Tony Blankley: Now Sits Expectation In The Air

Never has there been a man so ill-equipped, yet so hopeful and hoped for in this position. It would truly be a miracle if he bats .250 or better.

There are media reports that he is smoking more than usual. Who could blame him? For many of the rest of us, we wake up at 2 in the morning worried about our family's or our business's finances. Obama has to worry about the nation's and the world's finances -- and wars and threats of yet more wars.

I'm just heartbroken with empathy for the poor dear.

Chuckle, giggle snort...

No REALLY... it's just soooo sad....

OK, it's not funny. But once he falls on his face -- which should take less than a week after he defiles Lincoln's bible (providing he makes it that far), I am going to take immense pleasure in finding that Obama fanatic I know and telling him "I told you so!"

Nobody cares what lame duck Bush says about this anymore, but the whole angry world awaits the first presidential utterance of Barack H. Obama on the matter of putting the Jews in their place. Will he speak for all the Jew haters in Europe and the Middle East -- or will he speak as every American president since Harry Truman has, and defend Israel's right to exist and militarily protect itself when its civilians are attacked by yet more fanatic, Islamist bombs and rockets?

Thank you, Tony, for saying this.

"Guess I picked the wrong year to quit smoking crack."

"It seems as if all the problems of the world are lining up and just waiting for our new president to handle. "

All the problems are because it looked like the Obammunist was going to be prez 6 months ago.

"There are media reports that he is smoking more than usual."

So, the phoney gym workouts are to counter these reports?

I've seen video of Hussein on the golf course, at the beach, never on a muscle machine.

This clown has no idea what he’s doing and 53 million voters expect him to work miracles...

You mean we aren't all going to get free houses, free gas, and free health care?

until recently the world, including citizen of the world Obama, condemned Americans for shopping to the tune of 25 percent of world consumption. Now the whole world is begging us to buy more stuff to keep the world from going broke.

Or as Mark Steyn (http://www.ocregister.com/articles/christmas-apart-world-2267866-lives-grown) puts it:

"After all, everyone knows Americans consume too much. What was it that then Sen. Obama said on the subject? "We can't just keep driving our SUVs, eating whatever we want, keeping our homes at 72 degrees at all times regardless of whether we live in the tundra or the desert and keep consuming 25 percent of the world's resources with just 4 percent of the world's population, and expect the rest of the world to say, 'You just go ahead, we'll be fine.'"

And boy, we took the great man's words to heart. SUV sales have nose-dived, and 72 is no longer your home's thermostat setting but its current value expressed as a percentage of what you paid for it.

If I understand then Sen. Obama's logic, in a just world Americans would be 4 percent of the population and consume 4 percent of the world's resources. And in these past few months we've made an excellent start toward that blessed utopia: Americans are driving smaller cars, buying smaller homes, giving smaller Christmas presents. And yet, strangely, President-elect Barack Obama doesn't seem terribly happy about the Obamafication of the U.S. economy. He's proposing some 5.7 bazillion dollar "stimulus" package or whatever it is now to "stimulate" it back into its bad old ways."

It would be funny if the affirmative action poster boy simply said, "After thinking about it, I have decided I really don't want the job."

He probably wishes he could crawl into a hole somewhere.

Barack is on a Hawaiian beach with sand underfoot. As it shifts he might decide bury his head, or cling to his ballerina buddy.

“the nightmare has not yet begun”

We're in deep sh*t now with a highly experienced and competent foreign policy crew. Wait until 1/20 when every one in the world, friend and foe alike, will start testing this guy with new and even more dangerous initiatives.

obama and his clintonista boob crew will go on vapor lock.

[Salamander]

Yeah....the whole world is lining up, waiting....much as a wolf pack waits until the weakest of the herd foolishly wanders off alone.

We are screwed.

‘Bambi’ ain’t gonna end so happily, this time.

[beaversmom]

Ha, ha—love Mark Steyn.

[KC_Conspirator]

Right on.

The last 2 democrat presidents; one legitimized Yasser Arafat and the other turned out to be an outright anti-semite.

[RU88]

Hate to say it Salamander but that was a perfect analogy. I’m convinced he’s in way over his head.

I figure to get business cards printed up to hand out to Obama voters every time he fall on his face. The card would say You must be so proud!
