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.
Sundae, bloody sundae
While Iranians were dying on the streets of Tehran, President Obama showed his support for their struggle by taking the girls out for ice cream.

Watch out below! President’s popularity sinks into negative territory for first time in Rasmussen poll
President Obama’s popularity has been sinking faster than the Titanic lately. This is confirmed by today’s Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll.
President Obama’s popularity has been sinking faster than the Titanic lately. This is confirmed by today’s Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll.
32% of voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. 34% Strongly Disapprove. That gives the President a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2%
That’s the first time President Obama’s daily rating has ever gone into negative territory.
Rasmussen says, “Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats Strongly Approve of the President’s performance but only 8% of Republicans share that view. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove.”
Say bye-bye healthcare. Say adios cap and trade. Say au revoir further stimulus.

Even Egyptian dictatorship shows more support for Iranian democracy than Obama does
Barack Obama is an amazing man. He spoke in Cairo on June 4 and instantly transformed the entire Middle East. In fact, the transformation has been so complete that the dictatorial regime in Egypt can now give Obama lessons on how to speak out against the brutal Iranian regime.
Barack Obama is an amazing man. He spoke in Cairo on June 4 and instantly transformed the entire Middle East. In fact, the transformation has been so complete that the dictatorial regime in Egypt can now give Obama lessons on how to speak out against the brutal Iranian regime.
Here’s a translation of a June 18 editorial from the Egyptian government daily Al-Ahram:
Events in Iran have followed in close succession since the announcement that fundamentalist candidate Ahmadinejad was elected to a second term in the presidential elections. Between the mass demonstrations [of the reformists] decrying electoral fraud, and the counter-demonstrations accusing the reformists of allegiance to the West, the international community has stood confused about what position to take towards this democratic outpouring in a country that is on the threshold of acquiring nuclear capabilities, something all international and regional actors consider an unwelcome development.
The caution that has characterized the position of the principle international actors towards the abuses occurring in the streets of Iran, up to and including the killing [of protesters], may be sending the wrong message to the ruling powers there. The upshot of this message is that the strong desire to reach a political resolution to the Iranian nuclear crisis and to avoid a clash with the Iranian authorities is a goal that supersedes all other considerations – even if these other considerations be support for international principles and human rights, and the urging of the [Iranian] government to stop the violence and bloodshed and to lend an ear to the views of the Iranian opposition. [This opposition] has expressed its rejection of the election results and its resistance to a second term for the current president, primarily for domestic reasons, and principle among them [Ahmadinejad’s] failed management of the economy.
In other words, grow some cojones, President Obama.
(“Cojones,” of course, is an Arabic word meaning “backbone.”)

Obama, Where’s My Check?
This multimedia presentation is one of the best anti-Obama videos we seen in quite sometime. Great foot-tapping music, hundreds of images, and it perfectly captures the mood of the left in America, who ask, Obama, here’s my check?

Taliban leader gets it half right, calls Obama
“a black ass”
Barack Obama is turning into Washington, DC’s version of Rodney Dangerfield. He’s apologized to nearly everyone and still can’t get any respect.
Angela Merkel is appalled by his economic program. Hugo Chavez insults him. Mahmoud Achmadinejad fixes an election with inpugnity. Kim Jong-Il ignores him. Fidel Castro taunts him. And now, in the ultimate sign of disrespect, a Taliban spokesman is comparing him to George Bush.
Mullah Nazeer Ahmad, Emir of the Taliban Mujahideen in Pakistan’s South Waziristan, insists the Taliban’s jihad will not end when the U.S. pulls out of Afghanistan. Nope. He says the Taliban jihad is going global.
“One white ass has gone. A black ass has taken over in his place. To have any expectations will corrode our belief. We put our trust only in Allah…We cannot expect from Bush or Obama that they will be relief for us. Instead, our difficulties are soothed by jihad.”
Yeah, we’ve always found that there’s nothing more soothing than slicing off an infidel’s head to sooth us at the end of a long, stressful week. Either that or an apple cocktail.
How’s that apology tour working out for you, Mr. President?

Cramer speaks the unspeakable: “Everybody wishes Obama would just kind of go away”
“Until we get the economy moving again,” Jim Cramer told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, “I think everybody just kind of wishes Obama would go away for a little bit.”

Obama gives ABC exclusive access after ABC employees give him massive edge in donations
The liberal media swears up and down that it’s impartial. Completely unbiased.
Of course, that doesn’t exactly square up with the revelation that 130 ABC employees made donations to Obama, but only 4 donated to McCain/Palin.

Of course, that doesn’t exactly square up with the revelation that 130 ABC employees made donations to Obama, but only 4 donated to McCain/Palin.
But it may explain why ABC News was granted the exclusive right to tout Obama’s healthcare fiasco in an all-day White House-a-thon broadcast on June 24.
Ace of Spades notes:
If a Muslim group accuses them of exhibiting anti-Muslim bias, they don’t pooh-pooh that charge. They immediately have meetings with the group, put a panel on the subject on Nightline, elevate a Muslim journalist to some sort of bias-ombudsman position, etc.
They take such charges of bias seriously, in other words, so long as the charges come from groups associated with the left.
It’s only when Republicans charge bias they dismiss the complaints and refuse to make any attempts at amelioration at all.
ABC. It used to stand for “American Broadcasting Company,” but now it stands for “All Barack Channel.”

Obama to Kim Jong-Il: “Pretty please with sugar on it”
The Obama administration will order the Navy to hail and request permission to inspect North Korean ships at sea suspected of carrying arms or nuclear technology, but will not board them by force.
Watch out, Kim Jong-Il. President Obama’s on the warpath. Well, it’s not so much the “warpath” as it is the “talk-really-nice-and-dictators-will-do-what-you-want path.”
It’s been reported that he’s ordered the American Navy to ask real nicely if we can inspect the cargo on North Korea’s ships.
Here’s how the New York Times reports it: “The Obama administration will order the Navy to hail and request permission to inspect North Korean ships at sea suspected of carrying arms or nuclear technology, but will not board them by force, senior administration officials said Monday.”
“Well, sure, Imperialist Yankee Dogs. Come aboard and take a look. And while you’re here, let’s have a little kim chee.”
We suspect that this will work out about as well as Obama’s fist bump with Hugo Chavez and his pretty letter to Mahmoud Achmadinejad.
Maybe there is something to this reincarnation stuff. Because it sure looks like Barack Obama was Neville Chamberlain in a previous life.

Obama administration poised for forceful confrontation. Problem is, it’s with Americans.
The Obama administration is poised for its most forceful confrontation with the American public on the sweeping and life-altering consequences of a failure to act on global warming with the release today of a long-awaited scientific report on climate change.
Here’s how the Guardian UK reports Obama’s release Wednesday of a new report on global warming:
“The Obama administration is poised for its most forceful confrontation with the American public on the sweeping and life-altering consequences of a failure to act on global warming with the release today of a long-awaited scientific report on climate change.”
And here’s how the same newspaper reports his response to the democratic movement in Iran:
“It’s not productive given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling.”
It’s also not productive, apparently, to have a backbone or core beliefs.

Obama swats and kills fly. PETA complains and kills satire.
PETA, aka People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, should now stand for People for the Equivalent Treatment of Anything. The organization officially became a caricature of itself as it criticized President Obama for swatting a fly.
There’s really nothing left to satirize. Absolutely nothing. Soon The Onion will be running straight news, because everything has become parody.
PETA, aka People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, should now stand for People for the Equivalent Treatment of Anything. The organization officially became a caricature of itself as it criticized President Obama for swatting a fly.
“We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said. “Swatting a fly on TV indicates he’s not perfect.”
So to make sure it doesn’t happen again, PETA sent the president a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, which allows users to trap and release flies.
On the bright side, life must be practically heaven on earth when this is all you have to complain about.
For the record, we love animals and hate animal cruelty. But how is a fly the same as an animal? What’s next, equal rights for mosquitoes?

A tale of two presidents: Reagan inspired the people of Poland, Obama sells out the people of Iran
Ronald Reagan knew how to inspire the people of Poland in 1981, unlike Barack Obama, who is selling out the people of Iran in 2009.
Here’s what Ronald Reagan said in 1981 when the people of Poland revolted against their autocratic rulers:
The Polish nation, speaking through Solidarity, has provided one of the brightest, bravest moments of modern history. The people of Poland are giving us an imperishable example of courage and devotion to the values of freedom in the face of relentless opposition. Left to themselves, the Polish people would enjoy a new birth of freedom. But there are those who oppose the idea of freedom, who are intolerant of national independence, and hostile to the European values of democracy and the rule of law.
Two Decembers ago, freedom was lost in Afghanistan; this Christmas, it’s at stake in Poland. But the torch of liberty is hot. It warms those who hold it high. It burns those who try to extinguish it.
Here’s what Barack Obama said in 2009 when the people of Iran protested a fraudulent election:
“It’s not productive given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling.”
Way to go, Mr. President. You put the fear of God into the theocracy with that one.
Do as Barack Obama says, not as Barack Obama does
Obama tells you what not to smoke, what not to drink, and what not to eat, but is no role model. He smokes, drinks and eats the wrong things.
In another blatant example of the Obama administration’s “Do as I say, not as I do” Policy, the President wants to give the government a central role in determining your diet. We call it butting in where the government doesn’t belong, but health experts call it a new era of activism.
According to the Politico:
The president is filling top posts at Health and Human Services with officials who, in their previous jobs, outlawed trans fats, banned public smoking or required restaurants to provide a calorie count with that slice of banana cream pie.
Even Congress is getting into the act, giving serious consideration to taxing sugary drinks and alcohol to help pay for the overhaul.
To some, it smacks of a “nanny state on steroids” — but for others who fret that America is turning into one big Overeaters Anonymous meeting, Obama’s prescription is like a low-fat dream come true.
“He has expressed more interest in preventing diseases and promoting health than any previous president. It is not a breath of fresh air. It is a tornado,” said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “That contrast is breathtaking. This is really a rare opportunity to make progress on so many issues.”
So when they tell you what not to smoke, what not to drink, and what not to eat, keep these photos in mind.
Then smoke what you want, drink what you want, eat what you want. And in 2010, vote for what you want.

Bill Maher rips The One a new one
What are we to think when unhinged leftist Bill Maher turns on President Obama?
What are we to think when unhinged leftist Bill Maher turns on President Obama?
From the first line of his Friday night rant (“President Obama should just join the cast of “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!” It’s not that farfetched; he’s been on everything else.”) to the last (“I’m glad that Obama is president, but the ‘Audacity of Hope’ part is over. Right now, I’m hoping for a little more audacity.”), Maher rips The One a new one.
Of course, Maher’s real complaint is that Obama hasn’t been socialist enough fast enough. But still, he manages to compare him unfavorably to both President Bush and Lindsay Lohan.
This may be the first and only time we ever recommend watching Maher. So enjoy it.

How did we miss this: Obama declares June “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month”
President Obama has proudly, but oh-so-quietly declared June “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.”
Remember when Presidents announced things like “National Mom and Apple Pie Month” and “National Flag Month”? Well, those days are gone.
President Obama has proudly, but oh-so-quietly declared June “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.”
“In a difficult-to-find declaration posted on the White House Web site on June 1,” the Christian Post notes, “Obama praised LGBT Americans for their continual ‘great and lasting contributions’ that ‘strengthen the fabric of American society.’”
“Obama follows in the footsteps of former President Bill Clinton,” the Post continues, “who also issued a similar proclamation in 1999 and 2000. But Clinton did not use the term transgender in his version. He did, however, reference bisexuals. President George W. Bush, in contrast, did not issue any LGBT proclamation during his eight years in office.”
What about black midgets elves? What about left-handed native Eskimo barbers? What about cross-eyed albino terrorists?
For god’s sake, President Obama, do the right thing and give these oppressed minorities the national months they so richly deserve.

New Chrysler car designed to pound your tax dollars down a rat hole
According to Chrysler, their new 2009 Chrysler Peapod will have a “new look and feel.” And if that doesn’t give you a warm glow about President Obama’s brilliant investment, they also say it has an “innovative, groundbreaking design.”
What’s Chrysler doing with those billions of tax dollars you’ve so kindly handed them? Trust us, you don’t want to know. But since you asked, it’s our obligation as journalists to tell you the truth.

The “new” GM comes up with “new” ideas
by stealing them
Now that President Obama has written out a big, fat check to General Motors and put a 31-year old crony with no business experience in charge of it, you’re probably wondering what they’re doing with the money. The answer, according to Wired, is stealing the best ideas from tax paying entrepreneurs.
Now that President Obama has written out a big, fat check to General Motors and put a 31-year old crony with no business experience in charge of it, you’re probably wondering what they’re doing with the money.
The answer, according to Wired, is stealing the best ideas from tax paying entrepreneurs.
GM invested $25 million in the 33,000-square-foot Global Battery Systems Lab to develop and test the drivetrains underpinning the Chevrolet Volt and other hybrid, battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
The automaker believes the facility, at its sprawling Warren Technical Center campus outside Detroit, Michigan, will help make it a market leader in battery and EV technology.
So far, so good. But here’s where it gets a little iffy:
The lab also features a thermal shaker table for testing the structural integrity of each pack and a battery tear-down workshop for failure analysis and reverse-engineering competitors’ batteries.
Please allow us to translate: We gave GM billions of dollars so they could rip off good ideas from the entrepreneurs and companies who helped contributed to their bail out.
Perfect. Just friggin’ perfect.

How long until you start following the latest Obama fashion trend?
When President Obama made his speech in Cairo last week, people noticed something new, something now, something oh-so-Obama.
We’re referring to the wispy, but stylish ‘stache gracing his upper lip. Admittedly, it wasn’t the manliest mustache and it would have been more at home on a 15-year old boy.
Nevertheless, a new wispy mustache craze is sweeping Washington, DC. Everyone wants one because everyone wants to be just like the Greatest President In History. The literati, the glitterati, the cognoscenti. What about you?
It won’t be long before you’re no one without one.
As you can see, the trend is spreading faster than Swine Flu and it’s a lot less deadly.
Joe Biden
Next time Joe Biden puts his foot in his mouth, it will just call attention to the brand new Obama on his upper lip.
John Edwards
John Edwards needed a new image. Who could resist voting for a guy sporting a suave ‘stache like this?

Hollywood trade mag thinks Jon Voight is “outrageous” for calling Obama a “false prophet”
Variety, the long-time Hollywood trade publication, obviously believes Barack Obama is God because they’ve accused actor Jon Voight of being “outrageous” for calling him a “false prophet.” Even worse, they compared him to Janeane Garofalo. We don’t know which is worse.
It’s not really surprising that the same Malibu-meets-Babylon crew that embraces Scientology would also embrace another phony religion like Obamology.
Variety, the long-time Hollywood trade publication, obviously believes Barack Obama is God because they’ve accused actor Jon Voight of being “outrageous” for calling him a “false prophet.” Even worse, they compared him to Janeane Garofalo. We don’t know which is worse.
Variety’s WilshireAndWashington.com said, “Jon Voight earned praise from Republican leaders when he gave a speech at a Republican fundraiser this week calling the president a “false prophet,” a comment that matches in outrageousness anything the likes of Janeane Garofalo has said from the left.”
Voight’s got a lot of nerve calling The One a false prophet when everyone in Hollywood knows he is the true prophet, a god walking among mere mortals, a savior come to earth. Voight is sure to be condemned to burn forever in eternal damnation (which in Hollywood means no more leading roles, nothing but bit parts).
But to say “false prophet” is as outrageous as anything Janeane Garofalo has said? Apparently, the boys at Variety haven’t been paying real attention to Janeane for the last few years. For Variety’s edification, we proudly present this video clip of the lovely and talented Ms. Garofalo guesting with the equally lovely and talented Keith Olbermann.
Watching it may convince you that Obama is a true prophet, because you’re sure to say, “Oh, my god.”

Crisis, schmisis: President Obama takes time out to appear on another TV show
Barack Obama is on TV more than Jay Leno. And he’s funnier than…well…he’s really not all that funny.
Here’s how Wilshire & Washington describes it:
“The highlight of Stephen Colbert’s first night of shows from Iraq was the surprise taped appearance of President Obama, who ordered Commanding General Ray Odierno to cut the faux news host’s hair.”
“Last week, Obama appeared in a taped segment on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” in which the president deadpanned that the newly installed host would not qualify for a bailout if he failed.”
How can all these TV appearances be explained?
Could it be mere coincidence that the brother of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is Ari Emanuel, the most powerful agent in Hollywood? He was the inspiration for the profane Ari Gold character on HBO’s Entourage. This guy’s Rolodex is immense and he has the power to place any client on any TV show or film merely by making a phone call.
Coming up next season: On NBC, President Obama plays Urkel’s long lost brother on a remake of Family Matters. On ABC, President Obama takes on the role made famous by Mr. T on a remake of the A-Team. It will be called “The USA-Team.” On CBS, President Obama will take over the foundering Evening News from no-longer perky Katie Couric. And on Fox, President Obama will become the fifth judge on American Idol. The format will change so that his vote is the only one that counts.

When liberals attack liberals: Roseanne Barr vs Stephanie Miller
Well-known lunatic Roseanne Barr appeared on the almost listenerless Stephanie Miller Show on Monday and hilarity ensued.
The last thing Miller expected was to have Barr stray off the Obama Ranch. But stray she did. Miller was completely caught off guard by Barr’s comments.
Now don’t get us wrong – Barr didn’t go conservative. She complained that Obama hasn’t fulfilled his campaign promises, that he’s “the same as Bush,” and that the media is letting him skate.
But the highlight was when Barr told Miller, “C’mon, everybody’s on the Kool-Ade.”
Miller is almost speechless, which would be an improvement.

Another convert to the Church of the Holy Obama
It would seem there’s good reason that President Obama is referred to as “The One”. In another example of media pundits bravely and objectively speaking truth to power, MSNBC’s hard-hitting analysis of Obama’s Cairo speech began with Hardball’s Chris Matthews:
“I think the President’s speech yesterday was the reason we Americans elected him. It was grand. It was positive. Hopeful…But what I liked about the President’s speech in Cairo was that it showed a complete humility…”
Matthews then turned to Newsweek editor Evan Thomas and blurted out one of his grammatically-tortured questions, “Reagan and World War II and the sense of us as the good guys in the world, how are we doing?”
“…Reagan was all about America and you talked about it,” Newsweek Editor Even Thomas said. “Obama is ‘We are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial.’ I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above the world, he’s sort of God.”
Chris Matthews was quick to agree that he, too, was a true believer.
Hey, wait a minute. Whatever happened to the “separation of church and state” that liberals are always carrying on about? Oh. Guess it all depends on the church.
