This I fail to see. This experiment with electing an African-African as president filed before it got to the swearing in.
I must agree that putting a whispering wimp up as the Republicrat candidate was a hugh body blow to our nation. Sarah Palin was the only bright spot on that disgraceful ticket.
filed=flawed
So, am I missing something here? The Democrats overreached but Obama will still be signing a stimulus bill? How are we to rejoice about that? This entire article makes no sense.
We now have a spoiled brat 10 year old black child for a president. He is not my president though and never will be. Every time I see him I think of that US hating preacher of his and William Ayers.
To watch this empty-suited pinko smirk at people who are behind the podium and in front of the cameras where he wants to be, is just beyond aggravating.
The democrats had a golden opportunity to lead, to put country first during a crisis. Instead they put party first as usual and produced this crap sandwich porkulus plan. The porkulus won’t revive the economy. The democrat’s will own this failure.
Love the title. The rest of it seems to be one contradiction after another.
And Goldberg is writing from the perspective of someone who has read a lot about the stimulus package, not that of the average American, so his conclusions and assessments regarding Obama and the Dims are not representative of the general population.
Obama being black has nothing to do with it. But, I’m thinking of posting a poll:
Which is (or will prove to be) the bigger disaster?
a) Obama’s Presidency
b) Asteroid killing off the dinosaurs
c) Too close to call
Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell,Walter Williams, George Washington Carver, etc. etc.
However, none of these gentlemen were born in Kenya. None of these gentlemen were educated in a muslim school in Indonesia.
All of them had a father and a mother who were married. When Obomba's white-trash, marxist mother 'married' his 'father' he already had two or more wives waiting in Kenya.
Learning at the knee of a communist pedophile while drinking whiskey out of a Mason jar as an adolescent has everything to do with his philosophy and speaks volumes about parenting.
As far as the African-African label is concerned he is hardly an American.
I am a Danish-American, but don't insist on the label. That goes for my Italian-American, German-American and Polish-American friends.
They couldn’t lead a parade, unless it was devoted to gay deviancy.
This article depresses me. What it says to me is, Americans have changed their mind about what Obama and the Rats have in store for them, but it is too late. There is not a dang thing they can do to stop it. As if that isn’t bad enough, the Democrats have laid the groundwork to run as budget slashers in future elections, while actually ushering in the biggest era of Gov’t expansion ever, with an increase to federal deficit by $1 trillion in one fatal blow. Meanwhile, Americans shrug because they are to busy to be bothered with this. It makes their heads hurt and Oprah, Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric, and the View say it is all good.
This is going to be a long day...
My greatest thrill would be to see someone paste him in the mouth and wipe that smirk off his face.
I think he thinks its a hate-love thing. I tend to agree.
Jonah should have thought this through before penning it. He seems to have a war going on in his head. LOL
I, too, am wary of calling the end of the show before it’s begun. A few stumbles does not failure make. I like Jonah Goldberg a lot but I think he’s overreaching here = exactly the same mistake he’s accusing 0bama et al of doing.
GREAT TITLE !!
good job Jonah
The nation can be taken back, but it will take a long time to undo the myriad of evil that this inept, America-hating gaggle of misfits have produced.
Those RINO Republicrats who have 'reached across the aisle' need to be tossed into the Potomac along with their socialist-communist pals they abetted.
(To us) it’s not about him being “black” (or half thereof), but about him being RED.
I’ve read Goldberg before. He’s not always right IMO, but he’s readable. This time it appears he had too little sleep or too much coffee before hitting the keyboard.
He essentially says that though Obama will be signing a stimulus, his “moment” is over. Who cares about “moments”? Then, be balance of the article never defines these statements. Poor writing, that leaves the reader confused.
As for depression, this is what we knew we’d be hit with after November 4th. The silver lining in all this is that Obama’s holiday with the American public may well be heading South much sooner than expected. Perhaps not with the media but with the public. And that’s a good thing. There’s nothing here to be depressed about (beyond what we’ve already known). It’s been expected. What we have to do now is let everyone know, not only Congress, exactly what’s in store for us because of America’s love affair with electing our first Black President.
0bama will be the next Lincoln,
you know,
the guy that caused a Civil War.
