Nah, Chance at least had one useful lifeskill, gardening. 0 is nothing more than an affirmative action Marxist.

3 Wait, I thought affirmative action disappeared down the memory hole and replaced by the outright racism of "diversity." Nonetheless, it was good knowing Kaus. I think that his treasonous uttering will be too much to bear for his smug friends and employers.

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

5 It would be nice if that actually happens, but the libs and independents that I know, the ones who should be starting to get it by now, have the Raiders fan view of politics. "My team, right or wrong" They would rather go down with the ship than admit they were wrong. It would take big name libs openly questioning jugears for them to even think it - I just don't see it happening

6 Related:  I think Trump is breaking through an Abilene Paradox w/r/t restricting Obama criticism and starting a preference cascade.  Obama is no longer immune to several criticisms, like consideration of his grades and course work in college, for example.

Only Nixon Trump could go to China there.

7 I don't know, guys. Here we are, sneering at Obama's incompetence, all the time ready to nominate freaking Donald Trump? I thought WE were the grownup party. Heaven help us. Is Trump a closet Democrat?

8 My hyper-liberal uncle once said to me, "Hey, I just wanted to say I voted for a black man for President once in my life".

So, there it is.  Affirmative Action has invaded the general voting public.

I suspect it will be out of a lot of people's systems by the time 2012 rolls around, though.

9 I've noticed that he's lazy and boring. And, I've also notice that I was correct on id'ing him as an athiest true believer that is "a radical true-believing red-diaper baby lefty who is simply convinced that Socialism = Prosperity," type who will simply say ANYTHING at any time to sound good.

10 1 He's Chauncey Gardener. Posted by: profligatewaste at April 15, 2011 05:38 PM (b3rrc) Chauncey liked to watched. Barry likes to ride taxpayers like a Big Red Dog.

Something else that should be glaringly obvious to the 52%'ers is that they were set up by a media that is no longer worthy of being called anything but The Progressive Pravda.

I wonder how many of us Morons have lib friends who are openly expressing regret at their vote for the JEF? That would be as good a preference cascade as anything that could be printed by any of the tongue-bathers.

If he's hyper-liberal he would have voted for any D.....white, black, pink, purple.

13 From the previous dead thread. 

We have had more than enough time to take BO's measure.  He is a fixed quantity now, and an irritant.  Sort of luck a partially chewed bolus you can't quite swallow.  You might have liked the taste at one point, but now you just want it to go away.

One thing in life I appreciate is consistency and discipline. You sir (or lady), are a star to set my compass by.

15
he actually called himself an empty screen on to which people may project their hopes.




Yeah, yeah Ace. I get it. Empty screen - Plato's Parable of the Cave - Cavemen - Monkeys.

And monkeys has two of the letters in "boy". You racist wingnuts sure are clever with your dog whistle codewords.....*snort*.

16 BHO is not a true-true believer (you know... like rape-rape?).

He's a believer who's been in the believer game all his life, literally, and who's recognized HOW to get the true-true believers to do what he needs them to do to validate his narcissistic control issues stemming from unwarranted high self-esteem (which he's never actually validated with any level of, you know, self-respect). Seligman explains precisely why he lashes out when that self-esteem is threatened, like he did the other day

So he plays the part of a true-true believer for those whom he knows will convey unto him the power he needs to fill his narcissistic need to rule. This need is evident in every interaction where his unwarranted high self-esteem is pointed out - like when Ryan demonstrated what an ignoramus he is, back during the health care summit. This little show we saw the other day was little more than retaliation for that. There's really not much else that explains the utterly irrational rhetoric he spewed.

His mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

18 That's a weird thing about Obama -- he sometimes just sort of says stuff like that. Maybe he's got an honest streak somewhere? Or maybe he's just been so coddled and endlessly promoted beyond his abilities that he doesn't realize people should keep things like that to themselves?

I honestly think it's more that he knows what a sham and a joke he is and wants to be exposed so the anxiety of wondering when it will happen will go away.  Sort of like how people feel better when they confess to a crime, even though it means they'll be going away for awhile.

19 That's a weird thing about Obama -- he sometimes just sort of says stuff like that. Maybe he's got an honest streak somewhere? No, dear boy. Arrogance! Have you never conned a mark before on something? If one is a particularly arrogant gritted, it is not merely enough to pull off the con. You also have a burning desire to expose the con to them, knowing they will still buy in like suckers. Well, some might be turned off - there is risk involved - but many, even most, will not be dissuaded. And that's the sweetest of all. But generally, you are not wrong - he IS a true-believing liberal.

20 ace. you ever read Taleb's black swan? the concept of preference cascades reminds me of that

21 ok, and his peacenik appeal. Why'd he bomb libya again? Oh right, he got rolled by some smooth talking eurotrash.

24 >>ace. you ever read Taleb's black swan? You must be new here. Pretty interesting segment on Hardball. Jimmy Breslin was just on talking about Jackie Robinson. He said that during the '10 election he was interviewing some black people on their feelings about Obama. One woman said to him that she just voted for Jackie Robinson. You only get to be the first once.

25 "Well, he's black, so I should studiously scour any and all negative thoughts from my mind, even though he's brought my family and my business little but misery for three years"

Under the language I grew up with, if you're treating the black guy differently than the white guy, you're a racist.

Under the new proggressive re-definition, if you're NOT treating the black guy differently than the white guy, you're a racist.

Words don't go back to their original meanings (try telling someone you feel gay today).  We're fucked.

26 16 BHO is not a true-true believer (you know... like rape-rape?). I thought rape rape was when you absentmindedly call her by your old girlfriend's name as you're ploughing her doggy style?

27 and plowing, too...

28

Raiders Fans x 2.  Good call there, cause I see that with the O supporters I work around and my family, who are lefties.

The family leftys still don't understand the criticism of Carter as fair!  WTH?

I think the lefty progressives will double-down.  They just don't care if it's staring them in the face.  It's all about winning and evil corporations and evil Tea Baggers and gun lovers and ignorant southeners and stupid Texans.

It's class warefare where I'm sitting.  They see themselves as the smartest in the room.  They have it all figured out.  Those that are "conservatives" are ignorant boobs who must be told what to think.

29 His mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. Yeah! Like building stuff & inventing stuff.

32 >>>ce. you ever read Taleb's black swan? the concept of preference cascades reminds me of that Yes I read it and have written about it. They're not really related ideas except that they're both meta-ideas about sudden change. Well, they are related in that preference cascades will often seem like Black Swans, or a Black Swan (like 9/11) can trigger a preference cascasde. And when I say "I've read it" I of course mean I read three or four reviews/synopses of it. Reading books is for the weak.

This is hysterical.

35
the place is full of 'rara avises'

36 But as people begin leaving wait-and-see mode and entering evaluate-and-judge, are they going to keep thinking "Well, he's black, so I should studiously scour any and all negative thoughts from my mind, even though he's brought my family and my business little but misery for three years" or are they going to think, "Gee, maybe I shouldn't have voted for him last time just because he was black. Maybe this time I should ask about his actual accomplishments and qualifications, apart from his general resemblance to a mash-up of a Heroic Young Crusader played by Will Smith and a Gentle Older Sage played by Morgan Freeman."

Most Americans are rational enough to be at the "Reverse Otter" position now: "We fucked up -- we trusted you."

Also known as Scotty's Rule of Starship Command: "Fool me once, shame on you -- fool me twice, shame on me."

Me and my old man were putting up some "lectric" fence one time and his bird dog (which was a damn genius by dog standards) raised his leg and pissed on the wire. Well, he was being shocked and was whining but he kept pissing on that fence, unable to make the connection to his actions and the pain he was feeling.

The JEF supporters remind me of that dog. I wish I could remember his name.

47 That's a weird thing about Obama -- he sometimes just sort of says stuff like that. Maybe he's got an honest streak somewhere? Or maybe he's just been so coddled and endlessly promoted beyond his abilities that he doesn't realize people should keep things like that to themselves?

Obama understands one interesting fact about the new media age: people can filter out news they don't want to hear much more easily.  Once upon a time, if Walter Cronkite said it, everyone in America heard it.  Nowadays, it's possible for a sound bite to be put up on a web site where everyone in the world has the ability to hear it, yet never be heard by more than a few people.  Unlike the push model that used to apply when TV and newspapers could force news stories on the public, we live in much more of a pull world in which the public chooses what news and information to consume.

So Obama can tell the truth in unguarded moments and tell different audiences diametrically different things (e.g., what he told the Israeli Knesset and the Palestinians about the status of Jerusalem) and know that there won't necessarily be widespread fallout.  People nowadays can hear pretty much only what they want to hear.

48 45 WE NEED TO FIELD A CANDIDATE THAT CAN BEAT HIM. I bet Sarah Jessica Parker could put him through his paces!

49 My hyper-liberal uncle once said to me, "Hey, I just wanted to say I voted for a black man for President once in my life".

I voted for one in 2000.  So this makes me better than him, since he never voted for any of the black men in the primaries, right?

(Iowa Caucus. No one impressed me that year. I don't know if I'd do it again, but it makes a good story.)

When I first started reading about Taleb's black swan it reminded me of the "Mule" character from the Foundation trilogy.

When the MSM finally takes off the affirmative action goggles and stops pretending she's glamorous and beautiful, only then will they be ready to acknowledge BHO's not the smartest man alive.

Never happen, ever.

61 The Bacon Lady has a red light story up.

62 I'm beginning to think the the "Affirmative Action Socialist" label is giving him too much credit. Seriously. We're talking about someone who hasn't a single, legitimate accomplishment or coherent thought to his credit in his entire life. I think that he's nothing more than the world's most fabulously successful marketing gimmick. The only one who has been duped more than his raving fans around the world is he himself. He's what the New Kid's on the Block, Britney Spears, and American Idol type marketing campaigns have evolved into. He's not even a Manchurian Candidate, since that would require intent and organization that is clearly not present. He's simply a byproduct of decades of people who wanted to see how much personal gain they could get out of foisting a talentless imbecile on the public. He cannot even claim the intelligence of Britney Spears or the boy bands that came before him, since even they knew enough to occasionally doubt or at least be awed by their press clippings. No, Obama is the perfect imbecile, who's entire self image has been shaped by fallacy and who has no potential whatsoever of understanding that he is a worthless, talentless, fraud who is incapable of even understanding what he claims as his own core beliefs.

64 President Peter Principle is more swallowable for my indy and lefty friends than President Affirmative Action. His whole life has been an exercise in failing UP.

65 That guy from the Weekly Standard who appears on the Brett Baier show, steven hayward? is that it? sort of hinted that Paul Ryan may run for president. I took it that way, anyway. I don't know if he's just speculating or wischasting or he's hearing things.

66 How many of you suckers feel good about getting some of your money back?

Yeah, me too.

67

This, in my opinion, is another aspect of Obama's success that is and, has been to me, utterly baffling.

Everything that is Obama might as well have been posted on every billboard on the country.  His past, is friendships, his affiliations, his ideologies, even the emptiness of his character - and nobody chose to believe any of it.  He even declared before in his life and even during the campaign that, in so many words, he was a radical. 

The very iconography of the campaign screamed "no more America!" 
And nobody believed that he meant it.  It was as if he went face to face with each individual American and told them to their faces, "I will bring this country down," and they said in turn, "Nah.  That's not you.  That's just what you want me to believe!"

Nobody should be surprised by the revelation that Obama is who he is.

He told us.

68 Ace es en fuego. 

I sent you 20 bucks.  Drink up.

69 @69: the problem with Ryan is, not enough experience. Sure I think he'll be president - in about 12 years maybe. The leadership of the GOP needs to find some able bodied serious candidates ASAP. This crap with Trump is handing over the election to Obama.

70 He's what the New Kid's on the Block, Britney Spears, and American Idol type marketing campaigns have evolved into. He's not even a Manchurian Candidate, since that would require intent and organization that is clearly not present.

Soros? ACORN? Putin? DNC? GE?

Someone staged and funded the mass marketing campaign...why do that if you're not getting something out of it?

71 I couldn't care less what the lefties think of him, its that middle-middle piece of indies that I care about, that 5% in enough electoral vote states, the ones with scales over their eyes.  When will those scales drop, have they already?  Based on last Nov, I think they may have.

72 yeah, we need that fired CNN reporter to come on here and lecture us how much obama is doing for us by borrowing money to give to us via public sector union thugs.

73 56 - yes, that is why I have always said he should have just gone for video rap star like JayZ.  I think this is why they take so many vacations so they can be treated like royalty.  I don't believe he cares about America at all - it is always just about him.

74 Hooked on Affirmative Action worked for me!

77 This gets into my point about Obama and polling. Race undeniably helped Obama. This is also obvious.

This probably also has a lot to do with there being no questions about his background along the way.

78

Hayes. I sure as hell hope not. I want him working 8 days a week 25 hours a day getting that budget passed.

A lot of people found that stuff attractive. Especially since he was promising to give them free shit.

81

I think his name might have been Timber.

A good friend of mine lost his trained attack dog, Jabba the Mutt, last summer. Half German shepherd, half Rottie, weighed more than me. Smartest dog I've ever had the privelege to know. He could lock and unlock a deadbolt whenever he wanted to.

He almost killed an ex-girlfriend whom I stupidly brought over to help me feed him while his owner was out of town. She worked in a vet's office, but had never been around any police dogs, so she was a little bit, shall I say, overconfident. She had not been properly introduced to the aforementioned attack dog, (did I mention he was a trained attack dog?) who proceeded to run me over to go after her throat. I yelled at him and he stopped cold, and sat with a look on his face like, "What did I do?"

She tinkled herself, just a little bit.

I miss Jabba.

82

people told me around election time that I wouldn't vote for the zerO because he was black. I would then tell them the only reason they were voting for himis because he was black. They would then get their skivies all in a twist

92 @HeatherRadish Oh, I agree with you. Each of the organizations you listed, and more, have moved their agendas along and gotten A LOT out of it. I think that they've actually gotten more than expected, alas why I made a distinction between him and a Manchurian Candidate. Would you pick a goofy, drug addict, failure who's only work history is community organizing as your lynchpin to global domination? I wouldn't. No, I think the success of President Boyband is a surprise, even to the agencies that created that created this Frankenstein Monster.

30 bucks headed your way Ace good stuff all week

{Tips pretentious micro-brew in Ace's general direction.}

105 So, how many federal court orders has the current administration defied to date?

The courts can't/won't restrain him.  Obama and his allies routinely dehumanize their opponents both in public and in the dark alleyways of political warfare.

He's a shape-shifter, and a brilliant one - both savior and destroyer, depending on the topic du jour.  All for one purpose, and that purpose has nothing to do with the best interests of the people of the United States of America.

As an example, the Obamites were so concerned with the propriety of Obama's oath of office that they demanded that Chief Justice Roberts  administer it twice, yet any request for proof of birth in the United States is ridiculed as nonsense.

As far as I'm concerned, Obama was born in Hawaii.  If the bona fides are good enough for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, etc., etc,.  But it is still fascinating as to what lengths (and for what purposes) the current president will insist on precise adherence to law, while using the regulatory steamroller to crush the life out of the Constitution.

106

Ace, you always write good stuff. Insightful, and usually with an angle that I, being the great objectivist that I am, usually miss.

Keep it up.

107

Or maybe he's just been so coddled and endlessly promoted beyond his abilities that he doesn't realize people should keep things like that to themselves?

He keeps doing this. Like complaining about not being able to take a walk, while skipping Camp David and going to Hawaii and Brazil.

108
Rich and compelling.

109 ...or Preference Defilades And Forbidden Panzerfausts.

...or It Really Sucks When You Sneak Up Behind Him And Your Rocket Bounces Off Of That Supposedly Critically Weak Rear Armor.

110 yeah, it would be funny to run Ryan against Obama in 2012 just for the debate where Ryan does his thing and Obama does his death stare of stupidity. "Mr. President, in your April 13th speech where you said I wanted to kill grandma, you sort of misled the audience when you said ..."

111 me @116, think about such a debate. Listening to Ryan's response on Levin, slicing like a hammer. "we put out a plan...and it's looking like he wasn't leading."

112 The day anybody takes the presidential oath of office for the first time, he is by definition inexperienced.  That's because he's never done this job before.  You can argue that somebody with 20 years of Congressional experience is more qualified, and you can argue that someone with almost no political experience is qualified.

In my view, Obama, Biden, McCain, and Palin were all equally inexperienced in that area with respect to being president.

To address (maybe buttress) Ace's point, I think the best candidate is the one whose philosophical approach is the most sensible overall.  I suspect that's why the founding fathers required the president to be at least 35 years old.

I could be wrong, but since Ronald Reagan is the only example I can think of in my lifetime to prove or disprove that, I doubt that I'm that far off.

Without AOS I wouldn't just be alone Mon-Fri, I'd be lonely, too.
and,not nearly as educated.

114 OK, so if I've got this right.....

The conclusion to be drawn  is that Liberals/Progressives are getting mugged by reality........the emperor has no clothes! 

It's a process argument, but fuck me raw, it made me laugh!

This provides an intellectual argument for the progressive intelligentsia to throw Obama under the bus.  Obama is one step from political implosion.

AWW its an Ace A Palooza

Heh. Reading about us hobo slaughterers cured you of that notion, didn't it.

119 Trump actually is the most qualified person to run the United States in these trying times. He has successfully bankrupted several companies while keeping his personal money and brand intact. He lets the suckers that lent him money be the dupe holding the bag. Who would you want to deal with our bankers, i.e. the Chinese? You think Sarkozy and Cameron could roll Trump to get him to bomb Libya?

120 Dark have been my dreams of late.

121 Don't listen to them Master. Their words are but seething deceit.

122 There's an explanation as to why his misses being anonymous. Yeah dipshit, we've notice how you fuck up a lot and are no longer willing to let it ride.

123 noticed. It is so annoying to post, see you fucked up, and try to make a correction but you can't take it back.

124 Obama is living an insulated life that appears to be entirely managed by the "Make A Wish Foundation".  I was sorta surprised last week, that he didn't crash the Master's ceremony for ice cream, and a coveted "Green Jacket" ...for his golfing awesomeness, of course.

125 Ace, you could'a found the link by searching your own blog. That's how I always find it.  It's here: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/070415.php

Preference cascades are exactly why I've shifted from the panting, "we have to win, even if we don't like our candidate" column, to the "Not me, not anymore. I'm voting for someone who will turn this ship around" column.

The simple math on preference cascades is that if everyone said the same damn thing, we'd get a candidate WORTH voting for.

Going in that booth and pressing the "screw me some more" lever, hoping for a different result is truly insane.

126 I'm not one to join in on the game of ragging on Obama for the sake of ragging on Obama.  That is the kind of crap the leftards and their puppets played with Bush.

That being said, the man is (as someone else mentioned already) a true-believing red diaper baby.  But what is worse, he's and INCOMPETENT true believing red diaper baby.

I don't think this is a coincidence though.  To actually believe in Marxism requires cognitive deficits that preclude competence, except perhaps as an idiot savant of some sort ala Pablo Picasso.

People who are possessed of common sense and well-rounded competence aren't leftists.  Some of them might think they are and even claim that they are as they strive to find in leftist ideology some semblance of truth that they can work with, but that isn't the same thing.

To be a leftist is to be incompetent because it is a world view and an ideology that is founded on intellectual dishonesty and an inability to understand the world as it actually is and people as we actually are.

Leftists are particularly blind to the concept of cause and effect.  They get lost when trying to track a course of events from cause to one or more effects.  They just can't do it.  They think that a change in one area won't have any carry on effects in other areas.  More than that, they want to make proclamations of how things should be and expect the universe to alter itself in compliance.  Wishcasting is one of their primary pastimes.  This is the behavior of infants and young children, not competent adults.

They are also ignorant of human nature, both good and bad, and ascribe motivations to people that are rarely accurate.  This is why they are always first to cede authority to those who personify the worst of human nature simply because they say the right things at the right time. 

The only thing that men and women who would live free can do is work each day to reveal their folly and resist their nonsense, unfazed by their name calling and verbal harassment. 

Don't be afraid to be called a racist.  For a leftist to brand you as such is a high honor because it means you represent a truth they cannot refute.

127 From the previous dead thread. 

We have had more than enough time to take BO's measure.  He is a fixed quantity now, and an irritant.  Sort of luck a partially chewed bolus you can't quite swallow.  You might have liked the taste at one point, but now you just want it to go away.

128 Ace, very good post.  He's a college socialist who rode his "diversity" of appearance and values all the way to Mecca, baby!

But its really not about him, is it? Its about the folks who promoted him--all  69.4mm of them. Suggestions?

129 Yes, taking his diversity credit and pushing as much wealth redistribution as he thinks he can possibly get away with.  He believes this is right for America.  I don't doubt that. 

130 There's also this -- I voted for David Dinkins for mayor of New York a number of years ago. He was the first black mayor the city's ever had. I looked at the guy, and he seemed like a gentleman, not a thug like Sharpe James, and I thought, "Well, the blacks should have a turn at the wheel. Maybe they'll be less resentful if we deal them in more. This guy seems okay."

Dinkins ran a fairly moderate campaign, but as soon as he was in office, he started pandering to the most rancid elements of the black community, and was too afraid of pissing them off to enforce the law. Crime skyrocketed.

New Yorkers were pissed off, and didn't re-elect him. I bet a lot of people were like me: once in the voting booth for the second election, we thought, "Well, I made my demonstration and did my bit for racial harmony. I don't have to prove how broadminded I am any more. And boy, did he suck as mayor."

I'll lay you odds that a lot of Americans are going to be thinking that in 2012. Especially if we can get a good Republican candidate out there, one who will take the fight to the enemy.

Donald Trump right now is playing the harassing, flanking role of cavalryman Jubal Early in the War Between the States. What we need is a good General Lee.

131 If affirmative action is so great, how in the hell did we wind up with Obama?

132 CODDELED He is the poster child for social promotion.

133 The light worker becomes the lite worker. 

Seriously, Al Sharpton could probably do the job better, and I'm damn sure wily old Charlie Rangel could.  Charlie maybe crooked as a cork screw, but stupid he ain't.
