Gosh, what a pathetic doofus. Literally ridiculous - i.e. worthy of ridicule.

Doesn't this guy look in the mirror? If not, you would think someone around him (Michelle, an advisor, ANYONE) would tell him not to go out looking like a complete jackass.

A serious conversation would require a more serious grip of the phone. You can't fake body language. Great job, Kristinn.

I suspect that what Obama wanted was to be the King, not the President. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchoress/2009/12/29/obama-and-doing-vs-being/

...” i.e. worthy of ridicule.”

Sorry, wrong answer.

Please refer to the dictionary and spend some time looking up the term RACIST before considering any ridicule of the greatest POTUS ever!

It's a new year, and I have sworn to only say nice things about Barack Hussein Obama. I must now clean the vomit from my keyboard. How did that get here?

"He thought that it would be enough to delegate and make gestures about getting along with everybody, including our enemies. He is ill-equipped to understand the enemy and our problems in general."

I think you're absolutely right. I truthfully think he thought all these problems would just go away because "he", "the ones we've been waiting for" was elected.

That the problems haven't gone away and since he has no idea how to make them go away is completely baffling him, and I can clearly imagine him thinking "I'm on vacation and I shouldn't have to be bothered with this"...

Are you suggesting Napolitano has been demoted to rug-sweeper?

Did Bush ever go on a vacation? IIR They usually spent their “off time” at camp David, the house in Maine or the ranch in Texas....Same with Poppa Bush. Reagan went to his ranch in CA.

The Clinton’s went to the Islands (But I always figured that was just to do their banking) and the also spent a bit of time in Mass. at friends home...They didn’t have a “real home” to go to. BUT Obamas own a home in Chicago.....Have they ever gone home to CHicago since he was elected?

The question I have is "why"?

Axelrod isn't stupid. He knows this is hurting Obama. So why does he let it continue? Why wasn't the usual PR campaign used? Not as if they haven't had one for years.

articulate: not. needs a teleprompter to even sound not dumb

bright: probably 115 or so IQ. not spectacularly intelligent

clean: his wife (moogoo) says he is “stinky”

nice-looking: he looks weird with blue lips and large ears and feminine mannerisms

Biden: LOL

“What is on the White House Web site’s front page for the third day in a row is the White House ‘photo of the day’ that features an empty Oval Office save for a cleaning woman running a vacuum in front of the president’s vacated desk. A more telling image could not be presented to the public of an absent leader, yet that is the message Team Obama has conveyed to the world for the past three days.”

LOL, we were discussing the bad Michele picture, now I really am starting to think whoever is picking these shots is a republican mole!

The MSM is carrying their water fairly well. Although they do sound somewhat desperate as they attempt to cover for him.
