Climax...now you’re talking.
Sonny Geraci...Cleveland’s finest!

I Miss Barack Obama

I would much rather to have never had heard of him.

[nascarnation]

We need to deport him to Kenya

[tbpiper]

He and his wife have not only displayed superior integrity themselves...

The man must have brain damage.

[Colinsky]

I read the headline and thought it was gonna be about bammy coming out as a tranny.

Your brain inserted an invisible comma:

"I, Miss Barack Obama."

[griswold3]

From the first day he met the loyal opposition Jan 2009, when he said to them ‘I won’. That set the tone.
The Collectivist Agenda he espoused during his campaign needed to be stopped. Many wished he would fail, but he has succeeded to convince the dumb masses that they could vote themselves largess from the treasury.
There’s not been any opportunity to put his thumb in the eye of the opposition. Example, he blames a bad perception of the economy on the ‘doom and despair Republicans’.

I got sicker and angrier with every sentence in Brooks’s piece.

But if you folks can take some rock salt in the sore, read the wordy, syrupy comments. With that kind of encouragement, he’ll probably come up soon with an even browner nose.

This piece is going to be quoted all over the left’s world.

Be careful of painting New Yorkers with a broad brush.   A candidate just made that mistake: he won the Iowa battle, but the insult may have cost him the war.

Here's a 1964 picture of senior cadets at New York Military Academy.   The guy in the middle you may recognize.

[Mastador1]

Actually, I believe my brain just sees the real bammetta.

[kabar]

Far worse he has used executive orders to circumvent Congress and the Constitution. The sad part is the Rep controlled Congress has not done anything to stop him. The GOP has controlled the House since 2011 and really not used the power of the purse.

There are a number of executive actions that should have triggered impeachment proceedings, e.g., the 2012 Dreamer amnesty.

[Fundamentally Fair]

The guy in the middle you may recognize.

Yawn.

[Yaelle]

I don’t recognize him. Is it Trump?

[gusty]

I wonder what Brooks gets paid for being the house “conservative” gimp for the Left.

Be careful of painting New Yorkers with a broad brush.

Yea, yea, yea, I've heard it before about New Yorkers: From the 2012 presidential election results

1. Bronx 91.45% 0bama
2. Manhattan 83.75% 0bama
3. Brooklyn 82.02% 0bama
4. Queens 79.80% 0bama
5. Staten Island 51% 0bama

There are your New York values for all to see. In his second run for office when everyone knew what a dangerous, incompetent, radica,l leftist, white hating, American hating, arrogant, lying, narcissistic, fool the turd in the white hut is, New Yorkers showing their New York values voted overwhelmingly for him - again. I'd say a broad brush is exactly justified.

[poconopundit]

Yes, it’s Trump.

[poconopundit]

The data you cite is shocking to be sure.   And I think there are a lot of cities where you would see similar stats.   Wonder what the numbers would be for Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco?

And how many conservatives didn't bother to vote in NY knowing that their vote wouldn't matter?   63% of New York state voters chose 0bama in 2012.

I live in Penn., and some precincts in Philadelphia tallied zero votes for Romney out of thousands of people.

Now some say Trump actually could win New York in a general election.   Who knows?   I don't think it's outside the realm of possibilities, especially if conservatives are motivated to turn out.

Call it what you want: New York Values, Nashua City Values, South Carolina values: trashing a State or city is not a winning strategy, IMHO.

[Obama] and his wife have not only displayed superior integrity themselves, they have mostly attracted and hired people with high personal standards.

Pretty hard to read any further.

[hattend]

Imagine if Barack and Michelle Obama joined the board of a charity you're involved in.

You'll be broke in a year. Everything Obama touches turns to Shiite.

[Yaelle]

Thanks. Awesome pic. There sure isn’t one like that of Obama.
