Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, 44th president of the United States — socialist, radical, and enemy of Americans who believe in the constitution. Here are hundreds of articles on this man.
Barack Obama’s now under water more than the Little Mermaid. People are turning away from him like he cut one in the elevator. He’s about as popular as a venereal disease.

OK, enough is enough. Let’s get on with the details of Gallup’s latest poll:
President Obama ponders America's virulent racism
With his public approval solidly below 50% in September, it follows that less than a majority in most key demographic subgroups approve of the job the president is doing. His staunchest supporters remain blacks (91%), self-identified Democrats (79%), and self-identified liberals (75%).
Several other groups, all tending to be Democratic in their political orientation, give Obama approval ratings just above the majority level. These include young adults, Hispanics, Eastern region residents, political moderates, those who are unmarried, those with a postgraduate education, and those in the lowest income bracket.
Check out the chart. Only 36% of whites are still buying this guy’s snake oil, compared to 91% of blacks.
Problem with a Teleprompter is that it can show you the words, but it can’t tell you how to pronounce them. Wonder if Diane Denish was ever a “corpseman.”

We got this email from one of our readers in Iraq. He’s still there and he’s still fighting the bad guys, no matter what President Obama says.
No humor here. Nary a laugh. We got this email from one of our readers in Iraq. He’s still there and he’s still fighting the bad guys, no matter what the President says:
What about the Combat units that Obama forgot out here? I say this not thirty minutes after returning from a mission into the red zone in Baghdad.
Last time I checked (let me look at the patch on my shoulder again), I belong to an Infantry Brigade Combat Team, and still roll outside the wire on missions almost every day, with on average three firearms (an M4 rifle, M9 pistol, and M240/M249 machine gun depending on the mission) in full body armor, in the turret of an MRAP, with over one thousand rounds of ammunition within easy reach.
If all the combat units/troops are out of Iraq, can we come home now? Were we forgotten?
I must withhold my name as per the law regarding soldiers speaking of such topics, but feel free to research a unit I can not confirm nor deny I belong to, but is also one of these forgotten units: the 256th IBCT national guard unit from Louisiana. If the war is over and we combat units are no longer needed/no longer here, why do I see Baghdad when I step outside my CHU? Why can’t I turn in my weapons and see my family again?
Family Guy is rude, crude, and generally hilarious. It’s the kind of show that makes you laugh out loud one minute and say, “Oh, my god. Did they really say that?” the next. And Sunday’s episode stars Rush Limbaugh.

And by the way, who could disagree with the theory that Nancy Pelosi is a monster who’s addicted to crack?
Arianna Huffington, who is increasingly looking and sounding like Zsa Zsa Gabor, showed up on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, who is increasingly looking and sounding like Ronald Reagan, Jr.

The octogenarian operator of the Huffington Post (what’s that, she’s not 80?) said:
“Maybe progressives and the middle class need to sort of face up to the fact that the president is not that much into them, that he would rather hang out with Larry Summers, or flirt with Olympia Snowe, or play wargames late into the night with General Petraeus.”
Barack Obama flirting with Olympia Snowe? It’s an odd image, but considering who he’s married to, a completely understandable one.
Since the President’s actual brother is still living in a 60-square foot hovel in the slums of Nairobi, we can only assume he means that in a Big Brother sort of way.
So there’s President Obama, talking to ordinary Americans in a backyard in Albuquerque, when he says the following:
First Brother George Obama is still waiting for a little foreign aid from his brother Barack
“So I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead–being my brothers’ and sisters’ keeper, treating others as they would treat me.”

Here’s all the proof you need: Incumbent North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy is not only distancing himself from President Obama, he’s touting his support for “George Bush’s prescription drug plan.”
Is “bloodbath” one word or two? Bloggers and newscasters better find out, because they’re going to be using the word a lot in the next five weeks.
Here’s all the proof you need: Incumbent North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy is not only distancing himself from President Obama, he’s touting his support for “George Bush’s prescription drug plan.”
Let us repeat that just in case you’ve find it hard to comprehend:
Incumbent North Dakota Democrat Earl Pomeroy is touting his support for “George Bush’s prescription drug plan” and saying that his Republican opponent would vote to overturn it.
We ran across a story in Scientific American headlined, “Women Apologize More Frequently Than Men.” Maybe it says more about us than it does about the survey, but our first thought was, “That may explains why the most effeminate president in history is constantly apologizing to everyone for everything.”

The girls discuss politics
Sarah Palin said Arizona Governor Jan Brewer had bigger cojones than Obama. And we provided photographic evidence that it was true. Now Scientific American explains the whys and wherefores:
… recent research revealed a curious twist for why women tend to apologize more.
Researchers analyzed the number of self-reported offences and apologies made by 66 subjects over a 12-day period. And yes, they confirmed women consistently apologized more times than men did. But they also found that women report more offenses than men. So the issue is not female over-apology. Instead, there may be a gender difference in what is considered offensive in the first place. The research appears in the September online issue of Psychological Science.
In a second study, three separate offences were rated by 120 subjects on a 7 point scale. And women consistently rated the three offences as more severe than men did. Turns out that men are just as likely as women to apologize for a given offense. But their threshold for thinking they have committed an offense is higher.
Have we offended anyone with our contention that Obama is effeminate? Don’t expect us to apologize.
Did you ever think you’d see the day that environmentalists abandoned Barack Obama? To paraphrase Guy Mitchell’s old country song, “The President has heartaches by the numbers, troubles by the score.”

Politico.com reports a bit of a rebellion brewing on the far left:
“Obama’s environmental record has been dismal, especially on climate, oil and endangered species,” said Kieran Suckling, executive director at the Tucson, Ariz.-based Center for Biological Diversity. “His early appointment of Ken Salazar as secretary of the interior showed very poor judgment. So yes, a pro-environment Democrat might find a surprising amount of support in a primary battle.”
Glenn Hurowitz, former media director at Greenpeace, aired his complaints in an article on the Huffington Post with this headline: “Environmentalists Need a New President.”
“It pains me to say it, but success will require a new president,” wrote Hurowitz, now a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy. “And that means that after the midterm elections, we need to start looking for a primary challenger who has the heart and soul required to save the planet from catastrophe and rescue American [sic] from its economic morass.”
President Obama’s endorsement is a lot like herpes. A lot of Democrats have it, but none of them want to admit it.

Politico.com has the story of the rapidly spreading Presidential virus:
Rep. Paul Kanjorski and Rep. John Spratt and some guy they've never heard of
Late last week, President Barack Obama endorsed dozens of House Democratic incumbents and candidates across the political map. The news was easy to miss, however, because so few of them sought to publicize their presidential seal of approval…
Some went so far as to make clear that they didn’t seek the endorsement.
“We haven’t put it on the website or in press releases,” said Wil Brown, campaign manager for House Budget Committee Chairman John Spratt, who occupies a conservative-oriented South Carolina district. “I doubt we’ll use it in the campaign.”
Lindsay Fritchman, spokeswoman for Democrat Manan Trivedi, who is running for a suburban-Philadelphia-based district where Obama won 58 percent of the vote, said the campaign had determined it would not actively highlight the endorsement and that, “We think the president’s word is very powerful on its own.”
“Who me? Endorsed by Obama? Obama who? I’m not really familiar with that name.”
President Obama really ramped up the rhetoric during his weekly radio address by warning all of those listening – both of them – to beware of the Republicans’ recently released Pledge to America.
President Obama really ramped up the rhetoric during his weekly radio address by warning all of those listening – both of them – to beware of the Republicans’ recently released Pledge to America.
President Obama closes his eyes before his weekly radio address and tries to visualize himself as competent
It “…is grounded in (the) same worn out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests; and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself,” Obama said, adding, “That’s not a prescription for a better future. It’s an echo of a disastrous decade we can’t afford to relive.”
Funny that he should speak of things we can’t afford since he’s spent twenty months – which certainly seems like a disastrous decade – ensuring that we can’t afford a damn thing.
“Republican proposals showed they were the ones not listening to voters’ desires,” the President continued. “And for all their talk about reining in spending and getting our deficits under control, they want to borrow another $700 billion, and use it to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires.”
The speech left us wondering how the President got from the $250,000 threshold he’s proposed for higher taxes to “millionaires and billionaires”? And while we’re wondering things, we also wondered how passing legislation that over 60% of American voters oppose could possibly constitute “listening to voter’s desires.”
John Bolton has never been accused to being a good politician. He’s too damn honest to deserve that insult. His response to Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama’s Wars:
John Bolton has never been accused of being a good politician. He’s too damn honest to deserve that insult.
His response to Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama’s Wars:
“If the book is accurate … it is some of the most cold-blooded, cynical, grotesquely political manipulation of national security that I think we’ve ever seen.”
“The notion that a President would say that in that kind of callous and just utterly robotic way, I think is yet further indication that Obama is simply not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.”
“Obama is divorced from the American people, I think he is unemphatic, I think he is ‘show that’ and I think the American people have the wit to know what that means.”
Oh, my. He’s lost seniors. He’s lost independents. He’s lost whites. But did you ever think you’d see the day when Barack Obama lost gays?

They’re loud, they’re proud, they’re queer and they’re here. Well, actually, they’re in Manhattan, but nevertheless, Politico.com has their raucous reaction:
President Barack Obama was heckled multiple times during his speech at a Democratic fundraiser in one of the country’s most Democratic cities.
Demonstrators held signs that said “Broken Promises” and interrupted his speech to protest AIDS funding and the stalled repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the policy banning gays from serving openly in the military that Obama has promised to lift.
Obama showed a flash of irritation after he was forced repeatedly off his prepared remarks. “We listened to you, we heard your point,” he told the “young lady” who continued shouting at him about AIDS funding. “This is not the time or the place to do what you’re talking about.”
A flash of irritation? No, he showed a flash of confusion. After all, he’s Barack Obama. How could people heckle him?
Chris Matthews implores President Obama to (a) get rid of his trusty Teleprompter, (b) try being less scripted, (c) try getting in touch with the common man, and (d) start talking plainly.
Poor Chris Matthews is nearly apoplectic. The man he loves is disappointing him again.
In this clip, he again implores President Obama to (a) get rid of his trusty Teleprompter, (b) try being less scripted, (c) try getting in touch with the common man, and (d) start talking plainly.
“I think the teleprompter ought to be sent to, I don’t know where, let’s send it to the furthest place from America, get rid of all the Teleprompters and make him talk to people.”
Watching Chris Matthews these days is like watching a soap opera. You know you’d be embarrassed to have your friends find out you watch, but you do it anyway.
There seems to be a certain sense of entitlement common to the Obama clan. For example, here’s the latest from President Obama’s 58-year-old auntie Zeituni Onyango.

“If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen.”
Translation: If I break into your house, you have the obligation to fix me dinner, let me drink your beer, and give me a nice warm bed, the keys to your car and a credit card.
President Obama has made $12 million in the last few years. He has a brother who lives in a shack in Nairobi and an aunt on welfare in Boston and expects you to pay for their upkeep.
Here’s the President’s latest Bidenism at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Event in Washington, DC.
We don’t mind admitting that we long for the good ol’ days when Joe Biden was this administration’s official moron. Unfortunately, that role is being usurped by the President.
Here’s the President’s latest Bidenism at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Event in Washington, DC.
“Long before America was even an idea,” President Obama said, “this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land.”
One possibility is that President Obama didn’t know that Mexico declared its independence from Spain on September 16, 1810.
The other more disturbing possibility is that he didn’t know United States declared its independence from England in 1776.
Nancy Pelosi is currently calling for a vote on “The Obama Tax Cut’s” But, aren’t the Obama Tax Cut’s actually an extension of the old “Evil George Bush Tax Cuts?”
Taking credit for the success of the Iraqi war and the apparent success of the current campaign in Afghanistan (which, of course, was modeled after a Bush strategy that both Obama and Biden opposed) was apparently not enough. No, The Greatest President Who Ever Was and Ever Will Be is now taking credit for those tax cuts that he used to call irresponsible.
Janet Napolitano is not a ugly lesbian Nazi. She's an appearance-challenged, alternate lifestyle, Democracy optional advocate
According to Fox News, Nancy Pelosi is currently calling for a vote on “The Obama Tax Cut’s.” Wait a minute. Aren’t the Obama Tax Cut’s actually an extension of the old “Evil George Bush Tax Cuts?” You know, just like the extension of the old Evil George Bush Patriot Act, which doesn’t impair anyone’s rights now that it is the “Glory to Obama Wondrous New Laws for Americans Who Do Not Cling To Their Guns Or Their Religion Super Duper Patriot Act.”
Fox News also reports that, “The White House wants the public to start using the term “global climate disruption” in place of “global warming” — fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is.”
President Obama gave a speech last week in which he quoted the Declaration of Independence. Sort of. He made a small, but telling edit.

The President is out there touting an electric car that uses a battery that is, all by itself, more far expensive than the average car. And this is what he uses as an example of the success of his stimulus program.
You get to attend a lot of nice parties when you’re the President. For example, President Obama traveled to Michigan the other day to get down and get funky at the opening of a high tech battery factory. Of course, he touted the factory’s products as evidence of the success of his stimulus program.
The Associated Press reports his electrifying comments:
In case you've ever wondered what a $33,000 battery looks like
“This is about the birth of an entire new industry in America, an industry that’s going to be central to the next generation of cars,” Obama said Monday in a phone call broadcast at the opening of A123 Systems Inc.’s lithium ion battery plant in Livonia, Mich.
“And it’s going to allow us to start exporting those cars, making them comfortable, convenient, and affordable. …. When folks lift up their hoods on the cars of the future, I want them to see engines and batteries that are stamped: ‘Made in America,’” Obama said, according to a transcript of the call released by the White House…
Buried waaaaaaay down in the story was this little gem:
Costs are high. The government has estimated that a battery with a 100-mile range costs about $33,000, although stimulus money could bring that down to $10,000 by the end of 2015.
Got that? The President is out there touting an electric car that uses a battery that is, all by itself, far more expensive than the average car. And this is what he uses as an example of the success of his stimulus program.
Back when President Obama gave his Cairo speech (you remember, the one that ushered in a new era of warm, cordial relations with the Muslim world), he promised to ensure that Muslims could fulfill “zakat.”

President Obama’s losing independents. He’s losing men. He’s losing Hispanics. Now he’s even losing liberal women’s rights groups because his circle of economic advisers is about as women-friendly as the Augusta National Golf Club.

President Obama has wiped the smile off Terry O'Neill's face
Women’s rights groups — including the National Organization for Women (NOW) and The New Agenda — have sharply criticized the White House for not including more women in prominent positions overseeing the economy and financial policy. The groups are pressuring the president to nominate Elizabeth Warren as the inaugural head of a new consumer financial protection office.
“It’s very disappointing. You can’t say unexpected but very disappointing that the president is content to build a boy’s club in the White House in many areas,” Amy Siskind, head of The New Agenda, said Friday after the president named Goolsbee to the job.
“The problem with the president insulating himself with the old boys around him is that he is really not getting information about how people are struggling, how women are struggling,” Terry O’Neill, head of NOW, said earlier last week.
You have to admit that the women have a point. They couldn’t screw this economy up any more than Obama’s boyfriends have.
Think of it as President Obama’s Mission Accomplished moment. The moment, that is, when he announced that the American combat mission in Iraq was over thanks to his decisive leadership.

Reuters – left wing Reuters, of all places – has the details:
President Obama says combat is over in Iraq. The troops beg to differ.
U.S. Staff Sergeant Kendrick Manuel swung his rifle over his shoulder and grumbled about being viewed as a “non-combat” soldier in Iraq.
“When NBC talked about the last combat troops are gone, they made it sound like everything is basically over,” he said, after escorting a 19-truck convoy through a part of northern Iraq where roadside bombs and mortar attacks are still a danger.
“To us it was like a slap in the face, because we are still here … we are still going in harm’s way every time we leave out of the gate,” Manuel said at a U.S. military base, Camp Speicher, near Saddam Hussein’s home town of Tikrit.
On August 31, the U.S. military formally declared an end to its combat mission in Iraq, 7-1/2 years after the invasion that removed Saddam and led to sectarian warfare and a fierce insurgency in which tens of thousands of Iraqis were killed.
More than 4,400 U.S. soldiers have been killed since 2003.
U.S. networks such as NBC showed what the U.S. military labeled the last combat brigade rumbling into Kuwait. Soldiers whooped and shouted on camera that the war was over.
Yet, there are still six brigades made up of 50,000 troops in Iraq, ahead of a full withdrawal at the end of 2011. Their focus is to assist and advise their Iraqi counterparts, not lead the fight against insurgents, but they remain heavily armed and face frequent threats.
Well, what the hell. We say cut the Obama administration a little slack on this one. It’s as close to the truth as they’ve come in many months.
What the hell, Mr. President, it’s not like you’re on the campaign trail, visiting five states a day. You were in Ohio. O-H-I-O. Write it on the palm of your hand.

If you saw it in a movie, you’d say it was so preposterous that it was a fatal flaw in the plot. It’s just so unbelievable that it’s…well…unbelievable.

Of course, Fox News reported the story that the other networks couldn’t be bothered with:
Mexican oil, sí! American oil, no!
Despite President Obama’s moratorium on U.S. deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Export-Import Bank intends to guarantee $1 billion in loans to PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, to bolster the company’s oil drilling in the region.
The bank, which is the official American export credit agency, loaned more than $1 billion to PEMEX in 2009 — when the company was the bank’s largest borrower — in support of its drilling activities. That year, the bank also guaranteed two loans totaling $300 million made by a commercial lender.
The latest request comes during a drilling moratorium that was first imposed by Obama in May to find out what was the cause behind the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP’s undersea well.
After a federal court struck down the ban amid complaints that it threatened thousands of jobs in the offshore oil industry, the Obama administration issued a new moratorium in July on most deep-water drilling activities that is in effect until Nov. 30.
The Export-Import Bank said the moratorium doesn’t affect its pending deal with PEMEX.
Here’s a knife. Stab me. Here’s a gun. Shoot me. Here’s a rope. Hang me.
