Chicago Way Extension runs right through DC
Chicago Tribune ^ | 3/22/09 | John Kass

President Barack Obama must not have had his Hopium before appearing on "The Tonight Show" last week, because he really screwed up.

No, not the screw-up in which he abandoned his trusty teleprompter to ad-lib a joke about how he's such a lousy bowler, just like someone in the Special Olympics.

If Obama were a Republican, he'd be toast, since Republicans have been cast as unfeeling monsters in the two-dimensional cartoon that is American politics on TV. But Obama is a Democrat, beloved by the glassy-eyed media as a symbol of hope and change, even if guys from Chicago's City Hall run his administration. So the gaffe will soon wash over him.

Good commentary, and the debate thread is funny too.

It'll probably take about eight years for their heads to clear.

For the country's sake, let's hope it is four instead of eight years.

“For the country’s sake, let’s hope it is four instead of eight years.”

Amen to that.

Right - I’m just sure the Dem-led House will draft those articles and the Dem-led Senate will vote to impeach him.

Everything by Kass rocks. I think he deserves headline status here like Steyn gets i.e.:

I was impressed with his writing, and the way he sums things up quickly, as effective writers do. He draws the usual insults from the Obots afterward.

I figure he has survived in Chicago this long, and he doesn’t like Daley. Maybe he can avoid King O’s long knives.

Right. I’ve seen him on Fox and he has real potential as a regular. Hope to see more of him and certainly to keep reading his excellent stuff.

We built a big fire against Clinton in 1994 and that type of fire is already about a year ahead of schedule with this guy.

Problem was we nominated that goober,Dole in 1996 after the media showed us doctored surveys showing he was the only one who could supposedly win. Great campaign John, I mean Bob.

We need somebody to replace nitwits like George Will and all these Rino goofballs named David.

John Kass is much earthier, grittier, and more direct than anyone out there. He writes from the heat of the fray. Smoking! The pretend pubbies named David are no doubt watching their rear view mirrors.

The only hope lies in the SCOTUS and that is dimming fast. Especially if the Big "O" gets to appoint another justice.

Let’s get a Conservative Congress elected in 2010, then we can Impeach the Socialist.

So, you really believe that Pelosi and Reid will move impeachment orders? Do you believe that the House Judiciary Chair (John Conyers) will initiate the process? If so, you have much more faith and optimism for lib/dems than I do.

The only faith and optimism I have is that sooner or later Obama will use all the rope he has to hang himself, even with democrats.

Bythat I mean that he is a nationalist socialist, a fascist. And sooner or later he will move to purge his party, like all dictators have done throughout history. Then we will see.
