Simply gorgeous...and terrifyingly accurate if the Carter/Soetoro morph continued on to Stalin, then Satan...
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

"This is the worst," a Democratic friend exclaimed over the phone on Tuesday, the first day back at work after the Memorial Day weekend. I knew without asking what he meant -- the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico that dominated television coverage and was into its second month with no quick solution in sight. * They haven't built a popular new television program around it -- yet. No one has created a new media franchise for himself out of it. There isn't a name for it that has become part of popular culture.
I was thinking back to when another Democratic president, Jimmy Carter, found himself stymied in another seemingly endless ordeal. Iranian militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 officials and workers hostage for 444 days, while the United States was helpless to free them.
Many of us recall the event by the name that became attached to it: "America Held Hostage." That was the title ABC News slapped on its half-hour news update that aired each night, with Ted Koppel as anchor. The show later became the long-running program "Nightline."
This is when you know you are truly harpooned, when your problem has become someone else's meal ticket.
As sinister as the jet stream of escaping oil and gas looks via the underwater camera in the gulf, Barack Obama has not yet moved into the category of the late-night patsy that Jimmy Carter became. The Iranians were more clever, or diabolical, in exploiting their hostages than the restrained BP executives or their enviro foes are in this situation. ad_icon
Obama keeps popping up in new settings, sounding as if he is in command, and he has refused to be confined to the White House as Carter was by the hostage crisis.

“The fact that the WAPO is now openly making comparisons to Carter is not insignificant.”
...exactly!....Broder has been a WAPO mainstay for decades...he’s seen tons of lib Dems come and go...I would have thought he would have been the first to deny any mention of Carter in the same breath as Obama.
Be sure you put an "O" in front of that Bama!
This is in the Washington Compost! If the NY Slimes turns on him he’s definitely toast!
“Obama keeps popping up in new settings, sounding as if he is in command, and he has refused to be confined to the White House as Carter was by the hostage crisis.”
Oh, and that is what a good leader of men is made of!
They are continuing to fondle Barry in hopes that HE will rise.
Great catch. Imagine cutting it into a number of five or ten second clips and intespersing them with pictures of the oil spill, dying, oiled pelicans, combat in Afganistan, and illegal aliens crossing the border. Also throw in some pics of really, obscenely opulent and ostentatious WH dinners, like the one for Calderone. Then put the whole thing together in a really great, accurate negative ad about the Illegal.
ABSOLUTELY!!! His being on a perpetual, utterly stoned bender would be tghe best thing he could do for this country.
When I think of all the people who said that we could not possibly do worse than Bush it almost seems that God has a macabre sense of humor.
“He is fulfilling some ugly stereotypes with his lavish lifestyle I have not heard mentioned in decades.”

I wonder how many are puking as they realize what a mistake it was to claim this (at minimum) fifty percent Caucasian as the,”First Black President”. I suspect quite a few have realized that “cool” is not what we need in the white house.
Obamaman continues his Destruction of the USA...Time for the Young and Able to emigrate...
Zero diddles while Rahm yearns.
Obama’s Carter moment came months ago. He’s being exposed as a Socialist disaster bred and raised by thugs. With God’s help, he will drag all the scum, just like him, down in November.
Now that's great!

I had not heard it prior to posting it. I would certainly defer credit to whomever originated it. It is increasingly more difficult to generate an original thought.
You sir, are a thing of beauty.
No problem. I was kind of just razzing you anyway. I first saw the phrase some days back on a thread here. Some folks commented on how creative it was, at the time.
“Obama keeps popping up in new settings, sounding as if he is in command, and he has refused to be confined to the White House as Carter was by the hostage crisis.”
Yeah, new settings, like the golf course, a basketball court, a party with McCartney, fundraisers for Democrats ... he’s just really IN COMMAND!
I guess Freeper minds think alike.
And to top it off, 'Satan' is an anagram of 'Santa'.
Cheers!
