BLANKLEY: Obama is who he is Height of hubris
The Washington Times ^ | August 6, 2008 | Tony Blankley

Posted on 08/05/2008 5:51:45 PM PDT by mdittmar

It's getting tricky to know how to refer to he who presumes to be the next president. It was made clear several months ago that mentioning his middle name was a forbidden act. (Pass out more egg shells.) Then, last week "he" warned his followers that, having nothing honorable to say, Sen. John McCain would try to scare voters by pointing to Barack Obama's "funny name" and the fact that "he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills."

Now, putting aside for the moment the racial component of his warning, what are we to make of the "funny name" reference? Many people have "funny" names. Some people think my last name - being very close in spelling to the adverbial form for the absence of content - is funny. Certainly Gov. Mike Huckabee's name is funny. Many on the left have had great fun with President Bush's last name. But we have all found our names perfectly serviceable and would expect people to call us by the names by which we identify ourselves.

Obama is desperately trying to find a reason for people to stick with him, to ignore the truth of who he is, the people he has associated with for decades, and the positions he has taken.

But the stink that is on Obama from these things will not wash off, and certainly, save for his moonstruck, idolater follwers (who are the only ones such an appeal as this will have a real impact on), will not be able to be ignored by such sophmoric excuses and reasoning.

We have a $100,000 bill? Not that I would ever touch anything like that. Who would break that for me?

“2 Big Macs, Extra large order of fries and Diet Coke. Hey, can you change a $100,000 for me?”

I did not know that. It would be helpful, though, if they would start circulating the Ginos ($1,000s).

They played a clip this evening showing Obama talking about himself being so “different” and he says this: “my name is Barack Obama” “I was born in Hawaii” (lots of people are born there) blah blah like we’re all supposedly to go wow he’s so unusual. I work with a guy whose last name has six letters and is pronounced “win”. That’s a funny name.

Now if his name (middle) was insane, now that would be funny, but his name is Hussein and that is unfunny!

I too seldom quote Scripture but this is the time:

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."

Q. “What was the largest currency denomination ever produced?

A. The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. The notes were used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public.” ...

What denominations of currency notes is the Treasury Department no longer printing?

On July 14, 1969, David M. Kennedy, the 60th Secretary of the Treasury, and officials at the Federal Reserve Board announced that they would immediately stop distributing currency in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. Production of these denominations stopped during World War II. Their main purpose was for bank transfer payments. With the arrival of more secure transfer technologies, however, they were no longer needed for that purpose. While these notes are legal tender and may still be found in circulation today, the Federal Reserve Banks remove them from circulation and destroy them as they are received.

No...say it isn't so you racist. Why...you're the first one who has ever, in my 52 years, made any issue of my name. [/sarcasm]

All other jokes aside, throughout my life, irrespective of what others view as my position, I am always ahead.

Actually, African-Americans probably love his “uppity” act.

We’re at war with Muslim fanatics, and we’re electing someone named Barack Hussein Obama, President. This country sure is humorous.
