Aww cute dolly (snicker)

Amazing that she worked her fingers to the bone for Obama and now can’t pay her rent.

Well we have to figure that if all of the “Jesse Jackson’s” out there are so ANGRY they would like to cut off his NUTZ than those that are at the lower levels of this whole MESS will shortly be ready to do it for HIM (jackson that is)

jmo – don’t chit on your friends especially the ones that think they are doing you a favor

it’s never pretty

oh and warm HUGS and good thoughts going out to Sista Amy!

get better amy we love you and are praying for you…

Take good care of you Amy; our prayers are with you.

Yes, DEFINITELY, get well soon Amy.

A little off topic, but now that Obama is declaring open government, maybe he’ll show us his birth certificate now along with his school records and campaign donors.

OMG, that doll looks exactly like Blago! Is that for real?? [not that I want one]

Best to Rev. Amy–hope you’re back soon.

Blago is so cute!

I know there are more important things to talk about, but Jeez, get a load of this outfit worn by Michelle at the inaugural prayer ceremony. Oprah, please lend out your stylist to Michelle. Pronto!

it would make a GREAT voodoo doll! hehee!

Here’s the link to Michelle’s outfit (cut and paste):

oh wow did you get a LOOK at Bill’s face in that picture?

he KNOWS something is UP man!! He looks like the CAT that swallowed the canary Trix! 4 REAL oh WOW and Hillary’s face too!

I’ve avoided all pictures of the one but that outfit complaint peaked my curiousness beyond my boycott

yes it is hideous for a woman of her age

looks like a huge version of something Sasha would wear

IN/UN/NOT APPROPRIATE

Looks like a job for Tim Gunn.

Looks like left over fabric from the 30′s. Where in God’s name is she buying this stuff? My momma would say “they saw her coming.”

That Blago doll is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I really needed one.

Please feel better,Amy.

awww, how cute. And so lifelike!

Is this for real?

I know the Chi chi chi chia Pet Obama head is for real.

she didn’t make it work.

Too friggin’ funny, does the pepsi logo button come along with the doll or is that sold separately (mo’ money mo’ money).

Speaking of Pepsi, did anyone notice they are changing their logo?

Oh, I hope you feel better RRR Amy!

feel better soon Amy…

that doll is friggin’ hilarious…..

Here’s the video link to the national prayer — notice how Jill Biden is the only one to acknowledge the Clintons? For a second, HRC seemed to expect to be greeted by the others but, alas, it was not to be. These people have no class. The world is watching and they can’t even fake it—yet they can fake a bogus presidency.

I just don’t know how the Clintons just keep keeping on. They have so much strength of character.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2009/01/21/VI2009012101557.html?

Loved the Blago doll. We didn’t get the answer to the most critical question though; what is Blago’s cut on each sale? I hope that you are feeling better RRR Amy.

The only thing missing is a little briefcase full of dirty Chicago money.

Perfect replica!
If you drop in a quarter, does he sing “Jailhouse Rock”?

I love the Blago doll … very, very cute! Will there be a complete set of the Corrupt Political Family of Chicago? Is there a big enough room for all of them? Or is the deal for Blago to take the fall for them all? He’s a cutie! Feel good, Rev. Amy!

Hahaha – yuck that’s the song Sassy

both of the above are FUNNY!!

thanks

lol @ a little brief case with dirty money too Niteowl

I just don’t know how the Clintons just keep keeping on. They have so much strength of character.

You said a mouthful. First the right-wing nutjobs went after them. After the constant smears and millions of dollars in investigations, HRC came up clean as a whistle and Big Dawg got caught perjuring himself in a lawsuit unrelated to his office. Then the rabid-left wing started in on her.

Those two put up with more guff than for less reason than anyone should be made to endure–and they got through it in spite of the media and the inbred elite. My hat is off to the both of them.

McCain IS a classy guy but nice guys finish last.

Link worth watching.

After they ignored the Clintons, Obama waited to see what Hillary would do and followed her lead placing his hand on his heart for the Anthem. I’m shocked they played the Anthem in a church.

As the video (your link) continued to play he thanked some people and said something about these four years the next four and “who knows after that” this guy is weird (wants more than 8 years and has yet to spend one day as President).

My flash player not working real well but that’s what I understood.

Dear Rabble Rouser [Reverend] AMY,

Hope you feel better. Here’s a gift for you…

Blues in the Night, by Eva Cassidy.

I’ve been listening to it for 2 days, to help me get through the inauguration.

Take heed America: Let this song be a warning to you about all his big talk.

Breaking…
Caroline Kennedy has withdrawn her name from senate consideration.

http://www.nypost.com/

Not to mention that the nomination was stolen from her, the false accusations of racism, the never-ending snubs and put downs. Someday when HRC retires from politics (hard to imagine that), I hope she writes a tell-all book, names names, and gives a middle-finger salute to all of her detractors. Actually, that image would be a great cover!

I hope she writes a tell-all book, names names, and gives a middle-finger salute to all of her detractors.

As do I. There are a lot of politicians and ex-politicians who need a good public dragging to the woodshed, minimum. I believe she has a lot of dirt on them, as does Bill. I just hope I live long enough to read it.

This is good news for everyone, including the Kennedy clan.

Yeah.

“who knows after that”

That is downright creepy…on par with GWB’s comment about how it would be easier for him to be Dictator of the US rather than POTUS.

I thing BO and GWB are evil twins.

[i.e "think"]

Finally. I thought good news had gone by the wayside. I wonder who will get the seat.

Dear RRRAmy,
Hope you feel better soon.

Caroline Kennedy has withdrawn her name as a candidate for NY State Senator [for personal reasons].

Good move! She’s gained a modicum of respect from me. I thought she was an awful pick. Maybe, she realized that, too.

I think the Clintons know something. Bill can’t keep a grin off of his face.

just now heard it on LOU

Caroline has backed out of the race

Yeah, definitely!

Thanks for that. I hope it’s true.

Get well soon, Amy. You’re missing a lot of really easy shots.

I’d like a Rod doll!

Hummm, I’ve got to revisit that video again. Perhaps Bill knows, when all is said and done, that he and Hill will have the last laugh.

BTW, McCain today made me proud that I voted for him. (My first Republican vote–ever!)

Andrew Cuomo, I think, was mentioned.

Now there is a choice that actually makes sense in terms of qualification.

The article said that the Gov “intented” to give her the Senate seat, but I don’t believe it. She read the tea leaves and “withdrew” to save face. Whatever! She is out! OH, HAPPY DAY!

Was Caroline at the inaugural events? Just wondering.

Agreed.

And conflict, in that he was married to Kerry Kennedy, their divorce, messy — she cheated, (but I don’t know the circumstances).

Anyway, there is bad blood between Cuomo, and RFK’s family.

I guess 0 wouldn’t promise a Supreme Court appointment to Paterson after all.

I was afraid that Paterson would give it to her out of guilt for Teddy.

And, MEOW! but Doctor Jill Biden needs to grow out of the Barbie short-skirt look. For as much as I dislike Michelle in her prints, Dr. Biden’s boots and short red coat from yesterday evoked Carnaby Street 1967 for me.

Well, Fred Dicker at the Post has a pretty good track record and he says: “Sources said the reason Paterson had decided not to tap the daughter of John F. Kennedy was her poor performances in media interviews and in private sessions with various officials.”

I didn’t see a snub, but boy, Obama seemed churlish, just pissy, which doesn’t relly work.

Perhaps they spoke outside the church?

And I do believe there is merit to the concerns she is being discredited.

They’re playing with the SOS, for their own political gain, driven by pathological infantile narcissism, indicating they don’t understand how critical her funciton is to the US, particualry at this time.

Almost like traitors, really.

Big surprise.

Same as the right wing kookaloos did with Bill.

Only sexist pigs who have personal issues would vote against Hillary

Caroline Kennedy betrayed Hillary and this country by supporting an unqualified male over an experienced woman for her own personal gain. She is a joke! But will Caroline inherit Uncle Teddy’s seat?

Thank God. My blood pressure couldn’t take another Pay To Play scandal.

Hell just froze over. Dick Morris (who I almost always mute) just said that Hillary will be a good SoS.

I just feel dirty and disgraced when I see the Obamas. They have NO class and don’t belong anywhere near the WH. After the “brush off” and “the finger” how dare these scumbags blow off the Clintons AGAIN and in a CHURCH? It couldn’t be more vile and obvious. At least the Bidens showed some class. Wow, what a long, scary four years this is going to be. And I can’t wait for the WH dinners where that mess “First Lady” entertains heads of other countries. Can you say laughing stock?

But will Caroline inherit Uncle Teddy’s seat?

I don’t think so. Teddy will be there so long as they can prop him up in a chair. Think of Queen Elizabeth and the reason why she hasn’t abdicated the throne.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Obama retakes oath of office, blundered first time, at White House.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D95RS3EO0&show_article=1

I wonder if this 2nd swearing in process will be made available to the public for viewing. I wonder who else was present at this swearing in ceremony.

Can we assume that the 44th president of the US was sworn in the second time (which took place on wednesday evening 1/21/09) using his name ” Barack Hussein Obama” ?

The Clintons have enough dirt on Obama to cover the surface of planet Earth.

It’s the broken-clock analogy.

With Cuomo in, the Hillary Clinton power base in NY is secure for the time being. Hopefully, she is plotting her own ascenion to the White House in 8 years using Obama and the SOS as her stepping stone.

Perhaps they spoke outside the church?

Let’t hope that is the case. But didn’t Obama snub HRC yesterday during the inaugural ceremonies too (so I heard, but didn’t watch)? Also, Pres Carter very rudely snubbed Bill & Hill yesterday (see YouTube, although I don’t have the link. It may have appeared on Fox.) If Carter could possibly make himself any smaller as a human being he did so at that moment. What a royal jerk. It looked like Barbara Bush stepped up to console Bill.

I hope you’re right and that they get the opportunity to disseminate some of it. That would be one interesting read.

It’s why there are some Clinton fans who turned on them. Many people feel Bill owed the world to tell the truth about Obama and save the election. I agree, but I know there is more to all of this than meets the eye.

BTW, McCain today made me proud that I voted for him. (My first Republican vote–ever!)

McCain was my second. The first was Gerald Ford back in prehistoric times.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28780417/

Conflicting information as to who was present during the 2nd sweaeing in?

According to msnbc:

EXCERPT:

WASHINGTON – Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath of office to Barack Obama for a second time Wednesday just to be on the safe side.

The unusual step came after Roberts flubbed the 35-word constitutionally prescribed oath a bit on Tuesday, causing Obama to repeat the wording differently than as prescribed in the Constitution.

The chief justice and the president handled the matter privately in the Map Room on Wednesday night.

White House counsel Greg Craig said Obama retook the oath for the sake of caution.

From the WAPO:

Obama to Sign Order Shutting Guantanamo in a Year

By LARA JAKES and DAVID ESPO
The Associated Press
Wednesday, January 21, 2009; 6:37 PM

WASHINGTON — The Associated Press has learned that President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order Thursday to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center within a year and halt military trials of terror suspects held there.

The executive order was one of three expected imminently on how to interrogate and prosecute al-Qaida, Taliban or other foreign fighters believed to threaten the United States.

A senior Obama aide said the president would sign the order on Thursday, fulfilling his campaign promise to shut down a facility that critics around the world say violates domestic and international detainee rights. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the event has not yet been announced.

What?

Hillary is the energizer bunny. She keeps going and going and going….

BTW, over at MyDD (I know, I know!) some posters are attributing Caroline’s withdrawal to PUMAS! LOL! It was Caroline’s poor performance and tepid NY support that influenced the Gov’s decision.

Obama flubbed. I knew they would blame Roberts.

Clarification: Not that Caroline herself withdrew because of PUMAS, but that the PUMAS influenced the process somehow.

Said this site is forbidden???

Well, congrats to Senator Clinton, Now, SOS! The only positive, thinking force in the current Barry Soetoro admistration. If she plays her cards right, can we say Prez, 2012. What a complete joke Soetoro is for his first 2 days in WH. MSM, will be able to cover this charalatan’s behavior or his evil wife. I just couldn’t believe they were in church, acting so heartfelt.. After ttwenty years of listening to that hate America crazy Wright! Phonies!

sowsear, do you mean visiting NQ is forbidden at MyDD? Or that MyDD is forbidden here? Yeah, I’ve said that I don’t post there anymore because of the toxic atmosphere and juvenile posting, but I wanted to see what the Obots were saying about HRC and Caroline, specifically. Pure research, and no participation.

NOT

Okay, sowsear, you mean the link to the national prayer ceremonies shows up as “forbidden.” Google must have srubbed this link.

Good for Hillary…..That Kennedy Chick, big time LOSER! You can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Now she will go and nurse Uncle Kennedy.

What do you mean 8 years! Betting the phoney one doesn’t last as more Americans realize it is just a “Fairy Tale!” Granted and evil one!

? phony!

I always liked Mrs Ford though . . . thought she was brave in admitting her alcohol and pharmaceutical addictions, etc. I think she was also pro choice, if I’m not mistaken.

Mo….Barry Soetoro is a vindictive , you know what? Starts with a B. Did you catch Fox or was it CNN…saying Soetoro or is it Obama? Claiming at some cafe that he’s straight! Had to do with something about purchasing some diner item! What a percuilar thing to say. I wonder what Larry Sinclair would say to that? Just asking!

I think Dick Morris is still in love with HRC. Didn’t she reject him when they were students at Yale?

Did someone save the picture of MO? Can’t get it to link, still, and the photo # is missing from the search site.

I hope for 2012 but it would require a complete collapse and if that does happen, blacks will blame Hillary. They will never abandon Obama in the primary no matter how awful he is.

I honestly believe Reid,Pelosi, and many in the DNC, as crazy as it sounds, are terrified of angering blacks. Nobody wants to be unfairly labeled a racist. The democrats need them and Obama has most of them in his back pocket.

To run against Obama, Hillary would need to capture about 90% of the white vote in the primary to offset black losses. That will never happen!

sowear — try the video link at the WaPo site:

[RE: national prayer]

And Obama takes presidential oath again after stumble:

After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over. The surprise moment came in response to Tuesday’s much-noticed stumble, when Roberts got the words of the oath a little off, which prompted Obama to do so, too.

Don’t worry, the White House says: Obama has still been president since noon on Inauguration Day.

Nevertheless, Obama and Roberts went through the drill again out of what White House counsel Greg Craig called “an abundance of caution.”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090122/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_oath_do_over

Great tune, thanks Mountainaires! And you are right, too – it really tells it like it is!

Duffy has an excellent one, too, “Rain On Your Parade” – I think it is hilarious when taken in connection with Obama and his followers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cfu9ojyCJw

Finally, THANK YOU EVERYONE, for your kind thoughts, wishes, and prayers. It means so much to me!! I am working hard to get back to writing (and taking those easy shots, Judy!) as soon as possible. I have some good physical therapists helping me out, so hopefully the immediate post-op pain will be lessened soon…

In the meantime, I am enjoying reading the posts and comments here. Y’all are an awesome group of people!

That is an interesting observation, athy. Has anyone ever had to repeat the oath? I heard there was no video so who else was present? The Chief Justice will never discuss what happened and Craig Greg is his lawyer so he can’t discuss which name was used. I guess we’ll never know.

BTW, is it Craig Greg or Greg Craig? It sounds like a name a Grade B actor would choose.

RE: 2nd Swearing In for Barack Obama…

I wonder if video or documentation of the 2nd swearing in process will be made available to the public for viewing. I wonder who else was present at this swearing in ceremony.

Can we assume that the 44th president of the US was sworn in the second time (which took place on wednesday evening 1/21/09) using his name ” Barack Hussein Obama” ?

wonder if Maureen Dowd will take ole faithful Mr. Jack Daniels to bed with her tonight, for a litttllee comfort, now that her gal-pal withdrew. Because, you know, using 147 (?)times ‘you know’ while you’re speaking is just, you know, um, just an indication of shyness.

It was supposed to be done ‘in private’. But there is this video on MSBNC:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/28780076#28780076

MSNBC

The drapes in the morning, and the bedspread at night. Yuck!

And I hope she comes here to see how people still feel about her.

Gee, I wonder what else was exchanged between these two “in private.”

NYC,
Thanks for responding.

MSNBC video contains reporting of this incident that are similar to other msm outlets.

No details on who was present at the swearing in (other than msnbc’s indicating in blog that it was privately held in the map room)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28780417/

I have been searching internet to see if anyone has written anything or taped anything regarding this 2nd swearing in.

Idle curiousity on my part-would like to confirm that President Obama was not ‘officially’ sworn in TODAY under another name-perhaps Barry Soetero or something else?

I completely agree. Her skirt was so short at the church, it was thigh high when she was sitting. Very undignified, She’s short so she wouldn’t look good in a really long skirt but just below the knee works on almost everyone, I thought the boots (would have looked better if she hadn’t had the expanse of white legs between the boots and red coat) and short skirt made her look like a Go Go dancer. Tights matching the boots would have helped.

In today’s TG1 13:30 news there is just a photo of Obama and Robert’s ‘playing’ the oath scene with no Bible or anyone else around. O is smiling and Robert is trying to look serious.
