Just when you think the president can’t possibly get any more preposterous…
The vice presidential buffoon usually takes point when it comes to making moronic pronouncements. Not this week. The dollar has been jettisoned as the de-facto measure of currency by China and even by our ally, Australia, we find ourselves on the brink of war with yet another self-deluded despot with delusions of godhood (not ours, this time; North Korea’s) and we are drowning in a leftist-manufactured financial crisis, among other things. What action does the president think will counteract our economic woes and get America’s job situation out of its catastrophic sink-hole? In yet another, bloviating speech, the Lyin’ King assumed the title “Scientist-In-Chief “this week and launched the BRAIN project. To the tune of $3 billion dollars over the next 10 years.
You’re probably thinking you didn’t get that on the first bounce. Regretfully, you did. The Imperial President shared a spurious, self-deprecating laugh with the press stating “I’m glad I’ve been promoted Scientist-in-Chief.” This comment reportedly produced sycophantic chuckles among the press corpse present. He went on:”Given my grades in physics, I’m not sure it’s deserving. But I hold science in proper esteem, so maybe that gives me a little credit.” No, actually, it doesn’t. Never mind that the nation, apparently, will never get to see his grades in physics or anything else. Would this be the same “respect” for science led him to mandate that NASA be prevented from further space exploration and transformed, instead, into a Muslim outreach effort? And, who exactly, appointed the Lyin’ King “Scientist-In-Chief”, in the first place? Oh yes, that would be…he, himself. Well, since he’s appropriated the moniker of “Everything-Else-In Chief,” why stop now?
This new, presidential initiative would be laugh-out-loud funny at any other time. America’s plight, however, prevents that from being possible. The Lyin’ King actually attempted to pass off the BRAIN initiative as a remedy for America’s fiscal ills: “Today I’ve invited some of the smartest people in the country, some of the most imaginative and effective researchers in the country — some very smart people to talk about the challenge that I issued in my State of the Union address: to grow our economy, to create new jobs, to reignite a rising, thriving middle class by investing in one of our core strengths, and that’s American innovation…” He’s not talking about how American success and ingenuity have been achieved since before our founding. No, he’s talking about yet another government program. One that maps the function of the human brain.
The-Scientist-In-Chief waxed euphoric about the number of neurons present in the human brain (100 billion for those of you who are interested), how no computer is as effective as the human brain and how critical it is to support human innovation. That last statement should set off a “hold it!” buzzer; the Lyin’ King has never before been interested in supporting human innovation. BRAIN is a very long-term project. How does that jibe with resolving America’s fiscal woes? He also stated that he wants this project to map all of our neurons. Aha. The Atlantic Wire suggests that many in the scientific community are unhappy with this project. They state that, at best, the goals are disorganized and obscure. Pretty much like everything else The Imperial President proposes. If ever successful, which many doubt, the project would allow access and “maybe even control our minds.”
In over four years there has been no attempt, whatsoever, to change the ruinous direction in which the president has maneuvered the nation. As usual, instead of allowing America’s neurons to function without governmental interference, he is proposing further, enormous, federal expense. He floats nebulous schemes with America on the brink of ruin. America has been handed another exorbitant parlor trick instead of a legitimate solution. The Fraud-In-Chief‘s BRAIN requires far more work than the constituency’s neurons do.
Barky couldn't be a towel boy in a brothel.
The photograph is reminiscent of the fat boy in North Korea looking through binoculars at God knows what in an effort to appear that he knows what he's doing. Neither of them have any idea of what they're looking at.
I want to see this idjits two lowbamas literally fall off. Once neutered maybe it will have some sense, but somehow I doubt it.
Ah, where is the trigger on this thing? Oh, this is a different thing. Ahem, where is my teleprompter? How can I see that when I am looking down this thing here. Oh, I am the scientist in chief now too, great. I can make up more titles than that guy in N Korea...tell him so, I am The Maximum Eminence. So, this is what an obama looks like? OH, I mean omeba. Well, what is the difference anyway, just a few letters. OK, I am bored now. Put out the press release and get me my golf clubs. You there, get the door.
We, um, have to, ah, open the brain so, er, we can, ah, learn how to, um, control peopele’s brains.
Don’t underestimate mapping the human brain initiative.
I still think the Progs can make ‘scientific claim’ to further support their quest for social justice.
It will be interesting to see how many former global warming “scientists” receiving federal funding turn into brain mapping “scientists”, so they can receive federal funding.
Clearly doesn't know what he is doing.
So in the last 5 years how many people have walked into an unemployment office and said, “I’m a brain surgeon, do you have any work for me today?”
Wait till the brain mappers get to see his brain, think of what most of saudi arabia looks like, right, a sandy open area devoid of substance.
“Hey I see Kim Jong-un in there! I didn’t know you could see North Korea from here”
This was probably triggered by him being shown up (big time) by Dr. Ben Carson. Obama wants to get recognition for doing important brain work, too. “Me, me me! Don’t look at him, look at me! I’m doing more brain science than he is!”
Scientist-in-Chief, it is 2 laugh
”Given my grades in physics, I’m not sure it’s deserving.”
never happened. you have to be competent in math and science, and the left hand side of the bell curve are befuddled by such rigor.
Well, he knows nothing about constitutional law and nothing about economics and nothing about foreign policy and nothing about domestic policy. Maybe it’s time he showed us his incompetence in the realm of any science.
Just to prove he’s a complete idiot, you see.
I suspect that you’re spot on.
I like the concept of a competition between O and the baby premiere of NK. 2 ninnies looking for a nipple.
What you're not going to hear from Obama guard dog Fx News is that there is nothing in the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I which justifies Congress laying taxes to fund such a project.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
2 for 22, is there anything our Chief Dork is good at?
