Removing your appendix through your ear is real hard, but it's not the right way to do it.

Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama Jones is our dysfuntional Chief Executive, who tries REAL HARD. For about 6 hours a day. Then he gets a little wee-weed up and needs a drink or something.

It makes you wonder how he got through college, and Law School, doesn't it?

37 Nice soundbite, but of course he's referring to "trying" to get the Rs to reach around across the aisle. I think it's more significant that he always looks small and unpresidential when he's not standing behind a huge podium with the Prez seal on it, and a couple teleprompters on both sides.

It is reminiscent of that great Statesman, William Jefferson Clinton, who three weeks into his first term in 1993 claimed that he had "worked harder than he had in his whole life" to try and "fix" the budget, but that now he "had to raise taxes". Just like GHWB claimed he would in 1992 and Billy Jeff claimed he wouldn't.

I frankly don't know how we can afford four more years of BHO "trying his best" and coming up a crapper in the process.

40 For most folks, "I tried hard" ceased cutting any mustard when they got to high school. Truly, Barry is so far over his head, he'd get the bends if he actually did the job he was elected to do.

"I was gonna try hard, but then I got high ..."

Yo, 'Choom: Did you know that "bath salts" aren't even illegal yet in all 50 states?

How about finding some time in your busy schedule for dealing with the our nascent face-eating zombie apocalypse?

Maybe before the CDC runs out of fuel and the whole building gets blown up when the mainframe computer ignites the fuel-air bomb and we have to try to escape Hotlanta in a beat-up old Winnebago?

Thanks!

Dude, that's kinda harsh for the poor fellow who just reads the scripts off the teleprompter.

I'd reserve that kinda punishment for the folks who actually WRITE the scripts [Axelrod, Sunstein, Kagan, Ayers, and their ilk].

As above, the Jug-Eared Fool is simply the quota hire who is doing the quota job that he was hired to do [namely, reading the scripts, as above].

82 51 - Agreed, but the thing is, the Senate pretty much works that way with both parties. They reach around across the aisle on both sides. In a way, what Obama is saying, even if he doesn't realize it, is that Rs being in control of the House is his biggest problem. Even with the "leadership" that exists there.

"Whose name will be on the ballot in Nov?"

You know, when you think about it, "Barack Hussein Obama" isn't really much more than a name.

His "autobiography" was invented out of thin air by William Ayers.

His only claim to having worked in the private sector ["behind enemy lines"] was actually for a CIA front company.

He was given a quota job at UChig Law School with the understanding that it was a cosmetic deal which would allow him to run for higher office.

The three or four essays which we know to be his and his alone [not written for him by Ayers or Favreau or Axelrod] are riddled with really embarrassing grammar errors [especially considering that he was supposed to have been "President" of Harvard Law Review].

For about 15 years, he allowed his literary publicist to claim that he was born in Kenya.

We don't know which country's passport he travelled on when he went to Pakistan, in 1981.

And now we have credible reports that he's been using a Connecticut Social Security Number all these years.

What do we really know about this guy, other than a name?

And what is his real "name", anyway?

Barack Obama?

Barack Marshall Davis?

Barry Soetoro Dunham?

Just a name, a starched shirt, and a well-creased pant leg.

At least for a peaceful resolution of this mess.

The Hot Air article spelled out most of the answers.

RE: who: this is from a blog, http://blog.eminentdomainlaw.net/

Per Reuters, Mortgage Resolution Partners is Â“backed by a number of prominent West Coast financiers,Â” including Evercore Partners Inc and Westwood Capital, who would be paid back after the restructured loans were sold off to Â“hedge funds, pension funds and other institutional investors.Â”

From the link in my name:
"The Mortgage Resolution Partners Web site says Mr. Gluckstern "worked for investor Warren Buffett and served as General Manager of reinsurance operations of the Berkshire Hathaway Insurance Group." Also according to the Mortgage Resolution Partners Web site, the firm's chief of staff, BJ Greenspan, "comes to MRP most recently from the Institute of New Economic Thinking (INET), founded in the aftermath of the most recent financial crisis, where she helped to launch their efforts and served as Chief of Staff." The Institute for New Economic Thinking was founded by hedge fund manager and philanthropist George Soros with a $50 million pledge in 2009 and a $50 million follow-up grant in 2012."
...
"Evercore is led by Roger Altman, a Clinton and Carter administration official who was mentioned as a possible successor to Lawrence Summers as President Obama's chairman of the National Economic Council. Mr. Altman's firm was paid $46 million by General Motors pre-bankruptcy, then turned around and asked for a $17.9 million "success fee." A U.S. bankruptcy trustee termed the fees "staggering" and "inordinately large" and said it "clearly exceeds the bounds of reasonableness" given that "Evercore had no success at finding a purchaser or funder for the Debtors." Mr. Altman then wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times praising President Obama's auto bailout."

Other way around. They're going to seize *performing* loans and essentially strip the banks of the only loan assets that are still paying off. They may as well just go in with guns and empty the vault, but would probably get less cash that way and this way there's no insurance to recoup the loss to investors.

As a person who needs to make (what should have been ample) life insurance proceeds last for the next 50 years or so, this constant threat to investing is getting *very* old. It's quite clear that * no one* in this administration ( and yes I realize the mortgage question is a state issue, but the federal people are more of the same sort) has *any* understanding of how finances work. I'm an art major for G-d's sake and even I can see that these plans are doomed, unless complete disaster is the goal which I wish I could laugh away as impossible.

204 We had a big fight about the mortgage thing yesterday. As I understand it this is for current loans. The plan is basically state mandated cram down of principal to cmv of the home. The home owner is supposed to get refi'd into a new loan. I have yet to see that there is any guarantee on the refit though.

"If you don't have a plan to be self-sufficient (in the 19th Century sense of the word, growing/raising your own food, planning to have surplus to help your neighbors, etc.), it's gonna be a rough ride in the next few years."

Ya ain't gonna get any argument from me there, hoss.

Most important purchase anyone can make in 2012 is yet more 12-gauge shotgun shells.

A man can never have too many 12-gauge shotgun shells.

"We're all hoping for a Romney win, but imagine the job before him if he does win. I'd argue for an immediate purge of Stalinesque proportions, but it won't happen."

To fix this mess, we would need an immediate and perpetual increase in SoshSecurity and Mediscare eligibility ages - I'd argue for [at least] increasing the minimum eligibility age by one year every two calendar years - so that, by the end of Romney's first 4-year term, the eligibility age would have increased from 67 to 69, and by the end of Romney's second 4-year term, the eligibility age would have increased from 69 to 71 [etc etc etc in perpetuity, until the eligibility age is 125 and no one qualifies anymore].

Immediate phase out of all SS Disability, Medicaid, WIC, AFDC, crop support subsidies, and every other form of personal and corporate welfare. No more "too big to fail". Banksters go to PRISON.

Immediately cease all efforts at nation-building in any Muslim country - Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, wherever: If they refuse to play nice, then turn them to glass from 40,000 feet, but under no circumstances do you place boots on the ground in any country whose Constitution declares it to be Muslim.

Fire Bernanke on Day One. Audit the Fed. Figure out what our true fiscal "obligations" amount to.

Send ALL illegal immigrants home immediately. And their anchor babies. And if John Roberts whines and bitches and moans about Wong Kim Ark, then tell him to kiss your ass.

Immediately seal the border with Mexico, by deploying the USMC if necessary.

219 Other way around. They're going to seize *performing* loans and essentially strip the banks of the only loan assets that are still paying off. They may as well just go in with guns and empty the vault, but would probably get less cash that way and this way there's no insurance to recoup the loss to investors.

This excludes anything she wears that is not photographed and takes into account the probably of discounts.

For about the last 100K miles the AC didn't work, even though I spent $800 on it before I gave up trying to get it fixed. I replaced that truck with a '98 Ranger. The AC lasted less than 6 months.

297 Posted by: Infidel at home at July 07, 2012 02:45 PM (YiODH) The problem with used trucks is that you pay a premium for them because so many people want them as a second vehicle. And none of the new trucks will have anywhere near the durability of my old F150. I know I'll get a raft of shit for this, but I've been thinking my next vehicle should be a used Toyota Sienna. Great ratings for durability and safety. Shit for looks, but I don't care. Strip out the interior from the driver's seat back, and it could be a great utility vehicle. You see them all the time for sale that have obviously never been used for anything other than transporting kids and groceries. Not exactly heavy use. I know I'm not a typical car consumer. I want durability, economy, low insurance rates, and VERSATILITY. I basically want an economy car that I can load up with tools, cargo, or camping gear whenever I want to. A used Sienna could have the cargo capacity of my current Ranger-with-a-camper-top at a much lower cost.

313 289-- "So she spent $1,225,000 on clothes for herself?" Yep. They make about that much a year, more or less, so she spends a good quarter of their income of clothes. Seriously, my friend broke down piece-by-piece the wardrobe Michelle wore on her last big official European trip and it added up to over $200,000 for two weeks. Let me put it to you this way. The Alexander McQueen gown Michelle wore to the state dinner for China would cost at least $20,000 with discount. The Naeem Khan she wore to the India state dinner, which was embroidered with real silver, would cost about $30,000 with discount. Hey! You get a $2000 sundress, $300 cardigan (cheap!), $500 purse, and $500 shoes for a routine, casual outfit and pretty soon the money adds up!!! I don't care, BTW, since it's her own money. But pretending to be just-folks is absurd and obnoxious. And then there's the question of whether she's getting a good result for all the money spent. Heh.

318 As imperialism struggles to hold together this decaying social fabric, it inevitably resorts to brute force and authoritarian ideology. People, especially young people, more and more find themselves in the iron grip of authoritarian institutions. Reaction against the pigs or teachers in the schools, welfare pigs or the army, is generalizable and extends beyond the particular repressive institution to the society and the State as a whole. The legitimacy of the State is called into question for the first time in at least 30 years, and the anti-authoritarianism which characterizes the youth rebellion turns into rejection of the State, a refusal to be socialized into American society. Kids used to try to beat the system from inside the army or from inside the schools; now they desert from the army and burn down the schools.

322 This would not be a problem with manual roll down windows. All these wonderful little whistles and bells in a vehicle are great....right up until they stop working. Exactly, wheatie. I do not have a broken elbow. I'm perfectly able to operate a crank without electronic assistance. Why the fuck can't I buy a nice car without electric windows? On the old F150, an electric window went out first. When I took off the interior door panel and looked into it, the channel that's supposed to slide against the bottom of the window (glass) panel had come loose. Zero-cost fix. Later, I had a window motor go out. $365 fix. Think about this: $365 fucking dollars. And that was at least 15 years ago. To raise and lower a fucking window. I later talked to a guy who works in a Mercedes plant. It just so happened that his job was mounting electric-window motors. He said, "The reason cars come with electric windows is because it's cheaper to build a car with electric windows, and most buyers think they want electric windows." The. Fucking. End.

341 Geez. Another begging email from the Obama camp.

Originally, asking for $3 donations was smart because it told his welfare class that they could be a part of the process, and as part of a team of millions like them, $3 didn't seem like a small thing.

The raffles were astounding in their gimmickry: Raffle off a chance to spend time with the POTUS. Utterly lacking in dignity, but from a fund-raising standpoint, it was smart.

Now, with two and sometimes three emails a day, the begging has reached so far beyond ~~desperate~~ pathetic that a new word should be created to describe it. It's unseemly. It's demeaning of the office. It's a freak-show of such hideous proportions that I now have to read the emails through the cracks between my fingers.

It makes my head ache and my stomach turn.

And, if I were someone who had contributed to his campaign, the death by 1000 $3 pricks would piss me off.

They have gone horribly, pathetically off-course.

Just this one partial sentence reminds me of something that popped up on twitter yesterday. I think it was rdbrewer or comrade arthur that pointed out a comment in the sidebar piece about "Why I won't hire you".

It is one of the most articulate explanations of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs and how Socialist policies damn them to fail that I have ever read.

I think it deserves a post of it's own and, as I said on twitter, a prominent display in the "Why Socialism Sucks" museum.

375 >>Of course, with the heater, air conditioner, I-Pass, and GPS, I may never have to open a window again, unless I get stopped by a cop.

As opposed to someone I know who just had to get a window fixed. Had to wait for the part to be ordered...meanwhile, he had to show ID every morning to get to work! (stop car, open door, apologize, etc.)

>> (I don't go to drive-throughs anymore because it's not worth it considering how often they screw up my order.)

There is a vast untapped horde of Moron computer experience just waiting to provide exactly the quality of service you've paid for with your double electrum deluxe subscription. So ask away.

If it's still disk space.
Backup.
Use WinDirStat and TreeSize (free avail) to get an idea where the space went.
Don't delete anything you don't know what it is.
Buy a bigger disk. Really TB are cheap nowadays, cheaper than days spent with your system hosed.

The last car I had with manual windows the cam kept breaking. And it was a common problem because the left hand door in every junk yard in the county for that model had already had the cam removed to replace.

It was broke when I traded it in.

Were I among a group conferring with my boss, and he had his feet up on the desk as we spoke, I would have learned that my boss had no class, was likely insecure and acting arrogant in order to compensate for his insecurity, and that he did not merit my respect.

I believe all these things to also be true of the utterly unqualified, abject failure who is currently (mis)inhabiting our White House.

421 This is the mindset that affirmative action creates. The sad part is that he actually believes that his "trying real hard" should be good enough, and that his measurement of success should be lowered a couple of notches.

AA creates, at its peak, total mediocrity - and at all other times, a perverse, alternative world that the rest of us can never visit. It completely discredits successful minorities who are truly qualified based on ability by tainting the pool with JEFs like this.

422 If he was a conservative, you guys would be talking about how great he is for not being a stick-up-the-ass prude and so relaxed and casual. That's what he's shooting for: he wants to seem appealing to young people and modern, not old fashioned.
Being dignified and proper seems stiff and unrealistic to younger people. It seems fake to people brought up on foul-mouthed frivolity, to a generation that bristles at the very word "appropriate" and thinks wearing jeans everywhere isn't just a choice but a God-given right that only an ass would question.
