RaaaAAACIST!

4 OT: Thanks for editing the title of that post, Gabe. If I had known the story would have made Drudge, and had then have Rush mention it, I would have left that word out. It wasn't linked by Drudge, but there's Google to think about.

I probably would have left out the "flaming douche" part too. But, I really thought that something I posted on a Saturday night wouldn't have gotten any attention at all.

Anyway, my sincere thanks for the edit and the bump.

5 Apparently you didn't get the memo/official blogger script: this administration is going to be about change. See how many changes have been made already?

6 Gee, you mean someone who has voted present so often might have trouble making a decision that he could be held accountable for? I'm shocked!!

7

Dear 52,

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for voting for this idiot. No, really. I just love cleaning up shit.

Smooches,

Ginger

Looks like he is just going to keep doing what he has always done when presented with a tough decision that he cant vote present on.....Flip flop until he comes to the position that draws the least criticism.

Dear obama,

Let me guess. I bet you watched reruns of The West Wing to study for the Presidency. Did you realize that TV make believe life is not the same as real life? You are so going to make James Buchanan look like a saint.

Hey when it comes to the Kool-Aid Messiah
He is living up to be the worlds leading practitioner of rhetorical flip-flopping , so this should be his master piece!

Charge them with crimes and try them in criminal courts?  Charge them with what?

First of all, if they are "prisoners of war," as the left insists that they are, then the Geneva Convention PROHIBITS trying them in civilian courts.

Second, acts of war are, by definition, not crimes under civilian law.  In war, we get to kill the enemy without being charged with murder, and they get to kill us without being charged with murder.  That's what war is.  The only crimes they could be charged with are war crimes, over which the criminal justice system does not have jurisdiction.

Third, why the hell should this be a job for everyday citizens, i.e. jurors?  Dealing with the enemy is the job of the military, not jurors who might be retaliated against if they were to convict.

Fourth, didn't Lord Obama ridicule the accusation that he wanted the enemy on the battlefield to be "read their rights"?  (all of which clearly kick in if they are to be tried in civilian courts)

Fifth, who the hell voted for these sh*t-heads?

21 Would somebody explain something for me?

Did he just convert his campaign headquarters and create this "office"? Who's paying for it?

22 Please let's not be to hard on him. When the 52 elected the one, we were told that his foreign policy would be more nuanced that Bush's. He is going to be more receptive to our allies and enemies points of view, and he will always take them into account before acting in an unilateral manner.

23 Let me clarify my earlier post. I said that he is going to be more receptive to our allies and enemies points of view, and he will always take them into account before acting in an unilateral manner. That is not the case, he will just be more receptive to our enemies points of view, and he will always take them into account before acting in an unilateral manner.

25 Let me clarify my earlier post. I said that he is going to be more receptive to our  enemies points of view, and he will always take them into account before acting in an unilateral manner. That is not the case, he will just be more receptive to our enemies points of view, and he will always take them into account before acting in a multilateral manner. With multilateral meaning the UN's posistion (or "Europe's squishy feely thoughts of the day.

27 Hey, Barack.  You don't seem to be cut out for this 'President' thing.  Your ship of state is gonna look like a racing sailboat with the staff running from one side to the other all the time, depending on which way the wind is blowing.  So, I gotta suggestion for you.

Call Bill Clinton.

Yeah, that's right.  Just pick up the phone.  You've hired him as 'National Security Advisor' or 'Intern Coordinator' or something.  Give him a nice space right next to the Oval Office, give him a key.  You go out and get on camera and get in a lot of those Mount Rushmore poses, but Rahm and the rest of the bunch go talk to Bill twice a day.

Once you get past the suntan, it's what the voters really wanted anyway.
 

28

Indecision is one of the worst traits that a leader can have. It makes a leader look weak, foolish and incapable of making tough decisions when the shit hits fan and does not bode well for the next four years.

If he behaves as indecisively as he did during the Georgia crisis the next time something like that happens then its going to be on for young and old as every two bit dictator and despot around the world lines up to challenge this neophyte President and show that America is no longer the Dominant Super power she once was.

29 obama's presidency is like a box of chocolates...u never know what your gonna get

Achielles Heel of Liberalism #314-

By trying to be all things to all people, Liberals routinely try to stake out all positions on all issues. This is commonly known as 'flip-flopping', 'triangulation' or 'being an ultra-slick bullshit artist'.

31 El Kabong - I vote for lower taxes, bigger bombs, and more CO2.  Don't think Obama's gonna be triangulating me. 

Is he going to be Bill Clinton or Evo Morales, or will he just split the difference and channel his inner Nestor Kirchner?

32 At least when Clinton lied he was good at it.

33 barrack needs to realize hes not campaigning any more,  if america seems wishy washy the world is gonna be scary for 4 years... thats what made bush so effective and scary to people, when he said something he fucking meant it

whooping aq's ass...he meant it. that scared aq.  preventing attacks no matter what the  cost.... that scared the libs.... amnesty... that scared conservatives cause he fuckin meant what he said and what i will miss with bush

bush may have not been the most articulate person but everyone of us knew what his intentions were all the time there wasnt this promise to suck u off while i shove an unlubed dildo up ur ass that obama is going to give us

34 They should release the detainees in a blue state.

Well, to all the members of the 52 out there:

Like having a flip-flopper in power?  Not sure what he is going to do or if he will betray you tomorrow?

TOO BAD!

You voted for him, you wanted him, he's yours.

By the way - constantly changing your mind is NOT a good way to lead a country - just thought you wanted to know.

 

37

Do we know if the incoming president can differentiate between his own asshole and a hole in the ground?

38 Yes, our head's on a swivel, and no, we're not yet fitted with a cup. Please, no punches below the belt. That would be unsportsmanlike and we'd like to at least be able to step into the ring in January.

well he sees an asshole everytime he looks in the mirror so im hoping he can but who knows he cant tell the differentiate between an unrepentant terrorist and a suitable babysitter

 First the jingo for the day is "No-drama Obama"
 Second ,according to a Pravda-lite Newsweek "reporter" Obama is sad at losing his "old" life. sniff sniff...
 You know it was just so sad that he was ripped out of Chicago and into that nasty white house without his permission. I mean,my god, it's like slavery or something......
 And Keith has found religion.....he said amen....

ha ha ha...

Remember on Seinfeld when Kramer showed up at an office building and just started "working" there?  When he was given an actual report to write, of course it sucked and the guy said "It's as if you have no business experience whatsoever..."

Wouldn't that be funny if it happened in real life?  If some poser just showed up out of nowhere and started hanging around the Oval Office?

Oh, wait... that's not really very funny after all.  Terrifying, in fact.

44 It's gonna be a fun 4 years, extremely dangerous but fun just the same. Maybe that's how McCain lost. We all voted here, and here we are with a '0' who's gonna be play president. How long will it be before the white house interns have rug burns on their knees and they won't be from bowing to their lord and master?

45

Remember on Seinfeld when Kramer showed up at an office building and just started "working" there?  When he was given an actual report to write, of course it sucked and the guy said "It's as if you have no business experience whatsoever..."

Wasn't that George? He went to a job interview and then just showed up and acted like he'd gotten the job. Also, he was fired once and then kept going back to work as though nothing had happened.

46

No, definitely Kramer.  H went into a building to use the washroom or something, and ended up just hanging around.  They had a riff about Jerry being jealous because Kramer was never home in time for dinner... and, yeah, George got fired for telling off his boss, but just went back the next day, pretending like it was all a joke.

Sitcoms were so much more fun when I didn't have to worry about that Civilian Security Force breaking in and changing the channel to MSNBC.

47 44....if the interns are guys it will be about five minutes.....

48

In a few months time I think there are going to be a lot of people who share Randy Marshes sentiments at the end of last nights South Park episode.

"Fuck! I knew I should have Voted for McCain"

49 anyone remember that skit where on snl that showed bush in the oval office when he  first took office calling his dad complaining how hard the job was while bombs and shit were going off in the background?  why i do i have a feeling that scenario may actually play out with obama calling wright in the next 6 months?

50

Those bombs going off might be ones set by his buddy Ayers...

Wouldn't that be a sticky wicket for Mr. Cool to handle?

51 #50 haha, no shit... i get  the eerie feeling he is going to take revenge on all us who voted against him... remember the entire media was in the tank for him except for fox news and he sent the hate out their way

he wont be happy with those of us, while in the minority, criticize his views, heres to hoping im wrong *drinks a lot of wine*

52 Shit. I have to make decisions? I just wanted this job so Ayers could ghost-write another autobiography about my awesomeness and unicorn-bringing.

53

#51 -  the stock market may be crashing, but you know what's still sellin' just fine?  Guns, ammo, canned foods and liquor.    

I'm just sayin....

54 In the Odd Ass City where I come from(Chicago), da sishun is made on da fly!

55 i have the ammo and guns, i need liquor and to a lesser extent food, the big problem is we need to figure out a way to organize a moron resistance if shit really hits the fan and the internets go out, or is that what moronpalooza is all about?

56

internet outage??  now that's just crazy talk!

 

57

Sounds like his "advisors" are trying to make policy by telling the media what he's for before he decides what he's for.  This is what happens when you run as a cipher trying to take both sides of every issue.

I've said it before: Obama is a puppet and every Democrat thinks he has a string.

58 crazy talk is my brother, he has spoken of coming internet outage caused by the great spirits anger at red state tribe... great spirit say all enemies will be forced onto reservation or as he call them re education camps if we do not comply with his great vision.

59

Standard answer: No, Yes, maybe!

Ok, i am 100% certain there will be a tomorrow, that much I can tell you

60
Take it easy on the guy. He ran on a campaign of bullshit, perhaps even bullshit that he actually believed. Now he has had the benefit of a few security briefings by men with briefcases full of undiluted screaming fucking nightmare. He damn well better be changing and hoping.

Of course he needs to rethink Gitmo, now he knows who the fuck is in those cages and why and what happens if he frees them. Fucking Saw movies are like kindergarten to these fuckers.

Of course he's got to rethink missile defense and Iraq and every other stupid thing that spouted out his stupid mouth. Yes, this means he ran a stupid, childish campaign. Better that he betray the dimwitted moonbeams who voted him into office than betray the nation.

Hehehe... yeah that was a good one.


KRAMER:  "What did you want to see me about, Mr. Leland?"

LELAND:  "Kramer, I've... been reviewing your work... Quite frankly, it stinks."

KRAMER:  "Well, I ah... been havin' trouble at home and uh... I mean, ah, you know, I'll work harder, nights, weekends, whatever it takes..."

LELAND:  "No, no, I don't think that's going to, do it, uh. These reports you handed in. It's almost as if you have no business training at all... I don't know what this is supposed to be!"

KRAMER:  "Well, I'm uh, just -- tryin' to get ahead..."

LELAND:  "Well, I'm sorry. There's just no way that we could keep you on."

KRAMER:  "I don't even really work here!"

LELAND:  "That's what makes this so difficult."

62 "Better that he betray the dimwitted moonbeams who voted him into office than betray the nation."

Don't underestimate my capabilities. My 400 advisers and I can do both.

Yes I can.

63 "Nuanced" = "so stupid as to defy rational explanation."

Not only is this the primary Dem strategy for success, but it actually worked, at least during the election.

Kind of brilliant, if you ignore the long term. How do you argue against someone who's unintelligible?

64

I think his advisors are presenting positions to feel things out how the viewing public will react. If it's favorable, he sticks with it and if its not he revises it...or at least least gives the appearance of revising it. Just like the whole campaign, it is all for show.

I seems more of an exercise in perfecting the technique of serving a bowlful of shit and having the peasants not only thank you, but ask for another helping!! I don't think he is that big of a flip flopper, just trying to figure out how to package his real agenda without people knowing what it is so they can't get upset. I think he will stick with his original position but fool people (that got pissed with his position) with Bullshit, cliches and rhetoric so they have no idea.

65 32 alexthechick: At least when Clinton lied he was good at it.   Heh.

66 ummm, guys...he's already talking about taking away guns and revoking the Tiahrt Amendment. that way all the newspapers can print all the info on everyone who owns a gun.
 like they already did here in humboldt county on everyone that has a conceal carry. front page of the "newspaper" the north coast journal. basically putting a bulls eye on those of us with permits. one stop shopping for the mexican cartel guys.....just swell.

67 Michael Ramirez has a great cartoon up (insert link isn't working for me, you'll have to copy/paste, sorry): http://tinyurl.com/nbqtc

68

So he has retracted the “Gitmo” story eh? You can tell his staff is full of old tired liberals. This, along with the other “changes” reflect an old Nixon strategy that people caught on to long ago. It was known as the “trial balloon”. Some low level staffer would “leak” a statement to a member of the press and watch the “public” reaction to it (which was primarily the press reaction but never mind).  If the statement created too much of a fuss they disavowed it and dropped the idea. This is really how this “leaking shit” got started.

 

This strategy has already been dropped by most pols because the public is wise to it now.

so ur a teacher too? was wednesday as terrible for u as it was for me being surrounded by all those  fucking piss poor winners?

72 I am fortunately on sabbatical this year, and I chose my sabbatical host wisely - he is a right-wing nutjob just like me.  So on Wednesday he says "well, yeah, that sucked."  And that was it.  But I'm already getting emails from the people back home linking the change.gov propaganda and instructing us on how we can adjust the university's mission to more fully comply with the directives of The One.  I just happily delete them all and continue reading AOS and Redstate.

73

And, you have my sincere condolences.

74 "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though."

75 #72 haha thanks, that day was seriously miserable but even with how horrible  i had a few good spots with a few former students coming to me saying that while they were disappointed in the results they would work harder for what they believed in in the next election cycle which was encouraging since i never tell my students my political orientation

 but with that of course with not telling my mindset i had to deal with a lot more ex students bragging about how obama was their savior... being an objective teacher is more difficult than most people realize i think sometimes

76 oops not objective i mean non biased wrong word

77

"He talked a lot of game, but it turns out he doesn't actually stand for much of anything."

Heh.  That's pretty much my best-case scenario for an Obama administration.  Seeing as how pretty much every policy he's articulated, I've disagreed with.

78 If he is the puppet, who is the puppet master?t

79

"Of course he's got to rethink missile defense and Iraq and every other stupid thing that spouted out his stupid mouth. Yes, this means he ran a stupid, childish campaign. Better that he betray the dimwitted moonbeams who voted him into office than betray the nation."

He is in office you cannot say he ran a stupid, childish campaign.

80 Just to make sure I now get up earlier than usual to check that the sun has indeed come up.  I worry about claims of a new dawn for America being withdrawn due to a miscommunication with Sen Obama's panel of astronomers!

81 The silver lining in his flip-flopping is he seems to move from a more extreme position to a less extreme position. Call it revision and keep up the pressure. But let's not give him too hard a time for changing his positions ... after all, we conservatives want him to change his positions. The last thing we want is for this guy to dig in his heels. It seems he has some poor instincts for initial policy positions, but it willing to respond to feedback ... that may not be a bad thing.

Don't get me wrong -- it's insane we elected this guy. But we need to find ways to work with him, and his so-called flip-flopping may be a key. Indeed, we probably should reward these flip-flops toward more conservative positions by calling his revised positions (in our direction) "mature" and "wise," signs of a reflective mind willing to ... blah blah blah.

You get the idea.

82 "the Uniform Code of Military Justice" will become "the Unicorn Code of Non-Military Justice"

The only thing standing in his way of releasing all 250 detainees left is American jurors will surely convict them if given a chance.  (And don't call me Shirley).

83

Did he just convert his campaign headquarters and create this "office"? Who's paying for it?

You and me buddy.  There is money in the budget for the transition office.

At least when Clinton lied he was good at it.

Clinton was the cheating husband who could convince his wife that his tomcatting was good for the marriage.

Will anyone truly be surprised when Obama pardons Ayers, Dohrn, etc.?

Oh yeah...Forty fucking dollars an hour?  I'd quit my job and go into public service for that much money.

84 I'm also a teacher.  Yeah, I try to avoid talking about politics at work.  Not the Obamanuts, however.  It was so bad, that the district had to re-issue a directive forbidding employees to show political leanings.  That was helpful, though.  It really worked the 1st time they mandated it. </sarcasm>


I feel sorry for the Black kids.  When they insisted that ALL the white people had voted AGAINST Obama, I pointed out that, if their belief was correct, Obama wasn't President.  There just wasn't enough Black people to win the election by themselves.  They just stared at me.  The logic couldn't penetrate the fog cast upon them by the illogical propaganda they had been subjected to, day and night.

85 Outstanding, Slub

86 Amish Dude is right, I think. This is exactly the sort of thing you see when impatient executives - like the ones pulling Obama's strings - communicate their bidding to a collection of middle manager minions in parallel - in this case, Obama and his crew. They all hear a different story.

Obama's just one of those minions - the one the media and the public are focused on - not the guy running the program. And it's been obvious for months.

Mansourian Candidate I think Pam Geller called him. Oh yeah.

87 I have a different take on it. I think what they do by throwing out conflicting reports, or any reports at all, is to see the media's reaction to what they are presenting, then based upon response, then craft an "official" response once the media, the pundits and the bloggers have had at it.

This whole campaign has been about selling the candidate to the American people under the guise that it's "really about you" and "change" blah blah blah, feeding into the narcissistic nature of the American beast. That's why half of the morons that voted for him teared up post election night, he made it "about them" a la "Well enough about me, what do you think about me..."

Each step of the way is carefully crafted, and tuned accordingly. Again and again and again.

88

Repeat my 3:30 post

I know it's racist to ask that question, along with using the English language and engaging in cellular respiration.

davod: "He is in office you cannot say he ran a stupid, childish campaign."

Unless you think that a large majority of the 52% of the total voters that voted for Buttcrack must be stupid and childish, eh?  Based on my experience, I would estimate that 40% of the voters are stupid and childish.

93 Do we gird our loins, or grid our lions

94 This is the best news I've heard all week.  Seriously.  An indecisive, incompetent Obama surrounded by backstabbing, empire-building lackeys means essentially four years of government paralysis.

Given all the things Obama has said he wants to do, a paralyzed government is a distinct improvement.  Sure, it'll be a bit hard on the Iraqis, Ukrainians, South Koreans, Taiwanese, and Israelis.  But as their countries are invaded and their cities bombed, we can be sure they will love America because we elected a slightly darker guy than before.

95

It's still not too late to try to stop this travesty.   You can all still help tremendously by contacting your states Electors before they vote.  These folks can help. 

And it sure beats all the whining and useless bickering with foolish liberals.

http://tinyurl.com/5jkkmt

96

I think we forget that most people watch the news and that's it. They read a headline, but not the story. The voters are not stupid, they had just been had by the media. I feel the media overplayed it's hand, and when people get a good idea who Obama is (a naive politician with no experience) people will start asking "how did this happen, the press didn't say anything". It may come back and bite the lefties and their media cohorts in the butt.

The press is so eager to report stories on Obama and what he is doing, they publish whatever they hear, only to have it changed the next day, hence this thread. Eventually people will see a pattern. I think the Democrats know they only have until 2010 to do something (which we know they can't do anything, except bitch and blame). I have a feeling they are starting to panic, and when they do they will make some large mistakes that the press can't ignore (but they will try).

So keep it up Obama, the press is now going to hurt you by reporting everything as fast as possible before you can even finish your sentence.

 

97 But he gives speaches that send thrills up peoples' legs. He inspires nitwits. Europeans like him. "Comedians" can't find anything funny about him. He makes his own cheesy signs for podiums. He must be great presidential material. He can't just be a stuttering empty suit.

98 "Mr. President-elect has to keep "clarifying" the positions his subordinates keep releasing on his behalf. It's almost like he has no leadership experience whatsoever."


If he had only campaigned for two years or so to define the positions he stands on before he got into office..

99 Richard Pryor, after visiting the bruthas "unjustly" put in prison: "Thank God for the penitentiary."

100 So, Rahm Emanuel is basically going to be president.

We should start that meme bigtime with RE or any other reasonably competent member of his administration. My guess is BO's ego is so huge and his skin so thin, he winds up firing them. Sort of a Jimmy Johnson/Jerry Jones situation.

101

How come I seem to know more about Obama's positions than Obama does? I read all this stuff on his website months ago. Of course, in all fairness to Obama, it was probably written by staff members, and he didn't get a chance to read it all between speaking in front of various throngs of adoring fans across the country. So, I can't expect him to know what his actual positions are. That's just asking too much. Although, I'm rather surprised that his positions weren't handed down to him on stone tablets...

But now, this stuff is news? It's almost as if the media didn't want this stuff to get out until after the election. But why would that be?

102 So when unauthorized leaks come out of the McCain camp about Palin it's an injustice, everything leaked is completely false, and you WANT NAMES GODDAMNIT.  But every "anonymous" leak that comes out of the Obama camp is taken as pure gospel?  Gotcha.

Have fun hyping up the Palin 2012 campaign.  I guess you'd better hope nobody over the age of 65 dies over the next 4 years.  That, or successful Republican disenfranchisement of every voter under the age of 50.

103 Headline on Drudge...............sounds like the O needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut............

104

Well I see that fuck-stick CAM is back after not having taken my advice to eat shit and die.

105 Obama will know his positions when he reads them on his teleprompters!

106
Identity politics never resolve differences. They have a momentum that causes ongoing splits. A new identity is always emerging and always grieving. and meeting today's demands just causes new grievances to be uncovered, or somebody shortchanged.

like little kids, constantly fighting for no reason than to be fighting

107 Obama is just saying whatever it takes to shut everyone up, of course none of this means anything.  Take 15 positions on every issue!  Why not?  It's not like there  is any agency, let's call it a 'free press', that will hold him accountable for anything he says.

108 Much heart-ache at HuffPo over the statement that Obama won't make any immediate radical changes in the intelligence apparatus.

They want their unicorns, and they want them NOW.

109

Let's see, Cam, we have leaks in the form gratuitous swipes at the running mate of the man who lost the election by his staffers versus "leaks" in the form of actual policy positions that have been listed, for months, on the website of the man who actually won the election.

Yeah, those are the same.

And if you still can't tell the difference, the former are likely done by staff members in order to cover their own asses by placing blame for losing the election, and are entirely unnecessary. The latter reveal a lack of coherence among staff members concerning what the politician's actual positions are, and are largely, under the circumstances, unavoidable.

110 When they insisted that ALL the white people had voted AGAINST Obama, I pointed out that, if their belief was correct, Obama wasn't President.  There just wasn't enough Black people to win the election by themselves.

Math is racist.

Much heart-ache at HuffPo

I do enjoy that he's disappointing his acolytes already.  It's like a light honey mustard on the turd sammich.

111 Uh, that's not the position I thought I knew.

112

I guess you'd better hope nobody over the age of 65 dies over the next 4 years. 

 

and you'd better hope noone under the age of 30 gets a job or has kids

113 I think his advisors are presenting positions to feel things out how the viewing public will react. If it's favorable, he sticks with it and if its not he revises it...or at least least gives the appearance of revising it. Just like the whole campaign, it is all for show.

In other words, the Obama administration is going to be an exercise in government by trial balloon. I can hardly wait.

114

#106:  A good point about identity politics -- my husband and I were just talking about it last night.

Republicans (Conservatives, I should say) are united by a common belief system, i.e. 2nd amendment rights, fiscal responsibiliby, less govt. intrusion, just less govt, period, etc., etc.

Democrats are not really united by anything, they are a bunch of different groups that are under the same tent, but each group has their own agenda.

An excellent example is Prop 8 in California.  Gays are furious because they feel that the Blacks & Latinos sold them out... Gays have always voted for the agenda of the B & L communities, but the majority of the B & L community voted against the Gay agenda. 

In-fighting is unavoidable, since they all have their own interests to tend to, as opposed to sharing a common goal.

115

Oh barf. Just heard on Headline News:

"While many are expecting Obama to bring a helping of change to Washington, he's also going to bring a side order of cool."

116

#115 - He's also bringing a big bag of dumbass.

Drudge headline says Bush is angry that the "8th grader-Elect" has leaked info about their private meeting to the press...

Someone should take the cool, hip guy aside and explain to him what a "private meeting" is....

He was probably mad that Bush didn't let him bring in a snazzy new sign or attach his fake seal to the desk....

 

117

"While many are expecting Obama to bring a helping of change to Washington, he's also going to bring a side order of cool."

Yeah this Erkle, jean bike riding, 37 bowling, stutterer is the essence of cool.  And by cool I mean dorky.

118 mmmmm chocolate waffles!

119 This IS Obama's first real job, isn't it?  If it weren't so sad, it would be fun to watch the next 4 years.

Angry White Dude

120 Uh em Uh Chaaaaaaaaaange

121 I don't see how this is a "lack of leadership".  I don't expect Obama to shut his team up under lock and key until they're ready to implement huge, sweeping, important changes.

Hell. 

We heard all the bad shit about the bailout two weeks before it happened.  We didn't even hear the bad news from Bush, and when questioned about it, they had to "clarify" some of the language in the bill.

I don't bring that up to show Bush in a bad light, I bring it up to show that appointees and cabinet members talking about reform, new laws, etc in advance doesn't have any bearing on leadership ability.

122 Hell.

The AP article sourced in the OP even states that all of this is just theoretical posturing.

Another Obama non issue.

Save the froth for when he does screw something up.  Cry wolf, etc etc.

123

and you'd better hope noone under the age of 30 gets a job or has kids

Thread winnah!

Indecision is one of the worst traits that a leader can have.

I've never seen Obama as any sort of leader.  The "Obama brings people together" meme doesn't really fit the data.  2 years of non-stop fawning and gushing  from the press (combined with overwhelming negative press bias toward his rivals), great oratorical skills, white guilt, a deeply unpopular President from the opposite party, 80% of voters think the country is on the wrong track, an unprecedented global financial crisis and a rival that couldn't articulate a coherent economic argument to save his (the rival's) life and Obama wins 53% of the popular vote?  Big woop.  Moreover, Obama could never seal the deal with HRC's voters all on his own.  Bill and Hill had to get up on stage at the DNC and lie through their teeth to get those voters to back Obama.  He's not a leader and the only people he's brought together are black voters and the so-called "wine track" Democratic voting constituency (e.g., college kids and latte liberals).  To be fair, McCain really isn't a leader either.  Mavericks are individualists and subversive by nature (as most conservatives can attest).  But at least McCain stood for something greater than himself: His country. In contrast, Obama is just an opportunist and enigmatic conman that manipulates his cons into doing his bidding (while the rest of us look on in wonder what exactly are we missing with this guy.)   

126 JJJimmuh Cartuh all ovah agin.

127 Ambiguous Is His Middle Name and It's Amateur Hour at the Office of the President-elect

See, here's another thing. What the hell is this "Office of the President-elect", anyway? There really isn't any such thing, is there? It's not any kind of a formally defined and invested office. It's just an important-sounding title Obama pulled out of his ass.

It sounds like Obama is one of those guys who is very much enamored of the trappings of office; the titles, ceremonies, decor, dress, etc.To bad we can't just give him the title of Viscount d'Hope et la Change, set him aside, and get some adults to run the country.

128 And you all wonder why you lost this election...

129 And CNN has released a poll that he already has a 64% approval raiting on what he has already accomplished!

All Good News, All The Time!

130 Viscount d'Hope et la Change

I laughed out loud, in a dark and sorry way.

131

#129 -- Uhhhh, what exactly has he accomplished in the 6 days since he's been elected?

Are they counting not falling down as an accomplishment?  Getting dressed in the morning?  Keeping Kinko's in business printing self-important signs?

Hell, forget the last 6 days... what has he accomplished in his 48 years on the planet, other than pull off the biggest con job of all time?

132 Ambiguous Is His Middle Name Finger


FIFY

133 Hmm, it may appear as if Obama is not in control of his staff, but that is a blind. At the risk of sounding hysterical, he displays similar personnel management skills as one Adolf Hitler, who let factions within his organization war with each other and one up each other as they all fought for a higher status. To be succinct, he manipulated them.  I wonder how many  pre-WWI I  Germans were ridiculed for expecting the worst. An another note, Hitler also felt great shame and at a turning point in his life vowed to enter politics. A look at non-revised historical data reveals a lot of other similarities in their motivations and manners. Heh, Hitler was a great orator also.
