***Desperate to escape eight-years of an abusive relationship with a reckless cowboy...***

The “reckless cowboy” served two terms as the Texas Governor. He did such a bad job that he was elected to his second term by a landslide.

Zero was merely a Senator who mostly voted, “present.”

Martin Gross (National Suicide) accurately stated that any nation run by a self-confident fool is headed for disaster. I think that describes Hussein perfectly, and the disasters are begining to mount up.

Even the NY Slimes allows the light of truth to illuminate reality.

It'll revert in time to elect Democrats this November, upon this you can rely.

Obama may be able to rally his supporters to the polls in November if there is enough “walking-aroung” money, as it is called.

It is funny to see ANY democrat, black or not, contorting themselves into some kind of excuse for this pos, who has nothing in common with and experience of someone who is a United States Citizen, regardless of color.

Yes, are you saying that tens of millions of your fellow Americans have "closed minds"? There's a book about that The Closing of the American Mind.

“President Obama’s relationship with America, like many a young marriage, is growing sour.”

Sobering up after a drunken, kool-aid fueled Vegas wedding, America wants an annulment based on irreconcilable differences and alienation of affection.

Better yet since the groom is a fraudulent usurper the marriage was never legal to begin with.

Great post! I wonder when the folks at the NYT and the rest of the MSM will get around to vetting this guy?

>>>Hey Charles...you blow!

With a last name like “Blow,” he probably learned in high school to defend himself with a thesaurus. I’ve seen last names far worse/magnetic.

I haven't read that book. I choose which authors I read very carefully after researching their backgrounds. Too damn many NYT 'professionals' writing books that are oft quoted.

I don't know how to describe this America-hatred malaise, even by its own 'citizens' who fit these groups, succinctly enough to suit me. The best that I can come up with is their willingness to take in the pap that represents itself as MSM news from convenient sources (network TV, teachers/professors (liberals), and the like.)

I guess it is a sickness borne out of comfort and accommodation by government towards their lesser qualities (greed, jealousy, hatred and laziness). The ills that preceded and prompted their collective disenchantments don't really exist anymore, yet they think, act and vote like they do.

The speech was just fine? This guy may be E.J. Dionne’s twin who was seperated from him at birth. They both have so much in common. Being reprehinsible is just one of many things.

Figures that someone named Blow would pine over a
president who sucks.


The best observation here. I'm jealous.

Good grief. How viscerally mindless we are.

We're not viscerally mindless. This guy Blow is.

"How could a socialist Muslim have trouble maintaining a relationship with a Judeo/Christian democracy?

A well armed Judeo/Christian republic has no problem with a Muslim but when they start stoning women here, they had better make sure they are a really good shot.

On the other hand, if a "socialist" takes away the guns and we go back to the waring stone age...all bets on "getting along" are off.

A "socialist" "Muslim" will cause war, destabilization and confusion every time. Who is using Obama to socially rip things apart in a Country that believes in equal rights and freedoms for all humans?

Is it the money they are after..cause we don't have any..we are bankrupt.

Is it the women the are after...cause any foolish woman can marry a lazy (socialist) or take a magic carpet ride to brutal subservience.

Is it the power they seek, cause anyone in America can make a better life for themselves if the socialist "progressives" don't put a cap on it with taxes.

Is it that they made bad youthful choices that harmed themselves and others but they need someone to lash out at...cause anyone can turn their life around and make things better.

Is it cause they just like to see what happens when they rip things up cause it makes them feel powerful and it's fun...pretty much.

Human boredom..the most destructive force on the planet.

Forget about what others have or what others think. Get your hands dirty, blow your mind with the mysteries of your universe today and save the world...oh and keep your guns handy in case someone gets bored.

LOL. I’m almost ashamed to admit this made me laugh, but if it depicts the President’s coterie of fellow Communist America-haters in reaction to his poll numbers I’m totally fine with it.

"...he sees the truth starring him in the face, but he so wants it not to be so..."

That, IMHO, is exactly the definition of why liberalism = mental illness.

"Martin Gross (National Suicide) accurately stated that any nation run by a self-confident fool is headed for disaster."

Bush was confident but was not a fool. He ran programs management before becoming a governor. And after 9/11 he scared the hell out of a lot of Muslims by drawing a line in the sand they will not cross.

I want to know how many hundreds of thousands of jihadis died in Afghan and Iraq and in between while Bush ran the show. It seems to be a big secret.
