't buying this crap because, by most measurements of economics, Michigan is now dead last or tied with Mississippi. The only upside is that after one of these dumbass columns praising this democratic party failure runs, there are letters on the web and in the papers citing just how big a failure this union panderer is, female or not. Detroit, of course, is an even bigger shithole than Michigan. Oh, wait, Detroit is in Michigan. Never mind.

27 It's not so much that he is perceived smart, that persuaded many people to vote for him . But for the fact that he has the PC colored skin that the progs determined would forever show their tolerance and understanding of the minority plight.

One impossible mission at a time, thanks.  I've got to convince my own family (mom and brothers, my dad and wife are already on board) that National Democrats aren't just misguided- they're actually evil.  But mom and one brother are teachers, and the other brother is a librarian.

Never heard of him.

30 Actually, the Democrats are incompetent because they ran the government like a bunch of fucking Republicans.

But you watch Ace. When the Republicans rule and spend spend spend and cut taxes for rich people, Ace will be a vanguard blogger and as usual forget about all the grand "ideology" of responsible government just like he did for 8 testicle nibbling  years through the age of Bush.

One thing is sure as night and darkness: Ace is stupid: contract government spending through a recession!; Ace is a coward: nuke Pakistan; but mostly, Ace is just a hypocrite.

My wife is from Michigan.  It pains her to no end to have to admit that Detroit isn't some insurgency from Canada.

"The only good thing about Detroit is the Red Wings."  I hear that fairly frequently.  As a Dallas Stars fan, I wisely hold my tongue.

33 Dole: out of touch.

Slight edit:  Bob was just, you know, oooolllllllllldddddddddd.

So now let's pretend Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, John Dingell, Jerry Brown, etc. etc. are all 45. 

34 One thing is sure as night and darkness: Ace is stupid: contract government spending through a recession!; Ace is a coward: nuke Pakistan; but mostly, Ace is just a hypocrite.

Looks like someone's Wheaties got pissed in...

35 Wait, Ace, you mean the guy who confused the word "corps" with "corpse" more than once in a speech isn't brilliant? Huh. I guess the navy corpsemen figured that out.

36 Actually, the Democrats are incompetent because they ran the government like a bunch of fucking Republicans.

I may steal this line.  It explains so many things that are wrong with Democrat brains...

37 >>leonard maltin at December 27, 2010 06:08 PM Hi erg, how's the basement?

38 that linked article is good, love this line from a dirty foriegner. **The only countries who take Obama seriously, are the ones who have to. The leaders of Great Britain, Israel and Japan– who have tied their countries to an enduring alliance with America based on mutual interests and values, only to discover that the latest fellow to sit behind the Oval Office desk no longer shares those values and couldn’t give less of a damn about American interests.** yup, he hates the USA

39 It stands to reason, in order for Libs to get elected, they cannot and will not run on what they really believe. They cannot run on what they are, because as a matter of sound principle, very few would vote for them. They bait and switch, destroying the constitution and then blame it on the conservatives and RINO's. The MFM sells the crap sandwich as Cons doing, and the sheep, do recognize the crap sandwich but lay blame where it doesn't belong by keeping the same idiots in place, hoping things will change. Things do not change so they think somebody else will change it.

The problem and common denominator(s) have sat in the Senate and Congress for decades.

They run on what they know the majority of Americans to be, fiscally and socially conservative. They do gymnastics just to get into position to espouse the conservative meme's and then jump back into the sack with whomever is the jezebel of the day in Libtard world.

40

And it wasn't about ideology so much as competency.

Posted by Ace at 05:47 PM New Comments Thingy

Hmm...wasn't that the slogan of the Dukakis campaign?

41 Oh, and referring to military men as "corpses" has to be a bit of a downer to people who might be putting their lives on the line by going into a war zone. Just sayin'. Not cool.

42 Ace is stupid: contract government spending through a recession!

I will paraphrase a dramatic moment that fellow morons who follow Robert Jordan will recognize:

Cut spending or it will be cut.

The train it comes 'round the bend.

43 but mostly, Ace is just a hypocrite.

And I love this one, too.  "You considered new data, or thought about old data in a new way, and you changed your mind!  Hypocrite!!!"

This is the same thinking that says that anyone who says "Promiscuous extra-marital sex is bad for you" must be a hypocrite if they're not still celibate.  Or something.

Ah, a proficient speaker of Squeekhole, the official dialect of the MFM and the Administration, is here to enlighten us!

45 And don't forget dumb old Sarah Palin thinking that the Boston Tea Party happened in 1773. Oh, wait, it did happen in 1773. Never mind.

46 Ace; I am forced to disagree. If it were just stupidity or incompetence he would have got a few things right by shear accident. The laws of probability would still prevail.

Yet he has got EVERYTHING dreadfully wrong. It has to be by plan of him and his Marxist confederates. .

47 >>Two years into his hopefully four year term, it's apparent to anyone who's not a fucking idiot that Obama doesn't have a fucking clue what the fuck he's doing. Far from being the Mr. Fix It, he's Mr. Fuck It Up Worse.


That was fucking beautiful.

48 Ya gotta give Obama credit for one thing, Global Warming has pretty much stopped.

Also, the homeless problem seems much improved, judging from the lack of media coverage lately. Funny how that seems to happen every time there's a Dim in the White House . . .

49

@18: "History will smile on GWB and wipe it's ass with d'Ohbama."

Why? Bush only looks good by comparison.  Marburg is better than Ebola Zaire, but I wouldn't want to get either one.

50

Two years into his hopefully four year term, it's apparent to anyone who's not a fucking idiot that Obama doesn't have a fucking clue what the fuck he's doing. Far from being the Mr. Fix It, he's Mr. Fuck It Up Worse.

Tell that to Krauthammer.   The man never seems to miss an opportunity to tell us how smart the Won actually is.

And, yes, I know that CK will blast the Won on occasion, but in the same breath he will expound on the idiot's intelligence. 

Stupid should be painful.

51 So the public bought into Obama, to the tune of 53%, not on his ideology, mostly, but on just how super-duper smart he was. He would bring to the job not ideological positions, but general problem-solving tools.

What is truly sad (or frightening) is that even with the shield and filter of the MFM, Obama's lack of policy smarts was clearly evident throughout the campaign.  Everything from: his answer to Joe the Plumber, his gaffes such as "Israel is a constant sore" and "57 states", his explanation of profits and earnings, along with his "Fairness Doctrine" concerning capital gains taxes, etc, etc... it was all out there.

Make of that what you will, whether it be the disinterest of the majority of the voting public to actually research pols or the ineptitude of the McCain Campaign or a myriad of potential other reasons. 

52 Posted by: Vic at December 27, 2010 06:14 PM (M9Ie6)

Not really.  Considering how many times he's voted "Present" even as president, there just aren't enough decisions he's made for there to be any statistically relevant way to view his decision making.

53 "Obama's fall is all the more spectacular because of the way he sold himself." You mean that even with those styrofoam Greek columns, and talk about lowering the oceans, he really isn't a god? I feel so used.

54 Also, the homeless problem seems much improved, judging from the lack of media coverage lately.

It is.  Unfortunately, in this case, it's painful to everyone else...

56 I feel all "cheap and dirty", kind of like the girl who really believed it when she was told that he loved her in the back seat of a car. That Obama is a user and a cad.

57 Posted by: Circa (Insert Year Here) at December 27, 2010 06:17 PM (gDbxE)

This is really true.

Think about it: when Oil prices rose under GWB, it was the end of the world: "Oil prices continued their inexorable climb today..." but under President BOHICA, it's great news: "Oil prices led the way today..."

58 only about 20-25% of the country is liberal

I totally disagree with that statement. As evidence, I offer Obama's approval rating, which has been comfortably maintaining itself at over 40%. That's how much of  America is liberal.

59 >>gas prices Yes, that is a grim milestone. What, we don't use that term anymore? Remember when the mfm was insisting that they needed to take pictures of dead soldiers coming home from the war? Yea, neither do they.

60 Epic sock fail again!

Alas, Obama may be destined for the scrapheap of history, but his legacy of socialist meddling in our economy, if it is not reversed, will be "forget-me-nots" of Obama for a very long, long time. 

61

@39: "They run on what they know the majority of Americans to be, fiscally and socially conservative."

While a larger percentage of Americans say they are conservative as opposed to liberal, their actions and votes tend to show that they are either confused as to what it means to be conservative, or lying their asses off.

62 But I don't think the public is fooled.

Here is where we part ways.

It may not be that the public is "fooled", as in a majority, but a significant chunk is quite eager to be fooled, you might say they were "pre-fooled" and no real effort was required. These people you really can't get through to, you have to go over them.

Another big chunk could give a rat's ass, whether their reasons are valid or not, they're not interested or informed. Sadly, some of them vote.

We're just hoping that these groups aren't a majority next time around, that's all.

Dead on about President B. Shortpants Fuckup, though.

63 Well, Ace I think you confused me.

64

The new meme is that this country is ungovernable.  Probably because of those stupid, crazy, evil out of touch republicans.

Come on Ace, the playing field is never gonna be level.

65

I disagree with the premise that he'll be a mere footnote.

He'll go down as being the most inept, lazy, maniacal, sub-par, perfunctory, narcissistic, petulant embarrassment this country has ever unfortunately ever witnessed.

But he will be the first (and hopefully) last Affirmative Action President. So he's got that going for him.

66 #58  only about 20-25% of the country is liberal

I totally disagree with that statement. As evidence, I offer Obama's approval rating, which has been comfortably maintaining itself at over 40%. That's how much of  America is liberal.

Over 40% of people don't pay any federal taxes at all, so perhaps your 40%  is true.  We're nearing the end-game.

If so, in the end...you know the rest.

That has nothing to do with just being liberal.   You have to add in the stupid.

68 Think about it: when Oil prices rose under GWB, it was the end of the world: "Oil prices continued their inexorable climb today..." but under President BOHICA, it's great news: "Oil prices led the way today..."

Oh, it was more than that...it was a gigantic C-O-N-S-P-I-R-A-C-Y and we should tax those "windfall" 8% profits.  Have to stop this line of thought becasue it invariably gives me nosebleeds and painful rectal itch.

69

That has nothing to do with just being liberal.   You have to add in the stupid.

The two go hand-in-hand. 

And yes, there are too many people who believe in the mythical government that can do it all, and without any negative consequences to anybody (of course, as long as the "rich" "pay their fair share"). 

70

Far from being the Mr. Fix It, he's Mr. Fuck It Up Worse. All the calumnies thrown at Bush-- blundering incompetent idiot retard chimp -- apply fully to Obama

 

RACIST!!111111!!

71 Ace: "Just as the liberal media needs to pad a liberal candidate's vote-share by selling them on the non-ideological virtues of their candidates, so too do they need to deduct as many possible voters from a conservatives by selling them on the non-ideological negatives of those candidates."

Coincidentally, HotAir began a run-down of most read posts on its site during 2010. In the first batch, Morrissey linked to your "Tea Party guest (essentially) flummoxes Letterman" post where you, Ace, summarize the case of the Left and its making use of The Other. See Letterman Interviews Tea Party Leader& Grand Unified Theory of Everything Political.

Yours was an excellent post that is perfectly complementary to this one.

72 Honestly, the whole "out of power for a generation" business is exactly what the leftards said about the Republican party when Obama was elected.

I thought they were fooling themselves when they said it, and I think anyone who believes the same sort of thing now is also fooling themself.

The leftists will find a way to lie their way back into power again, it is what they do.  When the old lies fail, they dream up new ones.

The next Obama won't be an Obama, but an Anti-Obama, or at least that will be the platform they'll campaign on.

76 as much as like this post i think you forget the one thing obummer can definitely count on- the voting public. sure, we like to think of our fellow americans as 'awakening' or having just enough political insight to boot out the tards now ruining the country. dont count on it.

we're talking about people who are more interested in lady fucking gaga, people who actually believe what they see on ventura's conspiracy theory show. theyre pretty much the die-hard WWF fanboys of the political spectrum, and what's worse? they're fucking legion.

it's nice and cozy here in ace of spades wonderland (whoa....trippy thought) but out there it's a burning wasteland of total idiocy. look at those morons in cali, new york and mass....i mean....there has GOT to be a special place in hades for those voters...fucking john kerry man? yeah? lol i mean WTF kind of world does THAT guy shamble out of?

it's going to be tough going, so whats obvious to us isnt so with the other side. christ, i have friends who say some of the dumbest shit ive ever heard in my life, and it pains me because i thought them better. but keep ur heads up and keep swinging, obama still has a good chance this coming election.

78 Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at December 27, 2010 06:22 PM (c0A3e)

And there's no (realistic) way to fix that...

Think about it, even if we got a Conservative Congress and a Conservative President all of whom were willing to fall on their proverbial swords, the very next Congress/President would be liberal (based on promising to "lower" the taxes of "the poor" again) and would immediately re-institute the current progressive tax structure (or worse).

This is my best argument for the so-called "fair tax" (which isn't) and the corresponding Constitutional amendment which would be required to repeal the income tax.

79 Speaking of stuck on stupid:

Obama, Clinton 'most admired' in 2010

US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were the "most admired" man and woman in the United States in 2010, according to an annual Gallup poll.

Obama led the field of male candidates with 22 percent, followed by former presidents George W. Bush (five percent) and Bill Clinton (four percent).

80 Obama has a real problem: Americans are not very forgiving of the guy who promises everything and delivers nothing.  We call that guy an idiot, a faker or even a con man.

You know, Americans have ingrained cultural references against which to judge braggarts who can't deliver.  One that comes to mind is the story of Rumpelstiltskin, in which the miller's daughter gets caught in a huge boast and has to live up to it on pain of death.  She had a huge advantage over Obama, though: she had Rumplestiltskin to save her ass.  (We'll overlook the part where she screws the gnome out of his justly-deserved and well-earned payment.)

We also know how to deal with people whose boasts turn out to be empty.  We all know (even if W couldn't get the formulation right) the adage, "Fool me one, shame on you;  fool me twice, shame on me."

81
Poll question. Which one are you?

a) just a whiney internet activist who spends his days pissing in the wind.
b) a whiney, spoiled, loser nutjob
c) both

I think some people are just stupid, and don't have the sense God gave a pissant.   They just believe whatever is fed to them, and don't bother to look further.   If the Won tells them he's always been a blue dog Dem, or that he really cares about the middle class, and what he's doing will help them, they're too effing dense to see through it.   They don't even have the intellectual capacity to question it.

Like I said, even Krauthammer talks of how smart the Won is.   If CK was as intelligent as he thinks he is, he would know that smart should not be attributed to the Obamasiah.

Have you seen Carter's number lately? Embarassing.

Its not what they do, or what people think. Its how the media, the entertainment industry and historians portrays them over time. And they will all protect the first true radical president and the first black president. Bank on it.

JFK had one of the shortest and nearly disastrous presidencies ever. The New Deal was a flop. LBJ was a bully and a failure. Does it matter? No.

There wont be public school in America that will treat Obama as anything but a martyr for progress and race relations, a victim of racism, a man ahead of his times, a liberal who scarificed popularity for principle...

If we got to the point where the WP would go after the NYT for an obvious lie, or somebody OTHER THAN FOX would tag MSNBC or CNN for their BS, then we might develop some kind of "accountability" in the MFM.

btw, the AP needs your help.

Since they stopped using the word "Muslim" in all stories about Islamic-inspired terrorism and now go with  the generic phrase 'militant group,' the AP would also to switch 'terrorist' with another word.

A word that reflects the, um, root causes, and, um, addresses the socio-economics of the acts.

Instead of terrorist, maybe we should use disadvantaged third-worlder.

Perhaps Disgruntled World Citizen Who Possibly Has ADDHD.

103 Don't forget the bit about the seas no longer rising and the planet healing itself if we elected Obama, that's the important bit.

104 Well we see now that none of these problems (and fake problems, like global warming) were simple to solve, and only a simpleton cold have claimed otherwise, but now Obama and his still-loyal media defenders are telling us, retroactively, how difficult all these things are to change and fix.

Underlying these media statements seems to be the implication that things were so fucked up that Obama, like FDR, will need 4 terms in office to finally fix them. Fat fucking chance.

Also, since the Left portrays itself as infinitely smarter than anyone not on the Left how would it even be possible to create a problem too difficult for them to fix in no time flat? Their alleged infinite intelligence should be able to see through any of the problems a cretin like Bush could create. You don't go to the biggest idiot you know when you are trying to create a puzzle to stump someone, you go to someone whose brilliance will come up with a puzzle so subtle that people of ordinary intelligence can't unravel it.

The Left's ability to talk about (and cause) problems is infinitely large, but their ability to solve them infinitely small. When they finally get the absolute power they crave, their only historical "solution" to problems is to kill off the people they claim are causing them.

105 We could just get the oceans to stop rising, and just reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and just do this and just do that.

Well if you yahoos in flyover country would just start taking public transit...

Hmm, you know we could "fix" that...

106 Obama is what happens when you allow the same people who call in their votes to Dancing with the Stars to actually go and pull a lever.

111 #94  Has the sitting President ever not been the most admired man in the U.S. in such polls? And why? Because his is the one name most of those polled can recognize and provide for their response during the ad breaks of "American Idol".
Yup, you're right.  For some reason I thought Bush wasn't in any of the years of his last term, but I was wrong. 

Interesting about 2009 though.  Guess who statistically tied the Hildabest for the Most Admired Woman?

The problem is that about half the people who go to the polls are unrepentantly evil parasites. They have no problem at all with casting their votes in support of the collectivist conspiracy to take what is yours from you BY FORCE to keep for themselves or to give to others (minus a small finder's fee, natch) they deem to be more worthy of the fruits of your labor. Whether it's done by a thug with a gun in a dark alley or by appropriators in suits and power ties in committee rooms with a system behind them ready to put you behind bars if you refuse to comply, strong arm robbery is strong arm robbery. But I can pretend like there is a distinction. I comply. I don't want to go to jail. I won't make any trouble. I have too much to lose. For now.

2. The MFM never, ever presents a calm, reasoned argument against said outrageous idea, instead choosing to paint anyone who objects as a wild-eyed zealot totally lacking in good sense.

3. Outrageous idea now becomes part of the "national dialogue" as though it was there all along, usually becoming part of progressive policy.

4. Profit!

Intelligence is not the problem for people like Kraut. Its ego and arrogance.

Like a liberal, he overthinks everything just to prove he's the smartest guy in the room. If everyone else is leaning 'A' then 'A' cant be right because everyone else is stupid.

That type of arrogance leads to isolation, which in turn creates a greater sense of elitism. He is so far removed from the people its sad.

135 "Obama's back!"

Based on vapors and goat entrails.  Meanwhile the most Republicans in the House of Representatives since before the Kims of Pyongyang became pains in the ass means absolutely nothing whatsoever.

136 Dam these asshats who think of themselves as unbiased media hounds. On second thought, calling them asshats is too much like an appellation of agreement. They are really dingleberries. Yea, DINGLEBERRIES is their correct appellation.

137 people keep talking about the comeback kid and how Obama isn't through and all that. Who the heck are they responding to? What is this spin supposed to be countering? <;p> nobody on earth thought President Obama was going to disappear in a puff of smoke because Republicans won some congressional seats. The argument was never "Republicans won because people wanted Obama to just go hide somewhere" it was always "Republicans won because the Democrats were idiots who wouldn't stop doing crap that pissed them off."

So what does the Democratic party do with its waning moments of huge majorities in both houses? Try to ram more crap through that people hated.

No, he's not brilliant.   He misses the mark quite a lot, and has been in the Beltway a little too long.   He has no concept of what the majority of Americans think or want.   That causes him to opine on some issues that he hasn't a clue about, and it leads those who believe he is brilliant to come to wrong conclusions.

Thus, his telling America how intelligent the Won is gives rise to the belief that Obama is smarter that he is.  

139 I'm going to disagree with Ace on incompetence. He loaded up his Cabinet and the regulatory authorities with socialists/Marxists and told them to have at it. Thus we see end runs on union regulations, the FCC net neutrality, EPA emissions, off shore drilling (and in general natural resource restrictions), criminal justice (border enforcement, Black Panthers, IG firings, Gitmo trials), contract law (GM bondholders), and so on.
 
Oh, and manipulating the CBO rules + reconciliation to get ObamaCare through. Somehow, this doesn't add up to sheer incompetence to me. Evil? You bet. Don't fall into the trap of just looking at the surface, where some of his worst legislative and foreign policy initiatives have been beaten back barely.

Fuck that.   Is that his job?   Covering his ass?    That's whats wrong with the punditocracy.   None of them will speak the unadulterated truth.   Too damn concerned with being 'inside' the Beltway.

153 You got it right about the media's general feelings about Conservatives being "Stupid, Evil, Crazy,Out-of-touch".   What you missed in their bias is the LABEL for their bias -- POLITICAL BIGOTRY.   The Left Wing Media have taken the racial bigotry against blacks of days long gone and replaced blacks with conservatives.  Blacks used to be Stupid, Evil, Crazy, Out-of-Touch.  It's no longer politically correct to have those opinions of blacks.  But hey -- why not just refocus racial bigotry of the past as political bigotry against conservatives.  Wow -- what a concept! It's that simple. 

Further, you can also expect the left wing wingnuts to continue to get away with their political bigotry long into the future so long as there is no general effort to properly label the left's political bigotry for it is -- political bigotry.  If people came to recognize political bigotry for what it is, it would die a quick death and the left wing nut cases would have to find another way to market their cause or trash those of others..   Neither approach is a task they are well suited for.

silly rabbits...

Obama needs one of the following four to win another term.

1. millions of new voters
2. a shitty Republican candidate
3. a third-party straw candidate
4. a disaster, i.e. an attack or an epidemic

163

Without having to force the public to choose this ideology or that, he would just fix things, not because he believed in a specific theory of politics but because he was just that good.

This. A thousand times this.

You've got scary-large segment of the population out there that utterly lacks the ability to think critically.

Ideology? Why, that's what the whole problem is. Why can't everyone just get along and just get stuff fixed?

That's who these imbeciles think. And what's worse, they just assume that there are smart people out there who know what to do.

What these low information, uncritical voters do not and never will understand is that when dealing with massive, complex systems (like the economy or our health care system), the smartest guy in the world is incompetent. The best he can do is fake it.

That's what we have--a government full of big talking fakers.

And it is necessarily so.

Anyone who works within a company of more than a few dozen employees sees the overwhelmingly negative inertia of bureacracies. 

It is inexorable. It grinds. Anyone who stands before it is reduced to dust.

There is no greater bureacracy than the U.S. government. Any rational observer would understand the inherent flaw of trying to fix anything through such a corrupt, broken system.

But for some strange reason, when it comes to politics otherwise reasonable people suddenly lack the ability to extrapolate basic everyday experiences and apply them to a larger sphere.

Oh, yes. These smart people have my best interest in mind, they think. 

Excuse me? Are you insane? Does your typical boss have your best interest in mind? How about the company's best interest?

No?

Smart as a whip? A whiz at squeezing more out of his limited resources? A dynamic and inspirational leader who knows how to attract and retain the best and brightest?

No?

Well, is he at least charitable, fair and benevolent?

No?

Well what is he interested in? Protecting his own little fiefdom at any cost? Preserving his lifestyle? Grabbing glory and credit whether they're his due or not? Waging petty battles against other department heads over past transgressions, the details of which are long forgotten?

A sneaky little shit who kissed ass into his current position and is going to camp out there for another 10 years, protecting his ass by hook or by crook until retirement?

The deuce you say!

But the folks in government are different. Somehow.

Better.

Kinder.

Smarter.

More capable.

And so it goes...

Dr. K wanted to believe that the nice young Black man with the pleasant speaking voice was indeed intelligent enough to have earned the job of US Senator, his party's Presidential nomination, and ultimately election to the highest office in the land.

If Dr. K were to turn around today and say, "Obama is a pretty ordinary intellect with below-average intellectual curiosity," what would that say about the Doctor's own judgment?

Remember, for the Brookses and Frums and Krauthammers and Noonans of the world, saying "Obama is a dolt" is tantamount to saying "I am an idiot because I was taken in by a dolt."

165 According to Hopenchange, the car is in the ditch. Unfortunately, he has subsequently removed the trusty internal combustion engine and replaced it with a government subsidized battery powered engine... and he thinks he's that it's our fault for not embracing the empty promises of "change".

166 4. a disaster, i.e. an attack or an epidemic

Nah, I'm not sure that would help him.  If it was any kind of terrorist or external attack, it would be so patently obvious how much he hates this country that normal people would reject him.

And he's already had (and bumbled) a couple of disasters.  How'd that oil spill work for him?

All you people talking about relative brilliance are hysterical. Any person's brilliance is measured by the degree with which they are in lockstep with your views. And half of you are below average in intelligence. So shuddup.

More than that, wouldn't his supposed brilliance have produced some philosophy, some policy, some direction that wasn't standard liberal boilerplate?  If being an ultra-genius simply makes you wind up at the same end point of left-wing platform mundanity, where's the brilliance?  Jesse Jackson Jr., Ted Kennedy, Joy Behar, Obama-- they're all on the same square when it comes to policies and outlooks, so why is one a genius and the others aren't?  What's so damn special about Obama that only a genius can do it?

Per my #171, the MSM cannot come out and say "Obama is a dolt," because they would then have to admit that not only were they taken in by a dolt, but that they completely abdicated (even subverted) their responsibilities as journalists to hold candidate Obama to the same standard as any other candidate for President.

The only reason the little boy shouted out that the Emperor had no clothes on was because he didn't have a vested interest in preserving the lie to protect his own ego.

Actually, Obama will go down in history.... his life and times will be studied.... that is as soon as we can get into his SEALED RECORDS...

His life will be a case study of how the Citizens of this time period lost their minds, and elected Fake Style over any substance... and managed to elect someone who if properly vet'd, would not have been eligable for election due to being born a dual citizen.

That is, once the American citizens wake up from their multicultural Citizen of the World Nightmare... and realize that being an an American citizen is a special thing...

186 If being an ultra-genius simply makes you wind up at the same end point of left-wing platform mundanity, where's the brilliance? Jesse Jackson Jr., Ted Kennedy, Joy Behar, Obama-- they're all on the same square when it comes to policies and outlooks, so why is one a genius and the others aren't?

Osama Obama's place in history will be governed largely by two factors: 1) whether the nation can survive his vindictive, America-hating, pro-Muzzie regime with a relatively intact populations and (if #1 is positive) 2) how long it takes a government led by a patriotic-pro-American, competent President to repair the collateral damage the Traitor-in-Chief has done to our economy, social structure and Constitution.

The Democrats are in a steel-jawed trap of their own making.  How do you primary the Historic First Black President?  As we've just witnessed in the midterm elections, Democrats are willing to place ideological consistency over electoral considerations, and enough of them will be willing to do the honorable thing by sticking with their HFBP to cost them the Presidency, if the Republicans run someone acceptable to both independents and non-psychotic Democrats.

201 Leftover Soothsayers:

"1. millions of new voters
2. a shitty Republican candidate
3. a third-party straw candidate
4. a disaster, i.e. an attack or an epidemic"

I'm with you except for #4. Team Obama likes to frame self-defined "crises" because they really aren't and their manifestations purely contrived. A real crisis? Remember the BP oil spill? Unemployment? Failing economy? Foreign threats? Et cetera. Obama wants nothing to do with them and, when forced, flails and fails horrifically. The last thing that can bail him out is a real, unpremeditated crisis. I think most Americans know a weak president as surely do our enemies abroad. The thinking ones will recoil at the thought of Obama at the helm.

Think Carter. Carter's appalling, weak leadership led us to his successor in a grand rebuke. The Iranian hostage crisis clubbed the electorate to its senses.

The real question is, "Do we have enough people still unweaned from the government teat that a good clubbing can work?" Team Obama's goal is to win the race to make more dependents faster than independents can be agitated to action.

202 If you thought the 2008 mfm suckfest for President Wondderfuck was impressive, it will be epic for 2012.

By not going wobbly at the first or five thousandth accusation of racism.

Just because that is how you judge intelligence doesn't mean that everyone else does the same.  It isn't difficult, for instance, for someone to acknowledge that Chomsky is brilliant, but wrong on his politics (which are driven by his emotional handicaps and not his intellect).  Perhaps you have problems making that distinction, but many others do not.

Posted by: iknowtheleft at December 27, 2010 07:31 PM (G/MYk)

You read me wrong, I agree with your paragraph above. There are plenty of brilliant people in the world who are wrong about certain things. Obama does not fall into that category in my view. His intelligence seems normal, and he has huge holes in his knowledge on many subjects.

 

228
One of my best memories from Barney Miller...

Leavitt and Dietrich are walking out the door of the precinct and somehow the THREE STOOGES came up.

Leavitt says, "I liked Shemp."

Dietrich shakes his head in disgust and says very seriously, "We have nothing further to discuss."

229 Wasn't that what the US public was sold on during the 2008 election, the word “competence?" Oh yes, people like McCain and Sarah Palin were either rubes or political hacks. But no, St. Barry was the most competent person on the planet to solve this mess, right? After all, he was the head of the Harvard Law Review and don't you know, you foolish people, that if you're the head of the Harvard Law Review that automatically qualifies you to take over the most complicated economy on this planet? Instead of competency, we simply got a far-left liberal who wanted to implement the progressive wish list from about 70 years ago. It was the same old tune, spend and tax your way out of a recession. It never worked in the past, so why should it work now? And we also see that all of these "spectacular" ideas are also now collapsing in Europe, the very cradle of the western socialist nanny state. Countries like Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy are all either bankrupt or about to go bankrupt because of their economic policies, but that doesn't matter to Obama and people of his ilk. He probably thinks they are failing because they simply didn't "explain" their financial policies well enough to their people. So much for "competence." We need to follow solid conservative principles and decrease spending, decrease taxes, and decrease the size of the Federal government. These policies HAVE worked in the past and should be used again. And I didn't go to Havard.

230  Back in the early 80s I read an article that made this same point.  Except that they pointed out that it went back to 1860, when the first-ever Republican president was called such charming names as "ape" "gorilla", etc.

They also pointed out that the Democrat presidents were always-WITHOUT EXCEPTION- brilliant, accomplished, charming, etc.

Just goes to show how impartial the media always is, huh?

Intelligence is sort of defined as knowing where those holes are and whether or not you need to fill them.  As president, he's got a lot of holes (you gay guys just get the fuck back, ok?), and he's unwilling to fill them. 

His experience can be encapsulated in community organizing, FFS.  Really?  He's a loser that got elected because he was black and fed the unions with "organized communuties."

Forget his transcripts, nobody has been able to find anyone who even remembers Obama at any of his schools. Who doesn't remember the smartest, most capable kids they went to school with? Obama was an average kid with average grades who road his black appearance and his willingness to exploit it to accomplishments far beyond his relatively average talent. One statement Holder made that I actually agree with, this country is cowardly when speaking about race. Half the country is willing to accept that any black person who speaks well is a genius and the other half is too afraid of being called a racist if they disagree.

240 The Dems shoulda gone with Hillary  and taken their lumps in the polling booth for it. But they got too afraid the Soroses and other fat cats would be worried about their return on investment in the Democrats, and went for the surer win in 2008.

That is certainly a componet of intelligence. Some people stick out in creativity, some in concentration ability, and on and on. Obama? Uhhhh....he has shown an ability to rise higher in life than his actual ability so have taken him, so he's got that going for him.

250 The math is easy:
40% of the country doesn't pay taxes and many of them get bonus payments--no way they are going to vote anyway but straight socialist ticket, whether or not they identify themselves as liberals/progressives or moderates or independents; and, of
the remaining 60% ( and I base this on constant observation of the moron horde) roughly 1 in five is mentally deficient, and enamored of the MFM etc, thus even of the 60% you THINK you can count on to vote for the good of the country, 12% of the total electorate will vote "stupidly".

Run the numbers and you get 52% for the Obama (D)  socialist wunderkind and 48% for the generic opponent (R).  Bottom line, this was a nice country once upon a time.

Yep. The  good-black-speaker=genius part is also an indication that the person who believes in the validity of that equation also believes that most blacks are inferior.  (BTW, he has always stunk on ice as a speaker.  But I'm guessing that these knuckleheads are using the Reid Theorem.)

And the thing is that there are indeed a lot of black guys (and girls) out there who speak well, are intelligent and who have concrete accomplishments. That particular fact, coupled with all of the purposeful secrecy about Obama's records and background leads one to the not-new conclusion that his persona was totally fashioned by the Left and that the fix has been in for a long time.  A regular black person with real accomplishments would not have be as pliant a puppet.

270 Meremortal@264,

I can vouch for Unclefacts. He's quite clever.

271 this is post dances around the bullshit. Obama was elected because he was black. It was white guilt cleansing itself. Now it's over. Things like Pigford and the Black Panthers stopping people from voting can come to fore without anyone saying crap about racism or anything else. The racism argument falls on deaf ears. Shelby Steele has written very elegantly on this.

I dont even try to argue with stupid cocksuckers on that level of disassociation.

By not going wobbly at the first or five thousandth accusation of racism.

Posted by: baldilocks at December 27, 2010 07:46 PM (T2/zQ)

But by definition, we're talking about Democrats.  They've all gone wobbly in anticipation of the first accusation of racism.

Remember how much trouble Hillary had in the campaign?  She was in a knot, because she relied on the Black vote but was running against the HFBP Candidate.  She couldn't attack him the way she would any other opponent, and so couldn't drive home his incompetence and lack of experience in an effective way.

Even a regular half black person wouldn't do.

299 baldilocks: "Yep. The good-black-speaker=genius part is also an indication that the person who believes in the validity of that equation also believes that most blacks are inferior."

Joe "Clean and Articulate" Biden comes to mind. Somehow, however, this evident racism never got anything more than a cursory rebuke. It was just, "Oh, that's ol' Joe being Joe. It's harmless." No, it wasn't, but the MFM didn't mind carrying Biden's water because he's not, philosophically, The Other.

And that's "the soft bigotry of low expectations" that still infests the chattering class. Only that was a Bushism and unworthy of remembrance, naturally.

300 MFM have tied their fortunes to Obama's and have nowhere else to go.  They know full well that when Republicans get back into power there will be hell to pay.  As a result they now must do everything to prevent that happening including backing the FCC's attempts to regulate the internet.

I truly hope you are correct -- that he's a one term president.  But I'm not so sure he can't accomplish insurmountable problems in the two years left -- these end runs around Congress and the courts are troubling, so is the damage to presidential image.  He's going about destroying respect for the office (both nationally and internationally) at an alarming rate.

I'll believe it when I see it, Timbo.

311 Obama's fall is all the more spectacular because of the way he sold himself.

I don't think Obama sold himself on being a messiah. His supporters may have made him out to be because they were desperate for change and desperately afraid of the alternative. The change? We had an incumbent who led us into war that did not need to be started. People's lives and vast amounts of treasure lost. All that lost on "faulty intelligence"? That's why they needed change. The incumbent was stupid, out of touch, surrounded by evil people and trying desperately to appeal to the crazy. Those things you mention below. I don't think that was made up in a meeting of liberal elite media players. That's the real equation that represents your side of politics.

We were also afraid of the alternative. A campaign that would actually choose to run a media-whore and carnival barker of cheap lies who can't even finish a term as governor. Either doesn't read the papers or is just afraid to say what she did and didn't read  - or was being coached to not play with the "liberal" reporters. It was a really simple question. Just like Sharon Angle was shielded in a "no media bubble". As was Joe Miller. A new thing with your candidates I see. We already suffered Stupid and Out Of Touch. We didn't wan t part deux. Messiahs can grow out of that environment.

Non-righties and those who don't fear non-whites were also excited about a black president. I realize that's not a big thing with many of the folks who vote your way but for the rest of us, we felt good about it. And will again the next time it happens.

Obama didn't make himself to be a messiah. These things did.

Candidates and parties sell themselves partly on ideology and party on simple competency.

Your side just made this an easy choice.

Liberals run harder on this message of competency than conservatives do, partly because the media sells this for them  

Oh Lord. Yes, sure. The elite media elites all gather in a secret elite meeting and and chart the liberal elite course of the news. They have a secret handshake too. Can't you just get used to the idea that much of the country has other things on their mind beyond STOPPING a woman's right to choose, STOPPING gays from marrying, STOPPING gays from serving their country, STOPPING common sense environmental policy? You sure you love freedom? Are you sure?

1. Stupid

2. Evil

3. Crazy

4. Out-of-touch

Your four points. You got that right. Sure - It is just a conspiracy that anyopne from the right would be categorized this way. Totally made up. Not true at all. Yikes.

So the public bought into Obama, to the tune of 53%, not on his ideology, mostly, but on just how super-duper smart he was.

This is just too simple and stupid for you, Ace. I'm disappointed.

The rest of this dreck completely discounts a congress from day one, not concerned a bit with fixing the nation's problems but rather laser focused on destroying Obama. Congressional republicans who will do anything and sacrifice anyone in the name of beating down President Obama.

I'm not too happy with him but I will vote for him gain because your side really is Stupid, Evil, Crazy and Out of touch. I just read a comment from one of your readers still screaming for the birth certificate. Yup.

Your side claims we're run by Media Elites. Our side claims you're run by Elite, Short-Term Greed.  - Tax cuts for the rich, the Walmart family, Koch Brothers, Insurance Industry, Oil Industry.

I like my elites better. Some of them actually care about people who DON'T have what they have.

Another thing you left out - you thrive on division. We thrive on inclusion. I know Obama wouldn't commit to gay marriage but his supporters are committed and they know you oppose it. That's not selling anymore. That's Stupid, Evil, Crazy and Out of touch.Our political universe includes Hispanics, blacks, gays and other minorities. Your party has no room for these. You overlooked that Ace.

Obama will win in 2012.  But what will mark his presidency will not so much be incompetence but the sheer viciousness of the forces against him and precisely what those forces stood for. Greed and Intolerance. Stupidity, Evil, the Incurious and the Crazy.
 
Happy Christmas.

"We are the ones we have been waiting for."

315 >>And the thing is that there are indeed a lot of black guys (and girls) out there who speak well, are intelligent and who have concrete accomplishments. Of course, you being one. But the larger issue is why are we still talking about race? Who cares? I sure as hell don't and I'm sick and tired of being told I do. I said before the election if Obama got elected race relations would take a giant step backward in this country. Not because of racist conservatives but because of racist liberals. They see EVERYTHING through the prism of race, they are the embodiment of the low expectations of racism. Worse, they turn their eyes from anything black racists like Obama and Holder are doing with the DOJ because it wouldn't be right to speak the truth. They have allowed generations of blacks and other poor people to be trapped by the fraud of government programs like welfare. They make excuses for the tragedies of things like unwed teens, high dropout rates, violence and generational poverty that plagues the black community instead of treating those issues as personal failures and expecting them to step up as they expect white people to. It is the worst form of paternalistic racism. Why do liberals even tolerate let alone support the Congressional Black Caucus? In the year 2010, it's high time we started judging people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. Conservatives seem to understand this simple truth far better than liberals.

320 Ah, JimmyJoe. Hope you enjoy the meltdown, and taste well the ashes of your dreams.

322 Yeah Jimmy-Joe.You get his snide irony?All us dumb rethuglicans have two first names and cling to our guns and our sky god.Subtle genius like his idol.

323 The Drizzle: "Bush couldnt public speak worth a shit, though."

While true, Obama can't either. Technically, he reads TOTUS well. When Obama really needs to answer a simple question, he cannot. Recall, for example:

Doris, South Carolina Town Hall Attendee: "...My question is, though, in the economy times that we have now, is it a wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care because it — we are overtaxed as it is."

Over seventeen minutes later and Doris still didn't have an answer.

Obama is a bullshit artist. He has to be because most Americans reject Socialism/Marxism/Communism. He is successful at selling it because the Constitutionally protected industry tasked with analyzing/critiquing him is derelict in its duty (since the MFM is ideologically sympatico) and actually reinforces his bubble except when it recoils occasionally in a fit of pique. Bush was just a poorer bullshit artist so his rhetoric was less flowing. And the Fourth Estate hated him.

324

@323: "I like my elites better. Some of them actually care about people who DON'T have what they have."

Not only do they care, they work their asses off to make sure that those people will NEVER have what they have.

325 JimmyJoe (hey, are you named after the mutant freak in a Heinlein novel?) -- you spent an awful lot of words to say "I know you are but what am I?"

326 The only thing that disappoints me about President Obama is that he never returns my emails.I mean,if he wont let me blow him can't he at least give me a golden shower??

331 "I smell a Brit, or rather his tooth decay" That's too damned bad. I'd have loved to see him suffer under the backlash theocracy that will descend here after retarded barry is convicted of treason.

332 I like my elites better. Some of them actually care about people who DON'T have what they have.



Who give a rat's ass whether they care or not?  The only thing that the "elites" need to do is get out of the way of others who have the gumption to at least try to get the the same types of things that the "elites" have.  The tool for the pursuit of happiness=real education+drive+hard work.  But the "elites" tell the rest of us that expecting those things from blacks, etc. is racist and, instead, that the government should force the "elites" to give the "inferiors" a piece of of the allegedly finite pie.  And charming fellows like yourself call that "care."  What is it really?  A new form of slavery; this time meant for all non-elites--equal opportunity to be chattel.

333 >>I like my elites better. Some of them actually care about people who DON'T have what they have If there is one thing that screams I care, it's people like John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama spending other people's money while they Jet off to Maui or Nantucket on their private jets while eating their arugula. Here's a tip, jimmy, Harry Reid doesn't give a fuck about illegal aliens. It was a payoff to the casino owners who employee all those illegals and who punched his ticket back to DC. If you aren't intelligent enough to understand that perhaps you should shut the fuck up.

336 Don't let fuckwit get under your skin. The only reason the knob-slobber posted his leave-britney-alone screed is because he knows that his messiah has singlehandedly turned civilization's inexorable march of progress (over the cliff) into something more. . . exorable. The overreach is obvious because retarded little barry's monumental ineptitude. From now until the next POTUS is sworn-in, the presidential seal should be replaced with the spinning ship's wheel from the "Gilligan's Island" opening credits. It's going to be the better part of a generation before another leftist fuckstick holds that office.

No.  He survived.  Great. It was hell.  I read the book. 

What he managed to get through, there, means nothing in his current capacity.  It no more makes him a competent senator than being a superbowl-winning quarterback.  He's out of his depth and not qualified.

353 ...and his record, prior to not avoiding that SAM missile, wasn't exactly stellar.  So, no, he doesn't have my respect.  He didn't earn it.  From me.

354 >>What he managed to get through, there, means nothing in his current capacity. It no more makes him a competent senator than being a superbowl-winning quarterback. He's out of his depth and not qualified. You misunderstood me. As much as I respect what he did in Vietnam, I despise him as a politician and what he has become as a person. I honor his service, I have no use for him at all as a politician.

355 I am proud that I voted for Presidence Obama and will do it again in 2011.

356 And I want to be crystal clear on this:

John McCain was tortured.  Did he choose to be tortured?  No.  He was just subjected to a depraved commie system.  That, in and of itself doesn't make him a hero.  Or worthy of my respect.  If he'd been tortured -at his request- then that'd be a different story. 

Just getting beat the F up doesn't make you a hero.  Getting maimed by an oppressive enemy doesn't make you a hero it makes you a victim.  There's a difference.

Simply put: suffering through an ass kicking doesn't make you a hero, it just means you got your ass kicked.  In his case, he lived through an ass kicking.  Good for him, but he's the sole benefactor. 

There's a lot of very. VERY. good men who've given all in much worse circumstances and haven't been given any recognition....you wouldn't even recognize their names...so no.  no.  no.

357

I wouldn't vote for anyone because they're black. I would only vote for him or her as long as they didn't represent you, #374 and the rest of ya. Na-ah. No way...
That's the reason why a lot of people voted the way they did. A lot of people are against the very things you represent. The very things that excite your base. That's what they vote against.

For you - freedom means not for everybody

you 'all are becoming more and more a minority until you go the way of the dinosaurs... You're nothing to worry about in 2012 or beyond..

Bye bye...

..The same son who "drizzled in your wifes mouth?" And she told you she loved you, what a lying piece of shit. Your best bet is to stick to barn animals, since human compatible sexual partners is impossible for you.

Every time I go to the barn to fuck the animals, I end up waiting for hours while you unsuccessfully try to perform 69 on them. At least be considerate, friend.

369 Bye bye...

Glad your back, it was getting a little drafty.

370 369 I am proud that I voted for Presidence Obama and will do it again in 2011.

Please see that you vote again in '11 mary.

371 Tangonine,
No lover of McCain's policies and such, I will make one plug for the man he was, if not the man he is now--when given the option to return home early as the son of an admiral, he turned it down in favor of men who had been there longer.

I can't give him a pass for all the crap he's pushed (McCain Feingold, amnesty, running an anemic campaign full of backstabbers et al), but having been through the weak sister of that experience called SERE, that does shift a little water with me.

A little.  He shouldn't be president, but he should be in one of the milder circles of hell as far as I'm concerned.  I myself am shooting for gluttony, sloth, and wrath, and not necessarily in that order.

And dear lad jimmie-joo, are you related to that sad peanut farmer who would be king, or are you flirting with antisemitism?

372 @390 Word. (Except for the part where you acknowledge the shitstain streaked down this thread)

373 I haven't read all the comments but, has anyone noted that Barry is a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure yet?

374 I skip over Jimmy's rants. You can't fix stupid.

375 #31, did you learn that word from Gary Gygax (as I did)? "Cause it to be seared by the odious flames of GeryonÂ’s destroyed soul or disintegrated in the putrid ichor of JuiblexÂ’s deliquescing flesh." (Found that here: http://jrients.blogspot.com/2009/01/throw-what-into-crack-of-what.html , on a search for "juiblex deliquescing") Nostalgia aside, it's a fantastic word.

376

I know what my IQ is having had it tested twice for schools I was attending, and I'm relatively confident that its about 50 points higher than Pres'ent Toonces number.

Grrrrr borboun and copy and paste do not seem to go well together... LOL

378 363 If it's me you're referring to, Baldi, yes:  a nap would be fantastic.  However, I stand by everything I've posted with regard to Mr. McCain.

No, dear.  That was for Jimmy Choo

379 he took over a job that was being done by a guy with 30% approval ratings. His have been at near 50^ fro the last six months and seem to be holding.

380 he took over a job that was being done by a guy with 30% approval ratings. His have been at near 50^ fro the last six months and seem to be holding

but everytime someone forgets to blow him in the press or at a conference, he has a fainting spell or has to go golfing.  When he's not spending every waking hour trying shit the chinese are saying, "Dude, that's a little, well, too commie".

Actually, strike that--the more putts he misses or stitches he gets playing basketball, the better it is for that.

Forget I said anything.

381 I think the Gulf oil spill best embodied The One's incompetence: looking for asses to kick instead of booms to send.

382 youÂ’re assholes. racist, ignorant, assholes blinded by religion.

Describes Democrats/liberals quite appropriately.

Alan Grayson = Asshole.

Racist = Al Sharpton.

Ignorant = None other than Barack Obama.

Assholes blinded by religion = Al Gore and all of his globull warming disciples.

383 Money quote: he's Mr. Fuck It Up Worse

384 If "Israel is  a sore"--as Obama said, then Obama is a chancre on the body politic. 

385 Jimmyjoo can't possibly be a real lefty commenter.  It is just too much a parody of liberal cliche.  It has to be ace or someone else throwing red meat for the commenters.

386

He can't be real. People can't survive with that much stupid. That's why we have the Darwin awards.

"you 'all are becoming more and more a minority"

Someone wasn't paying attention last month.

387 Don't forget - Republican Vice Presidents get the same treatment.  Quale was stoopid and Cheney was evil incarnate.

388 Half the country is willing to accept that any black person who speaks well is a genius and the other half is too afraid of being called a racist if they disagree.

And this sums up my Christmas experience with my family this weekend.  Except that the ratio in that living room was 5-1 instead of 50-50.  Well said JackStraw.

389 I hope the public isn't fooled.  I've got an uncle -admittedly a liberal, not unaligned- who now swears that what Obama and the democrats need is for the republicans to stop obstructing them, and if they would just get out of the way and give the dems power to do everything they want that the economy would be fixed, Obamacare would work and all else would be made right in the world.  And event that doesn't quite convey the extent of what he was saying; I was listening to him over Christmas and thinking "holy ----, this is the kind of thinking that gets dictators and demagogues supported."

My one reason for optimism is that "the political center" isn't - that is, independents aren't all actually at the mid-point between liberal progressivism and conservatism.  Some are libertarians, some are tea partiers, some are liberals pretending otherwise, and some are just fuzzy thinkers.  But it is sobering to be reminded that some number of the public really do think the right leaders just need more power to make things right.

You forgot:

5.  Racist

And, I forgot to point out, my stupid-ass lib brother who has now lived in Phoenix for all of six MONTHS made sure that this label applied to me too.  At Christmas Eve dinner.  FML.

391

We get the government we deserve.  When people refuse to examine the accomplishments, records, and associates of a candidate in preference to pablum from any source we will be taken in by any two bit Elmer Gantry, Rev Sharpton, or Marx.

Obamao the Kenyan affirmative action candidate, fooled most of the people in 2008.  I doubt the Oprah crowd and slack jawed youth who found his act so inspirational will admit voting for this child-girlie man in 2012.

 

In spite of how brillant the dinosaur media tells us he is, despite his having visited all 57 states; regretting he couldn't speak Austrian to the Austrians; or speaking Canadian in Quebec.

I never thought I'd miss the candor of Nixon; the competence of Carter or the honesty of Clinton in  comparison to Rev. Wright's little boy's brillance and many achievements.

 

392 Here Here Ace!

Well said. For the most part that sums up quite a bit in a hard cold succinct manner. Thank you very much, sincerely.

You write some good stuff Pal, but this takes the cake. You got to be a man on fire to put into words something like this you wrote here.
My hats off to you.
Bravo man!
Bravo!!
