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.

Noted economist calls Obama “a crappy president”

Arthur Laffer, President Reagan’s favorite economist and creator of the famous Laffer Curve, believes the economy is headed for a “train wreck” in 2011. And he thinks it will be so bad that the current recession look like the good ol’ days by comparison.

Coincidentally, the Laffer Curve also shows the relationship between taxes and President Obama's approval rating

Arthur Laffer, President Reagan’s favorite economist and creator of the famous Laffer Curve, believes the economy is headed for a “train wreck” in 2011. And he thinks it will be so bad that the current recession look like the good ol’ days by comparison.

Human Events reports the details:

In a wide-ranging discussion about where the economy is headed, and the fiscal, tax and monetary reasons why, Laffer gives a bleak forecast of where President Obama and his administration are taking the country in the next three years — which he predicts will end with Obama’s defeat in 2012.

“Obama is a fine, very impressive person. He really is. Unfortunately, everything that he is doing in economics is exactly wrong. He is a crappy president,” Laffer said.

“Whenever a country is in the throes of spending too much and raising taxes, it’s a fiscal catastrophe in the making and this is what is happening now,” he said.

“Crappy,” of course, is a highly-technical economic term that means “socialism doesn’t work.”

Don’t thank us. It’s just what we do.

Noted constitutional scholar doesn’t know the difference between Constitution and Declaration of Independence

President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. Uh-oh. He confused the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence.

President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. He said:

We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….

Uh-oh. Wrong document, President Obama. It’s actually the Declaration of Independence that says:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It is almost zenlike, young grasshopper, that one should attempt to teach that which one has not yet mastered.

What kind of grade would the ol’ professor give a student who made such a basic error?

A solid B+.

Jon Stewart says Chris Matthews is “one scotch away from being Ron Burgundy”

All this time we thought Chris Matthews said those crazy things just because he’s a liberal. But maybe Jon Stewart is right. Maybe Matthews is a drinking liberal, always a dangerous combination (see Kennedy, Ted).

President Obama’s month-long erection may be coming down soon

Indonesian authorities, who just one month ago erected a bronze statue of President Obama as a boy, are now considering a petition to tear it down.

The Indonesian statue of "Little Barry" Obama is coming down even faster than "Big Barack" Obama's approval numbers

Indonesian authorities, who just one month ago erected a bronze statue of President Obama as a boy, are now considering a petition to tear it down.

The statue of “Little Barry” stands in Jakarta’s Menteng Park.

AFP reports the dismantling details:

Critics say the site should have been used to honour an Indonesian and 55,000 people have joined a page on social networking website Facebook calling for the statue to be removed.

“We’ve been discussing for the past two weeks what to do with the statue… whether to take it down, move it elsewhere or retain it. We’re finding the best solution,” Jakarta parks agency official Dwi Bintarto said.

The story continues:

“The statue is of Obama as a child, not as the US president. His relatives and friends who erected it said it’s meant to motivate children to study hard and dream big,” Bintarto said.

Members of the “Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park” group on Facebook say Obama has done nothing for Indonesia.

“Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American,” the web page says.

“For the dignity of a sovereign nation, Barack Obama’s monument in Menteng Park must be removed immediately.”

The Indonesians need to relax. Based on Obama’s experience as President, the statue will undoubtedly do something to bring itself down after about a year.

Little Barry, indeed. And getting littler every day.

Media Matters highlights Obama’s major achievements. Pardon us for laughing.

Media Matters lamented the fact that the rest of the media supposedly ignored all Obama’s significant achievements just so they could claim he has “little to show for ’09.”

Average American contemplating President Obama's significant achievements

Time limitations prevent us from searching every word uttered by Media Matters for hidden meaning. You know, kind of like they do with Fox News?

But a recent article by the left wing media watchdog lamented the fact that the rest of the media supposedly ignored all Obama’s significant achievements just so they could claim he has “little to show for ’09.” Media Matters attempted to “correct” this dastardly misinformation, but some of the things they chose to highlight as President Obama’s signficant achievements are downright hilarious.

For example:

“In the third quarter of calendar year 2009, an additional 600,000 to 1.6 million people were employed in the United States…According to the White House Council of Economic Advisers, CBO has increased its estimate to 800,000 to 2.4 million additional employed through the fourth quarter of that year. Moreover, a November 20, 2009, New York Times article reported that the ‘consensus’ among ‘dispassionate analysts’ is that “the stimulus package, messy as it is, is working.” (Apparently the passionate analysts were not as supportive.)

And let’s not forget transparency. The article says, “The Washington Post reported that moves by the Obama administration to improve government transparency ‘included a ban on lobbyist gifts; restrictions on the hiring of lobbyists; publication of White House visitor logs and other records; and a move to bar lobbyists from serving on advisory boards.'” (No mention is made of all the lobbyists actually employed by the White House nor the transparency promised again and again and again regarding healthcare negotiations being broadcast on C-SPAN.)

Finally, the article trumpets the fact that Obama bravely signed the Tobacco Control Acts. (And he signed it, we assume, just before he ducked out to the Rose Garden to light up another Marlborough.)

C’mon, Media Matters, if these minor frivolous footnotes in history are now considered “significant achievements”, we can only conclude that it’s not tobacco that needs to be controlled in your office.

If you know what we mean.

Chris Matthews says he forgot Obama is black, doesn’t mention if he forgot Obama is red

We’re not sure what Matthews thought Obama may have become, since he’s constantly reminded us for the last year that Obama is America’s first black president and that’s the only reason conservatives don’t like him. But that’s what the MSNBC host said.

Obama worried his deficit commission ploy will be seen as a ploy

President Barack Obama is pledging to tackle the nation’s spiraling deficit immediately. So long as immediately means after the November elections.

President Obama sticks his finger in the air to see which way the political winds are blowing

President Barack Obama is pledging to tackle the nation’s spiraling deficit immediately. So long as immediately means after the November elections.

According to Politico, Obama endorsed legislation to create an independent commission that would create deficit-reduction steps for Congress.

But the move comes so late in the game that that he fears it might seen as a ploy to shore up support for fiscally moderate Democrats. Rest assured that’s only because it’s a ploy to shore up support for fiscally moderate Democrats.

(It should be noted that fiscally moderate Democrats are only Marxists, not Marxist-Leninists.)

As the president points out, “These deficits did not happen overnight, and they won’t be solved overnight.” And, apparently, they won’t even start to be solved until after the elections.

At least he has his priorities straight: President refers to himself 132 times in one speech

Based on last week’s speech in Ohio, we’d have to conclude that the most important issue to President Obama is…well…President Obama.

Let’s just change his name to President Ego-bama and get it over with.

Looking back at one year in healthcare reform: That Obama is one funny guy

We didn’t realize it until we watched this compilation of Obama’s comments on healthcare, but his mantra has gone from “Yes We Can” to “We’re gonna get this thing done.”

Is it just us or is he starting to sound a lot like Larry the Cable Guy?

Mainstream media discovers that their lord and savior, the almighty Obama, is a false god

What an amazing difference seven months can make, as evidenced by these two video clips of Evan Thomas on Barack Obama.

Times have changed and so has the tune sung by the left. What an amazing difference seven months can make, as evidenced by these two video clips.

Then: June 5, 2009. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas says “Obama stands…above the world as sort of God.”

Now: January 26, 2010. Thomas says Obama faces a voter revolt because Americans “smelled dishonesty and a rat.”

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most charismatic Democrat of them all?

Rep Marion Berry says Barack Obama said this: ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”

Another Democrat Congressman announced his retreat retirement yesterday.

But Arkansas’ Rep. Marion Berry didn’t go out quietly. He says he warned President Obama that 2010 could be a bloodbath like 1994 for Democrats and he was shocked by the President’s narcissistic response.

According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette:

Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”

Got that? President Obama, whose approval ratings are in the toilet, whose personal appeals to voters in New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts were worthless, who has foisted this hugely unpopular socialist agenda on the people of the United States, actually thinks his personal charisma will get Democrats elected in 2010.

It’s perfect that on the day this story comes out that the White House should release this photo of Barack Obama admiring himself in a mirror.

The Beatles sing about Barack Obama’s latest poll numbers

Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s down four points since Tuesday morning and matches the lowest level of overall approval yet recorded for this President.

“I’m down. I’m Really down. I’m down. Down on the ground. I’m down. I’m really down. How can you laugh when you know I’m down?”

Rasmussen reports the latest on President Obama’s hope and change:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmsTT9bvWIg “Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s down four points since Tuesday morning and matches the lowest level of overall approval yet recorded for this President. Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters now disapprove. The number of Democrats who approve has fallen from 84% on Tuesday morning to 78% today.”

Uh-oh. We’re running out of “down” songs, but we suspect we’ll need a few more in the coming months.

The only things worse than Obama’s economy
are the jokes

Obama’s economy is so bad that…

Obama’s economy is so bad that…

…I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

…When I ordered a burger at McDonald’s and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”

…CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.

…If the bank returns your check marked “Insufficient Funds,” you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

…Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

…McDonald’s is now selling the 1/4 ouncer.

…Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.

…A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

…Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

…Motel Six won’t leave the light on anymore.

…The Mafia is laying off judges and Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

And, finally…

…I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy that I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

How many jobs have been saved or created? Pick a number, any number.

The whole “jobs created or saved” storyline created by the White House was silly to begin with. But it becomes even funnier when Obama sends his advisors out to talk it up on the Sunday talk shows and they quote wildly different numbers.

Politico.com reports:

The discrepancy was pointed out by a Republican official in an email to reporters noting that “Three presidential advisers on three different programs [gave] three different descriptions of the trillion-dollar stimulus bill.”

Valerie Jarrett had the most conservative count, saying “the Recovery Act saved thousands and thousands of jobs,” while David Axelrod gave the bill the most credit, saying it has “created more than – or saved more than 2 million jobs.” Press Secretary Robert Gibbs came in between them, saying the plan had “saved or created 1.5 million jobs.”

We know three jobs that shouldn’t be saved and never should have been created.

Greatest Orator In History needs Teleprompter to speak to sixth graders

President Obama recently visited sixth grade students at Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia to talk about his “Race to the Top” program. The Greatest Orator In History couldn’t talk to them without his trusty Teleprompter at his side.

Embarrassing? Pathetic? Sad? Choose your own word to describe this story.

President Obama recently visited sixth grade students at Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia to talk about his “Race to the Top” program.

The Greatest Orator In History couldn’t talk to them without his trusty Teleprompter at his side.

The White House has since released raw video that supposedly proves the President didn’t use his Teleprompter. Unfortunately, the raw video ends just as the President finished shaking hands with all the students and before he made any remarks, so it neither proves nor disproves anything.

UPDATE: The video embedded in this story proves now pretty conclusively that the ol’ Teleprompter was used. No question that President Obama is going back and forth from one Teleprompter screen to the other as he speaks to the tykes.

Two words: Empty suit.

First Obama lost Massachusetts, now he may lose France

Despite CNN’s non-stop coverage of the continued horror in Haiti, the left wing network found time to ask this burning question, “Has Obama lost France as an ally?”

Former BAFs (Best Amis Forever) in happier times

Despite CNN’s non-stop coverage of the continued horror in Haiti, the left wing network found time to ask this burning question, “Has Obama lost France as an ally?”

According to CNN, “President Nicolas Sarkozy called the new president ‘my buddy’ and tried urgently to be the first world leader to meet with him…” but “…after a year in office, France’s honeymoon with Obama seems clearly over.”

In case you’re wondering how anyone could dislike the Greatest President In History, especially since the left is constantly reminding us of how much the world loves us now that The One has come, the article gives at least three reasons:

1. “First there were published reports that Sarkozy didn’t think Obama knew his briefing books during the G-20 economic summit.”
2. “Then came widespread sniping along official corridors here that Obama was not measuring up when dealing with world leaders, like Russia’s Dimitri Medvedev.”
3. “And then members of Sarkozy’s government openly complained about how long it was taking Obama to make up his mind about Afghanistan.”

But just to make sure that we know who is really to blame, CNN asks the penetrating question, “So one year on, has President Obama, like his predecessor George W. Bush, lost France as an ally?”

Damn that George Bush. He probably caused the loss in Massachusetts, too.

Obama’s failures? All because of the damned Fox News.

Newshounds, existing, apparently, to “watch FOX so you don’t have to,” the website finds anything and everything Fox related vile and evil and every other combination of those four letters. They hope that in 2010 President Obama “Will Do A Better Job Dealing With Fox News”.

Damn that Fox News. It's all their fault. All of it.

Amid all the truly bizarre excuses that left wingers have offered up to explain the failures of The Greatest President In History, a website called Newshounds has jumped out in front of the pack.

Existing, apparently, to “watch FOX so you don’t have to,” the website finds anything and everything Fox related vile and evil and every other combination of those four letters. They hope that in 2010 President Obama “Will Do A Better Job Dealing With Fox News”.

They point out that an article in New Yorker contained “an admission that one of the reasons Sarah Palin’s ‘death panel’ remark was able to take hold is that the White House thought it too idiotic to deal with. One imagines they won’t be making that same mistake going forward.”

The article goes on to say “Let’s hope so. I’d argue that most, if not all, of Obama’s stumbling blocks last year were at least partly a by-product of his failure to adequately address the right-wing masters of media messaging.”

Really? All of those gaffes, blunders and downright disasters over the course of the last 12 months were because Obama didn’t attack Fox News enough?

Well, there’s hope (and maybe even some change) for the folks at Newshounds.

Dan Pfeiffer, the guy who replaced Anita Dunn as White House Communications Director and Official Fox News Basher, has apparently learned his job well, stating in an interview with the New York Times that, “I have the same view of Fox that Anita [Dunn] had, which is that Fox is not a traditional news organization. They have a point of view. That point of view pervades the entire network both the opinion shows, like Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, but also through the newscasts during the day.” The Times added that “Pfeiffer also said that the White House doesn’t ‘feel an obligation to treat them like we would treat a CNN or an ABC or an NBC or a traditional news organization’ but will have officials appear on the network sometime.”

You go, Dan. With a little hard work, you may raise Fox News’ ratings even higher than Dunn did.

And we’re guessing that would make some heads explode at Newshounds.

The economy’s so bad even Barack Obama’s vocabulary needs work

You’ll never learn this from the biased liberal media, but Barack Obama is Chicago’s answer to malaprop-prone comedian Norm Crosby. He has a habit of throwing out those big ol’ Harvard vocabulary words while intending to use words with completely different meanings, but similar sounds.

You’ll never learn this from the biased liberal media, but Barack Obama is Chicago’s answer to malaprop-prone comedian Norm Crosby. He has a habit of throwing out those big ol’ Harvard vocabulary words while intending to use words with completely different meanings, but similar sounds.

For example, last month he said we were on “precipice” of achieving universal health care. The second meaning of precipice is “The brink of a dangerous or disastrous situation” and although we’re confident that’s not the meaning President Obama meant to convey, we have to give him credit for refreshing honesty.

Now, perhaps, we’re being too harsh on the President. After all, the first meaning of precipice is “an overhanging or extremely steep mass of rock, such as a crag or the face of a cliff” and for all we know he said it while standing on the edge of Mount Rushmore surveying where his giant head should go.

(But then this morning, as you can see in the video, we watched him not even being able to pronounce the fancy-shmancy word in his “Kill the Bankers” populist speech.)

Lest you think he simply misspoke the first time, check out this report from ABC News:

“President Obama said this evening that the nation is on the ‘doorstop’ of accomplishing the health insurance reform, and Republicans will be mistaken if they believe they can campaign against it during this year’s midterm elections.

Of course, we assume he meant doorstep, since a doorstop is “an object or device used to hold a door open or closed, or to prevent a door from opening too widely.”

If he actually used the word he intended to use, there can only be one conclusion:

The President knows ObamaCare is going to fail and he intends to use the 2000-page bloated pig of a bill to prop open the door to the Oval Office to provide even easier accesss for union leaders and lobbyists.

In which case, we apologize.

Obama musical opens in Germany, completely different one opens in our minds

A musical about Barack Obama just premiered in Der Faderland this weekend. 30 German singers, actors and dancers will perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story”. The songs, believe it or not, are based on quotes from speeches made during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.

That Barack Obama surely can sing and dance

A musical about Barack Obama just premiered in Der Faderland this weekend. 30 German singers, actors and dancers will perform in the musical “Hope — the Obama Musical Story”. The songs, believe it or not, are based on quotes from speeches made during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.

We say this dog is destined to open and close in one night.

If the producers really want their musical to be a hit, we say rethink the whole thing. Make it more like Mamma Mia! and build it around new arrangements of old rock ‘n roll hits.

We’re talking gold, baby, gold.

So here’s IHateTheMedia.com’s idea of what would make a Hope: The Obama Musical Story a huge international hit.
