Barack Obama greeted the White House Press Corespondents by saying, "My name is Barack Obama. Most of you covered me. All of you voted for me."
I don't know how funny that was, but it certainly had the virtue of being true. The media is so completely biased today, and has turned into such a pro-liberal, pro-Obama propaganda operation, that it is positively unreal.
But it was Wanda Sykes who expressed the unspoken zeitgeist of the mainstream media.
Rush Limbaugh, one of your big critics, boy, Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails. So, you're saying "I hope America fails," it's like, I don't care about people losing their homes, or their jobs, our soldiers in Iraq. He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason. He's not saying anything differently than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You know, you might want to look into this, Sir, because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just so strung out on oxycontin he missed his flight.And you'll notice if you watch the video that Obama clearly laughs at the rabid punchline.
And then Sykes says:
Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how 'bout that? Needs a little waterboarding, that's what he needs.And the President of the United States thinks it's also quite hilarious that one of his fellow citizens' kidneys fail. Because that's just the kind of guy he is, I guess.
And waterboarding is only torture when it is applied to terrorist murderers who want to kill Americans by the millions. It is most definitely NOT torture if its done to conservatives. Obama laughs at the thought of Rush Limbaugh being waterboarded. But the waterboarding of a terrorist responsible for over three thousand American lives is a proof that we have lost our moral bearings.
Let me contrast Obama with a President that actually had some class. Show me footage of George Bush laughing at the idea of a terrible wasting disease befalling, oh, I don't know, Wanda Sykes. The fact of the matter is, we used to have a President who was above that kind of rabid and clearly hateful partisanship.
And its the sheer, total, all-encompassing hypocrisy of the left that will never cease to continue to surprise me.
These same people who were for that war before they were against it, who literally hoped Bush would fail in Iraq and our troops would lose (recall Harry Reid's proclamation of surrender when our troops were still fighting for victory: “I believe that this war is lost“), used to call dissent "the highest form of patriotism" when it suited them.
Dissent has NEVER been "the highest form of patriotism," of course, and liberals had to butcher Thomas Jefferson the same way they butchered the Constitution to obtain that understanding. But Democrats had a "standard" that they clung to when it suited them, only to show their hypocrisy by turning on the same standard they had just held.
Kind of like the war in Iraq itself. Wanda Sykes speaks of conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh somehow betraying our soldiers in Iraq. Let's look at who REALLY undermined and betrayed our soldiers in Iraq.
This is what these cut-and-run-cowards USED to say before they publicly claimed "this war is lost" while our troops were still in the field fighting to win:
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/b/bushlied.htm http://www.freedomagenda.com/iraq/wmd_quotes.html http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.aspThese liberals, who backstabbed, undermined, blocked, obstructed, demonized, and demagogued Bush and his agenda at every single turn - including hoping we failed in time of war - now have a frankly terrifying view of loyalty and patriotism.
If we are against Obama, we are against the country. Because Barack Hussein Obama is our Fuhrer, and in him does the destiny of the new Reich lay. He is our Big Brother, and we owe our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor not to our principles, but to our messiah.
You tell me: was that these hypocrite liberals' view of the Bush presidency during the last eight years?
Obama is NOT America. He is NOT our Big Brother, he is NOT our messiah, and he is most certainly not MY Fuhrer. And I will fight with words, with fists, or even with weapons if anyone tries to take away my right to say otherwise.
Rush Limbaugh has very patiently explained to some incredibly stupid and immoral people that he hopes Obama fails FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. Obama is a hard core socialist who has already spent more money than every single president from George Washington to George W. Bush COMBINED. He is imposing a debt upon us that we and our children can never hope to repay. The average 30 year-old planning to retire at age 70 will have to pay $136,932.75 just for the interest on President Obama’s 2010 budget. And that doesn't include the MUCH greater cost of paying for the overal deficit black hole to which Obama has added $12.8 TRILLION. The interest on the national debt--interest alone--currently amounts to over $800 million a day, and about $300 billion per year. In ten years we will be paying more than $800 billion a year in interest to finance our debt.
And we are already at a position that in order to make payments on the debt, we have to borrow more money. A Washington Post article entitled, "U.S. Debt Set to Soar This Year" points that factoid out:
But about 40 percent of the debt held by private investors will mature in a year or less, according to Treasury officials. When those loans come due, the Treasury will have to borrow more money to repay them, even as it launches perhaps the most aggressive expansion of U.S. debt in modern history.We're broke, but that doesn't stop Barack Obama from trying to nationalize another one-sixth of our economy (health care) at the cost of another $634 billion - just for starters. He wants to nationalize our energy industry. He wants to nationalize the student loan program. He's already nationalized the banks and the auto industry.
Obama's spending will go on and on and on. If all goes well, he will only put us $9.3 trillion in the hole. Even the Congressional Budget Office acknowledges that such reckless spending is totally unsustainable.
And I'm supposed to be akin to Osama bin Laden for hoping that Barack Hussein fails in his task of bankrupting the country? Excuse me?
This was all been predicted before the election by men and women who knew a hell of a lot better than Wanda Sykes.
In a poll of chief executive officers taken prior to the election, 74 percent of the executives said they feared “that an Obama presidency would be disastrous for the country.” And some of the CEOs predicted that “some of his programs would bankrupt the country within three years, if implemented.” And with the Congress in nearly total Democratic control, they ARE being implemented.
Rush Limbaugh explained what he meant in an address that is worth reading. He explained why we should ALL hope Obama fails.
I hope Obama fails - and fails big - and that the people recognize his failure and turn on him before America goes into a hole that it will never be able to claw its way out of.
And in the meantime, I'll wear Democrats' charges of treason as a badge of personal honor. Being called a "traitor" by Democrats bothers me about as much as it would bother me if a child molester (whom Democrats protect as sacred cows, btw) called me "a bad person."
There will be a place for this lady “comic” in the camps, after the revolution. It will not be so funny when she has to do real work like rebuilding the levees from St. Louis to New Orleans with a pick and spade. She will need her humor then! The day will come when the Leader will purge the Media as well.
Now the President is involved in fly overs of NYC which terrorized thousands, laughs and jokes about 911 terrorist attacks...
What has become of the America that I once loved....
Hey Wanda here is a news flash, If anyone is guilty of treason it is Obama.
Hey Wanda, I think the same thing was said back in the 30's: Anything Less Than Blind Devotion To der Fuhrer Is Treason
.
F you, you old dyke.
.
However, I think that the thing what bothers me the most about his presidency, is that the adults aren't in charge anymore. Bush - whatever his faults - would not have subjected the presidency to a series of undignified spectacles like BO.
It cheapens the office.
Worst of all, libs are like the 12-year-old class jester who acts more and more outrageously in studyhall. They think that people (other nations) like them, and are laughing along with them.....but the reality is that they're just getting laughed at.
Yeah, I wonder if the New Yorkers who were terrorized by the Air Force One buzz of Ground Zero thought Obama’s joke was funny.
74 percent for Obama in Queens;
79 percent for Obama in Brooklyn;
88 percent for Obama in the Bronx; and
52 percent for McCain on Staten Island.
NYC got what they wanted. They can shove it!
Strafing of NYC in AF-1 will continue until morale improves.
After all it was a training mission photo-op, said Dr. Gibbles, the WH Spokeswhore.
And they’re going to deserve the next terrorist attack, too.
Obama has so undermined the measures that kept us safe it is unreal.
If that’s what America wants, it should happily embrace the consequences.
It’s interesting, Bush didn’t waterboard anyone for FIVE YEARS. Because he’d gotten what we needed from the key people he captured during the most crucial time right after he were hit. But now Obama has made it so you literally can’t even raise your voice at a terrorist, let alone insult him or do anything to frighten him into cooperating.
I apologize for my above comment.
I shouldn’t have said they will deserve the next terrorist attack.
Rather, they will deserve the next “man-caused disaster” that will ensue as a result of the failure in our “overseas contingency operation.”
We KNOW the terrorist are evil and want to kill us. What we should be able to expect is that our leaders will do everything they can to protect us from such people. And we certainly shouldn’t vote for and lend our support to leaders who literally campaigned on undermining the measures that kept us safe for seven years.
I have said as much on my business website. I am deadly serious about this. I've had some of my customers call and complain to my vendors. None of them has had the guts to call me directly with their liberal whining. Cowardly scum. On the other hand, I've had some people call and do business with me precisely because I'm standing up for what's right.
One of my new customers told me that he called one of my competitors, and she exclaimed that, "You can't do business with him! He's a RACIST!" To which my new customer replied, "No, I think he's an American." Then he hung up on her.
The only thing that will prevent a Civil War in this country is the fact that there are no geographical boundaries to fight over. But right now we are battling for which worldview will reign, and battling for the culture, as at no other time before.
Why is that? Because the current power grab is designed to radically transform the country to such an extent that it sets in motion a trajectory that won’t be changeable.
$13 TRILLION dollars has that kind of power.
You want treason?
The American President claiming there are no terrorist while the terrorist plot to kill Americans.
The American President freeing terrorists for political purposes.
The American President threatening American businesses in order to make them do things contrary to the good of their business and employees
The American President working at Nationalizing the suto industry,the banking industry and destroying the American economy..
But you voted for that treason didn’t you wanda sykes....
Is one of your competitors named Janeane Garofalo, btw?
When anyone calls me a racist on my blog (and no one's ever done it to my face), I always say, "What an incredibly racist thing of you to say!"
Me likey your listee.
Apparently we can add, “Threatening to withhold stimulus money from California for trimming its budget by cutting unionized jobs.”
Bringing mafia rules into the White House to punish anyone who in any way interferes with the radical liberal agenda strikes me as rather treasonous, too.
When are we going to stop taking this crap, and start fighting back? When the Left hits us, we need to start hitting back twice as hard. The gloves need to come off, and we need to be just a vicious as the Left is. If it ends up with a Civil War, so be it! If we keep taking the “high road”, we on the Right are going to end up in re-education camps (or worse). Enough is enough!
We’re on the same page, waterguard.
I wrote an article entitled, “Do unto Obama as liberals did unto Bush”

If they use poison gas on our soldiers and firebomb our cities, then by all means let us start using poison gas on THEIR soldiers and firebombing THEIR cities.
