Totally agree.

Like your "nom de plume", too.

As soon as the threads started showing up saying Obama and Michelle were heading to Copenhagen to jerk the Europoids into line, I knew it was going to backfire.

Obama is so convinced of his majesty and persuasiveness that he actually believes that he can talk anyone into supporting him if he can just get into the same room with them and unleash his charm.

The thing is, however, the Europeans did not stop denigrating Americans because he was elected. They just denigrate him in a different, more condescending, way. More of an "isn't he cute!" sort of attitude that is similar to what a person would say when they see a dog on a skateboard or a cat playing the piano.

It certainly does not mean they respect him or that they are willing to go against their own interests just to salve his rapacious ego and overweening need for attention.

And Michelle? I have never seen a woman that goes everywhere with such a huge chip on her shoulder, daring anyone to knock it off. She couldn't sell beer to Marines in the Sahara dessert.

BO also allegedly had a meeting with Gen. McCrystal. Wonder what it was about and who else BO met with on the sly?

Interestingly enough, Copenhagen is where a huge climate change gathering is going to take place........in December. And, I read another article that it is (the cap & tax bill)basically stalled (for now).

"The intelligence that we had from the U.S. Olympic Committee and Chicago bid team was that it was very close and therefore well worth our efforts," said Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House advisor.

I hope she's not the one giving advice on Iran...

Kinda off topic, but I was just wondering....since the Olympics are in the southern hemisphere in 2016, does that mean they are still the “summer olympics” or are they gonna be “winter olympics”?

Brazil is equatorial... No real change of seasons as we experience it.

Maybe they just played to The One™'s ego for extra media coverage.

I don’t believe for a moment he was unfazed. For starter’s he takes everything personally, so rest assured he was seething, raging mad, whether he showed it or not.

In other news:

A whoopie cushion and hand buzzer were found in Rahm Emanuel’s luggage, and the head steward of Air Force One allegedly said, “Good morning, Mr. President, pull my finger” just before lift off. The pilot refused lunch due to stomach pains from laughing too hard while preparing his flight plan.

From the article:

Several weeks ago, he was in the Oval Office on the phone with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. The mayor wanted him to make the trip. The president told him that he genuinely wanted to go, but was worried about his workload.

Funniest line ever... worried about his workload. LOL

Sounds to me like someone got played big time. Instead of getting the gold, they got the bird droppings. I’m getting the impression that the “o” is being played like a fiddle in a bordello. Medvedev got the “o’ to betray Eastern Europe without giving the “o’ anything. And, would you believe that the “o’ has made substantive progress in negotiations with Iran?

The “o” is the new Rodney Dangerfield. Only he is not funny.

All I ask for a a true and honest (if that is not redundant!)

I used to know a young lady who spent a considerable amount of her time trying to get men to follow her into a Hollywood hotel. - That's true.

She was volunteering to help her church's outreach program - That's honest...

Maybe Zero needs to get drug-tested. Unfazed seems to be his constant state of being. Must be some really mellow stuff.

All wee wee'd up...

Good catch. It sounds like she is also just spinning to avoid blame for the whole fiasco. They certainly can’t blame this one on President Bush, although they have sent out their minions to try and do just that. Pathetic!

Obama, the same morons are telling you that you are brilliant, elegant, The One? Do you believe them? I wouldn’t.
