For the past eight years I have suffered the intolerant hate-filled-froth that has rested on the lips of "intelligencia." And by "intelligencia" I usually refer to people who have such high opinions of their learned place in life that they rain down condemnation and snobbery upon the poor schmucks like me who think common sense can be a more valuable commodity than ivy league tenure. (It can also include but not be limited to pretty much anyone else on the theological or political left in today's society. I've personally spotted froth on the mouths of fellow church goers, relatives, and an 80 year crackpot who comments frequently on this page that fancies herself witty--but incapable of defending a single thing she has ever stated... and likes to name herself after a popular barnyard animal. But hey it's intelligencia and we're not allowed to question it... Maybe it's to do with the smell...)
These people all believed one thing in common. Or maybe several. But the biggest, most important one that they all agreed upon universally, was that our past president was the dumbest man to ever walk the face of this planet.
They made jokes about how he walked. What he said publicly about God. The fact that he actually thought Al Qaeda were animals that, perish the thought, should be locked away from the rest of humanity. They made jokes about what kind of parent he was. They made jokes about President Bush making Condi Rice his own personal Sally Hemmings. AND They made jokes about pretzels missing their intended "target." (And by "joke" I mean something that they likely told their friends in the teacher's lounge and everyone giggled at.) They made them about new words like "strategery" and "misunderestimated."
These types applauded the Dixie Chicks when they went to foreign soil and spit on their nation. And oddly enough they actually DO feel like the United States should apologize for keeping her citizens safe for the past eight years. But I digress.
Now that the chosen O has replaced the much scoffed at W there seems to be a high road of hypocrisy that the frothy-pants seemed to have put in place.
(Especially given the fact that to date it is Barack Obama who had the dumbest of all time responses ever in a presidential forum in the history of planet earth. Fat Albert's friend translated it this way: "Uh... that-ba would-ba be-ba an answer-ba above-ba my-ba paygrade... bah...")
But see we were never told by Brian Williams that everyone who had ever been president prior to W was evil. Or that he had been the editor of the Harvard Law Review. Or that he was the most famous person in all of history.
So maybe it's because of all those "accomplishments" that the press gets to give Obama a near shut out of coverage when he tries to use window as though it were a door earlier today outside the Oval Office.
For every mishap that W ever had there were non-stop commentaries for weeks about his IQ (which was higher than Al Gore and John Kerry's) and his manliness though he was perhaps the most fit president ever to serve. (Big Bad Barry O only grudgingly released his medical records to the public because of his addiction to nicotine.)
I don't take delight in anyone trying to open a locked door--even one not in his own house (as Bush did) or to try to convert an Oval Office window into an entry way (as did Obama). But I do think that if one gets the label for being imperfect, the press has an obligation to return the favor, especially when the expectations on said chosen one are higher than ever before in the history of mankind.
And full disclosure here, I've tried to go through a shut door as well. But I was 17, and in a hurry to complete a task on the university campus so that I could meet up with the hottest brunette in attendance. Running at a dead sprint I hit the closed glass door full speed, and needed eight stitches at the campus hospital. Worked out though... the next morning major sympathy from the cute brunette... AND her phone number!
Imagine what the press would've said about that!
What a great way to put it.
I've always found it funny that the Democrat Party always claims to be for the "working class" yet they are the most elitist group of people on the planet. And Obama is the pefect example of this.
Obama should take some grammar lessons.
Tuesday- “There is some legitimate philosophical differences with parts of my plans ..”
Al Arabiya interview:
THE PRESIDENT: — ..... There’s no actions that they’ve taken .....
I can’t find the quote, but,I specifically heard Obama mangle a sentence when speaking extemporaneously in the Oval Office about the closing of Gitmo.
He used “ a” instead of “ an “.
I have no doubt that the media is sanitizing his grammar when they print texts of his remarks.
Gee, that’ll sure make the intellectualoids feel superior to him!
“I’ve personally spotted froth on the mouths of fellow church goers, relatives...”
I have spotted froth on fellow church goers too, and I don’t understand it at all. A lady in my Bible study class said, “He is for change, and people just won’t give him a chance.” My lovely, kind 92 year old aunt voted for him too. I don’t understand how these intelligent, loving, Christian people can’t see what he is.
Oh, and don’t forget
‘Afghanistan needs more Arabic translators to help the peace efforts, we don’t have enough, and yadablah.’ - BO
And they don’t SPEAK Arabic in Afghanistan.
What an arrogant IDIOT
The MSM is shameless and unconscionable.
Even though it was a major nuclear processing facility during WWII,,,and is the largest nuclear waste facility in this country,,,,currently holds 2/3 of the nuclear waste in this country,,,
HUSSEIN HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT!!
WHAT A BLITHERING IDIOT--yet the Press ignored it.
>> It wasn’t even a misspellng...it was an outdated alternate spelling.
If I’m not mistaken, the classroom instructor gave Quayle a card that had the word spelled in its ‘archaic’ form as “potatoe”
Good point I have heard Mr Obama which of course is not correct but at least it is polite and respectful rather than just Bush and Cheney.
...which is disgusting especially when those present knew that Quayle only used the spelling on the card prepared by the teachers. He would have embarrassed them on live TV if he had said something about it at the time. Perhaps he wasn't sure if the spelling was correct, but he certainly did not think that the teacher's card was wrong.
Was he set up or was there an ignorant teacher? Maybe some day, the teacher (or student) writing the card will go public admitting her error. I won't hold my breath.
You also won't see any of the national comedians (Leno, Letterman, etc) do anything to embarrass Hussein either. It's disgusting.
