Our president is quite the angry man these days.
Perhaps his heart is two sizes too small, or maybe he just hates the residents of Who-ville (and “bitter Americans clinging to guns and religion” here in America.) Perhaps being forced by public opinion to retain the “religious” aspect of White House Christmas decorations has placed our man in Washington in a foul mood.
Perhaps, it is the fact that he is now the most unpopular president ever recorded this early into a first term.
Perhaps it’s because his “stimulus bill” that in his mind has been so successful it calls for a sequel, has seen 49 out of 50 states continue to lose jobs in the 9 months since it was enacted.
Maybe it was the new Battleground Poll released December 16 that found that the number of respondents choosing to self-identify as “very or somewhat conservative” has reached 63% while the number of those self-identifying as “very or somewhat liberal” represent 33% with the all-important moderates registering at a whopping 1%. You’ll note, of course, that the all-important and clearly unbiased media continue to advise the GOP to abandon their 63% in favor of the massive 1% middle as the only hope for future electoral success under the guise of a “big tent.” The remaining 3% in the survey are so well-informed that they couldn’t even decide what their ideology is.
Even his formerly close personal friend, Communist Dictator Hugo Chavez, said that the “one we’ve been waiting for” smells like sulfur after all. And to think, it was only a few months back that these two political soul mates were high-fiving, hugging and exchanging gifts at a “Bash America Now” convention where Obama graciously thanked various rogues for at least not holding him personally responsible for the evils of America before he became president.
Whatever the reason, the former harbinger of “hope and change” has turned into quite the candidate for anger management. It began in earnest with Mr. Obama’s “both sides now” speech on the Afghanistan War. At the speech, Mr. Obama looked incredibly ill-at-ease while announcing his plan to both start a surge and retreat (an homage to his Illinois senate days where he cast countless “present” votes.) Unlike the smooth TelePrompter reader and brave ACORN trainer of the old days, this president was clearly annoyed. (To be fair, he could have been annoyed at the large number of cadets that were captured on national television dozing off during his speech.) His trademark charm was replaced with a scowl and furrowed brow. His jubilant rhetoric of self-adoration was replaced by an angry condescending know-it-all kind of vibe.
Surely someone in the White House could tell him that Americans don’t generally like know-it-alls. We usually beat them up and take their lunch money.
The same has been true with health care. As if filled to the brim with seething rage over the prospect that anyone would dare question him, Mr. Obama’s speeches and promotion of the only reform standing between us and widespread death and disease have been low on the inspiration and heavy on the condemning fear-mongering. Rational debate, nay even reading of the bill, are off limits, and the president is left with thinly veiled threats to congressmen like the one directed to Democratic Congressman Peter DeFazio, in which the Commander-in-Chief warned his “brother” that he was “keeping score” and not-so-subtle threats to every day Americans, doctors, and insurance companies for being “selfish” or “greedy.” (A favorite tactic of the temperamental toddler.)
The president, who fancies himself a solid B+ or A- in the presidency thus far, was supposed to be loved and adored in Copenhagen, ground zero for the new communist movement known as “the green movement.” (Do a quick google search on Gorbachev and “green movement” for more on that one.) Global warming propagandists and frauds from all over the world have converged on Copenhagen to promote a new Communist global initiative that will further crush America’s economy. Of course, who cares about putting food on the table when you have carbon footprints to consider? Raising our utility bills in some cases by 100-200% is the least we could do when we can barely pay our bills as it is.
So in the completely snow-covered global warming convention, Mr. Obama was supposed to be a rock star. President Bush, we were told, had so damaged our nation’s prestige in the world (particularly on the environment) that only a political deity like Obama could dig us out of this negative avalanche.
Yet, the great hope of Saul Alinsky has fallen flat on his face. It seems the world is souring on President Obama nearly as quickly as America is. The U.K.’s Guardian reports that Obama “looked visibly frustrated as he appeared before world leaders.” Fringe gaggle of environmental freaks known as “Friends of Earth” claimed that Mr. Obama had “disappointed the whole world.” Another observer remarked candidly that perhaps “Copenhagen isn’t Mr. Obama’s city” after his other failed visit here in an attempt to score an Olympic hosting job for Chicago. Then of course there was the fore-mentioned attack by his pal Chavez and an accompanying one from Castro.
Perhaps the “citizen of the world” returning to America with his tail between his legs, can muster the strength to put aside his “hurt feelings” that people have rejected his supreme deity over mankind long enough to handle the little incident in Iraq, where peace-loving Iran has capturing an Iraqi oil field (no doubt simply for peaceful energy production similar to their nuclear program that Mr. Obama fails to see a problem with.) Probably not. It will simply be noted in a future speech as another positive contribution to America by Muslims.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Just earlier this year the conventional wisdom was that Obama’s mug would be on Mount Rushmore by now, and elections would be abolished in order to establish lifelong tenure as President, while simultaneously starting up his campaign for world potentate.
Something else has happened entirely. It appears that Mr. Obama and his gaggle of left-wing extremists have awakened a sleeping giant. The media is completely aghast at the simpletons in this country that just don’t understand what a gift we have in the White House (despite his daily attempts to tell us.)
As our president licks his wounds and begins repeating personal positive affirmations to himself in the mirror, it has to sting just a bit how much love and adoration greeted his nemesis, NY Times Bestselling author (4 weeks and counting at #1--a record for a politician) Sarah Palin, as thousands upon thousands turned up in locations across the nation and braved the elements and the lines for a glimpse at the “arctic fox.”
And this is just the beginning for President Obama. It looks like 2010 will make 2009’s “winter of his discontent” look like the good-old days.
By contrast, 2010 is looking like a great year for America (and Sarah Palin!)
Something I've been noticing more and more.
This would be my dream ticket!!
I also love Liz Cheney, she'd be a hell of a VP.
I would hate it if his anger manifested itself as a fatal medical problem.
Not drivel, lost opportunity.
PIAPS is setting herself up for a run for the WH in 2012 because of the failed impostor in the WH....once the 2010 elections happen and the republicans win big...PIAPS will resign from SOS and start her campaign.
Not unless he has been removed from the scene by others, or resigned which I cannot see happening under any circumstances.
She would not get the black votes or turnout if it appears that she has displaced him, and this would lead to massive Dem defeats the whole length of the ticket.
Well they're always looking for historical precedents. This will do.
The kenyan got cheated out of something, somewhere along the line, and somebody’s got to pay.
How about a bi-racial bastard serially abandoned by both parents? The early childhood photos are sad. A very happy and engaged child. Not the dead eyed, hollow souled Lurch that he is now.
I pray every night that God will expose 0bama for who he really is.
And every day I see my prayers answered.
A couple months ago I noticed he was beginning to implode. It’s even more obvious now.
Excellent sequence of photos. Tells it all.
Weak and malicious.
once the 2010 elections happen and the republicans win big...PIAPS will resign from SOS and start her campaign.
FUTURE FAIL ALERT
(if she's actually nuts enough to even try it...)
What did the fashion mavon of the western world wear to the disaster? A red hot momma outfit, I bet.
In history, it has often been NARCISSISTIC LEADERS who do bad things when they start losing their admirers and become the laughing stock of the people.
Think: Hitler, Napoleon, Nixon, and Slick Willie. Note how Slick Willie has that mean, junkyard dog manner when he’s cornered. He’s one mean S.O.B. Nixon was mean. Well, and Hitler...
There’s no doubt about Obama: He’s a psychopath. And we’ll see him get mean in due time.
Contrast the above with our classy icon, Ronald Reagan. He had no ego about him, whatsoever.
"Before we start opening presents, here's a question: Who knew Copenhagen was in Mongolia? For the Danish capital is this week the site of one of history's more gigantic Mongolian Cluster, ah, Foulups...
So - our first present is from Hillary Clinton, who has "electrified" all the warmists freezing in Copenhagen (it snowed several inches there yesterday and temps are at record lows) with her "pledge" of $100 billion in payoffs to Third World beggars.
I swear, reading the morning news these days is so much funnier than any comedy skit on SNL. Almost every story is so cluelessly hilarious, and the headline on Hillary gets an even bigger belly-laugh than normal.
The press and the beggars hail her as a hero, not reading her fine print. The offer, you see, is "conditional" upon China accepting international verification of the emission cuts they say they will make. It's right out of Reagan's "trust but verify" playbook.
Hillary knows that Congress will never give her the $100 bil, but she doesn't care because she also knows China will reject the now famous MRV formula of "measurable, reportable, and verifiable" emission cuts. So she comes out of the Copenhagen Debacle rose-perfumed, China the spoiler villain, and Zero looking like a failed schmuck yet again. (Didn't he learn his lesson when he went to Copenhagen the last time to plead for a Chicago Olympics?)
As her popularity will now soar ever higher over Zero, realize that all of this is by her design. She has two goals: either be on the Supreme Court or in the Oval Office. She knows she has no chance for SCOTUS after 2010, Senate verification being impossible with a Dem minority or much-reduced majority.
She can't wait for 2016 as she'll be almost 70, and she can't keep the public's attention on her that long anyway. Nope, folks, she's going for 2012. After the Dem disaster next November, she will fix all the blame for it on Zero, resign as Secretary of State, announce her candidacy, beat Zero in the primaries (if he doesn't pull a LBJ and drop out), and be the Dem nominee.
So the next President of the United States will be a woman - because it will be Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton in 2012."
I agree, good article. Of cousre there’s so much failure to write about, everyones getting in on it.
I don’t even know if the Ever So Loverly Michelle went ... I was being my typical sarcastic self.
However, if you happen to find a picture... feel free to ping me!
It's a theory, and we can never discount the Clintons' drive for power, but I'm not yet convinced that Hillary's going to go for it.
Should the last two candidates standing in 2012 be Hillary and Sarah, the Dems are gonna be in a heap o' trouble.
