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.
The Scene: A joint press conference with French President Sarkozy.
The Reporter’s Question: “Iran and North Korea. What has the current policy – which is largely the same as ones of recent years – produced other than given time to North Korea and Iran to advance their nuclear ambitions?”
The President’s Answer: Almost three minutes of stuttering and stammering and reviewing the past in the most vague of terms in hopes that everyone would simply forget what the question was.
The Result: We’re not sure. We forgot the question.
Ahhh, those happy days back before it became wrong to be Wright
Reverend Jeremiah Wright is talking again. And his comments are not going to help President Obama’s relationship with Israel. Not at all.
Wright said he hasn’t spoken to Obama since the President threw him under the bus last year. “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. They will not let him…talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.”
“Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza,” Wright added. “Ethnic cleansing of the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don’t want Barack talking like that because that’s anti-Israel.”
Finally, Wright indirectly confirmed the truth of the accusation that Obama must have heard, but not been bothered by his inflammatory sermons while attending the Trinity United Church of Chicago for twenty years, by admitting that his message hasn’t changed:
“…the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I’ve been preaching for 20 years?”
Pity poor Israel is surrounded by enemies – Lebanon to the north, Syria and Jordan to the east, Gaza and Barack Obama to the west.
Introducing the sleek, new one horsepower 2010 Obamamobile from General Motors
House Republican Leader John Boehner is not a fan of President Obama plans for General Motors. In fact, he calls them “lunacy.”
“When the government got involved with helping Chrysler in the late 1970’s,” Boehner noted, “there were hearings, there were oversight hearings afterward and we ought to have the same thing happen here.”
Boehner seems justifiably upset that Obama’s hand will exert too much unfettered control over the new GM.
“…one only has to look at what happened several weeks ago when the government basically coerced the auto companies to stand there and agree to a CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) standard that cannot be met unless the auto companies force Americans to buy cars that they don’t want to buy.”
“This is lunacy! And all of this is going to get stuck on the backs of middle-class taxpayers,” Boehner continued. “Not only are they going to have to pay for the [auto] bailout, but they’re going to pay much higher prices for these cars they don’t want to buy because of the mandates that are coming from the government.”
As we recall, central planning didn’t work out too well in the old Soviet Union. But Barack Obama gives a much better speech than Joe Stalin and that makes all the difference in the world.
Chinese Muslim terrorists will spend the rest of their days lounging on the beaches of Palau
The President announced a few weeks ago that he was asking our allies to accept Gitmo detainees. France turned him down. Germany turned him down. Great Britain turned him down. Australia turned him down. So the president got out a copy of “The Idiot’s Guide to the U.N.” and started going down the membership list.
Great news. One of our “major allies” just agreed to accept 17 Chinese Uighur Muslim detainees. Palau. Yes, Palau.
Questions abound. Let’s review one at a time:
Question #1: Where the hell is Palau? Answer #1: 500 miles east of the Philippines, 2000 miles south of Toyko, a million miles from Washington, DC.
Question #2: Why haven’t I heard of it? Answer #2: It’s one of the world’s smallest nations. It’s been off the radar since World War II. It only has 20,000 residents. It’s not surprising that you haven’t heard of it, because they can’t decide if their name is Palau or Belau or Pelew.
Question #3: What’s China’s reaction to this move? Answer #3: No word from China yet, but Palau is one of the few countries that doesn’t recognize China and still maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
Question #4: Why are they accepting the detainees? Answer #4: President Johnson Toribiong says its “a humanitarian gesture” and “but a small thing we can do to thank our best friend and ally for all it has done for Palau.”
Question #5: No, really. Why is Palau taking the detainees? Answer #5: Keep an eye on President Obama’s foreign aid budget. We’d be surprised if every Palauian (or Belauian or Pelewian) doesn’t end up a multi-millionaire before this is over.
We hope Obama's czars start wearing fancy uniforms with epaulets and gold braid like their Russian imperial predecessors
If there’s a crisis, an issue, even a question in Washington, President Obama will appoint a Czar to manage it. He’s named more than 20 of them so far.
Democrat Senator Robert Byrd believes these Czars give the president too much power. He said the Czar system “can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances” and he points out that the power to oversee federal agencies is supposed to be reserved for officials approved by the Senate.
“…these White House staffers are not accountable for their actions to the Congress, to cabinet officials, or to virtually anyone but the president,” Byrd noted. “They rarely testify before congressional committees, and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege. In too many instances, White House staff have been allowed to inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability.”
Let us sum this up in three words: Obama Power Grab.
Here’s a list of Obama’s many power-grabbing czars: Af-Pak (Afghanistan-Pakistan) Czar, Border Czar, Car Czar, Climate Czar, Cyber Security Czar, Drug Czar, Economic Czar, Energy Czar, Faith-based Czar, Great Lakes Cleanup Czar, Guantanamo Closure Czar, Health Reform Czar, Infotech Czar, Iran Czar, Middle East Czar, Pay Czar, Persian Gulf & Southwest Asia Czar, Regulatory Czar, Stimulus Accountability Czar, Sudan Czar, TARP Czar, Terrorism Czar, Urban Czar, and last in alphabetical order, but not least, Weapons of Mass Destruction Czar
It appears, however, that President Obama has neglected to appoint Czars in some very important areas. We urge that he act immediately to name outstanding liberal Americans to fill these voids:
Biden Czar – someone to keep the Veep from saying stupid things that embarrass the administration and all Americans Teleprompter Czar – someone to make sure that the President’s favorite electronic device is always working Pantsuit Czar – someone to make sure Hillary never wears anything but pantsuits Limbaugh Czar – someone to oversee regulation of conservative talk radio Middle Name Czar – someone to make sure the name “Hussein” is never used unless the President is speaking in a Muslim country Date Night Czar – someone to schedule taxpayer-funded romantic getaways for the President and First Lady DoubleSpeak Czar – someone to keep track of all the Obama administration’s new terminology (like changing “Terrorism” to “Man-Caused Disaster”) Power Grab Czar – someone to be Czar over all the other Czars
Any we left out? Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comment section.
If there’s one thing Obama should keep in mind, it’s that things didn’t work out to well for the Russian Czars in the long run.
Nicole Avant, our new ambassador to the Bahamas. At least she'll be out of the country and won't have to watch the fall of capitalism.
Some of President Obama’s biggest Hollywood financial supporters are packing their bags and heading off to become ambassadors. This despite the fact that their only previous diplomatic experience may have been spending a night in Hollywood’s Ambassador Hotel.
But that matters not if there were enough zeroes on the check you contributed to the President’s campaign coffers.
Music industry heiress Nicole Avant will represent us in the Bahamas. Wild Brain CEO Charles Rivkin gets France.
Avant is the daughter of longtime Bill and Hillary Clinton friend Clarence Avant and the sister of Democratic activist Alex Avant. She was the first in her family to break away and endorse Obama. Her experience for the ambassadorship includes being the daughter of the former chairman of Motown Records, bundling $500,000 for Obama’s campaign, and playing Protestor #2 in a 2004 film called “First Daughter.”
Why stop there, President Obama? There are lots of other Hollywood types itching to be ambassadors.
Rob Reiner. Barbara Streisand. Alec Baldwin. They all said they’d leave the country if Bush got elected, but didn’t. If a little ambassadorship is all it takes to get them out, we say it’s a small price to pay.
Now don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying Jon Stewart made fun of Obama. No, that’s still taboo. But at least he took a step in the right direction by making fun of people who worship The One. NBC’s Brian Williams, to be specific.
It does seem to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black, though.
We love the DrudgeReport. It provides a window on the world that’s just not available anywhere else. If President Obama happened to look at Drudge on Sunday, his view through that window was very hazy. We doubt that he enjoyed it very much. Because it looks like a lot of people are catching on to the scam that is Obam.
David Patterson is blind, but he's not deaf. He would have sworn he heard Joe Biden's endorsement.
Joe Biden gushed about New York Governor David Patterson at a Democrat fundraiser on Tuesday.
“Your once and future governor of the state of New York has been extremely generous to Barack and me and has been a major part of us trying to put this economy back together.”
Everyone – and we mean everyone – interpreted the Veep’s words as a strong endorsement for the highly unpopular governor. However, Democrat New York state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is handily ahead of Patterson in all the polls.
When Biden realized he’d backed a loser, he un-gushed. Why, much to everyone’s surprise, Biden said his words were not an endorsement.
“It was a statement of friendship and admiration for the governor,” his spokesman insisted, “and was not intended as a political statement.”
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wanted nothing to do with the controversy.
“I have not seen the remarks,” he ducked. “But let me go see if I can find that and see what the context is.”
The context is simple: Joe Biden makes Dan Quayle look like Albert Einstein.
Since President Obama is only reading it at an average of 6 pages per day, we can't call Netherland one of those novels that you can't put down.
When asked what he was currently reading by a BBC interviewer on Tuesday, President Obama named Joseph O’Neill’s “Netherland.”
Really? Obama also said he began reading the 270-page novel back in April. That’s only about six pages per day.
George Bush, on the other hand, was well-known as a voracious reader and polished off more than 100 books per year. At Obama’s current pace, he’ll only complete about 10 books this year.
In President Obama’s defense, it takes far longer to read a book when it’s on a Teleprompter.
Is it possible that President Obama failed math? That would answer a lot of questions.
We heard a joke today. It’s a sick joke, but it goes to prove a point. It goes like this:
Rahm Emanuel heard about the Brazilian plane crash, ran into the Oval Office and said, “Mr. President, we just lost 200 Brazilians.”
Obama looks concerned and says, “How many trillion in a brazillion?”
Point is, this guy proves over and over that he has no grasp of basic math.
Obviously, the projected deficits prove that trillions are meaningless to him. But now it appears that he has no grasp of millions, either.
As it was reported in the New York Times, “In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as ‘one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.’”
“’And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,’ Mr. Obama said.”
That’s nonsense. According to NationMaster.com, the United States ranks just 34th in the world with approximately 6,000,000 Muslims. That puts us right behind tiny nations like Tajikistan, Burkina Faso, Kazakhstan, Azerbiajan, and the President’s own Kenya. Many authorities think that 6,000,000 number is vastly inflated.
Obviously, Obama has trouble with complex numbers. He’s baffled by millions, billions and trillions. In fact, the only number he’s really concerned with is The One.
Smarmy, condescending Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs may want to reconsider his recent attacks on the British Press. Because these guys kick butt and take names. Especially if the name is Gibbs.
Just take a look at this scathing column by James Delinpole of the Telegraph UK:
Memo to Obama attack dog Robert Gibbs: stop pooping on our lawn
Memo to US Press secetary Robert Gibbs
1. Congratulations. Your presidential regime has managed to secure the most supine, slobbering, spineless, unquestioning media coverage since Enver Hoxha’s Albania. A report last month by the Center for Media and Public Affairs said Obama has received more coverage than his two predecessors combined. On ABC, CBS and NBC news the majority of evaluations – 58 per cent – have been favourable. (Compare GW Bush – 33 per cent; Bill Clinton 44 per cent – in first 50 days of office). More importantly, you have Pravda. Yes, no less than 73 per cent of all evaluative comments in your chief propaganda organ – aka The New York Times – have been favourable to Obama.
2. Sure your congenitally libtard Mainstream Media were probably biased that way anyway, but you have played your part. Your combative style – which led you to dismiss the entire British print media just now in one glib, sneering phrase – has earned you the nickname “The Enforcer.” You have a reputation for coming down hard on any media outlet which doesn’t follow your approved version of reality. “I work the referee a little bit,” as you once put it. (A reference, perhaps, to when you played goalkeeper for your college football team).
3. If you are going to make clever-sounding football references displaying your rich understanding of the British press, try to get your terminology right. We call it the “Champions League.” Not the “Champions League cup.”
4. That’s only the beginning of your problems, matey. Your treatment not just of the British media but of Britain generally smacks of a risible ineptitude. First, you let President Obama send back the Winston Churchill bust. Then, you insult our visiting prime minister with a dismally low-key reception (worthy of a minor African head of state, not your closest and most loyal ally) and shoddy gifts (those DVDs). Then you compound the insult by having one of your monkeys declare, Chicago-politics-style, “”There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.” OK so we know Obama’s not much interested in foreign affairs and has a special loathing for Britain because it roughed up his Kenyan granddad during the Mau Mau insurrection. But don’t you realise, that one of your jobs as his press secretary is to make out like he loves us so much even his underpants have a union flag on them?
5. Insulting the British print media. Big mistake. We know we’re not angels. We know we can go over the top sometimes. But unfortunately that’s a much bigger problem for you than it is for us. You see, while a lot of your mainstream media will hold fire on stories which they think may reflect poorly on your wondrous Obamamessiah – what his half-brother has been up to, say – we have fewer qualms about telling it like it is. So far, you’ve had a pretty easy ride. The Obama Kool Aid has proved almost as popular beverage in Britain as it is in the US. But just you wait till we start showing our teeth.
6. A lot of Americans know this. They appreciate our irreverence. They enjoy our frank criticisms of all the myriad areas where Obama is getting it so badly wrong – everything from his disastrous cap and trade measures, to his brutal treatment of Chrysler dealerships which didn’t support him, to his pork barrelling, to his failure to do anything that looks remotely like rescuing the US economy. That’s why they come to read us online: because they can and there’s nothing you can do to stop them.
7. We had a guy just like you over here once. Guy named Alastair Campbell. Did for our now heavily discredited prime minister Tony Blair what you do for Obama: a little light press bullying; professional turd polishing; that kind of thing. We hated Alastair Campbell, really loathed him. But he got away with bullying us because in those days we didn’t know any better. We were still going through this sort of dumb-cattle phase where we still had some vestigial respect for politicians and trust that they knew what they were doing.
8. But we don’t respect politicians any more. Not our politicians, and not yours either. Imagine how this new strain of irreverence bordering on utter contempt is going to affect our reporting of political affairs. Actually, you’ve no need to imagine. Just read some of our Telegraph blogs.
Our congratulations to Robert Gibbs, the first press secretary capable of pissing off the press of our closest ally.
Religious zealot George Bush thinks America is a Christian nation.
That idiot, former President George Bush, showed his total disregard for the separation of church and state today when he told a French reporter that the United States was a Christian nation.
Here’s how the New York Times reported it:
“In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Bush noted that the United States also could be considered as ‘one of the largest Christian countries in the world.’”
“’And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Christian Americans, we’d be one of the largest Christian countries in the world,’ Mr. Bush said.”
Shocking, isn’t it. Except for one thing. We switched two words in the New York Times story. We substituted “Bush” for “Obama” and “Christian” for “Muslim.”
Even though the statement we attributed to Bush would have been true, just imagine the leftist howls of protest about the separation of church and state if he had actually said it.
Yet, instead of condemning Obama’s demonstrably false statement as a violation of church and state, the liberal media merely quibbles about his numbers.
In the words of King Barack, “l’État, c’est moi.” And in the words of the press, “l’État, c’est il.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuGi2bMwODs Vice President Biden was speaking at the Air Force Academy graduation recently when the wind took out his teleprompter. Jokin’ Joe then makes a crack at his boss’ expense: “What am I gonna tell the president when I tell him his Teleprompter is broken? What will he do then?” Hilarity ensues.
Perhaps even funnier is when the Fox reporter then segues from “Plugs” Biden to a story about the gene that is linked to baldness, saying it could put the Hair Club for Men out of business.
Time to start apologizing to the North Koreans, President Obama.
If you ask what the Obama administration’s policy on North Korea is, you have to then ask another question: What day of the week is it? Because the policy seems to change daily.
Ping: Back in April, when Pyongyang tested its first long-range missile, the President deemed North Korea a “regional threat.”
Pong: After the North Koreans’ latest missile test last week, he called them a global threat.
Ping: National security adviser James Jones said last week that the rogue nation poses no imminent threat to the US.
Pong: Later in the week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, “The United States will not accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state…North Korea’s nuclear program and actions constitute a threat to regional peace and security. We unequivocally reaffirm our commitment to the defense of our allies in the region.”
Ping: On Friday, Gates dialed back the rhetoric and said, “I don’t think that anybody in the [Obama] administration thinks there is a crisis.”
The Obama administration should take note that no one beats the Asians when it comes to ping pong.
Here are the results of a series of polls reported Tuesday by Rasmussen. The question is, how long will it take for the American people to notice that they don’t agree with this administration on very much?
Yeah, but it might have been nice if someone talked about this stuff before the election.
ABC News’ Jake Tapper actually confronted the unconfrontable truth of Barack Obama’s Muslim roots Tueday on his ABC blog.
His willingness to deviate from the media’s blind allegiance to Barack Obama is truly startling. If Tapper keeps this up he’s likely to become ABC’s new Siberian correspondent.
The Emergence of President Obama’s Muslim roots
The other day we heard a comment from a White House aide that never would have been uttered during the primaries or gen4ral election campaign.
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to – or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world – you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father – obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”
Tapper concluded:
In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, President Obama reference how many “Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them.”
Well, that clears it all up. He’s one of them. Because he certainly hasn’t acted like he’s one of us.
She said it then and meant it then, but he said she wouldn't say it now and wouldn't mean it now. No, seriously.
“President Barack Obama on Friday personally sought to deflect criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor…‘I’m sure she would have restated it,’ Obama flatly told NBC News, without indicating how he knew that.”
While we’re at it, Joe Biden wants to restate a bunch of stuff he said, too.
NBC News anchor Brian Williams actually bowed to President Obama on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the President was facing in the wrong direction, making it anatomically impossible for Williams to kiss his butt before leaving the White House.
“This,” the President thought to himself, “must be what ol’ King Abdul Aziz felt like when I bowed to him.”
"Oh, Barack, is that the Washington Monument in your pocket or are you just happy to see me."
The self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in history” announced on Monday that it would release no information regarding the cost of President Obama’s “date” in New York. Just won’t do it.
The administration’s policy seems to be summed up in these nine words: “Love to talk more. Just no time. Gotta go.”
The New York Post guestimated that the trip cost $24,000. The London Daily Mail put the figure at $75,000. But the Washington Times did additional research and came up with a far higher number: $400,000.
Their figure includes three helicopters that shuttled the First Couple to and from Andrews Air Force Base and all the air and ground personnel associated with that move. It includes the corporate jets that flew the Obamas and the ones that flew decoy duty. It includes a previously unmentioned C-17 cargo jet that flew all the cars for the President’s motorcade to New York and back. It included hundreds of additional Washington, DC and NYC policemen. It included the vast crew of Secret Service people who had to check the New York locations out in advance and also be there during the date.
We’re not sure what happened to the Obamas at the end of the date, but we’re pretty sure the taxpayers got screwed.
Day in and day out, ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper seems to be the only guy asking the tough questions and pointing out the Obama administration’s incredible hypocrisy.
A reporter asks this simple question: “Can you tell us how much the President and First Lady’s ‘date night’ cost on Saturday night? And if not, why not?”
What follows is more than a minute of Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stuttering, stammering, and changing the subject.
