As the Nation’s Pulse Races, Obama Can’t Seem to Find His (Maureen Dowd Disses Obama Big Time!)
New York Times ^ | 12/30/2009 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 12/30/2009 4:08:06 PM PST by Sneakyuser

...“I hope the terrorists don’t think this is a good time to attack,” I said, looking protectively at the White House, which always looks smaller and more vulnerable and beautiful than you expect, no matter how often you see it up close. I thought our guard might be down because of the holiday; now I realize our guard is down every day.

...Before he left for vacation, Obama tried to shed his Spock mien and juice up the empathy quotient on jobs. But in his usual inspiring/listless cycle, he once more appeared chilly in his response to the chilling episode on Flight 253, issuing bulletins through his press secretary and hitting the links. At least you have to seem concerned.

...In his detached way, Spock was letting us know that our besieged starship was not speeding into a safer new future, and that we still have to be scared.

Heck of a job, Barry.

Vice President Joe Biden prophesied President Obama would be tested.

Libs travel too. They’d be stupid to cover him where national security is concerned. After that incident in Times Square today there was a general feeling of dread around my office. A feeling we haven’t had since the early months in the aftermath of 9/11. I genuinely do not feel safe after the flight incident. I will think twice about flying and I am very nervous about riding NJ transit and the subway. He’s taken us back to 9/10.

Remember Maureen, it was never in Spock’s genetic oode to be Captain. He knew it and the crew knew it.

Spock sucked at being Captain. Just like the Bamster.

Small detail that the left forgets.

Americans want a president who cares passionately about the American people. Liberals are shocked, shocked to discover that Reverent Wright’s spiritual student just doesn’t care about any Americans, even liberals.

Can’t Seem to Find His what Maureen? Heart? Guts? or (as I suspect) Stones?

... reactive, patting down grannies and 5-year-olds, confiscating snow globes and lip glosses...security is so retro that taking away pillows and blankies and bathroom breaks counts as a great leap forward.

Ouch! The problem with Maureen is not when you lose her, but when she finds you.

One of these days one of those vans will have a nuclear warhead in it. No need for high tech missiles, just drive a nuclear bomb into Times Square. You know Ahmadineedjad is planning that.

bammy may have the personality of a rock (or a tree like gore), but he’s certainly no match for Spock’s logic. I’m sure Spock knew his US history and that there were only 50 US states, for instance..
