Obama Hasn't Earned A Place At Berlin Gate

Obama is a three-year senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted "present" nearly 130 times.

As president of the Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever produced a single notable piece of scholarship? Written a single memorable article? His most memorable work is a biography of his favorite subject: himself.

It is a subject upon which he can dilate effortlessly. In his victory speech upon winning the nomination, Obama declared it a great turning point in history — "generations from now we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment" — when, among other wonders, "the rise of the oceans began to slow."

As economist Irwin Stelzer noted in his London Daily Telegraph column, "Moses made the waters recede, but he had help." Obama apparently works alone.

Obama has written two books on his fovorite subject....himself.

>>> Never before in history have so many cared so much for such a complete unknown.

>> I'm sure it has happened before in history, but nobody ever survived to report it.

> There may have been survivors, but they were too embarrassed to write about what happened.

True. Too true.

Obama hasn't earned anything.

About the only job I see Obama actually being qualified for is daytime talkshow host.

Well he’d probably be OK as a WalMart greeter.

His wife assures us that President Obama will be a stern taskmaster: "Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism . . . that you come out of your isolation. . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

Is this for real?! Are the Americans so stuck on stupid, that they are willing to elect this...?

"143 days of absolutely nothing."

I was disappointed that Krauthammer gave Obama credit for 3 years in the Senate. He was in the senate for just a couple of months before he decided to run for POTUS. Obama is a sick joke of a candidate. Bob Casey Jr. has more experience and actually shows up for work. But if Casey were running for the dem nomination, he'd have gotten about 1%.

Krauthammer just wrote Obama’s speech opener at the Brandenburg Gate:

“Ich bin ein Beginner!!”

(1) Yes, it's real.
(2) We'll see...

Absolutely perfect editorial!

A million Obamas still wouldn't be worth one Krauthammer. Him, Steyn, VDH, and Jonah Golderg are the four best in the business.

Step right up folks. This here bottle of concentrated Obama will tame the climate, heal the sick, make the blind see, feed the hungry, end world poverty, make every child a wanted child, bring peace to the middle east, lower the price of gas, save the polar bear, save the whales, save your soul, turn paper into gold, cure baldness, make all womens' breasts perky, cure frigidity and impotence, and stop gum from sticking to your shoes. Yessir, Obama is magical, Obama is The Miracle Elixir.^a

^a Contains Genuine Horse Piss.

Good one!

To update an old comment about Clement Attlee.. An empty limousine pulled up and Barack Obama got out. He made an eloquent speech about nothing.

[GoldwaterChick]

Terrific article!

Charlie nails these guys every time! He very cool-ly (?)analyzes people; his perception is amazing. His comments are always priceless and right on the money.

Obumma is such an empty suit I don’t even think he sees his reflection when he looks in the mirrow.

[GoldwaterChick]

I’m sitting here laughing myself silly over your post. I’m sure my husband thinks I’ve lost my mind. (Again) :)

you sure have a way with words, my friend.

[stockstrader]

What do you mean he doesn't belong there?

Our President B. (whose middle name, according to McCain, must NEVER be spoken) Obama will take on ANY PRESIDENT, PRIME MINISTER, OR DICTATOR--ANYWHERE, ANYTIME when it comes to one-on-one on a basketball court!!! /s

[RDTF]

Krauthammer hits the nail again!

[yldstrk]

Obama is a sick puppy.

Great work by Dr. K.

Cast of 300 Advises Obama on Foreign Policy

Here's an excerpt (brace yourselves):

"Unlike George W. Bush, who entered the presidential race in 2000 with scant exposure to national security issues, Mr. Obama has served since his election to the Senate in 2004 on the Foreign Relations Committee and has had a running tutorial from aides steeped in the issues. His campaign says that he is well prepared and that he often alters and expands on the talking points provided to him by his foreign policy advisers."
