The Spoiled Brat-in-Chief (And His Media Creators) [Thank You, McCain/RINOs]
North Star Writers Group ^ | 2009-01-28 | David Karki

He's only been in office for three days, and President Obama is already behaving like Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. About all that's left is for him to sing “Don't Care How, I Want It Now” and then plummet down the bad egg chute to the furnace.

He apparently thinks that both Republicans and the media should both unquestioningly bend over and kiss his behind, unaware that the latter already has been doing so for over two years.

As the cameraman in the first quote shows, a good many of the mainstream media still have their lips permanently locked on Obama's posterior. And in so doing, they have created an overindulged spoiled brat who, it would seem, has started believing his own hype.

. . . . .

As for the second item, since when was there any difference between Obama and John McCain? That the RINO from Arizona chanced into the GOP nomination thanks to New Hampshire liberals crossover voting in an open primary and the media seizing on that plurality win to shove him down our throat in no way means that voters had a real choice between tax cuts and redistributive checks. Sen. McCain's shilling for Obama now that he's in office is more proof that the election was largely a sham.

The Republican reaction to this sort of thing – and surely there is much more of it to come – will tell us whether they have anything left inside that might resurrect a party on life support.

Will they find their long-lost spine, guts and testicles? Will they firmly and maturely oppose this massive bailout from government that will dwarf what Detroit or Wall Street received? And, in so doing, provide a contrast between responsible, adult leadership and infantile petulance? Or will they meekly join the left in its lemming-like rush off the cliff?

It's ironic – the GOP has the same problem fighting the Democrats as the Democrats do fighting radical Muslim terrorists: They can't get it through their thick skulls that when you insist on playing by the rules against an opponent that purposely ignores the rules, you are almost certain to lose.

While the arena is different, the principle is the same: You have to treat this as a war, not as a polite difference of opinion. If the GOP isn't as determined to substantively defeat the Democrats as the Democrats are to defeat them, it's all academic. Just as Miranda warnings and the Exclusionary Rule mean nothing to psychos who fly planes full of people into buildings full of people.

And in both cases, our nation as we have known it hangs in the balance.

Like I have previously said in several posts since changing freeper names, March of 2006 under “jrooney”. You have already been told this.

Someone made the call on me... but I made no threats to, for or about anyone. I posted on my “about” page when it happened, ‘cause I believe it could only have been someone from FR, as the call went into LA and not the local FBI office. Utahson used to be jrooney a while back and has ALWAYS been one a them big-gummint “conservatives,” better suited to being a democrat or some such. Of course I never realized that he was keeping such close tabs on me... Do I have a secret dossier somewhere that I need to be aware of?

No. I just have an excellent memory for the strange, weird and unbelievable.

Nimrod, the CWA was what got the newtster and the Pubbies control of Congress in ‘94. By mid/late ‘95 they had pretty well dropped the CWA after only a couple of notable victories (budget and welfare reform), when they could have gone a LONG way to reducing government and restoring the Constitution, which had been their theme. Conservative principles, when enunciated clearly AND LIVED UP TO, tend to be big winners at the Polls, in case no one ever told you. The Pubbies, with under ten notable exceptions, have a serious problem with the latter half of that, the LIVING UP TO part. Which is why they have lost so much ground that we will have a VERY hard time making up.

And, needless to say, Juan McLame was NOT the one to help reduce government one iota. And, had he won, the Pubbies in Congress would have had a real hard time NOT supporting their Prez. Maybe now they can develop a spine, though I doubt it.

As I note previously, you obviously don’t even know what the tenets of the Contract With America entailed.

Now, let me add, you’re an embarrassment.

I didn't (de facto) vote for Barack Obama and I didn't vote for John McCain. Live with it, Cedric.

Thanks, Bokababe!

Rather than sniping at 3rd party voters, Cedric, why didn't you make a compelling argument as to why we should have voted for your guy?

Look, if the country is being driven over a cliff, it's better that the Dems are at the wheel. Ol' Johnny boy would have advanced much of the same crapola, except the Pubbies would not have been able to find the balls needed to oppose him. Plus, he (and Sarah by association) would have greatly damaged the term "conservative", whatever that means.

Have a good day.

Wow. Only three reasons, and terribly shoddy ones at that.

Now, here's the tip of the iceberg on the list as to why it's a good thing that McCain was defeated by Obama:

McCain-Feingold
McCain-Lieberman
McCain-Kennedy
Kosovo, i.e., McCain's connection to the KLA
100 years in Iraq
McCain's vote on the bailout
...and the list goes on...

McCain is an interventionist and a globalist, both domestically and internationally. And, as such, given his record of collaboration with the leftist Democrats, he is only marginally better than they are, but that margin is so insignificant as to be negligible.

Dear Mr. Current Events,

You forgot the Smoot-Hawley Tariff and the Treaty Of Guadalupe-Hidalgo.
