1 Ummm...what Russ said.

2 Game. Set. Match.

3 Nice one.

4 Yeah, well there's three more years worth where that came from.

5 Barack Obama:  Putting the Feck in Fecklessness.

6 yep. same here.

7 I wonder if Barry found a box of old sweaters in the WH.

8 If I were Barry, I'd stay away from canoes and rabbits.

9 Barack Obama:  Putting the Feck in Fecklessness.

Barack Obama:  Putting FEAR into chickens everywhere.

10 i was wondering why there werent more "you lie"s being spouted,   the laughter said it all tho.

11 Having skipped the speech myself, I can attest that you are 100% correct down to the last detail.

12 DiP iT

13 Barack Obama: Putting the Feck in Fecklessness. ------------------------------ Putting the wreck in Recklessness.

14 Obama certainly didn't learn anything from the past three election defeats and repudiations against him by the American people.

He's still hell-bent on pushing forward his progressive agenda.

Michael Barone is right... it's not going to be a repeat of 1994.  It's going to be a repeat of 1977--a friggin' landslide victory in both chambers by Republicans.

15 Barack Obama: Becoming the Ex in Executive.

16 I actually tried to miss the speech, but  didn't dally after choir rehearsal long enough.  It was pretty much what was expected.  "I, me, my" etc.  And no indication that he gets the fact his agenda has been rejected.

17

This just in:  Dinosaurs were gingers.  I kid you not.

18 Barack Obama: Putting the Feck in Fecklessness.

Shouldn't that be "Feck You"?

19 Double Dip!

20 Obama is the best thing to happen to the GOP in my lifetime.

21 Ehhhh. What's cookin', Barack?

22

My analysis as someone who also didn't watch it, didn't read about it afterwards, and don't really give a shit what the buffoon had to say:

He lied.

He referred to himself.  A lot.

He got undeserved applause for banal statements.

He demagoged big business and special interests... though he left it unsaid that the big businesses and special interests that supported him and contributed to his campaign are totally cool and stuff.

He talked about jobs, and as true with all liberals, suggested throwing money at the problem.

He blamed Bush.

He feigned concern over the deficit.

He insenserely talked about the need for bipartisanship.

No idea how close I am- I drank beer and played WoW instead of watching.  But I bet I'm not terribly far off.

23 Looks like I am getting bumped down a notch on the all-time list.

24 How many times was the first person pronoun used?

25 Hollowpoint proves it... You've heard one of His speeches, you've heard them all. Next SOTU, they could save a lot of trouble and just do a rerun.

26 #25 from an Insty reader: Obama SOTU 2010 First Person Singular Pronoun Count I – 96 times me – 8 times Bush SOTU 2008 First Person Singular Pronoun Count I – 39 times me – 2 times

27 You missed a former Harvard Law Review President make a complete and utter fool of himself on an SC decision.

And reveal himself to be a petty classless fuckwad (again) in the bargain.

28 f I were Barry, I'd stay away from canoes and rabbits. SHHHHHHH. We;re already making plans.

29

I thought the drinking game would be fun.

Obama stole the "N" from my F U N.

30 Hollowpoint, Malkin has more.

Obama also tried to excuse the ClimateGate crap, and got LAUGHED AT when he brought up his bogus spending freeze.

He's lost the plot.

31 ahem, sock.

32 Hey Russ! 

I won over THREE HUNDRED dollahs from Georgia Tech fans from the Orange Bowl!!1!  Whoo-hoo!

One hundred and fifty-five yards of total offense?

Hawkeye.  Defense.

33 He puts the Dick in Dictator.

34 Did you notice the haggard look on Obama's face and the red bags under his eyes?  It's like someone bitch slapped him before he went up on the podium.

Nailed it.  But left out the whining and crying.  There was a bunch of that too.

36

OK, I've skimmed some posts about his speech.  If I could predict the outcome of horse races like I can predict the content of an Obama speech, I'd make Biff from Back to the Future II look like an amateur.

Did he refer to someone in the audience as an example of the need for "change"?  I forgot to add that one.

37

The "Big Winner" from tonight's speech?

Jimmy Carter.

Hooray for me.

38 Over the next few months, barry's collapse is going to accelerate. The mid term elections are going to be stunning.

39
I'm so happy.
I'm gonna treat my to a lace wig from the shop down the street that is owned by a jooo.

40 One SOTU chuckler... Janet "Man-caused disaster" Napolitano fell asleep.

41 Yeah, I pretty much played WoW too. lolwutobama?

42 Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

43 Hollowpoint, Malkin has more.

Obama also tried to excuse the ClimateGate crap, and got LAUGHED AT when he brought up his bogus spending freeze.

He's lost the plot.

He brought up the Cap and Trade bullshit?  Did Rahm forget to tell him not to go out of his way to remind voters why they disapprove of him?

And yeah, the "spending freeze" was talked about before the speech.  The Democrat idea of a "spending freeze" is to freeze 1% of spending, then increase the other 99%.  And follow up by bragging about how much money they saved by freezing that 1%

It's like vowing to save on your electric bill by turning off the computer when not using it, and using the money saved as an excuse to take out a third mortgage to buy a Porsche.

44 #43  George.  Nawww.... Janet was thinking of ways to stop all those illegals from crossing into the Arizona border, and how to stop underwear bombers from getting on planes. Thats why she had to close both eyes. All the strain you know.

45 did he say "God Bless America" at the end of the speech?

46

did he say "God Bless America" at the end of the speech?

No idea.  Better question: did he say "I Bless America" instead?

47

 Overheard from Jeff at Ann Althouse's "Look, I like to be lied to as much as the next guy, but I insist the person be a hot blond chick."

  Beldar tops that with,

  "Obama has a fool for a client."


madness

48 Hey buddy - got a trillion?

49 Kiss on the lips, with tongue, for that observation.

50 He did not even by me drink before he do sex to me. So he to same to you, capitalist running dogs?

I bet you even screw that up.

54

He actually mentioned global warming/climate?  I can't believe it...

55 Well... Even Peter Robinson at NRO is bagging on Barry. Robinson is very mannered, very adverse to hyperbole. Almost like a conservative version of the "NPR" temperament, where discourse is measured and far removed from the rhetorical excess that makes AOSHQ a pudding-filled confection. But even Robinson has had enough: "...Obama adopted a tone of such petulance, peevishness and condescension that independents could only have recoiled. Not a single memorable phrase. Not a single image of real freshness or beauty. Just a ponderous, self-indulgent, and long-winded botch."

56 I have never seen a single minute of this nonsense.
I never watched "American Idol" or "Are you smarter than a 5th grader", and I did not vote to "give the monkey the ball".

57 #60  You ride a Norton?

58 He actually mentioned global warming/climate?  I can't believe it...

59 I couldn't believe it either...

60

#60 Got that handle wrong...really though, you ride a Norton? I still have a rolling basket I hope to restore someday.

61 Anyway...he neglected to demonstrate his vision of America not going to the moon again. More than that myopia there is the defunding of the space shuttle replacement issue. Does this prick have ANYTHING going that could be called visionary?

62 Summation of the emperor's speech: The sycophants on my staff told be to ignore the  will of the people, and to continue to promote myself. After all, I'm their emperor, and they're just peasants. I love living like royalty. You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming out of my palace. In the meantime, let the peasants eat cake. BTW, has anyone seen my clothes?

63 I gave it an A +++++ most awesome SOTU  evah!

I'm not just saying this so Charles won't call me a racist.

However, no one is to comment on the speech until I clear this with Mr Johnson

64

Shouldn't Obama be getting better at this stuff? He's going the wrong way.

Hubris? Drugs? Insanity?

65 I hate to admit it, but I am almost starting to feel sorry for this deluded asshole.  Although I feel more sorry for the rest of us. You can see he has no understanding of or connection to the nation he is trying to lead or it's people.  I know most politicians live in a bubble, but Obama is at an entirely new level here.

66 Victor Davis Hansen es en fuego tonight. End of his take:

All in all, this was a nonchalant performance that ran for well over an hour. The presidentÂ’s above-it-all cynicism, mocking, and dry humor didnÂ’t work. The whole thing reminded me of a flat grad-school seminar with a snickering prof talking down to clueless students.

67 As the Morons sleep...

With dreams of Chief Justice saying no,

as lefty's weep...

68

Watching Obama reminds me of Eugene O'Neill's play, The Emperor Jones, a loose adaption of Rudyard Kipling's Book, The Man Who Would Be King, but more appropriately its about a  black, egomaniacal demagogue who sets himself up as dictator of a Carribean Island by conning the superstitious, ignorant and gullibe islanders, only to be brought down ultimately by his deceit and guile.

That play is so politically incorrect that it has probably been banned, like the story of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Uncle Remus was banned 40 years ago, also. But the similarities between Emperor Jones and Obama are remarkable. I's a short story and a good read if you can find one in a library. It used to be a classic and required reading in middle schools, but not anymore, not since liberals redefined good literature.

69 He is not an American or at least he doesn't feel like an American.  Born of a Kenyan father who was involved in the post-colonial intrigue of Africa, dragged around by the scrunt mother, adolesence in Indonesia, abandoned to the only people who would take him, "typical white people" grandparents.  He has no pride in America or roots anywhere else.  A vacuum where the soul should reside. 

70 There is little if any difference between Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Barack Obama. All three of them are street hustlers, nothing less, nothing more.

71 I bumped into Al Sharpton in 2008.
I yelled out "Hey Al "
He spun around to find me in his face with my hand out
He shook it, and as he did I said "keep the faith"
And he responded "you too brotha"

Funny, this white boy could get a brotha....

True story

72 What did Senator Obama say about Bush's final State of the Union?

73 Shit, Hot Air had over 3,000 comments on their SOTU open thread.  They must have been knee deep in trolls.  All we had was smidge the shit stain.  What's wrong with us?  Why can't we attract a better class of troll?

I second that emotion.

77 I knew Jimmy Carter wasn't the worst prez ever when I saw that horrible Ohio Town Hall meeting last Friday.

78

They're replaying the whole speech, one snippet at a time, on F&F this morning. Those bastards! I went to bed at 9:00 for a reason.

79
Do you know how I know the GOP is dead?

They didn't have the brains nor the balls to invite Scott Brown to sit in the gallery during the SOTU.

Way to ride that momentum, Republicans.

87 Did anyone else see the JOKE flash poll done by CBS News with 83% of respondents approved of Obama's proposals last night.

One small problem.

They polled MORE THAN TWICE AS MANY DEMOCRATS AS REPUBLICANS!  44/21 - a 23 point gap!

Will this never end?  According to Rasmussen, that gap is now down to 1 point.  CBS missed only by 2200 percent.  No wonder CBS News was just voted THE LEAST TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE ON TV.

70 Victor Davis Hansen es en fuego tonight.

That guy is perpetually en fuego. 

I used to read his blog regularly and then quit because he got it right every single time about Obammer.  The bad thing about that was, it gets depressing.

90 I tried to watch Obama's high school pep rally. But just couldn't take it.

"With all due respect to separation of powers," evidently, Alito couldn't take the abuse, either, and refuted an Obama lie to his face.

91 I loved how he talked about the need for more energy (he mentioned nuclear, which was really the only big surprise for me), but then in the next breath talked about the Crap & Trash bill being needed. 1 step forward, 10 steps back.

92 While the previous entry was off the top of my head (I need to clean it up a bit), this is from the archives... On Idiot-ologies. Mouths' a'move or mouths' a'brawl? Twitter and bite, and byte of twit! With brevity and the soul of wit, And split of hair and whine so fine! Where might be a place to dine, With 'few courageous men, so fit, Whose words by deeds are thus acquit? With such men, I stand 'gainst all. ...or, as an old sea-dog I know puts it: "There's a talkin' part and there's a doin' part."

93 I slept thru the speech. And I don't feel like I missed a thing. Oh he dissed the Supreme Court? Hum?

94 I forgot he was black for an hour.

95 Obama's Black? Never heard of it.

96 I forgot he was black for an hour. Posted by: chris matthews at January 28, 2010 07:32 AM (YeNm How many stupid things does this guy have to say before he gets thrown off TV?

97 I forgot he was black for an hour.

Which means he remembered it after that hour.  So who's the one fixated on race?

98

How many stupid things does this guy have to say before he gets thrown off TV?

Oh come on, give the guy a break.  Not even Henry Higgins could have picked up The Precedent's negro dialect last night.

99

There is only one thing known for sure in the aftermath of the SOTU speech.

In the end, there will be only chaos.

G'morn...how bout this gem:

This narcissistic idiot president never shuts up.  When he was campaigning  everyone was saying how great he was at giving speeches. And the sad part for our country is that he believes that.  Then I realized that was why the powers that be chose him.  Obama is an empty suit, a front man for the Far Left and people like Axelrod and Rahm.  His sole purpose is to give speeches not to make decisions.  He is "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."  He's really just a ventriloquist's dummy.  Hell, he even looks like one.

106 My wife had the SOTU on in the living room.   She also worked on cadavers in occupational therapy classes and has a cast iron stomach.  I hid in my cave (office) and only came out for occasional foraging.

Unfortunately those had to be the times he was mouthing off at SCOTUS or making some other arrogant statement (yeah I know, how could I miss?).  I will wait for Glenn, Rush, Steyn, Goldberg etc to give this the comprehensive and professional derision this requires.

107 #69 Ken Royall

He can't connect because he is not of this country.  I don't mean his birthplace; don't care about the birth certificate. He has the soul of a third world grad student combined with that of a Marxist academic.

He doesn't know the people of this country.  His early life was spent in the schools of Indonesia.  His high school years were spent in an elite prep school.  College and university were spent in eastern academia.  And in Chicago he gravitated to people like Ayers and Wright.

He doesn't know about running a business, mowing the grass, or painting a fence.  He never belonged to 4-H, Little League,  Boy Scouts, or Pop Warner football.  He has never gone to a country fair except to campaign.  He's never fixed his own car, raked leaves, or unstopped a toilet.

Does he know about bowling leagues, Elks Club, or Knights of Columbus? Has he had neighbors who worked the line at Ford, sold insurance, or built houses?
Has he helped his wife hold a garage sale or take stuff to the dump?  Has he fished,  hunted, or taken his boat out on the lake?

He doesn't know the military or its culture.  He doesn't understand farming. He cannot understand how doctors run their practices.  Missionaries in Haiti are beyond his comprehension.

He doesn't know us.  He is not OF us.  He is a stranger in our land,  and in our White House.  We would be better off with Sarkozy running the country.

Funny, from a founding father of the modersn leftist movement:

One of Zinn's last public writings was a brief essay, published last week in The Nation, about the first year of the Obama administration.

"I've been searching hard for a highlight," he wrote, adding that he wasn't disappointed because he never expected a lot from Obama.

"I think people are dazzled by Obama's rhetoric, and that people ought to begin to understand that Obama is going to be a mediocre president - which means, in our time, a dangerous president - unless there is some national movement to push him in a better direction."

Thanks,  mama winger.  It has bothered me since before he was elected.   I don't understand why people didn't see it. 

Notice him in those photo ops with sports teams or at factories.  He is absolutely a fish out of water.  He sort of reminds me of an anthropologist studying the natives of
Timor.   He observes from afar.

112 I loved the timing from Turner Classic Movies channel last night during The Won's campaign speech: A series of communist-infiltrator films concluding with Sinatra in The Manchurian Candidate.

Well timed and played, Ted. Very well played.

113 @116

Given Ted's political leanings I think the programming manager at TCM may be looking for a new job this morning.

114 "Has he had neighbors who...or built houses?"

Yes.  Tony Rezko was a real estate developer.

115 Obama sure hates bankers.  He demonizes bankers.  He sees bankers as the enemy to be conquered. He wants the country to see bankers in the same evil light as he does. Interesting.  Wasn't his white grandmother, the one who raised him, the one who's funeral he did not attend, a banker?

Yeah, communism is great for everybody else right Ted? :-)

Reminds me of the "Ernie" cartoon from the early '90s where the "World's Last Living Communist" is trying to explain to Ernie how communism works:  "What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine; I've got a Jane Fonda poster and a 1982 Yugo- what've you got?"

1. Ginsberg death watch

2. I watched this piece of shit because my son had to for his government class and I wanted to add my comments and keep him from passing out. He actually ended up keeping me awake.

3. I stayed awake to watch the Frank Luntz focus group on Hannity. It was a big group and they felt like Obama was full of shit even the ones that voted for him; the only exceptions were the blacks and one gay guy but they had an air of desperation.

4. I guess Scalia and Thomas told Obama, thanks but no thanks butt head? Good for Alito for even showing up. Roberts looked like stone. My husband goes there often and says Ginsberg is "dead but not truely dead" sorta like health care.

5. McDonnell did a good job and I liked the venue: it made the response seem less petty.

129 #111 Miss Marple, en fuego.
I couldn't watch it either. VDH does so I don't have to.

130 nevergiveup - "How many stupid things does this guy have to say before he gets thrown off TV?" -- Does it matter what you say if no one is watching?

131
but if Sarah Palin made the response, more people would've watched and it would be talked about today

Nobody gives a shit about Bob McDonnell.

Way to ride that momentum, Republicans.

132

Washington Post full page headline above the fold: Obama moves to the middle. Washington Times headline: Obama holds fast to his agenda.

 

133 We don't have a non-office holder tv pundit giving the response to the state of the union. It's a test for a future contender. Having Sarah (and I love her) do the response would be like having Dan Rather doing the response to Bush --he already had the venue.

134 Hey, Obama has been quick to action.

Already this morning, he can proudly announce that Congress has banned foreign corporations from running election ads.

(The fact that this was true before his speech is of no consequence)

135
I watched most of it.  Obama is an angry progressive petulant child who lies.
And afterward, he asked for money.


Good going, America.

136 but did he end the speech with "God Bless American"?

137
I thought Bob did a nice job.  Compared to Obama's flip-flopping mess - Bob laid is out all nice and simple.  I think Sarah, while I like her a lot, isn't such a great public speaker. 

138
Obama is a liar.

It wasn't about  his anger, his tone, his looking down on us - it was about the fact that the man has no problem lying - one lie after another.

139
President Fake Right-Go Left

Couric, on the day before the SOTU: "Just had lunch with the president who seems pensive, slightly deflated, realistic, aggravated and resolute. Didn't eat his pie."

I smell a new Ace O Spades meme right there.

 

141

You are wise beyond any sane toddler's years. A+ analysis. Extra credit for not watching your assignment. Personally, I'm wearing a dunce hat for the second part. And I'm now questioning my analytical abilities for not thinking of Jimmy Carter myself.

142 Didn't eat his pie.

Brought home for me in a doggie bag.  Haters.

hahahahahaha

After he raised spending to 2 trillion a year he is willing to feeze spending (at 2 trillion).

Foreign money in American politics?

1.  Al Gore and the Buddhist Temple.

2.  Hillary Clinton and John Huang.

3.  Democrats in congress and Abscam.


Thanks for the reminder,  President Fuckstick.  And all of those scandals are pre-McCain Feingold.  Does that not tell us that there were rules against that sort of foreign money before McCain-Feingold?  And wasn't the Supreme Court only dealing with McCain-Feingold?  And doesn't that mean that the laws that were broken during the above scandals are still on the books?

Constitutional Scholar my ass.

145 A luying communist-D on Fox now saying yes we are freezing spending already by ellimintaing the F-22.  Yes, they always like cutting defense.

146 We're in for more of the same failed policies of the last eight months.

147
Didn't President Inherit raise tons of money (illegally) from foreign sources, particularly from Arabs?

148 Can we infer from that speech that card check and cap n' tax are done.

149 So.... "I have never been more hopeful for this country than I am tonight...."??? Shades of Ewok. And not exactly shades of narcissism, more like blatant narcissism. Only because I reign can I be hopeful, only because my exalted self speaks can this country survive. Every time I think he could not give a worse speech, he proves me wrong.

He doesn't know us.  He is not OF us.  He is a stranger in our land,  and in our White House.  We would be better off with Sarkozy running the country."

I'm reposting this because it needs to be reiterated.

Spot on observation, Miss Marple.  There are a bunch of things that bother me about this guy, all of them tangible and easily articulated.

You hit on that intangible part.  There was always something about this guy that bothered me from the first time I heard him speak ('04 Democrat Convention if I recall).

The left would see my reaction as an example of the inherent racism of conservatives.  That was never the case.

Thanks for the post.

One thing about the speech I appreciated: no shout-outs to the human props in the gallery (except MO).

I guess it would have cut into his "me time".

155

I know he probably got used to this in Chicago, but does he really think he can stand up in front of the SUPREME COURT and lie about what they decided and not get called on it? Really?

That makes him look nuts not saavy.

156 Anybody see Frank Lutz's focus group on Sean last night. Funny good.

157 157

Thanks for re-posting that.  Missed it the first time.  Spot on.  Countries are often run into ruin by outsiders who are elevated to positions of leadership.

Hillary skips state of the union?

Interesting.

Pretty obvious where this is headed....

159

Miss Marple, that was absolutely brilliant. If you never post again, I'm always going to remember you for that one!

Thanks...

I didn't watch it either.

Did she really "skip" it or was she the one who was intentionally left out in case some catastrophe wiped out the whole administration?

166

 

No. The skipper has to be in the US and she was in London. HUD sec was the cabinet member in reserve.

Fact Check: How State of Union Compares With Reality

 

Although they soft-soaped this, you have to give AP credit for even discussing it.  They are now calling out a partial list of his lies. Perhaps the long awaited thaw is happening.

168

Didn't he make a bunch of these same promises last year while running? An earmark web site? End of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell'? Didn't he say that last year? More 'transparency'? I seem to recall last year something a stimulus which was going to create jobs? I am surprised that he did not promise to close Guantanamo this year too!

169 Whether you read the original at #111 or the repost at #157, Miss Marple nails it. Read it.

Nicely done, MM.

170 I suspect he's going to save Jimmy from being the worst ex-president ever before he's done.  He should stick to bowling.

You know we're in trouble when the self serving, blame shifting denial was the good part of the speech. 

171 You can see he has no understanding of or connection to the nation he is trying to lead or it's people

According to some schlub congressman-D  from NJ on F&F this morning, last night, Obama finally became the "father of our nation" with his SOTU speech.  Admittedly, I couldn't stomach watching last night, but have caught several clips, along with reading all the live blogging going on.  Even if I had no bias on this man and was hearing and seeing him for the first time, Obama projected such an air of arrogance.  He was the mad dad, the elitist extraordinaire looking down his nose at the masses.  He clearly basks in the limelight...not for the sake of the office itself, but for his own self-image.  As someone stated above, he is not one of us.  He never will be.  A ridiculous, childish, yet frightening man is the leader of this country.  God help us all from this self absorbed buffoon. 

172
Budget cuts will start...... next year!

LOL!

I'm so happy the Republicans in congress laughed at him when dear leader said that.


ooo it really pissed the liar off.

173 One other thing that I noticed.  Why does Pelosi's smile sometimes remind me of Fire Marshal Bill? 

174 It was so good I forgot Chris Matthews was an idiot for about an hour.

175  RIP, "A People's History of the United States"

Last week's essay on the Obama administration's first year, by Howard Zinn, published last week in THE NATION:

"I've been searching hard for a highlight," he wrote, adding that he wasn't disappointed because he never expected a lot from Obama. "I think people are dazzled by Obama's rhetoric, and that people ought to begin to understand that Obama is going to be a mediocre president - which means, in our time, a dangerous president - unless there is some national movement to push him in a better direction."

Like Tea Party Conservatism!

"He taught me how valuable - how necessary dissent was to democracy and to America itself," Ben Affleck said in a statement. "He taught that history was made by the everyman, not the elites. I was lucky enough to know him personally and I will carry with me what I learned from him - and try to impart it to my own children - in his memory."

With Zimm, Ben Affleck's words endorse Alito's response to Obama's latest lies from last night's high school pep rally address for The State of Division.

Thanks, NRO @ The Corner.

176 Picard: ENGAGE. Budget cuts will start...... next year!

177 The SOTU was great. It proved the resiliency of this great nation and how tolerant we are as a people. For only in this great country of ours, could a light-skinned, articulate and non-Negro dialect speaking liberal like Barack Obama be President. Hail to the Chief.

178 McDonnell is taking flak on the left for the diversity of the people sitting behind him. Daily Kos, for instance. IÂ’m told that in the offending screen-shot:

 

Turns out - all those people are members of McDonnell's cabinet.

No matter- KOS keeps lying, like a good little leftwing soldier.

-The white woman is Janet Polarek—Secretary of the Commonwealth

-Above her is Jim Cheng—Secretary of Commerce and Trade

-The soldier is Staff Sargeant Robert Tenpenny, who served with Jeanine -McDonnell in Iraq.

-Above him is Lisa Hick-Thomas—Secretary of Administration

 

-The Secretaries are all McDonnell Cabinet members.

179 This is par for the course.  Any minority Republican is a 'token' in Democrats' minds.  They called Colin Powell a token appointment who deceived the world, right up until he endorsed Obama.

180 Obambie said, "I didn't do a good enough job explaining..." Everyone patriot needs to take a picture of himself with his favorite:AR, 760, 270, pitchfork and send it to the white house with the caption, "Maybe, We The People, didn't do a good enough job explaining...."

181 If it wasn't for Affirmative Action, there would have been a mandate to get GW to serve a third term.

You are wise beyond any sane toddler's years. A+ analysis. Extra credit for not watching your assignment. Personally, I'm wearing a dunce hat for the second part. And I'm now questioning my analytical abilities for not thinking of Jimmy Carter myself

Wait a sec, I hadn't had enough coffee yet. I'm removing my dunce hat, because some inner, wise part of me fell asleep during the SOTU, and I only half assed watched the re-run. So kudos, inner-wise-part-of-me. And I've often said that Bambi is worse than Jimmy Carter, so kudos, past-observation-part-of-me.

My summation of AoSHQ: a blog where no one was dazzled by Bambi's SOTU  rhetoric. My untested guess: no one here buys the bullshit that Bambi's "rhetoric soars" or the bullshit that he's "eloquent." The eloquence part is no more than a B+

183 Miss Marple - Awesome.  Thank you for that.

184 I'll pay attention to the news again after I see a mob with torches and pitchforks storming the White House, and dragging that lunatic - tarred, feathered, kicking and screaming to be lynched from a tree. 

185 Well, he's broken the record for worst president....now he has 3 years to make it untouchable.

186

Miss Marple @ 111

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. This is something I've also been thinking about for a long time. Obama has never been a part of average, middle America. He spent the first half of his childhood in a muslim country, the second half in an elite private school in Hawaii (no offense to Hawaii intended, but it's quite different from flyover country). Then he went on to Columbia U and by his own admission chose to associate with marxists and radicals. After college he went to the south side of Chicago as a community organizer, back to the Ivy League for law school, then back to Chicago to live among liberal elites and left-wing radicals. Attended a nutbar church for 20 years, in his law career he went back into community agitation lawsuits, then went into politics.

It's the main reason that I think he will not move to the center as Clinton did. Clinton, for all of his liberalism, at least understood average, middle America because it's where he came from and where he spent most of his life. Obama has zero connection with average, middle America and it's why he continues to believe that he just has to communicate better to get his point across. He doesn't understand that middle America doesn't want what he's selling because he doesn't understand middle America.

"Is there a usurper upon the Throne?"

"Yes."

"Do you attempt to take your rightful place for the good of the Empire?"

"Yes."

"Will you keep Our Empire safe, hold Our people in your hands, protect them as you would your children, and ensure the continuity of Our line?"

"Yes."

"Then We give unto you Our sword. Bear it under God, to defend the right, to protect Our people from their enemies, to safeguard Our people's liberties, and to preserve Our House."

Preach it Miss Marple, you are over the target.  I'd go a bit further in saying that he isn't just an observer -- he's the very resentful outsider, who, not capable of fitting in, turns angry and bitter, wears a defensive shell of superiority, while managing to get a loyal batch of groupies who make him disdain the larger group even more (those he held in such esteem are really not worthy of my regard and most importantly not to be feared, because look at this group of them that I now have groveling at my feet).

This happens with foreign students sometimes -- usually they either go home despising America (and really, good riddance because they turn into just horridly awful people to be around if they get stuck in this stage) or they get through that stage of adjustment (it is a stage -- happens to all of them to a greater or lesser extent) and learn to cope with America warts and all -- get on the road to acceptance as it were.  The president is stuck in a stage of integration and has never gotten out of it.

He's also gotten stuck in some huge mommy/daddy issues too if you ask me.

Why he wasn't vetted better - well.... Suffice to say, an alltogether dangerous person even if he didn't have a position of power -- an unmitigated disaster as a president.  Howard Zinn may have said the most intelligent thing of his entire life right there, but perhaps for the wrong reason.

189

I'm just bummed I couldn't come up with anything near Miss Marple and I had to resort to cribbing from my favorite sci-fi author of recent years.

Still, I look at that Kenyan Marxist on TV, the Indonesian Idiot, and my subconscious just screams "outsider" and "usurper" at me.

190 At least Jimmy Carter married Roslyn, an attractive woman who spent her time being benevolent instead of political and bitter.  To this day I'm not sure if Barack married Michelle or rescued her from the ASPCA. 

191 There is a precedent for Barack Obama: Playwrite, Eugene O'Neill, warned us about such an egomaniacal, black demagogue and slick con artist in his play, Emperor Jones; a play that politically correct liberals had removed from the bookshelves of libraries. Obama is life imitating art, or something like that. Obama is Emperor Jones. Ain't America grand?

I could not afford to restore it and I could not stand to watch it rust.

It did run like the wind.

Speaking of that pair of loonies ..., when  I was channel surfing a few nights ago, I saw them on a cooking show, at the conclusion of which they presented the chef with a key to the city of Plains, Georgia, 'cause the chef had figured out how to cook grits. Pretty much sums up Jimmy's presidency, doesn't it?

198 What Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter have working for them in their favor is that they are already so ditzy that as they grow older and get dementia, nobody will ever be able to tell.
