— Ace Some damn fine vituperatin' from Dorothy Rabinowitz.
[I]t was clear from the first that this president—single-minded, ever-visible, confident in his program for a reformed America saved from darkness by his arrival—was wanting in certain qualities citizens have until now taken for granted in their presidents. Namely, a tone and presence that said: This is the Americans' leader, a man of them, for them, the nation's voice and champion. Mr. Obama wasn't lacking in concern about the oil spill. What he lacked was that voice—and for good reason....
A great part of America now understands that this president's sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs. He is hard put to sound convincingly like the leader of the nation, because he is, at heart and by instinct, the voice mainly of his ideological class. He is the alien in the White House, a matter having nothing to do with delusions about his birthplace cherished by the demented fringe.
...
It is a White House that has focused consistently on the sensitivities of the world community—as it is euphemistically known—a body of which the president of the United States frequently appears to view himself as a representative at large.
It is what has caused this president and his counterterrorist brain trust to deem it acceptable to insult Americans with nonsensical evasions concerning the enemy we face. It is this focus that caused Mr. Holder to insist on holding the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in lower Manhattan, despite the rage this decision induced in New Yorkers, and later to insist if not there, then elsewhere in New York. This was all to be a dazzling exhibition for that world community—proof of Mr. Obama's moral reclamation program and that America had been delivered from the darkness of the Bush years.
...
They are attitudes to be found everywhere, but never before in a president of the United States. Mr. Obama may not hold all, or the more extreme, of these views. But there can be no doubt by now of the influences that have shaped him. They account for his grand apology tour through the capitals of Europe and to the Muslim world, during which he decried America's moral failures—her arrogance, insensitivity. They were the words of a man to whom reasons for American guilt came naturally. Americans were shocked by this behavior in their newly elected president. But he was telling them something from those lecterns in foreign lands—something about his distant relation to the country he was about to lead.
The truth about that distance is now sinking in, which is all to the good. A country governed by leaders too principled to speak the name of its mortal enemy needs every infusion of reality it can get.

Careful Ms. Rabinowitz. You may wake up one fine morning to a horse's head on your pillow.
So do we now get to put the asterisk next to his name in the history books??

She's on the editorial board at WSJ.
She also is the reporter behind exposing the abusive prosecution in the Fells Acres (Amirault) case. This hit the news during the Brown/Coakley contest because Coakley was involved in that prosecution.

You know what sucks the most about Retarded Barry?
I knew he'd be terrible, but I didn't even imagine that he had it in him to do over 90% of the shit he's done since taking office.
I voiced my concerns about the other 10% only to people I trust completely because I knew it sounded batshit crazy at the time.

Yeah I think, for example, most of us kind of expected a Clintonesque foreign policy. You know a little bit of apology and stuff. Not the full blown anti-americanism he's demonstrated in his speeches. And then there's the bowing to foreign leaders. Insulting and backstabbing our allies. Its like think of what you don't want a president to do and then he does it.

and we're still saddled with how many more days of him?
@10 I'm with you on that -- I knew it would be bad, but never thought it would be this bad, and he's only halfway through (which makes me a tad nervous about just where the bottom of bad is going to finally go).
The truly sad thing is that there are still Americans who support and defend him to the hilt, still think he is the "lightworker". That kool aide is some powerful stuff.

Pretty sure that Ms. Rabinowitz won the Pulitzer for her writing re: the Amirault (sp?) case. She has always been one of my favorite writers at the WSJ. She didn't come right out and say it, but in the article, her discussion on the "Bust of Churchill" and President Wonce seems to have really put her off.

I'll never forget what it was like initially reading Rabinowitz's stories on the Amirault case: Journalism at its most powerful, of which she's almost a sole practitioner. After reading any of them I had to walk around a bit to calm down, both from wondering "how can this be happening in my country" and "why is she the only one talking about this". Fortunately some attorneys had the same reaction and acted accordingly to secure Gerald Amirault's partial freedom; the gutless Massaholits fucks still have him registered as a sex offender and he has to wear a tracking device. Piss on all the cocksuckers who railroaded him, particularly Scott Harshbarger most recently defending those ACORN turds.
She also writes on television every other week in the WSJ's friday entertainment section, in which her opinions are almost always spot-on.

What US president Barack Obama did this week was to go back to his confrontational posture against the Israeli prime minister, at the very moment that Israeli leaders had their backs to the wall against a worldwide onslaught over the flotilla incident orchestrated from Ankara and Tehran.
Washington has now set its face on a new track: salvaging its ties with Turkey by burning the Netanyahu government.

It's like reflexive genuflection. In this case, though, it's counterproductive because there is insufficient public evidence that settles the matter either way.
As I said before, the right needs to leave the birther door open because that may be the only way to extricate the country from a fuck-it-all lame duck session that rams through cap-and-tax, a VAT, card-check, and all kinds of other craziness that we cannot even begin to imagine.
They forced Obamacare on the country against strong popular opposition. As of Monday, Rasmussen finds 58% supporting repeal and 35% opposed to repeal. What does this tell you about how much stock they put into the consent of the governed?

This disloyal criminal birther is becoming monsterious intolerable. This whole matter has already been put to rest! Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod have both given their highest personal assurance that they have seen the Divine OneÂ’s actual long form Certification of Live Immaculate Conception and in Holy Script! Rahm Emanuel saw it from one hospital and David Axelrod saw it from another one! Twice the absolute incontrovertible proof! I donÂ’t know what more any sane person could possibly want! Besides the Queen of Hearts says that she thinks he has cute ears and looks so sexy in his mom jeans so that would settle the matter right there anyway.
Members of the jury and the honorable Mr. Ace, the prisoner at the bar, one progressoverpeace, stands accused of engaging in a vile and mass conspiracy of trying to goad Barack Obama, our Dear Leader with the Certification of Live Immaculate Conception from no less than two locations, and at lest two parents of unquestionable American loyalties and birthage, into a game of COLB, thereby and with malice of forethought, molesting, tormenting, and otherwise annoying our beloved Dear Leader and all his loyal subjects. Sentence first. Verdict afterwards. Off with his head!

but she makes the mistake of thinking that this is ideological to The Precedent. It isn't. It's cultural. He is a third worlder who has the metnality of the third world, which includes his burning desire to exact revenge on the US and the West for having shamed 'his people' with our freedom, creativity, productivity and advancement. The Precedent sees himself as the avenging angel of the third world, brought to rain pain and destruction on the US - not to affect any great ideological change.
He uses leftist ideology only because there are many useful idiots in the US who will jump on that specific mechanism for destroying our nation, but The Precedent cares little for leftist ideology, itself. He made this perfectly clear when he said, during a primary debate, that he would still raise capital gains taxes, even if it was assumed that it would reduce receipts to the government. The Indonesian said that it was more a matter of "fairness" - i.e. revenge. He didn't care about getting more money, ostensibly for the poor, but only bringing pain to the wealthy and successful.
Guy Fawkes mentioned the key above. It's not just that he's an alien to American culture and sensibilities, but that he is actively hostile to, and hateful of, us and our institutions and traditions. Rabinowitz will move towards this in the next few months, I'm sure. This article was an excellent first step, though.
Eventually, I would bet that Rabinowitz comes into contact with the simple and obvious fact that the very idea of dual citizens was abhorrent to the Founders and that there was no way they included American dual citizens in their classification of 'natural born citizens'.

Yeah. I forgot to add it, but some of the clearest examples of how divorced from ideology The Precedent is was seen in how he let Congress take total control of all the "ideological" legislation and go hog wild. That made it pretty clear that The Precedent didn't care what passed, or if anything passed. He only wanted to gum up and ruin the legislative processes (which he did, spectacularly) and that, if the crap bills passed (which he had almost nothing to do with in the design) that would just be gravy for leading the US to ruin. It's almost comical to look back on how he knew nothing about the bills he was shilling for in those hundreds of interviews and stump speeches.

Kind of.

You hit the nail on the head. He was acculturated as an Indonesian, which makes sense since that is where he spent the bulk of his formative years. The toxic combination between doing pretty much all of his elementary school in post-coup Indonesia and the rabid commies who surrounded him for his entire life, there is almost nothing American that he ever seems to have come into contact with. This was readily apparent by all of the odd, un-American mistakes and gaffes that he makes. He has shown an inability to understand many normal, American idiomatic expressions, and he has made silly mistakes that no American would make - like the '57 states' idiocy. The list of such examples is pages and pages long, which is why it was so impressive that the MFM could just ignore it all.
In the end, though, I'm convinced that most of America understood this and, in the throes of a psychotic break brought on by the credit crisis, actively decided to end it all by declaring national suicide with the election of this un-American, retarded third worlder who hates us and our nation. For many, our national suicide was the ultimate penitance being paid for their illusory guilt and imposing psychosis.

While the credit crisis may have spooked many (I was in full frontal freak out but never thought Barry would handle it better than McCain), I do think many, many Americans were hoping for some level of absolution for our nation's original sin by electing him. I think many non-minority Americans wanted to show their fellow citizens that we are not racists. If that vote means people like Lt. Col. Allen West feel like they can be elected to high office, the people who voted for Obama, while causing us short term pain, may have unwittingly saved this country for the next several generations. Obama's election represents the death throes of entitlement socialism.

It was her support of Spitzer's licenses for illegals in one of the debates that doomed her. That was it. She won every actual primary election (the Indonesian Imbecile only won caucuses) but her numbers dove after that debate and the superdelegates held all the power in the Dems, anyway. Her mention also killed Spitzer, whose approval rating went, overnight, from something like 70% to under 40% as people learned that he was trying to give illegals drivers licenses.
That was pretty much the last time that illegals were mentioned in the campaigns (primary and general).

For what it's worth, I don't think it's that bad. You cannot forget that the overwhelming majority of the lefty base don't really "understand" politics. Their views and votes are controlled by operant conditioning.
There was a huge contingent on the right who couldn't bring themselves to vote for McCain because he put precious little daylight between himself and Obama.
There was another chunk of otherwise-GOP voters who cast votes for Obama because of the color of his skin. A lot of these were boomers whose impressions of civil rights were formed when the movement was still about combating injustice instead of today's movement that works tirelessly to impose injustice.
I think that McCain threw the damned election for whatever reason.
In spite of all of this, Obama won by a measly six percentage points.
The brainwashed will stick with Obama, but many of the people who outsourced their votes to conditioned party identification, cast "protest" votes for whatever reason, or stayed the hell home will be voting against Obama this fall. And yes, I said "against Obama this fall" because that will be the central issue in every race for the midterms.

The one thing that took me completely by surprise was the size of the porkulus. I still cannot believe that they piled that much spending on top of the already mind-boggling TARP.
Another thing is that I was uncomfortable with saying aloud that he shows very little love for this country even though I knew it was true. It sounded like crazy talk to me back then. Nowadays, the question is whether there is a limit on how much contempt he has for America.

Now we are engaged in a great battle, testing whether this nation, or any nation so burdened, and so assaulted, can long endure. We are met here on a great internet battlefield, with compatriots in the Tea Party Freedom Movement rallies, compatriots on the radio waves and Spartan Warriors in the Great State of Arizona, of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of our lives in honor of our forefathers who dedicated their lives that this nation might live vigorous and free.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
It is for us, the living, to be dedicated to the restoration of freedom, liberty, rule of law, progress and sanity which our Founders so nobly brought about. It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they so long ago gave the full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that our Founding Fathers shall not have labored in vain; that this nation shall have a rebirth of freedom and responsibility; and that this government will once again be of the people, by the people, for the people, and that we will not allow abominations like Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and their gang of quislings to cause it, and it’s shinning light, to perish from the Earth.

That's certainly true, but I think they knew that this was not just a regular affirmative action vote. They knew that this was a death vote. I'm very much convinced of that. People knew about Rev Wright. They knew about Bill Ayers. They knew about tons and tons of stuff.
The difference was that, after the credit crisis, people understood full well that this election wasn't about screwing around. They understood that this nation was sitting on the precipice and could very easily be pushed over, which every policy embraced by BHO was directed towards - as with his idiocy about the Constitution and how the Warren Court wasn't radical or how he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry, etc.

I understand your point but I don't think that an affirmative action vote had anything to do with people like Col. West. I think he might have been moved towards seeking office by seeing how un-American and destructive The Precedent is and what serious danger the US is in. Other than that, I highly doubt that West ever doubted his ability to run a good race and possibly win - even in the district he's in. But he knows how serious and important it is for people like him to get into office, now. Serious defenders of America.

For America is losing sleep
ItÂ’s time to break the spell
Who is Allen West and what is he up to, do tell?
Rumor has it heÂ’s a cannoneer
HeÂ’s a reckless buccaneer
I hear he carries several guns with many clips
HeÂ’s the annihilator of Muslim creeps with information on their lying at
his fingertips
They say heÂ’s nearly seven feet tall
And yet quite gracefulÂ…all in all
IÂ’m told there are lightning bolts when he walks
And thunder when he talks
Is he vulgarian or sleek?
Just what does he seek?
I hear heÂ’s steely as you please
I hear heÂ’s really Japanese
He may be shrewd
He may be rude
Ah well, itÂ’s hard to tell
Who is this Allen West, do tell?
The Muslims may think he comes from hell
But he may come from somewhere just around the dell
But he will be here and he will be there
You could see him giving Islam Hell most any time and most anywhere
He meddles with the Islamic Devolution
Stomping them mightily throughout each week
Spoiling every ImamÂ’s lying elocution
La, what cheek!

rabidfox @ 80: May I add that for everything long-term and important, Chris Dodd has been getting everything he wants and he been getting none of what he doesn't want?
In regards real financial reform, regulations disguised as financial reform, wealth-transfer laws disguised as stimulus, all of the bailed-out companies and all of the bialed-out companies' workers, Chris Dodd has in effect been our Republic's dictator.

Heh, heh.
-->The MFM did their very best to make sure all of these points were buried under imagery of greek columns and swooning crowds.
For sure. The MFM hid a lot. And they realize that America has a very short attention span, and almost no short-term memory, these days. That's true. But I just can't get past things like the Berlin cfampaign stop. I can't believe that any American (real American) didn't look at that and think, "WTF is a US Presidential candidate doing stumping in a foreign nation? Isn't that illegal or something?"
-->McCain had chances to go for the jugular in each of the three debates. He chose not to.

Yeah. He sucked as badly as anyone could possibly suck. He had the winning side of the credit crisis debate but refused to take it - instead, unleashing that idiotic idea during the debate to use TARP funds to pay everyone's mortgage, which left most people's jaws on the ground. It is hard to express how deeply I despise McShame, especially since he understood how much power had just been handed to the Executive branch after the credit crisis and the TARP insanity and how much more important it was, than ever, to have someone in that office who actually cared about America and could be trusted.
During the election, I described it as the most frivolous of campaigns during the most consequential of times.

The Kos types bombed the caucus States. It is easy for a very active small group to take over those kinds of meetings. Look at what the Paulbots do with the votes at all the conservative conventions.
Then the real killer was the Super Delegates. Each super delegate vote counted many times the value of the normal delegates.
If I am not mistaken all the super delegates went to Obama.
As I said, the fix was in. Even the MFM was behind Obama. It was funny to see the Clintons on the receiving end of that shit for a change.

@63: "The Democrat primary process is screwed up worse than the Republicans."
Obligatory two word rebuttal: John McCain.

FIFY
There is no way on Earth that a woman raised in the South who commits a birthday card-related gaffe is in any way, shape, or form a "lady."

Oh, thanks Dorthy. I love being called names. Why don't you make up some shit for the reason the birth certificate is hidden and then call me some more names because your made up shit just proves I'm a knuckle dragging racist with bad body odor and fleas. How would you like a nice demented flea sharing hug?

Even though I knew Odummy would be terrible, I enjoyed the red-nosed predator and the glacier in pantsuits getting ass-fucked by the MFM idiots that helped him get elected previously.

Is B+rry going to have him for dinner at the White House?
You KNOW what I mean.

B+rry's Dad was a Kenyan national. That makes B+rry ineligible for POTUS. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

If he didn't want it in his office, it could have been sent to storage, moved to Statuary Hall in the Capitol, placed in another room in the White House, loaned to Joe Biden, placed in Blair House, or any one of a hundred other choices.
Instead, with much fanfare, he sent it back. It was a rejection of British friendship, and more than that, a rejection of the West, for Churchill is one of the giants in modern Western history.
All that he does is geared to destroy this nation. The Gulf Coast states are the latest victims. He is purposefully dragging his feet on acting, because the more that livelihoods are destroyed, the happier he is.
Everything he dos is destructive. The stimulus was allowed to be so large because he knew it would cause trouble for our economy. The best health care system in the world is to be destroyed. Mines will be shuttered with his Cap and Trade.
I repeat what I said before: He will not be happy until we are all wandering barefoot in rags across the countryside, fighting with dogs for scraps, and huddling in the dark and cold.
I believe he is evil.

Obama's policies are clearly designed to boost that 52% higher and higher.
His healthcare legislation was clearly sneaky, back-door reparations for certain minorities, a means to enslave them via their dependencies.
His determination to redistribute the wealth is clearly intended to attain and to consolidate power via a coalition of minorities, each with its own self-serving agendas, which will, collectively, become the majority; a majority comprised of a coalition of creeps, losers, misfits, fools, psychos, retards and perverts.
The abolishment of political parties to institute a one party system in California is clearly a trial balloon to see if people are gullible enough, stupid enough and apathetic enough to let it fly.
His alienation of democracies around the world is clearly intended to isolate us from the rest of the world until he can consolidate his power, and the list of his insideous schemes goes on and on.
It was an understatement when Miss Marple said that he is "evil". He is the most dangerous threat that this country has ever faced.

This is what was at the heart of the birther thang, at least for those that focus on the procedure of the requirement, and the purpose behind it, external from the Bamster - he does not identify as an American. To put this in a way a lawyer like Barry would understand, he sees himself as a neutral arbitrator (judge) between America and X (Iran, China, etc.) rather than counsel for America, acting in OUR best interest. So, he comes out the gate with apologies from us for our behavior, how bad we are, etc. and UNDERMINES our position, when he should be strengthening it. See, being the parents of commies, being raised Muslim early in life (he admitted this post-election) and being mentored by radical commie US haters (Frank Marshall Davis), and attending the church of said people (Rev. Wright), tend to make ya like that.
That's why the Constitution requires natural born citizenship - so you grew up as an American with an American mindset. Granted, that's harder to do these days due to international travel, where you can drop from the tw@t in the US and 2 months later be raised for 18 years in Kenya or Iran, etc. But the underlying theory is sound.
The problem for Barry - how do you lead a nation you are ashamed of? Simple - you lead it off a cliff.
I also disagree that it Barry is "too principled" - he's disillusioned, or delusional and misinformed.

Yes, exactly, that is the way to go with natural born citizenship in the future. Can make it more than 30 (35?)
