Ah yes! I forgot that one.

Then there is always this oblique reference to his audio-appendages:

ODumbo.

[HomerBohn]

Don't forget:

Bathhouse Barry

Towel Boy

Bronco Bama

Mr. Parasite

White House Knucklehead

And let’s not forget the names we have for:

Mooch-elle
The Beard
Chewbacca
The Wookie

LOL

[Baynative]

WOW - thanks for the education. She should have campaigned (and probably could have won) on that alone!

[Steely Tom]

I utterly hate these people that feel that their public office is an “INHERITANCE”!

And believe that their very highly paid public jobs, with full-ride health care and solid gold retirement plans, are a personal sacrifice.

"Cassidy didn’t address slavery, but African-American syndicated columnist Star Parker did. A former single mother who spent years on welfare, Parker appears in the film and attacks the “government poverty plantation.” “With slavery, people generally want out,” she said. “But with welfare, folks are comfortable.”

Tough words, but hardly an endorsement of slavery. Parker is appalled at how Landrieu “dug into the gutter” to try to save her Senate seat. “I did not say slavery was better. I did say that the same political party that enslaved blacks 150 years ago is now full of overseers who ensure that no discussion of freedom from welfare is conducted in African-American communities.”

I think it's time to take Barack, Holder and Al Sharpton up on their desire for a dialogue on race in America. In fact, I'd like to start with the comments made by Pat Buchanan back when Obama first started talking about a world in need being run by white man's greed.

From Buchanan:
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America.

Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.

This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

Barack talks about new “ladders of opportunity” for blacks.

Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for “deserving” white kids.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

[Kit cat]

I adore Starr Parker, it is sooooooo hard for me to believe she was EVER on welfare!!!!! She is an articulate beautiful young woman definitely not your typical stereotype welfare recipient, VERY happy her voice is NOW on our side!!!!!!!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

And the post turtle.

[X-spurt]

If Miss Piggy keeps eatin all that delish NO food, we won’t be paying her long.

Give that girl another double helping of bread pudding.

[houeto]

Thank you for straightening that out Liz. Most people have a hard time grasping the depth of this monstrosity and how much the PTB spent of our money to both destroy and take control of this nation’s health care system. Pure evil has been unleashed with the ignorance of universal suffrage. Most people should NOT have a right to vote! The Founders were chrystal clear about that!

[Liz]

O/Care is a huge money-laundering operation---everybody got a cut. From Michelle and her pal who made zillions botching the rollout web site using a phony computer company---to Obama admin insiders...Jonathan Gruber, and of, course, Dumbocrats.

============================================

We still do not know where these billions went.

O/care allocated some $6 billion tax dollars----campaign money for loyal Dumbocrats)----which has yet to be traced.

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, lock-stepping Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote. But not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

THE PAYOFF--WHO GETS THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion

<><> Where is all that money going?

<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?

The sound of West Wing wire-transfers to states and to offshore banks is almost palpable.

WHERE IS THE MONEY?

[Baynative]

What I find absolutely appalling is that $200MILLION jumped to $4.3BILLION and no one bats an eye. I mean, the $200MILLION was bad enough but the lack of concern in congress, in the media and as far as I’m concerned, the DOJ is sickening.

[Liz]

Nobody bats an eye b/c they’re all getting a cut..... pols known every shady MO to launder the zillions looted from the govt.

Contemplate how Madoff operated.

Money-laundering, tax evasion was part of the
Madoff mix-—aiding and abetting billionaires, foundations, and tax-exempts break the law in a seemingly legal way.
In the process, Madoff helped himself to the untraceable money.....and got nailed himself.

When he went to jail for 125 years, investigators found Ponzi King Madoff had stashed billions offshore-—into a labyrinth of financial entities.

Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service

providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex financial architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money
to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

Dummycrats apparently took notes.
