A Tale of 2 Pictures and Hypocrisy
Various | 2/03/2009 | my favorite headache

Posted on 02/03/2009 8:59:53 PM PST by My Favorite Headache

One picture is a man during a real crisis caught in the middle of a planned event for months at an elementary school. A man who was ridiculed in dozens of films and thousands of articles and millions of internet posts.

The next picture is of a man who makes an un-scheduled appearance at a charter school and is applauded for taking time out to visit with local kids during a self-described "crisis" of the economy, jobs, and tax evading liberals not passing the test. Because he was "tired of being in the White House", I give you Day 15.

What will he do when a real crisis happens? Not ready...never will be. It's amateur hour at the White House.

PATHETIC!

“God help us when we get hit again.”

Well maybe. But how about if we ‘help’ ourselves in the event we get hit again. There’s a lot of weaponry among our populace.

Biden warned that Obama would face a big test during his first six months. I guess reading to school kids counts.

Or maybe, like Clinton, he’s pining to be interrupted by a tragedy big enough to get him some recognition.

Thanks for this post MFH. When I read about the Obama’s escaping from their stressful morning by travelling to the Charter School, I couldn’t help but think about President G.W. Bush at a different school on Sept. 11, 2001, and how although shocked as he was managed to remain calm and not panic the children present. IIRC he told them he had to leave unexpectedly to take care of some problems, but when he could he’d return another day...something to that effect.

I also remember thinking this morning about the example this sets for our brave Military, this guy, their new C.I.C. runs away from stress.

I like that first pic a lot more... maybe it has to do with the subject material.

I would forever be in debt to anyone that can direct me to the quote John Kerry made about (completely paraphrasing): "I was in the basement of the capitol with _____ and I didn't know what to do. We were in shock. Time just passed by and then we were told the Pentagon had been hit."

I tried to find it tonight to counter a typical liberal using the "Bush was like a deer in headlights and all he could do was read 'My Pet Goat'"

Kerry's spokesperson, Stephanie Cutter, had made a jab in 2004 saying: "John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read 'My Pet Goat' to a group of second graders while America is under attack."

Anybody?

Aw the poor thing. Don’t you people know that he’s being pressed to prove that he’s a native born American? Don’t you know that he’s being accused of helping ACORN and other anti-American outfits? Of COURSE he’s under stress. And he’s had to throw three more people under the bus? It might even get so bad that he’ll go visit his natural friends in Russia and STAY THERE. SOB!

(You can take the SOB any way you want.)

“Biden warned that Obama would face a big test during his first six months.”

Biden was in on the “fix” (scam) for months. That is why he was drunk the day he said that. He knew already how it was going go get so far out of control.

There are no adults in that room—and that’s the difference between the two pictures.

Looks like ADD. He can't concentrate on business at hand. 0bama's probably being overwhelmed by his advisors, so he slinked off to a situation where he had adoration and control.

This country is in for a world of hurt. Not just a long 4 years; a whole lot of pain.

Oh thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! I am now armed and ready for the next “My Pet Goat” showdown. Thanks again.

Yup-talk about training wheels. The guys is simply a figurehead otherwise he wouldn't be surrounded by so many Clinton retreads. I don't care what anyone says - the Clintons are still in control on a variety of levels due to the entrenchment of eight years of hiring and firing.
