PRESIDENT GAFFE'S BIGGER PROBLEMS!
Townhall.com ^ | 03.22.09 | Kevin McCullough

hen 84% of the American people, according to the AOL Hot Seat weekend poll, think a joke you cracked on late night television was either tone-deaf/insensitive or worse yet flat-out offensive then you might think you have problems. (Heh who are we kidding? You do! You do!) Just because Britain's largest daily newspaper has a top ten gaffe reel assembled and online before your presidency is barely 60 days old, you might believe that you're the laughingstock of serious members of the world community of leaders. (Again, likely, you're right.) And when you take the time to address an Islamic Republic via YouTube (after they had been burning you in effigy for weeks) with a plea to come to the table of intellects and have a philosophical wine and cheese night about how the world looks in your unicorn-excretion of utopia, but can still hear the ripple of laughter from Tehran five days later, you might even wonder if you deserve it. (Again, batting a thousand on this one champ!)

Now if these elements composed the entire universe of faux pas committed in your time in office then you might even be able to withstand them.

But if these embarrassments followed things like giving the Prime Minister of Britain twenty-five DVD's that were not even compatible with European media players, or accepting priceless gifts from fellow heads of state that were made out of the very historical relics that loosed the chains holding freedom from people like you from being able to achieve your dreams, then it just begin to looks tacky.

But the truth is Mr. President you're not tacky.

You're cheap. Selfish. You bathe in arrogance. And your words sans teleprompter are cruel, cutting, and more times than not confusing.

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt:

That’s Mike Allen’s assessment of a proposed health-care and carbon-tax jam down via the Budget Resolution, an end-run around the Senate’s 60 vote rule, which has previously only been used for tax code changes impacting the budget, not major policy proposals like an overhaul of health care and cap-and-trade.

The best argument against the jam down is in the dismal results of recent past jam throughs.

Last fall the Congress pushed through the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (”CSPIA”) which is causing the needless destruction of billions of dollars of goods and crippling whole industries.

The stimulus bill itself had numerous screw-ups within it, hidden from view and correction because of the speed with which it was advanced.

The AIG bonuses are a result of carelessness and haste on the part of Team Obama.

Imagine what will happen to your health care or the country’s entire economy if the mad dash methodology is adopted for medicine or cap-and-trade.

The Senate should be in full revolt over the stripping away of its institutional role, and the MSM should be mocking the idea that this was ever a president committed to bipartisanship.

“I’ve now been to 57 states on my campaign”

“When a child with asthma goes into the hospital, they need to give him some treatment, a breathalyzer”

“John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith”

“On this Memorial Day we honor our fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience today”

“Penn State right here, Nittaly Lions”

What A F-in joke.

I would describe his words, with or without teleprompter, as cold and lifeless, like the electronic image of Big Brother.

He is not going to be removed from office, unless by natural accident. This whole 'rat circle-jerk is all about his ruling for a long time and ushering in the toxic socialist swamp.

Machiavelli warned that a prince could either be loved or feared, but advised fear, for it was easier to control than love. Once El Cefe’s charm wears thin, his “civilian” force will enforce his will. He learned technique from his father and uncles in Kenyan where they invented Mau-mauing.

We rule you. You work for us.

Obama and Pelosi and Reid beg to differ.

Heck, they're already proving that they rule us and we the people are only following orders.

Just sent this link to a Brit pal so they realize not all American’s approve of this toad.

Please stop insulting toads. They're useful, beneficial animals that eat vermin; The Usurper is vermin.
