Yeah, the impotent opposition really terrifies me, Barry, with their speechifying. It strikes the fear of God right into my heart when they get up to say a few intangible words.
Unlike your concrete actions, of course, which power the world to never-before-seen heights of sweetness and light.
Competition time for similarly epic oxymoronic statements.
Tiger Woods to married men everywhere: “Be faithful to your wife.”
In preparation for receiving Holy Communion, the devout cadet above read “Kill Bin Laden”, a book whose title alone is enough to reduce Barry to a quivering puddle of Leftist bleeding-heartism.
Before they assume office, politicians of every hue should be obliged to spend three months or so with the military. They can choose which branch and where. But they should go.
Most of Congress, and the vast majority of parliamentarians worldwide, lack any direct experience or knowledge of the military. Without which, they are insufficiently prepared to take command of the armed forces. Barry has about as much authority in military matters as I do in oil prospecting (which, just for the record, is none).
Other than that, they’re about as alike as burgers and tofu. And the only way that Barry could even begin to resemble Churchill would be for him to drop every single belief that he’s ever held and replace them with a shiny new set.
Plus, Churchill’s mother was American, which establishes his connection to the US far more concretely than what little we know about the great pretender.
The Left’s Barry and raincloud idols are swiftly heading for some pretty severe iconoclasm.
What will the jealous, needy whiners find to replace them?
Whomsoever is responsible for this entry, I love you.
I’m not sure how long it’s been like this, nor how much longer it’ll last before being “corrected”, but I stumbled upon this through my post about Togo West (which really does sound like it should be a place in Africa. Perhaps next to the least imaginatively named country evah, the Central African Republic. Guys, that’s a description, not a name).
You know that you’ve got a problem, though, when even the dictionary starts mocking you.
I know that it’s been traumatic, but this is the final, final edition of Barry tributes.
Well, maybe.
Anyway, this time it’s the turn of The Economist covers. Falling well behind Newsweek (30) and TIME (28) with a desultory 18 covers of Zero, The Economist does at least maintain a more even-handed appearance.
Not that that’s terribly difficult when the competition is what it is, but still.
Does this mean that it’s time for Barry for start whinging about another media outlet that *gasp* sometimes does its job and doesn’t always take every single thing that he says at face value?
No, that’s not quite the amount of taxpayer money that Barry has spent on ensuring that every official record bearing any relation at all to his life is kept under lock and key, away from the prying eyes of pesky voters.
The White House budget review issued in August projects that by the end of the current fiscal year on September 30th, the national debt could top $14 trillion. And seeing as that’s the massaged White House figures, we can dump another couple trillion bucks on top of it. At which point America owes more than it produces, and bankruptcy is no longer just a theoretical possibility.
Divided evenly among the U.S. population, it amounts to $38,974.34 for every man, woman and child.
Successive idiot-presidents, but particularly the current one, have succeeded in bringing the most industrious, innovative and creative nation the world has ever known to its knees.
But still, those on the Left will insist that Barry’s deficit and debt are “good”, while those of Bush were “bad.” Because they really are that stupid.
And what is the Left’s solution?
Why, more of the same, of course. Sure, Barry will make some noises about cutting spending, but he won’t let that affect his socialist agenda of massive state spending on cap’n'tax, health care, potentially Porkulous II, and a host of other things. So what will there be left for Barry to cut?
I realize that, in your infantile world, putting on a smiley-face and speaking without saying anything is the strategy that you’ve latched on to as the restorative for America’s shame at being the best in the world at everything (except, that is, for stonings, beheadings, suicide-bombings, FGM, throwing-acid-in-women’s-faces, human trafficking, tribal slaughter, throwing animals off buildings, and all the other wonderful contributions that the uncivilized world can, through the magic of multi-culturalism, make to our serene little part of the planet).
And that you clearly believe that if you bow to every person that you come across, be it the Japanese emperor, the Saudi king tyrant, or the Chinese president dictator Hu Jintao, then someone, somewhere will finally afford you some respect.
For while it is ceaselessly amusing to see someone so far out of his depth, the humor rapidly wears thin with the realization that this is the man entrusted with our security.
The world’s bad boys do not need any encouragement to be worse than they already are. But Barry’s invertebrate behavior is fueling actions that are not going to end well. China has been waiting to overwhelm Taiwan since 1949. In the past 60 years, there has never been a better time for them to strike.
Anti-American sentiment, whether deserved or not, is running rampant, the financial crisis is the focus of the world’s politicians (along with the environment -- WTF?), and the US is led by a man who, despite launching a “comprehensive” new strategy for Afghanistan in March 2009 still doesn’t know if he meant it or not in November 2009. He not only reaches the wrong conclusions on every issue going, but also takes eons to get there.
The Decider, he ain’t.
My prediction for an exogenous shock during Barry’s mis-administration?
