Move Over Jimmy, America’s Worst President Now Available in Black

If not for Thursday’s .38 second special speech on the downed Malaysian airline, BO’s address yesterday might have gone down as the worst international incident speech by an American President ever. For any number of reasons, here are just a few:

“By far the country that lost the most people onboard the place was the Netherlands.” – thanks BO, butt there isn’t a prize.

“Now, here is what we know so far. Evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile that was launched from an area that is controlled by Russian-backed separatists inside of Ukraine.” – Far be it from us to rush to judgment, to take sides, to use this crisis as an opportunity to advance our own agenda. We reserve that tactic for domestic issues.

“Now, here's what's happened now. This was a global tragedy.” -  Upgraded from Thursday’s “terrible tragedy.”

“So there has to be a credible international investigation into what happened.” - Because allowing the Russian Separatists to investigate themselves would be sort of like letting the IRS investigate itself. Or the DOJ investigate itself. Or the State Department investigate itself.

“Evidence must not be tampered with. Investigators need to access the crash site.” – Are you paying attention, Lois Lerner?

“So now's, I think, a somber and appropriate time for all of us to step back and take a hard look at what has happened. Violence and conflict inevitably lead to unforeseen consequences.” – Really? unintended consequences? That never happens does it?

Remember when Romney declared Russia our #1 geopolitical foe? Remember how liberals laughed, and Big Guy joked “the 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back,”? Seriously, that’s no joke. Heck, we might even settle for the 1970’s about now, and you know how difficult it was to make Jimmy Carter sound presidential.

Remember, nature abhors a vacuum; step away from the giant sucking sound: it leads down the rabbit hole.

We are now staring into an actual black hole

And one last thought: who doesn’t lose their mind over a bowl of good chips and guacamole?

“What difference…” Oh well, you know the drill as well as I do.

This is how a 20th century U.S. President addressed the downing of a civilian airliner:

 

This is how a more enlightened 21st century U.S. President addressed the downing of a civilian airliner:

“It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy.”

Translation:

“Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”

BO’s well crafted 38 second response was completely pragmatic: after all, the plane had already crashed and burned. So what difference, at this point, does it make?

America evolving: Open all night . And by open, I mean “OPEN.”

“Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again”

“Everyone jump upon the peace train” (h/t: Yusuf Islam)

Everybody is speculating about why every “child” in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras is sneaking across our former southern border. Ann Coulter believes she knows:

The precise reason our borders are besieged is that the 11 million to 20 million "undocumented migrants" currently living here seem just a few more bad Marco Rubio speeches away from being legalized. And the reason they entered the country undocumentedly is that Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million illegal aliens in 1986.

I’ve been noodling on this for a while and still can’t zero in on a single answer. So I thought I’d toss out a few possible reasons and see what you think.  Let’s get in the mood, shall we?

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Feel free to add any reason I missed. As always, Chicago Rules apply; “votar anticipadamente, votar a menudo.”

 

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

 

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

You Will Know Them By Their Fruits –Matthew 7:15-20

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

When is the last time you heard a good story about the President walking into a restaurant and being told a bawdy gay-sex joke by the cashier? I mean, besides never?

Chalk this up as another first for Big Guy’s historical presidency; here’s what happened when BHO cut in line at a BBQ joint in Austin Texas to buy a ton of meat:

As the president approached, Webb threw his hand down and slapped the counter dramatically. "Equal rights for gay people!"

"Are you gay?" the president asked.

"Only when I have sex," [Webb said.]

"That's when he laughed and said, 'Bump me,'" Webb says.

For that matter, when was the last time you heard a President ask somebody if they were gay? In public I mean.

Butt Daniel, the gay-when-he-has-sex “cashier girl” appears to have issues beyond the ho-hum garden variety of “gay” gender confusion:

Photo of Daniel, wearing his preferred drag of sequins

"I only wear sequins…It's super-showy, and also easy. Other dresses, I look stupid in. That's when I look like a man in a dress, as opposed to a queen."

Okay, a queen. If you say so.

So why does Daniel, the gay rights advocate and gender-bender wear dresses anyway?

"You can be a little bitchier, and it makes sense."

Okay, I think I’m beginning to see where he’s going with this:

“Does this sequined dress make me look bitchy?”

"My mother got to shake hands with Kennedy in Fort Worth that morning he was assassinated, so just for consistency, it was kind of cool to meet with a sitting president. [ed. Does this person ever listen to what he/she is saying!? If I were the Secret Service, this kind of talk would make me a little nervous.] Her picture [is in a] crowd shot in this book called Four Days, so I kind of want to pull the photos next to each other and then wave it in my sister's face."

Let me go out on a limb here and guess that Daniel may have some unresolved, uh, “mother issues” that he really should deal with. And he really doesn’t look that good in sequins. As for Big Guy: all I can say is thank goodness he’s not interested in photo ops, because anything beyond that fist bump might have come back to bite him. IYKWIM.

Major kudos to Daniel - who “just happened” to be lucky enough to be the “cashier girl” the day Barry dropped in for some meat. His efficient use and exploitation of his 15 minutes is a textbook case of self-promotion. Too bad he can’t teach the government how to do that – the efficiency part, not the self-promotion.

Getting Back to Worrying About Real Stuff

As is his habit, BHO took the occasion of the annual Iftar dinner to deliver his first foreign relations speech of the year. (Here is where it is obligatory for JournOlists to insert the factoid that Bill Clinton started the Iftar dinner tradition and George W. Bush continued it.)

If you failed to tune in, “no worries,” as kids and Progressives like to say. You didn’t miss anything.

Besides, there were plenty of people there to cover the evening’s events.

And like I said, you really didn’t miss anything. It’s sort of like missing the final game of the World Cup: you won’t even notice and now you can get back to worrying about real stuff. Like global warming.

 

If we don’t stop global warming, it will be too hot for Muslim women to participate in their soccer approved burkas.

An Animus of a Different Color

I suppose some of you are going to object to this year’s Iftar Dinner too:

Because, “racial animus” or something.

Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday he and President Obama have been targets of “a racial animus” by some of the administration’s political opponents.

“There's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder told ABC. “You know, people talking about taking their country back. … There's a certain racial component to this for some people. I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there's a racial animus."

And by “some” he means Sarah Palin:

“She wasn’t a particularly good vice-presidential candidate,” Holder said. “She’s an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why.”

Because, as I’ve said “racial animus.” Or something. I can’t think of any other reason why people would want to impeach Barry. Can you?

Here come the “kids!”

Or any other reason they would object to a dinner in honor of the religion of peace in the White House. Can you?

Hamas lobs rockets into Israel, our presumptive ally

There certainly is animus here, my friend, butt it’s not exactly racial.

Sunday. Top Fault: Laziness

I know you won’t believe this, butt somebody has actually listed what they contend are BO’s Top 5 Faults. That seems a bit parsimonious; most people do a top ten.

Here’s Dan Cirucci’s list: Hubris. Arrogance. Mendacity. Petulance. Laziness. I would illustrate these characteristics myself butt I can’t do that on my own, somebody else will have to do that for me. And perhaps you can add in the other five of the top ten while you’re at it. Again, I’m feeling lazy, so you’ll have to carry that load too.

I’m sure Mr. Cirucci will appreciate your efforts.

Have a great Sunday.
