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.

Obama says “the world is a community of nations with more in common than divides us.” Americans divided on the issue.

What the hell do we have in common with Saudi Arabia other than their oil? With China other than their cheap labor? With Tonga other than, well, we don’t know what the hell we have in common with Tonga? Foreign aid, maybe.

How much do you have in common with these Ukrainian peasants
How much do you have in common with these Ukrainian peasants

One of President Obama’s most grating platitudes is the one that says that the world is a community of nations with more in common than that which divides us. Blah-blah-blah.

Chalk up another Obama-ism that the American people aren’t buying. At least that’s what a new Rasmussen Reports poll says:

But just 32% of U.S. voters agree with the idea that the world is a community of nations, more alike than different in outlook and interest. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 44% disagree and 24% are not sure.

A solid plurality of Democrats (47%) share Obama’s global perspective, but 60% of Republicans and 49% of voters of voters not affiliated with either party don’t think the president’s right.

You really can’t blame the American people for blowing off the President on this one. The concept sounds like it was written by a United Nations bureaucrat in search of a million dollar grant. The words sound noble as well as Nobel, but they’re completely empty. It’s just another case of Obama ignoring – or forgetting – America’s exceptionalism.

What the hell do we have in common with Saudi Arabia other than their oil? With China other than their cheap labor? With Tonga other than, well, we don’t know what the hell we have in common with Tonga? Foreign aid, maybe.

Ed Schultz questions Obama’s toughness. Welcome to reality, Ed.

Floundering libtalker Ed Schultz committed heresy on his radio show by (gasp) admitting what conservatives in the United States and leaders around the world figured out long ago: our president is a cupcake.

Floundering libtalker Ed Schultz committed heresy on his radio show by (gasp) admitting what conservatives in the United States and leaders around the world figured out long ago: our president is a cupcake.

Schultz: I’ve noticed on a few stump speeches that he (Obama) tells us that he might be small but he’s tough. And I have thought about all of the past presidents. I haven’t heard a president tell us how tough he is. Am I wrong? Tell me if I’m wrong … And I think that’s rather strange, or unusual. You shouldn’t have to tell us that. You should illustrate this by taking a trip up to Capitol Hill. And getting some of these people that you helped get into office and calling some markers on health care reform.

This is one time we’d say it’s too bad no one listens to Schultz.

Where’s Waldobama?

The fall of the Berlin Wall is one of the most celebrated and iconic events of the late 20th Century. So where’s Barack Obama when the rest of the world is marking the 20th anniversary of the fall?

Obama visited Berlin in better times. (Translation: When it was all about him)
Obama visited Berlin in better times. (Translation: When it was all about him)

The fall of the Berlin Wall is one of the most celebrated and iconic events of the late 20th Century. So where’s Barack Obama when the rest of the world is marking the 20th anniversary of the fall?

You may recall that before he was elected president, Obama wanted to speak in front of the Wall’s historic Brandenburg Gate. Back then, it was all about Him, not some anniversary party and he wanted to be seen in a historic context. Sadly, his request was denied by German authorities. So candidate Obama had to settle for speaking in front of the Victory Column during his Hope and Change Express World Tour 2008.

Could that be part of the reason why Obama is snubbing Berlin? Who knows?

It’s certainly not because he doesn’t like to travel. “In his first year in office,” Columnist Rich Lowry notes, “Barack Obama has visited more foreign countries than any other president. He’s touched ground in 16 countries, easily outpacing Bill Clinton (three) and George W. Bush (eleven).”

Remember, this is the same president who jetted over to Denmark for ONE HOUR to pitch Chicago for the Olympics. So why miss this historic occasion? Is the health care crisis or the state of climate change really so dire that The One can’t take a day to celebrate the triumph of liberty over tyranny? Can’t he delegate something to Joe Biden?

“His schedule is reportedly too crowded,” Lowry explains.

John F. Kennedy famously told Berliners, ‘Ich bin ein Berliner.’ On the 20th anniversary of the last century’s most stirring triumph of freedom, Obama is telling them, “Ich bin beschäftigt.” That is, “I’m busy.”

All of which begs the question: Where is Obama today anyway? Let us know if you find out what was more important than marking the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Must be a beer summit somewhere. Or a golf course that demanded his undivided attention.

Chris Matthews frets, “Where have all the Obama-ites gone?”

Chris Matthews turned into Sybil, alternating back and forth between snarling maniac and jilted lover, pathetic loser and delusional winner. Here he virtually begs White House correspondent to give him some good news.

Matthews: But Chuck, let me get back to you again. Is there such a thing as an Obama believer? In other words, is there a set of beliefs he holds which can be shared by other politicians of the Democratic Party?

Todd: You know, it’s funny you say that. I think right now you’re seeing an argument on the left take place where you’re seeing some criticism of the President — “Hey, where’s all the change?” So I think this is all trying — I think they’re all trying to figure this out. The White House seems to be about, and this President seems to be about pragmatism and — you know, trying to get something done, trying to figure out a solution in Afghanistan, trying to compromise and get health care through.

But you’re right, there isn’t this core set of principles that were so easy to say and do — “change you can believe in” in 2008. I think he’s struggling to translate that to policy. We’re seeing it, this whole Organizing for America wing of the DNC is struggling to work correctly. I think they haven’t figured it out.

Best damn thing we’ve seen on MSNBC in years.

Obama channels Pope Urban VIII, threatens scientists who stray from global warming religion

Pope Urban VIII threatened to excommunicate Galileo because he insisted that the sun was the center of the universe.

Now, a mere 377 years later, Pope Barack is equally adamant that scientists should blindly follow his global warming religion.

obama In 1632, Pope Urban VIII threatened to excommunicate Galileo because he insisted that the sun was the center of the universe.

Now, a mere 377 years later, Pope Barack is equally adamant that scientists should blindly follow his global warming religion.

Last month, President Obama gave a somewhat chilling, if somewhat ignored, speech on climate change at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He stated that any scientific debate about the magnitude of global warming is unscrupulous, decrying “those who . . . make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change, whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary.”

Then, the president talked tough, saying, “We’ll just have to deal with those people,” language familiar to anyone who knows the vagaries of Chicago politics.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost have been replaced by Barack Obama, Cap-and-Trade.

Get on your knees and pray.

The smartest President ever. Well, at least of the last five

Kenneth T. Walsh, Chief White House correspondent for US News & World Report, met the The Greatest President History in person and thinks he’s also the Smartest President In History.

"I'll take The 57 States for a thousand, Alex."
"I'll take The 57 States for a thousand, Alex."

Kenneth T. Walsh, Chief White House correspondent for US News & World Report, met the The Greatest President History in person and thinks he’s also the Smartest President In History.

“Face to face,” Walsh says, “President Obama seems even more unflappable, cerebral, and dispassionate than he appears on television.”

Silly us. We thought things like the war with Fox News, the AP, and Edmonds.com made Obama seem a wee bit thin skinned. But Walsh tells us, “Obama’s natural instinct is to keep his feelings to himself.”

Just to be sure, we’re still talking about Barack Obama, right?

Finally, Walsh says, “I have interviewed each of the past five presidents — Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Obama—and Obama seems the most cerebral and the least emotional of them all.”

That may be true, Kenneth, but we’ll bet you good money that the other four could have told you how many states there are.

Chris Matthews gets a thrill up his medulla oblongata

We now have proof that Chris Matthews not only loves President Obama for his body, but for his mind. Consider the following conversation between Newsweek’s Howard Fineman and the MSNBC host.

Matthews: He’s hung back at a point that’s almost driven us crazy. He has let Harry Reid carry the ball.
Fineman: Well, Chris, one of the things…
Matthews: Is that smart?
Fineman: I think it may turn out to be. I’ve been like you, all over cable TV saying, “How come he isn’t out there pounding away at this? He ought to do it like Ronald Reagan and have four points and pound!”
Matthews: Right, right.
Fineman: That’s not Barack Obama.
Matthews: I know.
Fineman: He is…one of his great qualities, whether you like him or not, is patience. And he’s playing a very patient game here.
Matthews: Howard, is he smarter? Howard, is he smarter than us?
Fineman: Of course, he is. Much smarter!

Yes, Chris Matthews undoubtedly has frequent fantasies of Barack Obama pounding. If you know what we mean.

Who cares if Obama is Kenyan? We want to know if he’s Reptilian?

It’s a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama administration. The bad guys are alien reptiles who bear a very strong resemblance to a certain socialist administration.

v-logo-001

Even if you aren’t a science fiction fan you should check out “V,” the new series on ABC-TV.

Why? It’s a thinly-veiled commentary on the Obama administration. The bad guys are alien reptiles who bear a very strong resemblance to a certain socialist administration.

Don’t take our word for it. Here’s an excerpt from a review in the Chicago Tribune:

Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.

The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”

So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?

Welcome to ABC’s “V,” the most fascinating and bound to be the most controversial new show of the fall television season. Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it’s also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president’s supporters and delight his detractors.

ABC has committed to four episodes of “V.” If it does well, they’ll renew it. Unfortunately, the Obama administration can’t be canceled for three more years.

CIT goes bankrupt. Poof! There go those TARP profits the Obama administration bragged about last month

Remember how the media happily bought the Obama administration’s TARP storyline back in August?

Tim Geithner should remember the words of noted American philosopher and baseball pitcher Satchel Paige, "Don't look back. Something might be gainin' on you."
Tim Geithner should remember the words of noted American philosopher and baseball pitcher Satchel Paige, "Don't look back. Something might be gainin' on you."

Remember how the media happily bought the Obama administration’s TARP storyline back in August?

For example, this report from the New York Times:

As Banks Repay Bailout Money, U.S. Sees a Profit

Nearly a year after the federal rescue of the nation’s biggest banks, taxpayers have begun seeing profits from the hundreds of billions of dollars in aid that many critics thought might never be seen again.
The profits, collected from eight of the biggest banks that have fully repaid their obligations to the government, come to about $4 billion, or the equivalent of about 15 percent annually, according to calculations compiled for The New York Times.

That’s great news! TARP was pure genius. Give Obama a Nobel Prize in Economics to go on the mantel next to the Peace Prize. Except for one thing.

As the Naked Capitalist said, “Credit 101 is that your best borrowers repay first (unless you gave them overly generous terms, of course, then they might hang on to the proceeds). A quick but not conclusive search suggests that only a small portion of the TARP has been retired, so it is wildly premature to declare victory.”

Wildly premature, indeed, considering the latest news from Bloomberg:

Entertainer Ted Danson says you shouldn’t listen to Rush Limbaugh because he’s just an entertainer

Clearly, Cheers star Ted Danson is too stupid to understand the irony of an entertainer involved in politics complaining that another entertainer is involved in politics.

The combination of Joy Behar’s sparkling wit and Ted Danson’s glittering intelligence is a marvel to behold.

(Click the image for a full-sized view of The Ten Commandments according to Barack Obama)

The deification of Barack Obama continues.

Sting says, “He’s sent from God.” Archbishop Gabriel Charles Palmer-Buckle of Ghana said there is “a divine plan behind” Obama’s election. “It’s like the biblical story repeating itself,” the Archbishop said, noting the Old Testament story of Joseph, who became a top government official after being sold into slavery.

As a result, the 1900-page ObamaCare bill will probably be the last piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.

After that, we will all lead our lives based on the wisdom handed down in The Ten Commandments According To Barack Obama.

Obama administration saves or creates 630,239 jobs. 630,240 if you count Manual Zelaya’s job

Lost amid the exciting news that the American economy is roaring back to life and that the Obama administration is creating jobs like nobody’s business is the most important job of all – that of deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.

Under increasing pressure from the Obama administration to violate its own constitution, Zelaya’s opponents have agreed to a U.S.-brokered deal that will return the legally-ousted would-be dictator to power four months after a coup forced him to leave the country.

We can only hope that this job, like most of the other jobs created by Obama’s so-called stimulus, is just a temporary one.

Negotiating with the Iranians is “like playing chess with monkeys”

Britain and other European Union nations are having trouble negotiating with the missilized mullahs of Iran. Who’d a thunk? “It’s like playing chess with a monkey,” said one diplomat close to the talks. “You get them to checkmate, and then they swallow the king.”

Britain and other European Union nations are having trouble negotiating with the missilized mullahs of Iran. Who’d a thunk?

“It’s like playing chess with a monkey,” said one diplomat close to the talks. “You get them to checkmate, and then they swallow the king.”

Two points:

First, if an American diplomat had uttered those words, he would immediately be removed from his position and forced to apologize for comparing the fine, upstanding mullahs to monkeys.

Second, the idiot Europeans obviously haven’t tried America’s super successful approach. Just give them a big, wide grin and a hearty handshake and insult your own country.

Obama concedes defeat on global warming. In his own weasely way.

meeting is a waste of time,” but his actions said it loud and clear.

But President Obama, the polar bears are counting on you!
But President Obama, the polar bears are counting on you!

He didn’t actually say, “The whole damn Copenhagen global warming meeting is a waste of time,” but his actions said it loud and clear.

Here’s how the Times UK tells the story:

President Obama will almost certainly not travel to the Copenhagen climate change summit in December and may instead use his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech to set out US environmental goals, The Times has learnt.

With healthcare reform clogging his domestic agenda and no prospect of a comprehensive climate treaty in Copenhagen, Mr Obama may disappoint campaigners and foreign leaders, including Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, who have urged him to attend to boost the hopes of a breakthrough.

The White House would not comment on Mr Obama’s travel plans yesterday, but administration officials have said privately that “Oslo is plenty close” — a reference to the Nobel ceremony that falls on December 10, two days into the Copenhagen meeting.

The White House confirmed that the President would be in Oslo to accept the prize, but a source close to the Administration said it was “hard to see the benefit” of his going to Copenhagen if there was no comprehensive deal for him to close or sign. Another expert, who did not want to be named, said he would be “really, really shocked” if Mr Obama went to Copenhagen, adding that European hopes about the power of his Administration to transform the climate change debate in a matter of months bore little relation to reality. The comprehensive climate change treaty that for years has been the goal of the Copenhagen conference was now an “unrealistic” prospect, Yvo de Boer, the UN official guiding the process, said last week.

Please allow us to translate President Obama’s actions into words:

“Hell, man, I’m not going to Copenhagen unless I can claim credit for its success and look like the conquering hero I am in my own mind. This thing’s going down in flames, so maybe I’ll send Hillary.”

Or words to that effect.

As Associated Press reports:

University students play with a burning effigy of the President Barack Obama during a demonstration in front of the Afghan Parliament in Kabul, Afghanistan on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2009. Hundreds of Afghans shouted anti-US, NATO and Afghan government slogans and burned effigy of the President Barack Obama during a rally to protest a rumor that U.S. forces had bombed a mosque and burned a copy of the Muslim holy book, the Quran, in nearby Wardak province in mid-October.

But…but…but he gave a speech in Cairo. He told the Muslim world that we love them. He told them that everything was our fault. He told them his middle name was Hussein.
