The end of Obamania
Los Angeles Times ^ | July 12, 2009 | Doyle McManus

Barack Obama has fallen back to Earth.

When he ran for president, Obama said his election would be "the moment the rise of the oceans began to slow." And when he made his first big foreign trip in April, he was hailed by adoring crowds -- and almost-as-adoring politicians -- in Britain, Germany, France and the Czech Republic.

But last week, in Russia and Italy, Obamania was little more than a pleasant memory. Yes, his international polling numbers are still high, but the president encountered hardly any adulation in the streets of Moscow or anywhere else. Instead, Russian strongman Vladimir Putin reportedly gave him a tongue-lashing over a two-hour breakfast, and the tent-bound refugees from Italy's April earthquake mostly wanted to know whether he could rebuild their homes. ("Yes, we camp," their banner said, pointedly.)

LOL!

When I was in Greece back in the 1970s, I saw in a shop window a photograph of the Athens Acropolis with a greedy looking Jackie-O surveying it from the skies. The caption (in English) was: "Some day all this will be MINE."

When you think about how many utter morons there are out there, you marvel that the world's not in worse shape than it is.

This is overwhelming evidence of the intervention in the world by a benevolent Deity. I just wish He would wump up the intelligence level of the nitwits.

Now is the time where he wags the dog and starts witch hunts to move the public attention from his open destruction of America. Pelosi Threats, Bush Trials, Algore on Global Governance. Yep it’s all window dressing for his Hugo Chavez style take over move.
Saul Alynski would be so proud.

Very, very subtle imagery there in that picture. If you look closely at the eyes only you will get a sense of another time - circa 1865.....Sunken eyes, sallow face jaw and skin loose neck.... hmmmmmm...wonder who the artist was looking at when sketching this out?

If there's anything people like seeing more than a hero rise, it's seeing a hero fall...

Heh. I'd be interested in hearing how those companies are doing that stocked up on all that 'historic' commemorative Inauguration crap.

Putz.

A term used very appropriately several years ago with the word “Senator” to very accurately describe Upchucky Schmucky Schumer. Schumer fits the description in every sense of the word!

And so does Zerobama!

I saw an ad for Big Lots featuring his commemorative plates for a couple of bucks.

The JFK plate: A staple at yard sales in these parts, particularly when an older person has died and the house is getting cleaned out.

I’ve seen a few that have JFK, RFK and Fat Ted together, like some Holy Trinity - makes you altogether lose your appetite.

Wouldn’t take any of them, even if they were free.

Amen! Thank you for writing it.
