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.

Will residents begin flipping lids when cities begin flipping houses?

King Barack. He wants to defend the downtrodden so much that he's doing everything he can to make more of them.

Riverside, California has announced a new plan to buy foreclosed homes, fix them up, and resell them to “the needy.”

Naturally, the city’s using your tax dollars – $6.5 million made available by the Obama administration plus its own redevelopment money – to purchase houses, rehab them and sell them to first-time buyers.

“Where a lot of communities are trying to figure out how to spend the money, or offering purchase funds or down-payment assistance, we’re actually very hands-on with our program,” said a representative of the working-class community located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

“We’re making the purchase, we’re overseeing the rehab, we’re overseeing the sale of the properties. We’re at the forefront of most cities or counties.”

Riverside says it’s just trying to “make a difference.” Problem is, what they’re doing doesn’t sound much different than the same old Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac-Chris Dodd-Barney Frank merry-go-round off of which we thought we just hopped.

Capitalism is dead. Long live King Obama.

“¿Cinco de Cuatro”? Ay carumba.

George W. Bush was pilloried throughout his term by media detractors for his occasional malapropisms and verbal stumbles. One writer even published a collection of W’s gaffes in a book of “Bushisms”.

Will there be a book of Obamisms?

We’re not holding our breath, although there’s probably enough material already after the two-year-long campaign and only 100 days in office.

As the Associated Press reported:

Obama jumbled his words as he welcomed guests to the White House to observe the Mexican holiday, sending the crowd into laughter before he referred to the day correctly.

“Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro—Cinco de Mayo at the White House,” said Obama, in what appeared to be an attempt to note they were celebrating on the fourth of May instead of the fifth.

Cinco de cuatro means “five of four” in Spanish.

During the presidential campaign, Obama acknowledged his Spanish skills weren’t great.

And this is the same guy who last year was “embarrassed” that Americans traveling to Europe could only say, “merci beaucoup.”

Bush wasn’t our most eloquent president, but he at least had passable Spanish skills.

Mr. Manners:
What Obama teaches us about excellent etiquette

Sometimes it’s hard to tell the Huffington Post from The Onion. They recently ran a story by Anna Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post. It’s a perfect example of blind Obama worship.

In Anna’s eyes, there is nothing Barack Obama can do wrong. He is the perfect president, man, father, husband, and probably lover. (But based on the photo attached to the story, Anna’s kind of hot, so we’ll cut her a wee bit of slack.)

A credit to the women who raised him, the President uses his napkin to gently wipe his mouth. Children of America, take note!

“Most public figures learn to dread what photographs might reveal about them, but President and Mrs. Obama make the grade as ambassadors for our country. Their exemplary manners are caught on camera repeatedly enough to clearly be habit and not just for show. After all, manners aren’t just for special occasions–though the Obamas attend plenty of those. The best manners come through seamlessly in the little things that make up everyday life….”

Anna shows many examples. And as far as we can tell, she thinks every photo ever taken of President Obama is proof of his perfection. For example, the photo and caption above.

But we think Anna hasn’t gone far enough. There are so many more examples of Barack Obama’s perfect manners that she could have shown in her short slide show. So please allow us to complete the job Anna Post began.

Ahmadinejad adopts Obama’s “Yes We Can” campaign slogan

Pixie-ish Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leads supporters in a "Yes We Can" chant
Pixie-ish Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leads supporters in a "Yes We Can" chant

You can’t make this stuff up. Drudge reports that Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has decided to use Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can” slogan in his next presidential campaign.

Who knew Ahmadinejad was such a big fan of American political campaigns?

IHateTheMedia.com has discovered that Ahmadinejad’s campaign staff also looked into adapting slogans from several other American presidential campaigns before going with “Yes We Can.”

They considered using George Bush’s “Compassionate Conservatism” but thought the compassionate part might be a tough sell.

They thought about adapting Bill Clinton’s slogan but finally decided that “Building a bridge to the 13th century” wasn’t quite as catchy as “Building a bridge to the 21st century.”

Ronald Reagan said, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Ahmadinejad discovered that “Are you better off now than you were four hundred years ago?” didn’t test well in focus groups.

In 1960 Barry Goldwater’s slogan was “In Your Heart You Know He’s Right.” Ahmadinejad decided that “In Your Heart You Know He’s Nuts” was just too damn honest.

In the end, Ahmadinejad decided he wanted to be just like Obama so they went with the popular “Yes We Can.”

In other news, the Iranian leader announced that if Iran ever developed an auto industry, he would immediately nationalize it.

How to comprehend the $100 million Obama promises to cut from his $3 trillion budget.

Former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen supposedly said, “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.” That was obviously decades ago because billions are almost meaningless in today’s Washington, DC.

When President Obama sternly announced that he had ordered his cabinet to trim their budgets by $100,000,000, it sounded impressive. Lots of zeroes.

But in reality, $100,000,000 is truly a drop in the bucket. Here’s a great video demonstrating how truly insignificant Obama’s promise is.

Obama’s grandmother to make pilgrimage to Mecca, ultimate Muslim religious experience

Soon Obama will be wearing a T-shirt that says, "My grandma went to Mecca and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
Soon Obama will be wearing a T-shirt that says, "My grandma went to Mecca and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

Looks like 2009 is going to be a big, big year for Sarah Obama, the President’s grandmother.

First she attended her definitely, positively, absolutely non-Muslim grandson’s Presidential inauguration in January. Now it’s been announced that she will attend the hajj. According to FreeDictionary.com, “at least once in a lifetime a Muslim is expected to make a religious journey to Mecca and the Kaaba; for a Muslim the hajj is the ultimate act of worship…”

The Daily Times of Pakistan reports:

US President Barack Obama’s paternal grandmother, Sara Obama, will perform haj this year along with her son Syed Obama, a private TV channel reported on Saturday. According to the channel, Sara and Syed will also visit Dubai before going to Saudi Arabia for performing haj. Sara (85) is an active participant in welfare and charity programmes. The channel said performing haj is one of the most desired wishes of the US president’s grandmother. daily times monitor.

Grandma’s trip is being paid for by Kenyan property tycoon Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, who will also accompany her on the Hajj.

A few weeks ago, we reported that Kenya’s Christians and Muslims were battling for the soul of Sarah Obama.

Looks like the Muslims won.

New York Post finds 100 Obama faux pas in 100 days, but CNN has trouble finding ten

On President Obama’s 100th day, CNN did one of its pathetically weak periodic attempts to show its lack of bias by presenting a list the President’s Top 10 faux pas.

Despite the fact that the New York Post was able to put together a list of 100 presidential screw-ups, here’s the best CNN could come up with.

10. Screwing up the oath of office (although CNN laughingly blamed it on Chief Justice Roberts)
9. Whacking his head getting into Marine One
8. Bowing to the Saudi king.
7. The First Lady touches the queen
6. Making the Special Olympics gaffe on the Tonight Show
5. Stepping on wife’s dress during an inauguration dance
4. Teleprompter woes
3. His daughters talk too much
2. Saying Nancy Reagan had a séance
1. Michelle called the new First Dog as Barney instead of Bo (although this was really Michelle’s faux pas)

The way we count it, the score was Barack 6, Michelle 2, Chief Justice Roberts 1, Malia and Sasha 1. In the end, CNN could only find six Obama faux pas. Somehow, they overlooked the foreign policy gaffes, the diplomatic woes, his domestic policy problems, his god awful history of nominee troubles, the exploding deficit, and on and on.

But they did notice that he stepped on his wife’s dress. This is truly investigative journalism at its finest.

Times of London turns Star Trek review in political statement: “Star Trek boldly goes into the Obama era”

Don’t you hate critics who review “films” instead of “movies.” You know, those self-important nimrods who think they’re too smart by half and wear out their thesauruses (thesauri?) in an attempt to convince you of the same thing.

The Times of London just ran one of those reviews on the new Star Trek movie that premieres May 8.

(One disclaimer: we are not ashamed to say that we are long-time Trekkies. We don’t even attempt to hide behind the supposedly more dignified name “Trekker.”)

Let’s just go with one paragraph of this freshman poly sci term paper disguised as a movie review:

There was always a very close relationship between the American Dream — not to mention American imperialism — and Star Trek, with its liberal, secular, multiracial, technophiliac vision of the future. But the two seem almost to have mind-melded with the election of an optimistic, liberal, multiracial President with a Kenyan father and a white American mother (Star Trek featured the first interracial kiss on US television, sparking protests at the time) — and, who is himself something of a 1960s tribute act, with his JFK and Martin Luther King cadences. Suddenly, with Barack Obama at the helm, America looks like a brand that people can believe in again. Or at least root for at the movies.

For God’s sake, it’s just a friggin’ movie, Limey Boy. It’s cowboys and Indians in outer space. Good guys versus bad guys. White hats versus black hats.

Read the whole thing. Just to remind yourself why newspapers are neither living long nor prospering.

We have to go now. Advance tickets just went on sale downtown for the May 8 opening.

1,361 days to go. In the immortal words of Edgar Allen Poe, "Nevermore."

We read the Huffington Post every day just looking for classic stuff like this: a website called, “Starting Today: Poems for the First 100 Days.”

The website says, “The day before the inauguration we sent out a call to poets we admire to write poems that respond, however loosely, to the presidency, the nation, the government or the current political climate. More than one hundred American poets responded immediately. The first 100 poets were each assigned one of President Obama’s first hundred days in office, and each will write a poem reflecting on the state of the nation and the world on that day. A new poem is posted every day.” Continue reading ““Limericks for the Next 1,361 Days” Contest”

London Daily Telegraph asks, “Why does President Pantywaist hate America so badly?”

President Pantywaist? As we’ve chronicled here over the last few months, the British newspapers have not converted to the Church of the Almighty Obama.

The view from London seems to be considerably different than the view from Washington, DC
The view from London seems to be considerably different than the view from Washington, DC
President Pantywaist? As we’ve chronicled here over the last few months, the British newspapers have not converted to the Church of the Almighty Obama.

Here are the opening paragraphs from the Daily Telegraph’s latest scathing commentary:

If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people – not even Jimmy Carter.

Obama’s problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution. Obama is not at war with terrorists, but with his Republican fellow citizens. He has never abandoned the campaign trail.

How can they see so clearly when they’re so far away?

If this isn’t socialism, could someone please tell us what it is?

amsoc_flag

Here’s how General Motors described its transformation into Government Motors in a press release on Monday:

“As a result of its ownership of GM common stock, the U.S. Treasury will be able to elect all of our directors and to control the vote on substantially all matters brought for a stockholder vote. In addition, through its stockholder voting rights and election of directors, and its role as a significant lender to us, the U.S. Treasury will be able to exercise significant influence and control over our business if it elects to do so.”

Just to make sure everyone’s in agreement on the terminology, here’s how Merriam-Webster.com defines socialism:

“Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.”

We can’t help but remember all those commentators who were shocked when Tea Party participants called Obama a socialist.

Right wing lunatics at Fox dump Obama. Just like they dumped Bush in 2001.

The President is sad to find out that Fox will air "Lie To Me" instead of his press conference. Very sad.

By now you’ve probably heard that those fascists at Fox refuse to carry The One’s Wednesday night primetime press conference and Celebration of Self.

Of course, the left would like you to believe this sort of thing would never happen if a white Republican were president.

Unfortunately for those obscurers of truth, it actually did happen the last time a white Republican was president. President George W. Bush, to be exact.

In 2001, Fox chose not to air a primetime speech by President Bush. Then, three years later, it joined all the networks in decllning to air his May 2004 speech on Iraq.

Quick. Call Al Gore. It’s another one of those inconvenient truths he likes to talk about. No, wait. This may not be one of the ones he likes to talk about.

100 days of puffery, ballyhoo, hoopla and hype

Iowa flooding looked as bad as many sections of New Orleans. So where was the media? Where was Sean Penn?
Iowa flooding looked as bad as many sections of New Orleans. So where was the media? Where was Sean Penn?
Kudos to Politico’s Richard Benedetto for writing about the way the mainstream media has been covering the Obama presidency in his column “Watchdogs are heeling for Obama”. We would’ve gone a little further and titled the piece “Media lapdogs are lying down for Obama.”

Benedetto’s journalism students gave the media a C+/B- for their covering during the first 100 days. After chronicling a few instances of media double standards in the way similar-to-identical statements made by GWB and BHO were portrayed, the columnist felt a C+ was about right.

His list seemed a bit short. How about the way similar events were covered? One of the major stories that’s been virtually ignored was the Iowa/North Dakota flooding. Remember the overwrought and outright false Katrina coverage? (“10,000 dead”?!)

As a widely circulated conservative-leaning email asked, Where was the hysterical 24/7 media coverage, with reports of lootings, shootings at rescuers, of rapes and murder? Where were the stories of people screaming that Barack Obama hates white, rural people? Where were the government bailout vouchers and government debit cards? Are the values of Iowa and Louisiana residents that different or is the media just that skewed?

What grade would you give the media for their coverage of Obama’s first 100 days? We’d give ’em a D for duplicitous double-standards.

Obamagasm: TV news covers Obama more than Bush & Clinton combined.

Reverends Couric, Williams and Gibson conduct services nightly.
Reverends Couric, Williams and Gibson conduct services nightly.
This will come as no surprise to anyone this side of a catatonic trance, but TV network news has given us all Obama all the time.

The nonpartisan research group Center for Media and Public Affairs along with California’s Chapman University released a study that found the nightly newscasts devoted 27 hours, 44 minutes to Pres. Obama’s presidency in his first 50 days. That compares to 7 hours, 42 minutes for Pres. George W. Bush and 15 hours, 2 minutes for Pres. Bill Clinton during the first 50 days of their first terms.

Not only has Obama gotten more coverage, but that coverage has been more positive than his predecessors.

On the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts, 58% of all evaluations of the president and his policies have been favorable, while 42% were unfavorable. That compares with 33% positive in the comparable period of Bush’s tenure and 44% positive for Pres. Clinton.

The study continues:

CBS led the coverage with 365 stories and 10 hours 46 minutes of airtime, followed by NBC with 327 stories and 9 hours 38 minutes, and ABC with 329 stories and 7 hours 20 minutes.

The first half hour of Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier,” which the study says most closely resembles the network evening newscasts, devoted 10 hours 24 minutes to the Obama administration, nearly as much airtime as CBS gave him.

But Fox News stands apart from its competitors here – only 13% of comments* were considered favorable. On ABC, 57% of the comments were favorable, compared to 58% for CBS and 61% for NBC.

What these numbers don’t tell us is what percentage of the comments were neutral and what percentage were negative. We’re willing to bet the ratio of positive to negative is stunning.

“Ratchet-jawed purveyors of monkey-doodle
and baked wind”

orourke This comes from a speech P.J. O’Rourke recently delivered in Sydney. Damn, this guy knows how to string words together.

America has wound up with a charming leftist as a president. And this scares me. This scares me not because I hate leftists. I don’t. I have many charming leftist friends. They’re lovely people – as long as they keep their nose out of things they don’t understand. Such as making a living.

When charming leftists stick their nose into things they don’t understand they become ratchet-jawed purveyors of monkey-doodle and baked wind. They are piddlers upon merit, beggars at the door of accomplishment, thieves of livelihood, envy coddling tax lice applauding themselves for giving away other people’s money. They are the lap dogs of the poly sci-class, returning to the vomit of collectivism. They are pig herders tending that sow-who-eats-her-young, the welfare state. They are muck-dwelling bottom-feeders growing fat on the worries and disappointments of the electorate. They are the ditch carp of democracy.

How we could have saved Obama $328,825 without scaring the bejeebers out of New York City

They took Air Force One on location on Monday for a photo shoot over the skies of New York City. Unfortunately, they did it without notifying anyone in Mayor Bloomberg’s administration.

It was instant panic when the good citizens of New York City saw another 747 screaming in low over the skyline. They screamed. They ran. They feared for their lives. And rightfully so.

Perhaps all this could have been avoided with a little

Step Two: Get a photo of the Statue of Liberty.
Photoshop. A little resizing here, a couple color adjustments there, and then top it all off with a little clone stamp tool. Voila! Air Force One over the Statue of Liberty.

No flights over New York City were necessary. No Air Force One. No fighter jets. No pilots. No crew. No fuel. It would have save you about $$328,825 and a ton of bad publicity.

IHateTheMedia.com proudly offers the President this stunning PhotoShop version of Air Force One over the Statue of Liberty.

Just one thing, President Obama. Could you send us $10 for the PhotoShop work? That’s what the kid next door charged us.

President Obama plans primetime party disguised as press conference

American Idol judges watch intently as Barack Obama once again wows the audience at his latest primetime press conference/performance.
American Idol judges watch intently as Barack Obama once again wows the audience at his latest primetime press conference/performance.
American business be damned. When President Obama wants to celebrate his own greatness with a primetime press conference, the networks better just get in line.

Wednesday is the President’s 100th day in office and he’s “requested” another hour of the TV networks’ evening schedules.

“It’s an arbitrary day in which presidents are measured. We get that. We’re playing along,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.

However, this request is more painful than previous ones because it comes during “sweeps week,” the time of year when ratings are measured and advertising rates established for the coming quarter. The networks roll their top programs during sweeps week. So they are loathe to give up their most valuable time for what Gibbs admits is an arbitrary date.

But in keeping with his other actions during the previous 99 days, the president has shown that his TV face time is more important than the networks’ advertising time.

Wednesday’s press conference will be the president’s third conducted in primetime. At the current pace, he is on track to hold one a month.

This guy obviously wants his own weekly TV show. So let’s just make him the only contestant on American Idol each week.

Randy can say, “Barack is in the house, dog.” Kara can say, “Is Paula sober tonight?” Paula can say, “You know, you really made America your own.” And Simon will be deported for being honest.

Why has President Obama spent more than $1,000,000 to prevent the release of his birth and college records?

Detail from the latest Federal Election Commission report showing Obama's expenditures to attorneys working to keep his birth and college records hidden.

To be honest, we’re not among those who think the President was born in Kenya. And if he had been, we’re not even sure that would disqualify him as President.

That being said, we find it extremely odd that he would fight so hard to keep his birth records and college transcripts hidden from the public.

According to the Federal Election Commission, Obama paid the Perkins Coie law firm $683,316.42 in the first quarter of 2009 to keep those records from being released. That’s on top of the $378,375.52 he paid them in the last quarter of 2008.

We’re not in on the conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder.

The One’s one hundred mistakes in the first one hundred days

We "hope" things "change" in the next 100 days.
We "hope" things "change" in the next 100 days.

While the left is celebrating the greatest president in history, the hippest president in history, the greatest orator in history, the…ok…you get the idea. While they’re doing all of that, some people are living in the real world and seeing what an unmitigated disaster this unskilled rookie has become.

An article in Sunday’s New York Post lists the top 100 screw-ups in The One’s first one hundred days.

1. “Obama criticized pork barrel spending in the form of ‘earmarks,’ urging changes in the way that Congress adopts the spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill that contains nearly 9,000 of them, some that members of his own staff shoved in last year when they were still members of Congress. ‘Let there be no doubt, this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business, and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability,’ Obama said.” — McClatchy, 3/11

2. “There is no doubt that we’ve been living beyond our means and we’re going to have to make some adjustments.” — Obama during the campaign.

3. This year’s budget deficit: $1.5 trillion.

4. Asks his Cabinet to cut costs in their departments by $100 million — a whopping .0027%!

5. “The White House says the president is unaware of the tea parties.” — ABC News, 4/15

6. “Mr. Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the ‘teleprompt president’ over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech.” — Sky News, 3/18

7. In early February, the 2010 census was moved out of the Department of Commerce and into the White House, politicizing how federal aid is distributed and electoral districts are drawn.

8. Obama taps Nancy Killefer for a new administration job, First Chief Performance Officer — to police government spending. But it surfaces that Killefer had performance issues of her own — a tax lien was slapped on her DC home in 2005 for failure to pay unemployment compensation tax on household help. She withdrew.

9. Turkey tried to block the appointment of Anders Fogh Rasmussen as new NATO secretary general because he didn’t properly punish the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Mohammed. France’s Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany’s Angela Merkel were outraged; Obama said he supported Turkey’s induction into the European Union.

10. . . . and he never mentioned the Armenian genocide.

Time magazine’s report on Obama’s First 100 Days begins with a swoon: “Obama’s start has been the most impressive of any President since F.D.R.” At that point we fell asleep faster than Obama’s economic advisor Lawrence Summers.

Does anybody really read Time anymore? Of course not. That was a rhetorical question. Their “news” is always a week old. People must look at it for the exciting pictures, like the behind-the-scenes photo essay consisting of 77 dynamic shots of The One contemplating paintings, moving a chair, and a dandy close-up of his healthy snack consisting of cheese, crackers and a pear. (Yawn.)

Lawrence Summers demonstrates that the stimulus plan is somewhat less than stimulating.
