I'm not crazy about "The American Recovery & Reinvestment Plan," but then I guess he has to leave some stuff to the staff.

Good grief.

that reveals yet another distinguished individual picked to head an operation that he or she is supremely qualified to lead

And, which past accomplishments, dear Millie lead you to say he's supremely qualified, hmmmm?

Please deal in facts. Not feeeeeeeeeelings.

it is especially thrilling to go from a guy who wielded the English language like a hacksaw to a real writer.

Bill Ayers is president?

"...distinguished individual picked to head an operation that he or she is supremely qualified to lead and is not intent on undermining."

Actually, this entire premise is false. There is nothing that distinguishes Barry - not even being of mixed race, which is increasingly more common. He is not supremely qualified to lead, and was way past his paygrade as a community organizer. Lastly, he fully intends to undermine our founding principles and set the nation to ruin.

These weenies have fought America tooth and nail for the last 8 years, now they think they have a United States of America with this Kenyan as President.

Supremely qualified to lead?? Good Lawd. This woman has her head up her butt. Obama doesnt know crap from Shinola.

“..he doesn’t condescend, he doesn’t dumb down..”

The dumb usually recognize ‘dumbing down’ as ‘making alot of sense’!

Okay. Ready to copy? Here it goes: "Blah blah blah blah blah."

“So easy, a cavemen can do it.”
“Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.”
“Dude, you’re getting a Dell.”
“Please don’t squeeze the Charmin.”

Wow. I’m so good at slogans, I could be in charge of all fifty seven states. I want to be the C.I.A. director.

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”

This is what Thomas Carlyle so accurately saw coming: “the triumph of puffery.”

It reminds me of an old college roommate who was dating a girl whose father worked at a Chicago ad agency. Invited to the house for dinner, he listened as the father went on and on about how he was going to remake the image of Pabst beer, an account his agency had just landed.

After listening to this for quite a while, while having a few himself, my old roommate was asked what he thought.

He said: “There’s just one thing I want to know.”

The girl’s father asked: “What’s that?”

“What are you going to do about the taste of Pabst’s beer?

He responded. Actually I kind of used to like Pabst. But the point was well made.

At some point in the not too distant future, the real flavor of what is going on and the cluelessness of the One in dealing with it, is going to become inescapable.

This month’s issue of Advertising Age was so thin you literally could not tell the articles from the advertisements. Hopefully this useless rag of Obama kiss-ups will go the way of other POS publications.
