Barack Obama Is Making Me Laugh
BigGovernment ^ | July 2, 2010 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 07/02/2010 8:02:34 PM PDT by Kaslin

I sat chuckling all through Obama’s immigration speech Thursday. Forgive me, but that has been my recent response whenever I listen to Obama’s speechifying. I am somewhat surprised at my recent response to his outlandish rhetoric, but he makes such a mockery of his very words, of America, and of capitalism, that he is, invariably, comical.

He recited Emma Lazarus’s poem “The New Colossus,” which is engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty, yet he has disparaged American exceptionalism and prides himself on being post-American. How can you not bust a gut?

So I listened to his speech on immigration and chuckled as he lectured us, yet again, on what America is — as if he had a clue about what America is. His contempt for us is so palpable. As if he had any respect for what makes America great – free speech, individual rights, entrepreneurship, and privacy rights. As if he had a clue as to why legal immigrants come here — to escape tyrants and would-be tyrants like him.

He was so used to dealing with STUPID people in his function as a Community Organizer that he thinks everyone is the same. Enough were to elect the ********!

My 66 year old friend and I just confessed to each other tonight that as bad as Clinton was, we believed he loved and meant well for our country.

Not so Obama...he wants to destroy us.

Revelations 12:6 “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.”

They’ll try to destroy her.

My fave Obama line is on his acceptance of the Democrat nomination. I think his handlers must have felt he was starting to get a tad arrogant, so he started his speech with this line, "It is with the utmost humility . . . "

I imagined him thinking to himself, 'man, I OWN humility, humility is my b****, I am the god of humility, the humility of others pales in comparision to my golden, shining, beacon of humility that I have decided to grace these mere mortals with . . .'

Maybe he will look up that word someday.

The other one does hate America.

His stated goal is to delete the codes upon which America was formatted. Like a trojan worm, he seeks to erase the hard drive, so he can re-write it to conform to his own pathetic socialistic vision.

There is simply nothing funny about a virus which is attempting to infect the very root of our nation.

Who is the man-child?

And the rest of her offspring the serpent makes war with?

Who is the woman? Schofield surmises this is an allusion to Mary who had to leave her home to bear Christ, foreshadowing a later apocalyptic event.

I’m asking honestly as I don’t pretend to know....

A truck driver is driving down the road and up ahead he sees a priest walking up the shoulder going his direction. So, he pulls over, rolls down the passenger side window and says, “Father, would you like a ride, I’m going your way?”

The man of the cloth gladly accepts and climbs up into the cab.

So, they get back on the road and they’re tooling along when up ahead the driver sees Barack Obama walking up the shoulder going the same direction.

Now, the driver gets real nervous because normally when he sees a known communist walking along the road he runs over them. But, seeing how he has a priest aboard he knows he just can’t do it. So, he steels his nerves and begins to pass Obama by.

But just as he’s going past he hears a loud “thump, thump!”

Panicked, he turns to the priest and says, “Father, I swear I didn’t hit him. I wanted to real bad but I didn’t do it, I swear!”

With a look of complete peace on his face the priest looked back at him and said, “Don’t worry about it, my son. I got him with the door.”

I honestly have no idea. I’ve wondered about it as well, given where it is in Revelations. It just seemed... appropriate. The Left will do everything in it’s power to destroy her.

As pride goeth before a fall, we can only hope his deceit will be exposed and “humility” becomes humiliation.

I guess that sounds like “schadenfreude”.

I think David prayed for his enemies to be crushed once in a while. Its hard to keep the other cheek turned these days.

If Quakers had been the predominant force in early US history we wouldn’t be having a discussion now.

I agree, I don’t think Clinton was deliberately trying to destroy our nation. He was a buffoon and an oaf, but not a sabateur.

Jesus is described as the first-born of many brethren somewhere my recall prompts... we might be the “seed” of the woman.

The meaning of the book of Revelation is hidden/locked until the end times. God will hand us the keys right before we need them.

We have to keep bumping current events up against scripture.

He will.

Every dog has his day and Karma is a bitch. What he will eventually find out is that he is just as dispensable as all of the friends and family he ungraciously thrown under his bus in his quest for grandeur. The current people he now calls friends will spit on him and will laugh at his name.

He will soon discover that he is not nearly as ‘special’ as he thinks he is, and when it hits him it will crush his very soul.

It will happen.

Not going to the mat over it; I never do with prophecy. But, Scripture refers to the church as the bride of Christ. So I usually interpret the “her” to refer to the church.

He recited Emma Lazarus’s poem “The New Colossus,” which is engraved at the base of the Statue of Liberty...recited it rather poorly, apparently - "...yearning to be free" instead of the actual "...yearning to breathe free" - very disappointing from such a patriot and intellectual giant.....

How quickly we forget. Is Obama that bad that you can forget about all the egregious things Slick Willy did? Not to mention his 'wife from hell!' These people ruined thousands of lives and murder nearly 400. And you can say that he had America's best interest at heart. Sheeeesh!!!

Try running that by the family members of the three kids who were murdered by his henchmen in Arkansas who stumbled onto that cocaine drop at an airstrip near Mena, AK.

With that lightweight idiotic comment, you should be made revisit the Clinton Chronicles video and FReeper Alamo Girl's Downside Legacy CD, and report back here and then let us know if your opinion has changed any.

Despite all the depressed sounding responses to this article, I can’t help laughing, myself, as I read the “Won” referred to as a “twink” by a bunch of gay guys with a good website.
And THEY should know.

Hope this lifts some spirits. It certainly lifted mine. “Twink”. Gonna remember that.

Might change my tagline to: “He’s not gay...he’s just gender challenged.”

as bad as Clinton was, we believed he loved and meant well for our country.

That's because he's a better liar than Obamaroid. "Have you plugged the hole yet, Daddy?" isn't something you'd ever hear from Billybob. He was smarter than that.

I will concede that he didn't hate America like Rev. Wright's big-eared apprentice, but he loathed the military and America's place in the world such that he was willing to trade secrets to the Chinese for campaign cash.

As far as Bill is concerned, America is, has, and will, continue giving him the big Lewinsky.

Obama wants to be her (America's) pimp daddy:

"See them union boys over there? Get to it, b*tch!"
"What you mean you don't want to do Wall Street? I'll kick your skank *ss!"
"Don't you worry about no oil, when I come down there, you better have the cash!"
"No!, don't tell me you don't like Mexicans!" "You better put on your best Seniorita 'cause I've got a party planned, you hear!?"
"What you mean you need gas money, hoe!?" "I told you to get rid of that gas-guzzler, b*tch!" "You're lucky I don't make you ride a bike, dammit!"
"Give me the cash. I ain't askin' again. I'll knock your sorry teeth out you hold back one dime, you hear me?"

I realize the differences are subtle, but here they are.

...Not so Obama...he wants to destroy us.

You might be right. I just think Obama is grossly incompetent and a fool. But unfortunately unlike 'safe' incompetents who understand their limitations, Obama is cursed with a strong narcissistic streak that causes him to believe that his touch is 'golden'.
He's foolish enough to believe the crap taught in school that 'Marxist' doctrine would work if implemented 'correctly' (unlike anyone with real world experience who knows that Marxism is contrary to human nature ... And that it is no accident that countries that have attempted to adopt Marxist policies have turned into hellish nightmares) ... and of course, the incompetent wonder is the one to do the job...
Lucky us...

"Why isn’t the President of the United States working on the problem 24/7? I want to know why the nation’s Chief Executive has not been holed up in a war room, 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the past 72 days, working with the world’s finest scientific minds and oceanographic and energy experts to solve the oil spill crisis."

SCATHING!

This crystallizes the fact Obama is not only a hard-core lefty...but mostly, he's not an EXECUTIVE in the most challenging executive position in the world.

“It’s the same laugh I had with Baghdad Bob.”

Are you referring to Saddam Hussein’s PR flack, or Barack Hussein’s PR flack? Or both?

As much as I feel sorry for Robert Gibbs’ job of having to go before the press and try to explain this disaster of a POTUS, his aloof arrogance (a lot like his boss’s) is more irritating than anything else.

Maybe we can chip in and get them both new berets for Ramadan?
