Veni, vidi, defectio
‘Nuff said.
My tagline says it all.
How many deserved the flood?
All of us.
Translation please? Sorry, I never studied Latin.
I came. I saw. I defecated.
“We Came, We Saw, We Failed”.
Thank you, Scott. Just so you know, I did do some searching, but was not successful in finding a translation.
Now, that is too funny!
Veni Vidi Veci....is a famous Latin sentence reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 BC as a comment on his short war with Pharnaces. Some translations of it are “I came, I saw, I conquered”, as these words are by most translations considered “first person” forms of the words “venio, video,and vinco”. So, what I wrote probably should translate to “I came, I saw, I failed”. However, translation to “we” instead of “I” is considered correct because Caesar may have been referring to his army, and not himself. So, much like the movie “Ghost Busters” who stated, “We came, we saw, we kicked some ass”, I borrowed Caesar’s tagline, changed to reflect failure, and will use it until Obama is out of office.
I should have also stated that “defectio” is the basis for the english word “defect”. In Latin, “defectio” means to “flee from”, “deviate from”, or “not accomplish”. Common english translations are defective, defect (as in “I am defecting from Cuba”), and failure.
“Never let the facts get in the way of dogma and glorious theory.”
Progressive supporters of cap and trade, single payer health care and “living” wages certainly don’t. I think that’s what irritates them the most about Obama. It’s not just that he’s failed to keep his promises, but that his ineptitude is SO blatant, it cannot be denied except by the very fiercest reality deniers. And they NEVER like to hear “I told you so.”

He's played more golf since becoming POTUS than before.
It's a very good descriptor for Obama. He is certainly defective and deviant. He's also fled from his true responsibilities as CIC, while accomplishing nothing of real worth or survival potential for the nation.
I like it.
Many of those reality deniers have no real awareness of current events (reality). Zero's staunchest supporters are either willfully ignorant of current events, don't have the mental acuity to process what goes on in the world, or are in full agreement with the evil being perpetrated by the Marxist cabal in Washington.
There's also that class of "progressives" who have been so thoroughly indoctrinated that they supplant dogmatic theory for observed reality. They are some of the worst (and most dangerous), in my opinion.
Condi would have known what to do.
Just saying.
I think that's true. Unfortunately, she didn't want the job.
I wonder if she ever reads the news and feels a twinge of guilt for not stepping up to the challenge when the winds were at her back? I wonder if she ever watches the destruction that Zero is wreaking on our beloved country and feels remorse that she didn't stand when her moment came?
Our side would have backed her to the hilt, if she'd chosen to run.
I don't know that she would have been a "great" president, but in my view, she certainly would have at least been a pro-American president along the lines of GWB.
O is a putz.
O is a putz.
It’s no wonder Dick Cheney ended up in the hospital this past weekend. He’s got to be exhausted from ruining Bambi’s presidency. /s
