The Economist gives the President a new moniker: Vladimir Obama

The respected international neo-liberal publication The Economist pounds another nail into the Obama administration’s coffin.

barack-obama-vladimir-putin
It's become increasingly difficult to tell where Vladimir Putin ends and Barack Obama begins

Vladimir Obama. Ouch. Consider it more evidence that Obamanamiacs are the only ones still buying this guy’s act.

The respected international neo-liberal publication The Economist pounds another nail into the Obama administration’s coffin:

Mr Obama is not the socialist the right claims he is. He went out of his way, meeting BP executives on June 16th, to insist that he has no interest in undermining the company’s financial stability. But his reaction is cementing business leaders’ impression that he is indifferent to their concerns. If he sees any impropriety in politicians ordering executives about, upstaging the courts and threatening confiscation, he has not said so. The collapse in BP’s share price suggests that he has convinced the markets that he is an American version of Vladimir Putin, willing to harry firms into doing his bidding.

Nobody should underestimate the scale of BP’s mistake, nor the damage that it has caused. But if the president does not stand up for due process, he will frighten investors across the board. The damage to America’s environment is bad enough. The president risks damaging its economy too.

Bad as “Vladimir Obama” sounds, the geniuses in this administration may not recognize it as an insult. They’re probably giving each other congratulatory slaps on the back and saying, “Well, at least they didn’t call him Adolf Obama.”

“Boo hoo are you?”

Why, hell’s bells, people, North Carolina Democrat Rep. Bob Etheridge is just a big, ol’ softy. That video of him assaulting a couple students last week meant absolutely nothing, because this guy loves babies and puppies and kitties and rainbows and and unicorns and long walks on the beach in the rain.

Why, hell’s bells, people, North Carolina Democrat Rep. Bob Etheridge is just a big, ol’ softy. That video of Etheridge assaulting a couple students last week meant absolutely nothing. It was probably digitally altered by covert conservative operatives, because this guy loves babies and puppies and kitties and rainbows and and unicorns and long walks on the beach in the rain.

Expect his next video to feature one of those puppies, because we think it’s going to take a lot more than one phony baloney campaign video to rehabilitate the reputation of “Two Martini” Bob Etheridge.

Now Obama administration argues in court that individual mandate really is a tax

Oh, how times change. Now the Obama Administration is arguing in court that the healthcare individual mandate really is a tax.

In case you’ve tried to block the whole ObamaCare debate from your mind, this video clip shows President Obama sternly correcting George Stephanopolous when the ABC host called the individual mandate “a tax.”

Oh, how times change. Now the administration is arguing in court that it really is a tax.

Spectator.org has the mind-boggling story:

Obama says, “If we secure the border, you won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform”

Here’s an interesting video clip that demonstrates the lengths to which President Obama will go to pass what is laughingly called “comprehensive immigration reform.”

Here’s an interesting video clip that demonstrates the lengths to which President Obama will go to pass what is laughingly called “comprehensive immigration reform.”

Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private tête-à-tête in the Oval Office, President Obama told him, “The problem is…if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.”

The Tea Party crowd was shocked. You can hear their gasps on the video (at 3:45).

“In other words,” Senator Kyl said, “they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”

Bottom line: The illegals are crossing the border. Obama’s crossing the American people.

An 8-year old child was caught stealing bread in an Iranian market. He is about to be punished “in the name of Islam” by having his arm crushed under a car.

UPDATE: We were duped and we apologize for the screw-up. Turns out these guys are common street hustlers, 21st century fakirs. But as TDK, the reader who alerted us to the fraud said, “There is plenty of direct evidence of (Muslim) stonings of women, hanging of opponents from cranes, locking girls in a burning school because they weren’t dressed ‘appropriately’, to need supplementing by grey evidence like this.” OK, that sentence may have been a bit convoluted, but TDK’s point is clear and valid.

The background story: An 8-year old child was caught stealing bread in an Iranian market. He is about to be punished “in the name of Islam” by having his arm crushed under a car.

These people are still living in the Dark Ages. For those liberal lunatics who want to pigeonhole us racists, let’s make it clear that we’re not condemning all Muslims. But we are condemning the ones who condone actions like this and the ones don’t speak out against it, just as we condemn those Muslims who condone terrorism and the ones who don’t speak out against it.

When you see photos like this, you must realize that turning a blind eye to the dark side of Islam is no longer an option.

U.S. News says, “World sees Obama as incompetent and amateur”

Barack Obama, who was sold to the American people as the most intelligent, most competent presidential candidate ever, is beginning to look like he’s not competent to run a hotel on Baltic Avenue, much less the house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Perception is reality: How our friends and enemies perceive Barack Obama

Barack Obama, who was sold to the American people as the most intelligent, most competent presidential candidate ever, is beginning to look like he’s not competent to run a hotel on Baltic Avenue, much less the house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The latest issue of U.S. News takes a look at the results of the last 17 months:

The end result is that a critical mass of influential people in world affairs who once held high hopes for the president have begun to wonder whether they misjudged the man.

They are no longer dazzled by his rock star personality and there is a sense that there is something amateurish and even incompetent about how Obama is managing U.S. power…

America right now appears to be unreliable to traditional friends, compliant to rivals, and weak to enemies. One renowned Asian leader stated recently at a private dinner in the United States, “We in Asia are convinced that Obama is not strong enough to confront his opponents, but we fear that he is not strong enough to support his friends.”

Why so harsh, Newsweek? The guy plays a mean game of golf and doesn’t he deserve a little credit for that?

A green job is just a con job with a paint job

You know all those green jobs liberal politicians keep prattling on about? Turns out the government is spending billions on them without actually knowing what they are. The words just sound so damn nice.

Your tax dollars are what puts the green in green jobs

You know all those green jobs liberal politicians keep prattling on about? Turns out the government is spending billions on them without actually knowing what they are. The words just sound so damn nice.

Byron York describes the dubious definitions:

Buried deep inside a federal newsletter on March 16 was something called a “notice of solicitation of comments” from the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the Department of Labor.

“BLS is responsible for developing and implementing the collection of new data on green jobs,” said the note in the Federal Register, which is widely read by government bureaucrats and almost never seen by the general public. But the notice said there is “no widely accepted standard definition of ‘green jobs.'” To help find that definition, the Labor Department asked that readers send in suggestions.

Oops. Meredith Vieira interview goes awry when teen girl says the C-word. Twice.

Meredith Vieira asked young teen guest Kayla Manson to describe a series of bullying emails and the sweet, innocent-looking young girl surprised the Today Show host by blurting out the C-word. Not once, but twice, within a few seconds.

Meredith Vieira recently learned the wisdom of the old saying, “Be careful what you wish for.”

She asked young teen guest Kayla Manson to describe a series of bullying emails and the sweet, innocent-looking young girl surprised the Today Show host by blurting out the C-word. Not once, but twice, within a few seconds.

“Be careful with our language, but that’s alright, sweetie.” Meredith cooed. But you know, you absolutely know, that they were dying in the booth.

Of course, Meredith’s proved that her own nether regions are never far from her mind when she called herself “a horny old woman” while hitting on a studly-looking Navy fighter pilot on the air.

Don’t hate the playah, Meredith, hate the game.

Robert Gibbs spanks Keith Olbermann. Film at eleven.

Two articles on in the Huffington Post demonstrate that the Apocalypse is imminent.

robert-gibbs-keith olbermann
Headline this one "Putz calls putz a putz."

Two articles in the Huffington Post demonstrate that the Apocalypse is imminent.

First was the story of Robert Gibbs lashing out at the media. No, not Fox News, but MSNBC, and more specifically, that lovable leftist lunatic Keith Olbermann.

The article began “White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs offered a noticeably snide dig on Wednesday to cable news critics who claim that the president is being too hands-off with the oil crisis — specifically MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, who harshly criticized Obama’s Oval Office address the night before.”

According to the article, “The comments were made in response to a question about whether Gibbs had seen some of the tougher takes on the president from the “Daily Show’s Jon Stewart and Olbermann — the latter of whom critiqued Obama for offering mostly platitudes during his Gulf speech.”

Apparently, the leftist media has learned nothing from watching the Most Media-Loving Administration In History’s war against any journalist foolish enough to question them.

Another HuffPo article noted that Olbermann’s fans, who measure in the dozens, were pretty upset with his treatment of The One and Olbermann was forced to reaffirm his dedication and “Sent a nine-part response over Twitter, praising the President.”

The statement read in part, “This is easily the smartest political leader I have ever seen, as good a political public speaker as I’ve heard, last October I was privileged along with 11 other news people to spend 2 hours with him as he showed extemporaneous mastery of every one of two dozen topics fired at him by us in random order. I left the room wondering if we had ever before actually elected a president who was one of the 1,000 smartest people in the country (or maybe 100, or 10) as we had now. I believe in him and in his presidency and he has frequently achieved success (in health care reform, particularly) by doing that for which I criticized him. I hope that is again the case now because the Gulf Speech was not up to his standards nor did it express his mastery of policy.”

The fact that Olbermann was not the Obama administration’s spokesman came as a shock to both liberals and conservatives a like.

However, the fact that he was very sorry surprised no one.

Rachel Maddow jumps on the Presidential dog pile, wants “adult talk” from President Obama

Seems like everyone reported the Olbermann, Matthews, Fineman snit fit, but falling through the cracks was Rachel Maddow jumping on the presidential dog pile.

Tuesday night’s speech from the Oval Office seems to have amused the right and really annoyed the left.

Seems like everyone reported the Olbermann, Matthews, Fineman snit fit, but falling through the cracks was Rachel Maddow jumping on the presidential dog pile.

After leading off with a big sigh, Maddow said, “In the big picture I am excited to see the President treating this with the gravity of something that requires and Oval Office address to the nation. In terms of the content of that address to the nation…I think the country is ahead of the politicians, that we all need to hear a little bit more, and I think we could have all taken a little bit more adult talk from the President.”

Like we said, those of us on the right are amused. Not so much by what Obama said, but by what his strongest supporters said.

Is reality finally setting in? Nah, next time a major policy issue arises, they’ll be drawn back to him like a moth to a flame. Or like flies to shit. Take your choice.

Fred Thompson is one funny son of a bitch

Fred Thompson appeared with Jon Stewart on Friday night and completely disarmed the host of the Daily Show.

If Fred had shown more of this Reaganesque, self-deprecating wit on the campaign trail, he might have won the Republican nomination for President in 2008. And he couldn’t have fared any more poorly than the feckless John McCain.

Jon Stewart says, “Don’t blame Alvin Greene, blame the rest of the South Carolina Democrats”

Here’s his point of view on Alvin Greene winning the right to represent the Democrat primary in South Carolina’s United States Senate race.

We’re not willing to say that Jon Stewart is fair, but he’s as fair as his world view allows him to be. There. How’s that?

Here’s his point of view on Alvin Greene winning the right to represent the Democrat primary in South Carolina’s United States Senate race.

“This is the political equivalent of running yourself a warm bath,” Stewart notes, “falling asleep next to it with your hand in the tub, wetting yourself, and then blaming the Republicans.”

There’s more. Lots more.

U.S. expands sanctions list aimed at Iran’s nukes. Blather. Rinse. Repeat.

For anyone who hasn’t lived in a cave for the last twenty years, it is painfully obvious that “sanctions” never work. It’s pretty much the equivalent of a “time out” for a serial killer, or in this case a deranged dictator – same thing.

Is it us or is G. Washington blushing more than usual?

For anyone who hasn’t lived in a cave for the last twenty years, it is painfully obvious that “sanctions” never work. It’s pretty much the equivalent of a “time out” for a serial killer, or in this case a deranged dictator – same thing.

The Obama administration has a problem with history. They haven’t read it and are rushing to repeat all the mistakes.

The Associated Press reports on Obama’s historical myopia:

The targets include five companies and 90 ships that Iran used to evade three previous rounds of sanctions, said Stuart Levey, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence. Levey said Iran even renamed and repainted some ships to try to evade recognition.

Marina Ottaway, a fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, said she doubts sanctions will push Iran to ditch its nuclear program. “I can’t think of any example of a regime that has been brought to its knees by sanctions,” she said. “Sanctions are an expression of frustration by the countries that enforce them.”

Well, now Miss Ottaway, we beg to differ. We have some ideas for sanctions that will bring Iran to its knees faster than Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. How about embargoing:

Embargo Item #5: If it continues threatening Israel, Iran may need a lot of these radioactive signs

2. No more goat lingerie for Victoria’s Secret Tehran.

3. No more of those “Miami Vice” stubble razors for Iranian men.

4. No more copies of Mein Kampf for Iranian libraries.

5. No more of those helpful “Radioactive” warning signs.

6. No more designer label dynamite vests.

George Washington said, “It is much easier at all times to prevent an evil than to rectify mistakes.”

Barack Obama said he would sit down with any of our enemies without preconditions.

We think we’ll go with Washington on this one.

The love affair is over: British media dumps Obama

The BBC reports of Barack Obama’s speech last night are about as derisive as it would be possible to be about someone you were describing only a few months ago as the incarnation of Hope and Optimism. Yes indeed, the romance is over.

average-englishman
Pip, pip, cheerio! Barack Obama has lost the average Englishman (yes, we know this is a photo of John Steed)

Kaput is the word that best describes Barack Obama’s once torrid love affair with the British media.

And while seventeen months can’t exactly be called a one-night stand, the Telegraph UK reports on President Obama’s walk of shame:

The BBC reports of Barack Obama’s speech last night are about as derisive as it would be possible to be about someone you were describing only a few months ago as the incarnation of Hope and Optimism. Yes indeed, the romance is over. The British media have decided that it was all a cruel deception: Obama is just one more ranting populist president who will do anything to divert attention from his own failure to get a grip. And this is not just about BP and the fate of all those pension funds.

Nor is it simply the demonising of Big Oil – which makes the US president sound as if he were recruiting his speech writers direct from the student union – that has evoked the UK media’s collective sneer. What has been much commented upon – especially by those fastidiously liberal BBC correspondents – is Obama’s pointedly bellicose language: the US is apparently engaged in a “battle” to be waged in very personal, anthropomorphic terms “against an oil spill that is assaulting” its coast. Considering how relentlessly the Bush “war on terror” was ridiculed, how long will it take before the Obama “war on an oil slick” is labelled as absurd? Given the tone of this morning’s coverage, perhaps not very long at all.

Lyndon Johnson famously said, “If I’ve lost Walter Cronkite, I’ve lost middle America.”

Barack Obama can now say, “If I’ve lost the British media, I’ve lost something, but I’m not sure what it is because my Teleprompter seems to be on the fritz.”

66% of voters now say “I Hate The Media” (We appreciate your support)

IHateTheMedia.com has been up and running for a mere 17 months and 66% of American voters now agree that they also hate the media.

hate-the-media-poll
We hate the media. You hate the media. Damn near everyone hates the media.

IHateTheMedia.com has been up and running for a mere 17 months and 66% of American voters now agree that they also hate the media.

As highly-trained mathematicians, we were quickly able to determine that 100% of the nation’s voters will agree with us in another 8 months and three weeks.

Rasmussen reveals the details of IHateTheMedia.com’s vast influence:

Sixty-six percent (66%) of U.S. voters describe themselves as at least somewhat angry at the media, including 33% who are Very Angry.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 31% say they are not angry at the media, but that includes just nine percent (9%) who say they are not at all angry.

…But voters have consistently said in surveys that they believe the national media has a liberal bias and that most reporters try to help the candidates they want to win. Just before Election Day 2008, 51% said most reporters were trying to help Barack Obama win the presidency. Just seven percent (7%) thought they were trying to help John McCain, while 31% viewed their coverage as unbiased.

Now 48% of voters think most reporters when they write or talk about President Obama are trying to help the president pass his agenda. Only 18% think most reporters are trying to block the president from passing his agenda. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say they are simply interested in reporting the news in an unbiased manner.

Thank you. Thank you very much. We appreciate your support and please rest assured that we will continue our battle for truth, justice and the American way. At least until we can sell this damn thing to Salem Communications for millions of dollars. Or thousands. We might be willing to settle for thousands. Make us an offer.

Dutch tax dollars at work: Holland introduces government dating service for unemployed women

Unemployed Dutch women are being offered a €1,400 (£1,150) fashion and beauty makeover and free membership of a dating agency to get them off the dole by finding a solvent husband.

Just your average Friesland woman desperately seeking a makeover and a man with money

We can’t figure out if this is the most brilliant government program ever or just another waste of taxpayer guilders.

The Times UK has details on the world’s oddest dating service:

Unemployed Dutch women are being offered a €1,400 (£1,150) fashion and beauty makeover and free membership of a dating agency to get them off the dole by finding a solvent husband. Single jobseekers will be given a new hairstyle and outfit, and tips from a life coach on how to attract a new partner or a job.

They will also be given instruction in social and presentation skills and a place on the exclusive matchmaking service Mens & Relatie (People and Relationships), boosted by a professional photograph of their new image. Mens & Relatie claims a 75 per cent success rate in finding long-term partners for its clients.

The thinking behind the scheme, organised by three councils in Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands, is that finding love helps to get the unemployed off state benefits by improving confidence, ambition and motivation. Some local politicians, however, have criticised it as unethical and a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Friesland is the ancestral home of IHateTheMedia.com’s editor’s family (back before they emigrated to the United States legally back in the 1880s). It’s a land of hardworking farmers and stunning blonde women. We’re talking really stunning blonde women.

Our advice: Save the money on the makeovers, Holland. Spend it on more dykes.

Pakistani terror leader accidentally blows himself up. Does he qualify for the $5 million bounty on his head?

MSNBC reports on Zafar’s Self-Inflicted Virgin Tour 2010:

qari-zafar-terrorist-bounty
Qari Zafar has assumed room temperature, which coincidentally, is still about 98.6 degrees in Waziristan

Pakistani militant commander, Qari Zafar, who was allegedly involved in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Karachi on March 2, 2002, was killed by an explosive in North Waziristan a few days ago.

The United States had announced $5 million award for his capture. Zafar belonged to Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and was wanted by the government for several terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including masterminding the Marriott Hotel bombing.

His close aides confirmed he was killed as he touched some explosives dumped inside his guesthouse. Militant sources said a meeting of Punjabi Taliban was in progress in North Waziristan to choose his replacement.

All you ever hear is “If you die while committing jihad, you go to paradise and get 53 or 72 or 99 virgins (or whatever today’s number is). But we never hear them say “beautiful virgins.”

So we have a question about the whole virgin thing. What happens if you blow yourself up, get to Paradise and find out the reason your 99 virgins are virgins is that they’re so fat, ugly and repulsive that no one wanted them?

Does Allah allow do overs?

Congress’ new slogan “There’s somebody worse than us!”

In Congress, which has an approval rating even lower than Joe Biden’s IQ, lawmakers were thrilled to be able to degrade and humiliate someone looked upon with more disfavor than themselves – oil executives.

anh-joseph-cao-oil-suicide
No wonder Congressman Cao is so upset. Without petroleum products, he'll need a new hairstyle.

In Congress, which has an approval rating even lower than Joe Biden’s IQ, lawmakers were thrilled to be able to degrade and humiliate someone looked upon with more disfavor than themselves – oil executives.

CNN noted that “A hearing to discuss the future of national energy policy in the wake of the Gulf oil disaster got pretty ugly Tuesday. Lawmakers slammed executives from five of the world’s largest oil companies. At one point Rep. Cliff Stearns, R-Fla., called on Lamar McKay, chairman and president of BP America, to quit his job. Rep. Anh ‘Joseph’ Cao, R-Louisiana, went so far as to suggest McKay try a type of ritual suicide.”

Although the meeting called by Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass) was intended to “focus on the ongoing spill, renewable energy development and the effect of President Obama’s six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling”, It quickly degenerated into a celebration of The Most Ass Kicking President In History’s new get tough policy.

Lawmakers took turns lambasting the oil executives about their poor contingency plans saying “Those plans included ’embarrassing’ errors like a reference to protecting walruses, which haven’t lived in the Gulf Coast for at least 3 million years, and the phone number of a marine biologist who died five years ago.”

(Strangely enough, rumor has it that the deceased biologist voted for Obama last year, but we digress.)

In truth the oil companies plans were horribly outdated and ill equipped to deal with any disaster. Unlike our government’s contingency disaster plan which, which no matter what the disaster may be, calls for raising taxes and passing massive new legislation designed to reduce the United States to third world status.

And that plan seems to be working perfectly so far.

Louisiana residents think Bush did a better job on Katrina than Obama’s doing on the Gusher in the Gulf

Those people who say the Gusher in the Gulf is Obama’s Katrina moment are absolutely wrong. It’s actually his Hindenberg moment. His Titanic moment. His people-have-figured-out-that-I’m-a-fraud moment.

Those people who say the Gusher in the Gulf is Obama’s Katrina moment are absolutely wrong. It’s actually his Hindenberg moment. His Titanic moment. His people-have-figured-out-that-I’m-a-fraud moment.

Want proof? Check out the results of a new poll from left-leaning Public Policy Polling, a left-leaning polling organization:

50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama.

Overall only 32% of Louisianans approve of how Obama has handled the spill to 62% who disapprove. 34% of those polled say they approved of how Bush dealt with Katrina to 58% who disapproved.

There is some good news in the PPP poll. But it’s not for President Obama.

If there’s any ‘winner’ in this unfortunate event it’s Governor Bobby Jindal. 63% of voters approve of the job he’s doing, the best PPP has found for any Senator or Governor so far in 2010. There’s an even higher level of support, at 65%, for how he’s handled the aftermath of the spill.

Remember when Bobby Jindal gave the response to one of Obama’s earlier speeches and the libs howled because he wasn’t a silver-tongued orator like Obama?

Louisiana residents might just tell you that Obama’s all talk, but Jindal’s let his actions do the talking.

In another sign of the impending apocalypse, hooker-hiring former New York Governor Eliot “John” Spitzer is rumored to be this close to landing a regular gig on CNN.

Eliot Spitzer is about to go from sleazy news maker to sleazy news reporter

In another sign of the impending apocalypse, hooker-hiring former New York Governor Eliot “John” Spitzer is rumored to be this close to landing a regular gig on CNN.

The New York Post reports the tawdry details:

Hooker-loving Spitzer is this close to a deal to co-host an 8 p.m. talk show, sources said.

….A source said, “CNN is so desperate, they’re totally abandoning Turner’s original vision of impartial reporting. With talent like Spitzer on board, the people hosting the news will be more controversial than any guests they could book.”

The Post’s Michael Shain reports Spitzer has “all but a done deal” to get a co-host spot at 8 p.m., previously occupied by Campbell Brown, whose ratings had plunged. Spitzer will become half of a talking-head duo on a show fashioned after “Crossfire,” which CNN canceled in 2005. CNN is searching for a conservative partner for Spitzer, who’ll go head-to-head with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly in the time slot, before announcing the new show.

Going head to head with O’Reilly? In that case, we expect Ashley Alexandra Dupre to be brought in as a special consultant in charge of head.
