The European debt crisis explained in two hilarious minutes

Obama proudly says, “Hey, look at me. I’m just like Jimmy Carter.”

As if there weren’t already enough reasons to compare Barack Obama to Jimmy Carter, the worst president of the 20th century, this quote gives us another one.

This is a day we won’t soon forget. Because this is the third story we’ve managed to wring out of one Presidential sound bite, an achievement that would make any blogger proud.

“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet Daddy?” he said, recounting how often he thinks of the spill, adding, “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.”

As if there weren’t already enough reasons to compare Barack Obama to the worst president of the 20th century, this quote gives us another one.

It’s more than just a little reminiscent of the moment during the 1980 Presidential debate when Jimmy Carter announced his daughter Amy was now an official White House policy consultant. Amy was 13 years old at the time. Malia will soon be 12. Oh, those precocious energy-conscious Democrat kids.

Anybody know where we can get one of those “Welcome back, Carter” bumper stickers?

Obama reveals that he’s not Muslim, not Christian, but pagan

Barack Obama: “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.” He was, we assume, referring to his childhood worship of Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean.

Please prepare our places in the Bloggers Hall of Fame, because we’ve managed to squeeze two stories out of a single presidential sound bite.

“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” he said, recounting how often he thinks of the spill, adding, “I grew up in Hawaii, where the ocean is sacred.”

He was, we assume, referring to his childhood worship of Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean.

So relax. It looks like Michelle won’t have to be fitted for a burkah after all. But look for the President to show up to his next press conference in an Aquaman costume.

Obama brings his fat, stupid daughter into the Gulf oil controversy

Hey, don’t blame us for calling the kid fat and stupid. We’re just repeating what the President and First Lady said.

Hey, don’t blame us for calling the kids fat and stupid. We’re just repeating what the President and First Lady said.

It’s amazing how this guy – the president, that is – tells the media that his daughters are off limits until he needs to use them as foils in a story meant to capture the media’s collective hearts.

First, during her war on childhood obesity, Michelle announced that the Obama family doctor advised her that the girls are a bit too plump and should lay off the sweets.

Then the President announced that Malia wasn’t studying hard enough and that her grades sucked.

But the President’s latest invocation of his children’s names was inspired by the oil blowout in the Gulf. It’s a bittersweet, but totally unbelievable story of childhood innocence lost.

“When I woke up this morning and I’m shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she says — did you plug the hole yet Daddy?” the President said, noting that this is one of the reasons he is consumed by thoughts of the spill.

And then, we imagine, just as the President was wiping the last of the shaving cream off his ruggedly handsome, chiseled face, Malia said, “Daddy, what do you think we should do about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the proliteration of nuclear weapons? And what about that Arizona illegal alien law? Have you instructed the attorney general to fight it in court? And do you think the Greek debt crisis will spill over to the rest of the G-20? Do you, daddy? Do you?”

Yeah, right.

The End.

Heartbreak! Chris Matthews says, “This President is not acting like Commander-In-Chief.”

The amazing thing is that it’s taken 16 months and numerous unresolved crises for MSNBC host and presidential sycophant Chris Matthews to get over the thrill that goes up his leg whenever he hears Obama speak.

Pardon our Sudanese but, “No shit, Sherlock. Where’d you get your first clue?”

Washington Post frets that world events keep interrupting Obama’s vacations

Well, we’re certainly glad that the Washington Post picked up on this story. We know it’s something that’s worried us for months on end. “Trying to schedule a vacation — or even a weekend away — has proven next-to-impossible for the first family; world events keep conspiring to mess up their plans.”

obama-vacation-grand-canyon
Do not be deceived by appearances. This was not an Obama family vacation at the Grand Canyon. It was a secret meeting of the G-20 to discuss the European debt crisis.

Well, we’re certainly glad that the Washington Post picked up on this story. We know it’s something that’s worried us for months on end.

Trying to schedule a vacation — or even a weekend away — has proven next-to-impossible for the first family; world events keep conspiring to mess up their plans. Their vacation in Hawaii over Christmas was pushed back because of the health-care debate. Two months later the same issue forced the Obamas to cancel a family trip to Indonesia over spring break. And all three of the president’s most recent foreign trips — including voyages to Asia and Copenhagen — have been rearranged or postponed at the last minute.

It should have come as no surprise, then, that soon after the Obamas announced plans to spend a long Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, a massive oil spill that for weeks had been lurking off the Gulf Coast finally made landfall, wiping out birds and fish, mucking up the shoreline and driving round-the-clock cable news coverage.

Obama once again adjusted his schedule, announcing that he will fly to Chicago on Thursday night as planned but then leave Friday morning for a day trip to New Orleans, cutting short his first substantial visit home in more than a year.

The military has a term for developments that wash out plans: OBE, or “overtaken by events.” Few people are more vulnerable to the phenomenon than the commander in chief, whose job description includes expecting the unexpected.

Good lord, man, we are so relieved that the oil spill may be plugged. Now the President can finally escape from Washington, DC and his grueling schedule of basketball games, golf matches and rushed dashes to greasy hamburger joints with the Vice President Biden.

The world is safe once again.

Imus loses it when Chris Dodd tries to blame Bush for oil spill

“Countrywide” Chris Dodd was discussing the Gulf oil spill with Don Imus. As soon as Dodd tried to defend Obama by uttering the words “The last eight years…”, Imus went ballistic. It went downhill from there.

Surprise: New U.S. border troops won’t be used to stop illegal aliens

President Obama’s promise to put 1,200 new troops on the border is as empty as the national treasury. Turns out those troops won’t be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens.

"I'm sending troops to stop illegal aliens" joins "Healthcare will save money" on Obama's list of outrageous lies

President Obama’s promise to put 1,200 new troops on the border is as empty as the national treasury. Turns out those troops won’t be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens.

AFP has a full report on Obama’s empty promise:

US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.

The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.

President Barack Obama on Tuesday authorized the deployment of up to 1,200 additional troops to border areas but State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, “It’s not about immigration.”

He said the move was “fully consistent with our efforts to do our part to stem, you know, violence, to interdict the flow of dangerous people and dangerous goods — drugs, guns, people.”

He said the extra troops would be used to free up civilians engaged in support functions so that law enforcement personnel can be increased along the 2,000-mile-long (3,200 kilometer) border.

How can you explain Obama’s constant kowtowing to the president of a corrupt third world country against the overwhelming opposition of the American people?

Felipe Calderon must have photos of Barack Obama in compromising positions with farm animals. It’s the only possible answer.

Census bureau has created millions of jobs. And then recreated them.

At the rate the Census Bureau is creating jobs, it may singlehandedly wipe out unemployment. Of course, the whole damn thing is as phony as Obama’s birth certificate, but phony seems to trump reality in Washington, DC these days.

"You're hired. You're fired. You're rehired." Repeat 20,000,000 times and the unemployment rate goes to zero.

At the rate the Census Bureau is creating jobs, it may singlehandedly wipe out unemployment. Of course, the whole damn thing is as phony as Obama’s birth certificate, but phony seems to trump reality in Washington, DC these days.

The New York Post recounts the phony job count:

Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks.

The worker, Naomi Cohn, told The Post that she was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department. . . .

Each month Census gives Labor a figure on the number of workers it has hired. That figure goes into the closely followed monthly employment report Labor provides. For the past two months the hiring by Census has made up a good portion of the new jobs.

Labor doesn’t check the Census hiring figure or whether the jobs are actually new or recycled. It considers a new job to have been created if someone is hired to work at least one hour a month.

One hour! A month! So, if a worker is terminated after only one hour and another is hired in her place, then a second new job can apparently be reported to Labor.

Do you ever feeling that we’re living in some sort of strange, alternate universe?

Hypocritical John Kerry says voter anger at Washington
is hypocritical

In case you haven’t yet rushed out to buy this week’s U.S. News, let us sum up John Kerry’s hypocritical comments for you: “We Democrats are doing a dandy job and you’re a hypocritical piece of commoner crap if you don’t appreciate us.”

john teresa kerry
Would you like a little ketchup with your hypocrisy?

In case you haven’t yet rushed out to buy this week’s U.S. News, let us sum up John Kerry’s hypocritical comments for you: “We Democrats are doing a dandy job and you’re a hypocritical piece of commoner crap if you don’t appreciate us.”

“We’ve come back,” he says of the nation, Wall Street, and the economy. “This is an amazing resurgence.”

It wasn’t a slam at the Tea Party movement and those upset at Washington as much as a frustration he feels that Congress and the president aren’t getting the credit he thinks they deserve for pulling the country out of a second depression.

“I think there’s a comprehension gap,” said Kerry. His point: While people may not be feeling the benefits of the bailouts and healthcare reform yet, Congress has been working with Obama to right the economic ship. Still, he sounded sympathetic to those kicked around by the economy. “There’s a sense of some things unraveling” to them, said Kerry.

But he said that the D.C.-directed attacks are hypocritical, since many of those attacking Washington spending presumably want to keep their Social Security and Medicare and want Washington to play a big role in the Gulf Oil cleanup. “There’s a huge contradiction on a daily basis,” he said.

Kerry really can’t figure out why the little people are upset. We’re pretty sure he’s thinking, “What’s the big deal? If you can’t find a job, just do what I did – pull yourself up by your bootstraps and marry a rich, recently-widowed heiress.”

Voila! Problem solved.

Prius driver goes insane, wastes gasoline

Timothy Hird is about to become a legend within the Royal Society of Arrogant Prius Owners. Despite his imminent fame, it’s a tragic tale and something we wouldn’t wish on the most liberal of liberals.

Get your Prius today, because they're going fast!

Timothy Hird is about to become a legend within the Royal Society of Arrogant Prius Owners. Despite his imminent fame, it’s a tragic tale and something we wouldn’t wish on the most liberal of liberals.

Jalopnik.com has the details:

Timothy Hird of Winder, Georgia was so sick of people pushing around hybrid drivers he attempted to race a non-hybrid Honda Civic to “prove how fast his Prius could go.” The stunt landed the beleaguered Prius owner in jail.

It happened last week near Braselton, Georiga when the Prius driver was leaving a Publix supermarket. According to the police report, the driver of the Civic pulled out in front of Hird. This was the last straw for the Prius driver. He sped up to meet the Civic and yelled “Watch this!” at the Civic’s female passenger and started harassing them by tapping on the brakes and blocking their car. Eventually, the Civic driver tried to pass the hybrid and nearly wiped out into a police car.

Both drivers were promptly arrested and charged with reckless driving, though the Prius driver probably would have been happier with a speeding ticket.

The real drama in this situation will occur at next month’s meeting of the Royal Society of Arrogant Prius Owners. Will they shun Hird for wasting our precious oil resources? Or salute him for standing up for the honor of their much-maligned hybrids?

The world awaits the decision.

Another Democrat turns on Obama: David Gergen rips Obama’s oil spill response

Oh, my. Just try to imagine the frenetic liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth if Fox News had made a mistake like this.

TalkingPointsMemo.com provides the details:

CNN, during a segment this morning about a 103-year-old African-American woman, mistakenly aired a portion of a song that includes the word “nigga.” Realizing the mistake, the anchor apologized soon after.

The segment was about Gladys Flamer, a woman from Pennsylvania who is still driving at 103 years of age. After telling the story, anchor Kyra Phillips said, “Miss Flamer, this shoutout’s for you.”

The audio cut to “Fantastic Voyage” by Coolio — specifically, a part of the song with the words “punk ass nigga” — over footage of the woman climbing into her car.

The chorus of that song begins, “Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage”
About 25 minutes later, Phillips acknowledged the mistake and apologized.

“We aired some music just a few minutes ago and, obviously for those of you who heard it, it was the wrong music that aired. It was a terrible mistake and we’re working very hard to make up for it,” she said.

Obviously, CNN was correct in apologizing for putting this on the air. But what the hell, Larry King’s been on the network for years and they’ve never apologized for him.

Suicide donkey detonates dynamite in Gaza

We knew there are a lot of radical Muslim jackasses, but we were shocked to discover that there are also radical Muslim donkeys.

The new face of radical Islam

We knew there are a lot of radical Muslim jackasses, but we were shocked to discover that there are also radical Muslim donkeys.

The Jerusalem Post has the deadly donkey details:

A small Syrian-backed terrorist group in Gaza said its activists blew up a donkey cart laden with explosives close to the border with Israel on Tuesday, killing the animal but causing no human casualties.

 Abu Ghassan, spokesman for the terrorist group, said more than 200 kilograms of dynamite were heaped on the animal-drawn cart. He added that the explosives were detonated 60 meters from the concrete security barrier that separates the territory from Israel.

The donkey was killed in the blast, but there were no reports of human casualties.Israeli troops routinely patrol the border, and impoverished Gazans often gather rubble in the area.

The Israeli branch of PETA was twice as angry as usual.

Racist Republican senator talks about the color of Obama’s skin

We beg your pardon. It appears that the racist Republican senator referring to the thinness of Obama’s skin, not the color. Doesn’t matter. Use of the word “skin” in the same sentence as the word “Obama” is undoubtedly racist.

Racist Republican Senator Pat Roberts can't stop talking about President Obama's skin

We beg your pardon. It appears that the racist Republican senator referring to the thinness of Obama’s skin, not the color. Doesn’t matter. Use of the word “skin” in the same sentence as the word “Obama” is undoubtedly racist.

The Washington Post tells the story of this evil racist confronting The Greatest President In History:

President Obama traveled to Capitol Hill on Tuesday for a rare meeting with Senate Republicans, but the 75-minute session yielded little progress on hot-button topics and left some senators with bruised feelings.

“He needs to take a Valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans,” Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) told reporters. “He’s pretty thin-skinned.”…

“I’ve always found it’s good to be frank. If you have an opportunity to talk to someone, you should talk about what’s on your mind,” Corker told reporters. He questioned “the audacity” of Obama’s asking for Republican help Tuesday after bipartisan talks on financial reform broke down and his landmark health-care bill passed solely on Democratic votes.

“My question is again: How can you reconcile that duplicity? You say that, but then the big issues have been constructed in such a way to absolutely be partisan,” Corker said. “How can you come in on a Tuesday after [the financial bill vote]? . . . It was odd to me.”

“Skin?” the President said. “OK, you be shirts and we’ll be skins and we’ll settle this with a little half court basketball game. But let’s make it fast because I have another vacation scheduled and Michelle will make my life a living hell if we have to delay it.”

96% of Americans strongly disapprove of Obama and think the country’s less safe than it was before 9/11

So there you have it. 44% strongly disapprove of President Obama and 52% say the country is not safer today than it was before 9/11. As highly-trained statisticians, we feel quite comfortable saying that 96% of Americans disapprove of Obama and think we’re less safe than we were.

smug-obama
96% disapproval. You call it a lie, we call it a statistic.

There’s an old saying that there are lies, damned lies and statistics. This story will prove it.

According to Rasmussen, “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove.”

Another Rasmussen study said, “Confidence in America’s efforts in the War on Terror has fallen again this month, and, following the unsuccessful terrorist bombing attempt in New York’s Times Square, more voters than ever now believe the nation is not safer today than it was before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks…. Fifty-two percent (52%) say the country is not safer today, up from 42% a month ago and the highest level measured over the past three years.”

So there you have it. 44% strongly disapprove of President Obama and 52% say the country is not safer today than it was before 9/11. As highly-trained statisticians, we feel quite comfortable saying that 96% of Americans disapprove of Obama and think we’re less safe than we were.

So let’s amend that old line we quoted at the beginning of this story. In the America of 2010, it should probably read, “There are lies, damned lies, and Barack Obama, who is the biggest liar of them all and the American people are finally figuring it out.”

Or something like that.

Office porn: Oil regulator viewing statistics on Obama's budget deficit

We really don’t care about this story. We just enjoyed using the words “drilling” and “porn” in the same headline. Thank you for indulging us.

Staff members at an agency that oversees offshore drilling accepted tickets to sports events, lunches and other gifts from oil and gas companies and used government computers to view pornography, according to an Interior Department report alleging a culture of cronyism between regulators and the industry.

In at least one case, an inspector for the Minerals Management Service admitted using crystal methamphetamine and said he might have been under the influence of the drug the next day at work, according to the report by the acting inspector general of the Interior Department.

The report cites a variety of violations of federal regulations and ethics rules at the agency’s Louisiana office. Previous inspector general investigations have focused on inappropriate behavior by the royalty-collection staff in the agency’s Denver office.

West Point cadets don’t think Obama’s funny.
It’s Bush’s fault.

As you can see in the video above, Obama told the same joke that Bush did during his 2002 West Point commencement address last weekend. Bush tells joke, cadets roar. Obama tells same joke, cadets respond with, shall we say, restraint. We blame Dick Cheney.

In George W. Bush’s 2002 West Point commencement address, he said:

As the Commander-in-Chief, I hereby grant amnesty to all cadets who are on restriction for minor conduct offenses. (Applause.) Those of you in the end zone might have cheered a little early. (Laughter.)

Because, you see, I’m going to let General Lennox define exactly what “minor” means. (Laughter.)

Patrick Kennedy demonstrates his Kennedyness, says Arizona law is like “slave trade”

Patrick Kennedy, the last remaining link to those heady days of Camelot, spoke out against Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law. And he did the Kennedy family proud.

“…it violates the spirit of our own Constitution. So, you know, we had a tragic history in this country. The most shameful parts of our history were when we had our slave trade, when we, when we, the Trail of Tears, what we did to our Native Americans. And, you know, the proudest moments in our history are when we had the Civil Rights Act, when we moved forward on integration and expanding the opportunities for all of our citizens.

“So, this idea of, you know, racial profiling, takes us backwards and really goes to the worst character of our nation and it’s, it’s demeaning to our country that we would move in that direction. It’s beneath us as a people.”

The New York Times bids a fond farewell to a dear old friend: European socialism

European socialism is dead. Even the New York Times can no longer deny it. Of course, that doesn’t stop the Times from promoting the same failed system here in the United States, but that’s another story.

European socialism is dead. Even the New York Times can no longer deny it. Of course, that doesn’t stop the Times from promoting the same failed system here in the United States, but that’s another story.

Across Western Europe, the “lifestyle superpower,” the assumptions and gains of a lifetime are suddenly in doubt. The deficit crisis that threatens the euro has also undermined the sustainability of the European standard of social welfare, built by left-leaning governments since the end of World War II.

Europeans have boasted about their social model, with its generous vacations and early retirements, its national health care systems and extensive welfare benefits, contrasting it with the comparative harshness of American capitalism.

Europeans have benefited from low military spending, protected by NATO and the American nuclear umbrella. They have also translated higher taxes into a cradle-to-grave safety net. “The Europe that protects” is a slogan of the European Union.

But all over Europe governments with big budgets, falling tax revenues and aging populations are experiencing rising deficits, with more bad news ahead.

With low growth, low birthrates and longer life expectancies, Europe can no longer afford its comfortable lifestyle, at least not without a period of austerity and significant changes. The countries are trying to reassure investors by cutting salaries, raising legal retirement ages, increasing work hours and reducing health benefits and pensions.

The most important sentence in that excerpt are, “Europeans have benefited from low military spending, protected by NATO and the American nuclear umbrella.”

Yes, your tax dollars enabled the Europeans to believe the world was a real life Candyland and convinced them they could spend foolishly on unsustainable social folderol.

But the folderol has come home to roost.

James Carville goes ragin’ Cajun, attacks Obama over Gulf oil spill

Carville, the famously outspoken Louisianian who was a chief political aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday that the administration’s response to the spill has been “lackadaisical” and that Obama was “naive” to trust BP to manage the massive clean-up effort.

The latest Rasmussen poll shows Obama with just 44% approval. Democrat strategist James Carville appears to be part of the remaining 56%. He had some very harsh things to say about Obama’s Katrina.

The Huffington Post reports the Louisiana lowdown:

Carville, the famously outspoken Louisianian who was a chief political aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Thursday that the administration’s response to the spill has been “lackadaisical” and that Obama was “naive” to trust BP to manage the massive clean-up effort.

“I think they actually believe that BP has some kind of a good motivation here,” he said. “They’re naive! BP is trying to save money, save everything they can… They won’t tell us anything, and oddly enough, the government seems to be going along with it! Somebody has got to, like shake them and say, ‘These people don’t wish you well! They’re going to take you down!'”

For once, we understood every word Carville said. But we somehow doubt that anyone in the White House understood it.
