Jack Cafferty looks into Obama’s future. It ain’t pretty.

Jack Cafferty has a couple major screws loose. But this is interesting because the CNN-er has turned increasingly hostile to President Obama in the last few months.

Don’t get us wrong. We think Jack Cafferty has a couple major screws loose. But this is interesting because the CNN-er has turned increasingly hostile to President Obama in the last few months.

NewsBusters.org reports Cafferty’s look into the crystal ball:

Cafferty: President Obama is taking a lot for granted. Politico is reporting that top White House advisers are quietly working on plans for the 2012 reelection campaign. For now, the planning is made up of private closed door meetings among aides at all levels.

I guess when you have the economy and health care reform and the deficits under control, then you can spend your time worrying about the next election — even if it’s almost three years away.

The article’s sources say the president has given every sign he plans to run again, wants the next campaign to look a lot like the last one.

Well, my guess is it won’t turn out quite the same way.

It’s believed the re-election campaign would be managed by the White House deputy chief of staff, Jim Messina, and possibly be run out of Chicago, which is a good way to remove it from beltway politics and locate it, instead, in that bastion of good government.

The planning still in its early stages, but some say it would likely launch in about a year. Nonetheless, there’s still a long way to go. President Obama’s approval rating hovering at around 50 percent. And a majority of Americans say he doesn’t deserve to be re- elected. The American people were promised change and a lot of them think this administration is just more of the same.

And if the jobs don’t start coming back soon, well, he may want to see if that community organizer job is still open.

From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust, from community organizer to community organizer.

The circle of life. And death panels.

This story may just make you wish you were a transsexual

A transsexual cabaret performer named Rose Wood engaged in projectile vomiting on stage and hit Susan Sarandon with it.

One of the few times you’ll ever see Susan Sarandon leaning to the right.

It would almost be worth it. Almost. Because lord knows we’d give almost anything for the opportunity to puke on Susan Sarandon.

Oscar winning actress Susan Sarandon has had a bad time of it lately. The actress recently separated from her long time partner, actor Tim Robbins. Sarandon attended the third anniversary of The Box in New York’s Lower East Side.

A transsexual cabaret performer named Rose Wood engaged in projectile vomiting on stage and hit Sarandon with it.

Standing nearby were Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schreiber. 



According to Wood it was not intended as an affront to the actress and she didn’t take it that way.



“Apparently [Sarandon] got a big kick out of it. She squealed with surprise and loved it when several handsome gentlemen wiped it off of her. She had a ball! I saw her assistant downstairs afterward, and he was moved by it! She was in great spirits,” Wood told the New York Press.

Right. Sure. She loved being thrown up on at a fancy-schmancy event. And Johansson and Schreiber were terribly disappointed that they weren’t thrown up on by any transsexuals.

“Why does that Sarandon bitch get to have all the fun,” Johansson reportedly asked.

“I’m throwing a party next week,” Schreiber thought to himself. “I hope some transsexuals show up and puke on my guests.”

Consider this convincing evidence that Sarandon is just as crazy as we’ve always suspected.

John Boehner sums up ObamaCare for the President

Republican House leader John Boehner summed Obamacare it all up for the President prior to this morning’s much-anticipated Healthcare Summit.

To paraphrase John Boehner, "Now wait just a darn minute, Mr. President."

Republican House leader John Boehner summed it all up for the President prior to this morning’s much-anticipated (hey, Katie Couric described it that way, so it must be true) Healthcare Summit:

Opinion: Who’s Listening to the American People?

For his part, President Obama comes to the table with the same massive government takeover of health care that the American people have already rejected. In effect, the president’s proposal actually takes the 2,733-page bill that the Senate passed on Christmas Eve and manages to make it worse. Even more Medicare cuts. Even more tax hikes. Plenty of special-interest deals still in place. A trillion-dollar price tag.

This latest Democrats-only backroom deal snuffed out any chance that this summit could serve as the starting point for a bipartisan consensus. Democrats are instead hoping that this media event can be the gateway to a final push that involves circumventing the will of the people and jamming a bill through using parliamentary tricks.

This is the same arrogance and overreaching that the American people are so fed up with. It’s why Massachusetts happened. It’s why Americans waited for hours in the August heat to get into town hall meetings and make sure their voices were heard.

Indeed, we’ve been here before. Shortly after Labor Day, the president gave an address to Congress designed to resuscitate his proposed government takeover of health care. That speech was followed by an all-out media blitz. It was described as a “last-ditch effort,” “an opportunity to take back the initiative.” Nearly six months later, still no health care bill has been signed into law, tens of thousands more have lost their jobs and unemployment is still near 10 percent.

All this uncertainty is hurting small businesses, the engine of job creation in our country, while Americans are rightly asking: “Where are the jobs?”
The president’s health care media blitz was based on the notion that the more the American people learn about his plan, the more they would come to like it. Now that just the opposite has occurred, the president has chosen to limit participation in the Thursday summit to administration officials and congressional leaders. America’s governors and state legislatures have been excluded. Their perspective from the front lines about the damage this massive government takeover of health care would do to cash-strapped states is apparently not welcome. That’s greatly disappointing, considering that measures have been introduced in at least 36 state legislatures opting out of a federal takeover of health care.

Also excluded from today’s summit is Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., co-author of a House-passed amendment barring federal funding of abortion. The Stupak-Pitts amendment — which reflects the will of the American people on the issue of federal funding of abortion — is supported by a bipartisan majority in the House, but was excluded from the president’s proposal. Pro-life Democrats in the House have already pledged to vote against this provision. Health care reform should be an opportunity to protect human life — not end it. This fundamental issue isn’t even listed as a topic for discussion at the summit.

The president can hold all the summits he wants, but the toothpaste is out of the tube: The American people don’t want this massive government takeover of health care. No summit or speech or sales pitch can fix a fundamentally flawed 2,000-plus-page health care bill that spends money we don’t have and kills the jobs we need to get our economy moving again.

Let’s listen to the American people and let’s start over.

Any questions, President Obama?

During the presidential campaign, Candidate Obama condemned John McCain for saying he would appoint a commission to solve the deficit problem. Oops. Now President Obama is all in favor of, you guessed it, appointing a commission to solve the deficit problem.

Good god, these Hollywood buffoons really do take themselves too seriously

Don’t bother pointing out that Cate Blanchett is Australian. She makes movies, which makes her a Hollywood-type in our minds.

Don’t bother pointing out that Cate Blanchett is Australian. She makes movies, which makes her a Hollywood-type in our minds.

Blanchett wrote an opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald that makes acting sound like something so dangerous that it should only be attempted by a stuntman (or in this case, perhaps, a stuntwoman).


”We change people’s lives, at the risk of our own.”

And Ms. Blanchett was just getting warmed up. The overheated hyperbole continued:

“We change countries, governments, history, gravity.”

And if she were on television, we’d change the channel.

When Harry met Barry: No wonder these guys want “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Obama and Reid plan to cling to each other through the storm. The two politicians will be by each other’s side at three events in less than 24 hours.

Have you ever seen The Tao of Steve? Apparently Harry Reid has. The film’s protagonist lives by a strict set of rules that enhance his potential for sexual conquests.

The first rule is “Women can smell an agenda.” In other words, by pretending you’re not buying what they’re selling, they’re yours. For example, maybe you could disagree with something they say.

Hmm. Politico reports:

Obama irked Reid when for the second time he used Las Vegas to highlight poor economic decisions, saying, “You don’t blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.” Reid fired back, telling Obama to “lay off Las Vegas.”

The second rule is to do something great, “thus demonstrating your…worthiness.”

At times Obama questioned Reid’s approach, but he ultimately trusted that he knew his caucus better than the president did. And Reid ultimately got the job done, passing a health care bill in a dramatic Christmas Eve vote hours before Obama jetted off to Hawaii with his family for the holidays.

And the third rule is “play hard to get.” So it’s not surprising that we would find Obama

…blindsided last week by Reid’s decision to abort a bipartisan jobs bill…

So just how effective is the message of “The Tao of Steve?” According to Politico:

Obama and Reid plan to cling to each other through the storm.

The two politicians will be by each other’s side at three events in less than 24 hours.

Cling all you want, gentlemen. It’s a don’t-ask-don’t-tell-world and in the immortal words of Sgt Shultz, we zee nozhing.

O’Reilly: “Is Obama a socialist?”
Newt: “Of course, he is.”

Bill O’Reilly seems absolutely dumbfounded by the answer to the question he asked Newt Gingrich: Is Obama a socialist?

Our moms always said, ”Don’t ask the question if you can’t handle the answer.” Maybe Bill O’Reilly should have followed that advice, because he seems absolutely dumbfounded by the answer to the question he asked Newt Gingrich.

O’Reilly: So the question becomes, “Is the president a socialist?” Let’s remember the definition of socialism that the government controls property and commerce. Does Mr. Obama want to seize your house? I say no others say yes but there’s no question the president wants income redistribution and more government control over things like health care… Talking Points believes the fed should have some oversight on health care companies but the price can be driven down if the companies are allowed to compete nationwide. Why doesn’t the president try that before he sets up another big brother operation in Washington? Look these things are complicated. To call Obama a socialist or communist is over-simplifying. Americans need healthcare relief. There’s no question about it. But, it can be done using competition in the free market place and common sense like tort reform where lawsuits against medical personnel are scrutinized. As we said last week, name-calling gets us nowhere. Good solutions to complicated problems will rule the day. Or, am I wrong? And, that’s a memo and now for the top story, joining us from Washington FOX News analyst Newt Gingrich. He has a free newsletter that you can sign up for at Newt.org. So do you think President Obama’s a socialist?

Gingrich: Sure. Of course he is.

Why are we not surprised that O’Reilly is surprised at Newt’s answer?

Global warming causes smaller trees. Except when it causes larger ones.

The Washington Post wins this week’s Alarmism-In-Action award for blaming global warming for larger trees and smaller trees in the same article.

This is the future of our redwood forests unless we spend trillions of dollars now

It’s well documented that the global warming crowd blames global warming for absolutely everything, no matter how illogical those claims may be.

But the Washington Post wins this week’s Alarmism-In-Action award for blaming global warming for larger trees and smaller trees in the same article.

First the larger trees:

Parker’s data, which showed the trunks gradually fattening over time, indicated that many of the trees were growing two to four times faster than expected. That raised questions about climate change’s impact on the age-old rhythms of U.S. forests.

But enough about those darn larger trees. What about the smaller ones?

In the tropics, however, some studies have seemed to show trees growing more slowly: It might now be too hot for some trees there.

Excellent work, WaPo. Clear some space in the lobby, because we have a feeling that there’s another Pulitzer Prize coming your way very soon.

Obama and Democrats condemned reconciliation in 2005 when Republicans threatened to use it

First, here’s a 2005 video in which Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid says Republicans should stop complaining about the Democrats’ plan to force ObamaCare into law via the reconciliation process.

“Waaaaaaaaaa! Waaaaaaaaa!”

Looks like the Dems didn’t like the concept of the nuclear option until they and their lackeys in the media gave it the kinder, gentler name of reconciliation.Obama: He hasn’t gotten his way. And that is now prompting, you know, a change in the Senate rules that really, I think, would change the character of the Senate forever. And what I worry about would be that essentially you have two chambers, the House and the Senate, but you have simply majoritarian absolute power on either side. And that’s just not what the Founders intended.

Hillary: So this President has come to the majority here in the Senate and basically said, “Change the rules. Do it the way I want it done.” And I guess there just weren’t very many voices on the other side of the aisle that acted the way previous generations have acted and said, “Mr. President, we’re with you, we support you, but that’s a bridge too far. We can’t go there. You have to restrain yourself, Mr. President.”

Schumer: We are on the precipice of a crisis. A constitutional crisis. The checks and balances which have been at the core of this republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances which say that if you get fifty-one percent of the vote you don’t get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing. It is almost a temper tantrum.

Eurocrats spend $272,000 to portray themselves as comic book heroes

Bureaucrats in the European Union have blown through $272,000 to create and distribute a comic book graphic novel in which they are portrayed as larger than life heroes.

What took the Eurocrats so long? We had an Obama-as-super-hero comic a year ago.

Consider this an omen of things to come in America. Bureaucrats in the European Union have blown through $272,000 to create and distribute a comic book graphic novel in which they are portrayed as larger than life heroes.

The Telegraph UK reports the super good news:

“… European Commission officials have had their revenge – by producing a lavish comic book portraying themselves as heroes battling to save the world.

More than 300,000 copies of the glossy hardback–printed in five languages at a cost of £200,000–are being sent to homes and schools in the UK and across the Continent.

The graphic novel follows the ‘adventures’ of Zana, Max et al at the European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid Department – known as ECHO – as they struggle to secure funding for the fictional sate of Borduvia, which has been devastated by an earthquake.

Written by a Belgian graphic novelist Erik Bongers, Hidden … contains such immortal dialogue as: “We must inform the Commissioner! She’s briefing the European Parliament on the earthquake tomorrow.”

The book’s heroine Zana, a feisty, beautiful aid worker whose uniform consists of a safari jacket with the European Union flag emblazoned upon it, is then dispatched to Borduvia by bearded and besuited bureaucrats to sort out the humanitarian crisis.

Of course, Obama-as-super-hero comics have already been produced, but only by actual profit-making companies. Look for those firms to be among the last American companies to be nationalized by the Obama administration.

Harry Reid announces that he’ll begin beating his wife on November 3, 2010

Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid says unemployed men beat their wives. And since Harry will undoubtedly be unemployed as of Wednesday, November 3, we suggest that Mrs. Reid take a self-defense course or two.

The Hill reports the story of Punchy Harry’s pugilistic prognostications:

Reid, speaking in the midst of a Senate debate over whether to pass a $15 billion package meant to spur job creation, appeared to argue that joblessness would lead to more domestic violence.



“I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “Why? Men don’t have jobs.”

Reid said that the effects of joblessness on domestic violence were especially pronounced among men, because, Reid said, women tend to be less abusive.

“Women don’t have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time,” he said.

“Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive,” the majority leader added. “Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed.”

Our money’s on Mrs. Reid. We’re pretty sure she can beat that pasty, sunken-chested little fella like a drum.

Of course, it won’t be nearly as bad as the beating he gets from his Republican opponent.
