Hey Frank. Barack is Drowning Black Folk?
By Larry Johnson on March 22, 2009 at 2:35 PM in Current Affairs
Frank Rich. Meet Scooby Doo. Roh roh!! When Frank Rich, the diminutive New York Times columnist with a man-crush on Obama, writes that Barack Obama is having his Katrina moment–aka, a shiftless, no good, self-absorbed President who allowed poor black folks to drown like rats in New Orleans–then the worm has turned. Stick a fork in Barack. He’s done. He’s not been in office 65 days and has pissed away an ocean of credibility and goodwill with one boneheaded move after another. Bill Richardson. Tom Dashcle. Tim Geithner. AIG bonuses. Love note to Iran. etc.
Here’s some of the musings of Frankie Rich:
To get ahead of the anger, Obama must do what he has repeatedly promised but not always done: make everything about his economic policies transparent and hold every player accountable. His administration must start actually answering the questions that officials like Geithner and Summers routinely duck.
Inquiring Americans have the right to know why it took six months for us to learn (some of) what A.I.G. did with our money. We need to understand why some of that money was used to bail out foreign banks. And why Goldman, which declared that its potential losses with A.I.G. were “immaterial,” nonetheless got the largest-known A.I.G. handout of taxpayers’ cash ($12.9 billion) while also receiving a TARP bailout. We need to be told why retention bonuses went to some 50 bankers who not only were in the toxic A.I.G. unit but who left despite the “retention” jackpots. We must be told why taxpayers have so little control of the bailed-out financial institutions that we now own some or most of. And where are the M.R.I.’s from those “stress tests” the Treasury Department is giving those banks?
That’s just a short list. In general, it’s hard to imagine taxpayers shelling out billions for a second bank bailout unless there’s a full accounting of every dime of the first, and true transparency for the new plan whose rollout is becoming the most attenuated striptease since the heyday of Gypsy Rose Lee.
Another compelling question connects all of the above: why has there been so little transparency and so much evasiveness so far? The answer, I fear, is that too many of the administration’s officials are too marinated in the insiders’ culture to police it, reform it or own up to their own past complicity with it.
The “dirty little secret,” Obama told Leno on Thursday, is that “most of the stuff that got us into trouble was perfectly legal.” An even dirtier secret is that a prime mover in keeping that stuff legal was Summers, who helped torpedo the regulation of derivatives while in the Clinton administration. His mentor Robert Rubin, no less, wrote in his 2003 memoir that Summers underestimated how the risk of derivatives might multiply “under extraordinary circumstances.”
This is more than some media hack looking to make a name for himself. Rich was the equivalent of Barack’s “Mini Me.” He worshipped at the feet of the New Age Messiah. Frank Rich may still hold out hope that Barack will find his bearings and do what he promised to do in the primaries. But that won’t happen. We have followed the lies and shadings of Barack Obama for too long. He pretends to be a new kind of politician but, if you simply watch what he does, he is just another slick Chicago politician who will say and do anything to advance a personal agenda regardless of how much harm he inflicts on the people he is supposed to represent.

Yes Rich. But did you mention “He’s Black” and “historical” and “yada, yada yada ……….”!
Obama is an imbecile that most of us “diagnosed” over a year ago!

I went to sleep with Fox News on my TV last night and woke up after a dream that my son was a lot younger and his Dad and I were trying to explain to him how fucked everything was and was going to be in this country. I was crying hysterically in my dream. A repeat of Glenn Beck was on.
We are fucked and my inner conscious knows it!
CAROL HAKA
and tall and manly and cooool. that’s what really counts, after all…
And, “ELEGANT!”
And admits his mistakes and won’t be an international embarrassment and is well-spoken!
ummm
Like Kinesley wrote, ‘Its not what’s done that illegal in Washington that’s the scandal; its what’s legal.’ I sure hope (there’s that word again) the slow drip-drip of Obambi’s incompetence starts to ossify in the zietgeist, and start showing up in the all-important favorability ratings
Should my other comment ever appear, I meant to say worse, not work. It’ll make sense if the comment appears.
Actually I agree with that observation. The same applies to the conduct of the nation’s private financial and banking industries. The government’s failure is in allowing them to get away with it.
Wow. Frank Rich is coming out of the closet, uh, I mean cloud of ether?
$740 million for a campaign, hundreds of billions in payouts. Spare me the change.
You bring up a great point. Why don’t we just have Obama raise money from foreign donors like he did in the campaign? They can save his sorry ass and America. He was a money magnet, wasn’t he? He could sweettalk many an idiot out of all of thier wallets. Let’s put him back on the campaign trail, he loves it so anyway, overseas would be best. We’ll have to let Biden take over POTUS for now. Biden can’t do much work. Obama can go get his 3.6 trillion dollars from the same guys who bought him the office of President. Maybe he should just go raise enough money to pay off our National Debt!
yeah, send obama overseas to fund-raise and let hillary run america.
There is no change left over!
This is great writing, Larry. I only quibble with one phrase, and it’s in this last paragraph:
It is my opinion that Barack Obama does not DO anything. His top two cellmates in that prison of a White House, from which he must escape as often as possible, are two more politicians just like him — Emanuel and Axelrod — who only know how to, and who only care about, campaigning and winning.
Everyone made fun of Jimmy Carter and his sweaters and low thermostat setting, but at least the poor in-over-his-head-with-his-obsession-with-details guy tried to WORK at the job.
Obama, Emanuel, and Axelrod do NOT work. That is for the plebes, who Truthteller, on Skype with me the other night, guesses are Emanuel’s staffers. I.e., it is Emanuel’s staffers who are actually trying to do the job of the presidency.
Obama flits. From campaign gig to faux town hall rally (where he needs a teleprompter — boy, that teleprompter operating staff must be dashing madly to keep up with the questions (unless they are planted ahead of time, and all Obama has to do is get flash-card maps of where they’re seated so he knows the order of the questions so the teleprompter staff can get his answers up in the right order). (I just made that up as a possibility — I don’t know how much effort it is for teleprompter staff to get up the needed answers for Obama to read to the audiences.)
Obama flits. From Jay Leno to a flyover of D.C. to Camp David, where you can be CERTAIN he is watching the NCAA tournament games. All of them probably. Far more than you and I have time to watch, given that you and I both work our tails off for the blog and you for much, much more jobs that you do.
Now, the
campaign ralliestown hall meetings are needed to communicate with the American people but, as Mssrs. Rich and Johnson (and countless others) have pointed out to us today, they require being straight with the American people.I guess it’s already time to re-post that marvelous video that Hannity had of Franklin Delano Roosevelt giving it straight to the American people, whilst also working his butt off to straighten things out, along with his hard-working advisers. None of which goes on in the White House these days.
No one is running the show. No one is President.
I decided last night, as I watched yet another West WIng — I can’t stop watching them, and can’t bear to erase them — that the only name suitable for Obama is the “BIG ZERO.”
Andy, our pal in comments and in communiques to us, spells his name 0bama, with that subtle zero replacing the O. It is a vitally important distinction.
May I propose that we all use a zero instead of an O?
He is not working as or acting as our president. He does no work. He is therefore nothing. He is the zero that we will portray him as.
Okay the “zero” thing is brilliant. LOL from now on that is exactly how I will write 0Fraudo’s name.
I really like the “zero” suggestion, Susan. I’ll use it from now on. Btw, I agree with your comments on Jimmy Carter. Carter was one God awful president, but I never remember thinking he wasn’t “trying” to do the right thing. He just sucked when it came to making the right things happen. And frankly, the Carter “preaching mode” completely turned me off.
But having an obvious “figurehead” president is wearing very thin. There’s no there, there. Just the smile and the teleprompter. Scary thought that we may have WH aides running the show behind the scenes. And yes, rerunning that FDR tape is a good idea to remind us all, particularly those of us with no living memory:
What a real President looks and sounds like.
I remember my grandmother talking about Roosevelt, the Depression and War years. Average people had enormous faith in FDR. We can argue about whether his programs worked or not. But according to my family, ordinary folks believed he was on their side. A far cry from 0bama’s stance.
Interesting times we’re living in. Maybe a little too interesting!
There is an ancient Chinese curse that goes.. “May you live in interesting times.” Now we know what they meant.
longtime lurker here.
Love the 0 idea.
Your Carter point is fantastic. Carter does get alot of grief but you’re right. Carter did actually do some work. Some things worked some didn’t but but he did put in the effort.
Re-tread* just hires other people to do the job for him.
Then again he told people what was up. He admitted to the world that he was not good at managing things like a CEO. And CEOs that can’t manage properly tend to fail.
*Re-tread:
Noun. Also can be use as an adjective. (a re-tread President.)
-Someone who follows the same path others have already blazed.
-Lacking imagination. Unoriginal.
-Someone who hires the same people used by other administrations
-Someone who is constantly compared to other great people but never bothers accomplishing anything on their own.
-A mimic.
-Someone who tires easily. Lazy.
-Someone with no concept of a work ethic. (Likely can not define “work” nor “ethic”.)
Re-treaders do not like to participate in events that are not about the re-treader. This type of superficial, narcissistic and selfish outlook does not serve the re-treader well in difficult situations. At this point they often find themselves overwhelmed and try to compensate by for their obvious lack of skills by mimicking the policies, accomplishments, and speech patterns of historic individuals. If they fail at that they will try distractions of showmanship by constantly lifting their noses, laughing with talk hosts or telling off color jokes.
When it comes to matters of formality, re-treaders are ackward despite their perception of social ease. For example when it comes to gift giving ceremonies, re-treaders often overlook the symbolism of the event and dampen relationships by offering last minute items like DVDs or mass produced toys. However this should not count against the re-treader, as this is their nature. Re-treaders have an uncanny affinity for gift shops and gift shop related items. They believe these items to be interesting because re-treaders would never buy such things for themselves. While re-treaders indulge in fine quality items like, wagyu steak, diamond earrings and the latest fashion trends, they do not see such things fit for other people. Hence the narcissistic and selfish characterization.
It is for those reasons that re-treaders are better suited to endeavors in which they can talk about themselves, convince others of their greatness and lecture society about what they SHOULD be doing, while the re-treader does not do anything themselves. Book writing would be the ideal profession. While politics, indeed, any profession involving public service or safety, should be avoided at all costs.
Feel free to re post or add your own.
Cool — people are catching up with me.
One of the names I call 0bambam is 0zero —
replace the O with the 0 –
Axelrod isn’t a politician, he’s a marketing guy that works with politicians. He gave Massachusetts Duval Patrick, a political no nothing, who’s black, no political experience and sitting in the governors office with a 15% approval rating. Patrick will be a one term governor and Obama, God willing, will be a one term president.
Glen Beck is starting to make sense, that’s scary!
You are so right Jim S. Axelrod is not as much of a politician as he is a wanna-be movie director who specializes in large, emotionally moving crowd scenes. In fact, he was asked to “direct” a political crowd scene for one of the past tv shows on ‘being president’. I’m sure that was a thriller, at least for him and his latent ambitions.
I still prefer McCain’s nickname, “That One”. The only time I use That One’s “alleged” name is when referring to his cadre of Kool-Aide chugging morons. 0____ is good, though.
i have also been watching reruns of West Wing and it shows, among other things,that its really the chief of staff who runs the WH. in this case it would be emanuel. also heard on WW ” a president doesnt make new friends so he keeps the old ones.” (wright, rezco, mansour,ayers, etc, etc.) it also shows that many of the problems that existed then, still exist now. i have also noticed that O and friends copied many things that were said on the show almost word for word. guess they watched it too. so our bought and paid for 0POTUS is just a copycat of a fake tv show.
I read Rich’s column this morning, Larry, and thought: And now it begins. When a sycophant like Rich is running for high ground, you know the water is beginning to swirl.
I might be wrong [I've certainly been wrong before] but I think we’re reaching a tipping point. Rich and Krugman were withering in their comments of the “Obama no-plan.” This riding all the missteps in the last 60+ days.
The mask is falling away, revealing The One for who he truly is: The Great Pretender.
I hope it doesn’t take as long for the devoted followers to see through Obama as it took for them to see through Bush.
“Oh yes, I’m the great pretender
Pretending that I’m doing well
My need is such; I pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell.
Oh yes, I’m the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You’ve let me to dream all alone.”
Mr. Rich still writes as if B0 – props to Susan – has the capacity to lead us out of this mess and, perhaps seeing editorials like his, can be prompted into action. Notice, he never points to the fact that, B0 signed the damn bill protecting the very bonuses he – Mr. Rich – now cites to support his observation, people are legitimately angry.
Larry, thank you for the space needed by people like me to come and blow off a little (or a lot of) steam. I’ll bet you’ve prevented a lot of strokes.
Until a day or so ago I didn’t come to the site, since I get your posts in my email I let that suffice.
But the last couple of days, I had to see what commenters had to say, and am I glad I did. This blog has done me more good than all the blood pressure medication that I have taken for a month. You and your other writers seem to know what is in our heads and gave us incentives to get it off our chests. Rabble Rousing Reverand Amy is one of my favorites. She tells it like it is and if you don’t like it go soak your head. There must be some Celt in her background somewhere because she reminds me of myself when I get all steamed up. You’ve got a lot of knowledgeable and entertaining commenters, too. People who are really concerned with what is happening to our country.
It’s nice to see Frank Rich bend a little, but it is still evident that he doesn’t really get it where Obama is concerned. He needs a stronger anti-dote to that Kool-Aid.
As for Obama, Katrina moment or not, he is still nothing but a Chicago goon with an over inflated ego, and would be more at home in a down-town beer hall playing pool and telling jokes than he is in the White House. He’s never in the White House unless he’s having a party. He’s more likely to be jetting around the country still selling himself. To him a Katrina problem can be cured with a flick of the finger.
If he had a competent staff he might be able to get away with it, but with Gibbs, Geithner, Axelrod, Emanuel, Summers (who might be a little more competent than the rest)the country is going to he## in a handbasket and nobody wants to carry that handbasket.
IMO the reason Geithner can’t fill those many positions in Treasury, is because he is a crook and nobody with a sense of decency wants to team up with a Tax Cheat. But then it seems that all Obama attracts is crooks, so where does that leave America? Unless something changes drastically, this country is up s### creek without a paddle.
Thanks again for this blog.
Best bibliotherapy there is…
A support group where you see that
“no! you are not crazy” and
“No! you are not alone” and
“yes! you are right”
nonetheless…
“we are still royally screwed”!
Susan writes, “No one is president. No one is running the show”. This is so true!! It just makes me so angry every time I think how we could have had a competant and trustworthy president in Hillary. Thanks again, Larry, for being up on all of these issues about 0bama.

A little cheer for everyone…”The Tea Party Anthem.” Written by an AA actually, and really fun to dance to LOL.
I like it! i had to watch his Sarah smile video, too. It made me sad. Either Clinton or Mccain would have been shining bright right now. They would have real plans that would have saved this country and get us back on the right footing. Oh, no though. They weren’t popular enough, as if the Presidency is nothing more than homecoming King or Queen. People who voted for Obama disgust me! I recently had an Obama voter ask me, “What happened to his going through a bill line by line before signing it? He lied.” I told him, “Yes, Obama is the biggest liar we’ve seen yet. Welcome to the real world where there are no unicorns. You “won” him. Now you get to hold him accountable!”
You are so right. I think every single day of my life of how different it would be if Clinton, McCain, Palin any of them had won. I get up with disgust, fear, anger, rage, hatred, etc. because of what the Clown College of Congress and the Fraud are doing to my country. I could have gotten up with a smile on my face and hope for my country’s future, but the dipshits in this country had to vote for the American Idol wannabe, and not a real politician. No wonder some of us are so mad.
“A” Team to “F” Troop in 60 days.
Hogan’s Heroes to Obama’s Zeroes? (000,000,000,000)
or better–69,000,000.
you guys are so crafty clever! LOL!
Flash from the past, ref: Carter. I know he turned out to be, in retrospect, a disaster (even worse since he left the White House while continuing to lecture all who have followed him), but one comment he made after he’d left the Presidency has always stuck with me.
Not only did it show a level of self-awareness of which I did not know he was capable, it showed an awareness of politics to match any, plus it was damned funny (if you like your humor on the dry side):
When asked what he would have done differently if he could change one thing about his presidency (in the context of why he lost the election), he thought, then replied, “I would have sent one more helicopter.”
The infamous hostage rescue mission that went south when the helicopter engines sucked in desert sand and one or more of them were disabled. Leading to trying to run the hostage rescue with insufficient equipment/manpower. That was the end, for all intents and purposes, of the Carter Presidency.
What that has to do with this, I’m not sure but I always thought it was incredibly insightful and awfully honest. At least he “got it” even though he fumbled the job.
I’m not sure Zero-Bama even understands what is going on around him. From the re-used quotes that Axelrod fed him on the campaign trail to the positions that swirl and flop in the wind with no direction in mind (you can tack into a headwind, but going in circles has not been shown to be very effective at getting from here to there — no matter where there is), to the talk-show slapstick, signing one thing while saying another.
I not only think 0.00-Bama is the modern day incarnation of Prince Machiavelli, I fear that his plotting and scheming is aimless, wandering and random. His knowledge of history is obviously paltry. However, I’d like to think that it goes back at least as far as what he said yesterday.
I fear it does not. At least Machiavelli had a point and was served by cunning and cleverness. That you could fight. Plots and schemes blown about like leaves in a windstorm are impossible to follow, much less gather up into the much-needed trash fire.
Uh, right, boil it down. This maniac and his minions scare the shit out of me. And, I like to think I don’t scare easily.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ha ha 0.00Bama=AbsolutZero
At −459.67°F, he’s a really cold fish.
Simple and to the point: Barack Obama is a pussy.
we keep hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
but i fear it has been turned off..
couldn’t afford the electricity bill.
My impression is that 0bobo and his administration are wiggin’ it, day after day. How else can you explain the bad nomination of appointees, the embarrassment of the gift giving to Brown, the AIG circus, and countless others? All the while, his priority is to do Leno and town hall mtgs, why? Do we, the people, get to cast a vote for the passing of these horrendous money giveaways? I saw a great sign from a rally today “shovel ready, where’s the jobs?” Transparency? I’m not holding my breath. Funny, I don’t hear the 0bots chanting HOPE and CHANGE anymore. Like him, there was nothing there, there. What a friggin’ fraud.
but, but, but….bbac, 0bama ran a campaign! surely he is prepared to run the free world!
Do you want to get really scared/pissed? Read this one…
A Presidency Fit For A King
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/election/898
That was the absurdity of it all. I ran a campaign managing millions so I can run the country. It’s like a person looking for job and when asked what experience he/she has, the person answered, “I did a report on it.” Sheesh.
Nope, they’ve taken the bushbot approach–blame everything on your predecessor (or Bill or Hillary or sunspots, solar flares, sun in the eyes, and repeat ad nauseam).
Maybe the AMERICAN IDOL will have something helpful to say Tuesday night.
Maybe he’ll announce the resignation of his entire administration and the entire democratic membership of the House and Senate, having at last understood the obvious truth that the republican minority has the full confidence of the American people, and a perfect solution in hand for each of America’s ills.
cynic…LOL…Your posts are the most partisan I have ever read in my life. You really hate the GOP, right? Maybe what you’re not getting is that everyone who hates OFraudo isn’t a Republican.
I’m just saying that it’s all too easy to blame everything that goes wrong on the guy who’s trying to deal with a confusing and frightening sitation, when all you’re doing yourself is standing behind the ropes. I’ve observed that most of the people jeering and throwing bottles and bricks at the firemen aren’t democrats. Critical democrats at least hope to see the fire put out.
…situation…
I beg to differ, cynic. I’m on the front lines…out of work for a year. My state is at 11% unemployment and the numbers just out for Monterey County are 16%. I’m a former life long Roosevelt/Kennedy/Clinton Democrat, now Independent…like many, many here on this blog. I’ll never go back to the party who was so willing to obtain the nomination by any means necessary. They have absolutely nothing on GWB after that…no moral ground to stand on.
The election is over. We’ve got an out of control fire and designated firemen. I’ll support anybody I believe is trying to point a hose in the right direction, and take issue with anybody throwing bricks or trying to shut off the water. Honest constructive criticism is a very good thing, but I tend to stop listening to anybody who has a brick in their hand. That pretty much sums up my emergency politics.
Very fine. Then I’d say you must be where the rest of us are: “Country Before Party”.
Cynic, you seem espouse “the end justifies the means” mentality. If we allow election fraud to continue and “hope for the best,” we will undoubtedly get the worst. And certainly with That One in the WH we are getting the worst. He, his campaign, the DNC, and the media need to be held accountable for all the fraud and theft they perpetrated this election cycle. Unfortunately it is playing out on us, the American people, who do not deserve this level of incompetence after 8 years of incompetence. Quick, tell Chicago it’s Idiot is now in the WH. Maybe they’ll come get him.
cynic…you answered my post about you being way too partisan with another partisan post. Personally, I think liberalism = mental illness, but I would have been fine with Hillary Clinton as POTUS. I wouldn’t have voted for her, but I support her. What we have in this situation is way beyond even discussing “party.” You are oversimplifying it IMO. 0Zero is a con man, fraud and a joke. Big difference between you assassinating everyone you (wrongly) think is Republican, and understanding that we are first and foremost PATRIOTS trying to save our country from a very dangerous, mentally deranged freak. You don’t know what party I belong to, do you? If I belong to one at all. The other problem is that the Democratic Party ISN’T the party anymore. Look around you. The good people here aren’t the dirty, filthy Republicans you whine about. Many are Dems who are disgusted. Frankly, people like you are the problem. You can’t get past your hatred for the GOP so you support a joker in the White House. Very sad and dangerous.
I don’t “belong” to a party either, although I’ve been a registered republican since 1971. Reagan was the last republican presidential candidate I voted for. 2008 was the first time I ever voted a straight democratic ticket. You can blame that on “liberal derangement syndrome” if you wish, but I considered it a clear and unambiguous rejection of increasingly rightist republican leanings. If they think they’re going to win centrist voters back by consolidating the party even further to the right, they’re going to get another shock in 2010. Their problem in 2006 obviously had nothing to do with Obama. Their problem in 2008 wasn’t Obama, either. Their problem has been themselves.
cynic — lets put aside all the flubs. Why would anyone inact a Healthcare plan for all Americans in secret hoping Harry Reid can find a way to do this without hearings and win without any Republican votes? Why would he want a super expensive energy plan which he admits will make our electric bills go sky high in a Recession/Depression?
Not only is the media turning on him, but Gregg came out today and said that Obama’s budget will bankrupt America.
How does Obama deal with that bit of criticism. After all, he asked Gregg to be in his administration, so he supposedly thinks him to be one of the best….
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090322/ap_on_go_co/gregg_budget
Gregg’s appointment was to flatter his wisdom silent and give credence to Obama’s cancerous budget.
And Biden gave reporters the entree that Cheney left the BC in his desk; OK, it’s now open-season on the living-room pink elephant, reporters…be brave it really isn’t dangerous.
Then the presidency would go to the real winner:
*****HILLARY CLINTON*****
HURRAY!, HURRAY!, HURRAY!, HURRAY!, HURRAY!
I asked the other day whether anyone has had a visit from the 0bot Army. Supposedly they were told to go out and talk to people in the neighborhoods and get them to sign a pledge to support 0’s programs for education, healthcare, etc.
Anyone? During the campaign, my daughter’s neighborhood had so many canvassers they (and they voted for 0fraud) finally had to put up a “no solicitations” sign on the front door. This time? Nothing. None for me either. Anyone?
Oh no the Obots do NOT want to show up at my door. Nuh uh. That makes me vomit.
Hi Annie,
The tax day Tea Party daily tea email mentioned the Obots coming about a week ago. This was recently on my local news. No bot has come to my door and they will be sorry if they do! I plan to have copies of Evelyn Pringle’s articles ready to hand out!
http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news/Obama_Asks_Volunteers_to_Sell_Budget_Plan_march_19_2009
Didn’t Vice-President Biden warn us during the campaign that Obama will be tested internationally in the first six months of his presidency and we must support him? Haven’t many people warned us for generations that one way failing leaders garner support is to start wars (preferably appearing to be the victim)? Obama and Rahm and friends go back to whatever rocks you crawled out from under before things get entirely out of hand.
I read “A Presidency Fit For a King”.
Of the 10 counties in my region, my county has the lowest unemployment, 9.5% and one of the counties south of us has 19.6% unemployment. These unemployed people aren’t sitting behind the ropes–they’re suffering while the elite luxuriate.
I said earlier that we’re in the front lines…but to be more accurate…actually we’re in the trenches.
My earlier post never came through…did anyone have a knock on the door this weekend with an 0bot asking them to sign the pledge?
Not here. Are those automatons doing that now? I pledge to throw them off my property.
Ferd, my take is that they are trying to see how much of their youth army is still viable. They were so in your face during the campaign (it was so excitin’ changin’ the world and all)…on the streets with their little clip boards, coming around house to house.
They were told to go out and canvass the population again asking them to take (and sign) a pledge to support 0’s agenda…education, health care, etc. There were a lot in Carmel neighborhoods and Monterey streets during the campaign…now…so far as I know 0. Guess doing actual grass roots work (and for free) is not so interesting.
I suggest all the obamabots join the military…
Scratch that.
I suggest they get a job…
Scratch that.
Education… nope
Hmm.
I suggest they go back to their Mother’s basement, where they can only stir up trouble for their immediate relatives. That’s the ticket.
That is, Obamatans.
I didn’t have anyone knock (and this is pledge weekend, plouffe has sent out emails and Obama even made a video asking people to “to what they did during the campaigns” and to drown out the cynics, the only difference I’ve seen is once again there seems to be alot of annoying bots posting, it had died down a little and was almost pleasent with out the trolls filling up every thread. HOW they think THAT will get people on Obama’s side I’ll never know, they were som e of the reason i would never vote for him to start with, He surrounded himself with nasty people and the fish rots at the head first
So Rich wants transparency?
BO is as transparent as single-ply toilet paper!
Large sums of that money went out immediately, and no one knows or cares where it went!
So the taxpayers will resist “shelling out billions” in the future?
The American people blew out the switchboards in Congress, but who listened?
In terms of debt, we are going under like a sack full of boulders!
It would be nice if Obama spent some of his extra time, between flying around the country, vacations, tv shows to actually FILL some onf the spots at Treasurey, of course he can’t replace Timmy right now, then there would be NO BODY working tin Treasurey, of course that could be a good thing coniderring what they are doing.
Spot on!

I live in such Republican country (I’m not one) that we never see 0bama’s little army. But 0bama has to ask for my support not his little troops. For the purpose of salvaging this country, I don’t support his trillion$ budget deficits. We’ll hear him ask us again to sacrifice for our future and I’ll throw a pillow at the tv screen. The dems better listen to their constituents because some of us are very angry. The Congress needs to take back the powers that belong to them or that have been over-reached by Bush and Cheney. By fall, or the end of the year, all hell could break loose if the administration isn’t more careful.
Irrelevent; adj
Unrelated to the matter being considered.
BO; adj
Unrelated to the matter being considered.
First it was “stay tuned”, then it was your “just kidden ya”, morphing into “what a joke”… BO has been going in circles and has now become the meaning of “just a word”.
This is a very very dangerous person.

Mr. Johnson makes a passing reference to BO’s “love note” to Iran, to which Iran responded, “we will when you do”. So picture Hillary…on the go and workin it.
Does anyone think on one of Iran’s most important days of castigating “the devil”, her job got any easier?
I say, Mr. Johnson, that love letter has “return to sender” all over it.
What is very disturbing is BO is unable to clearly spell out his policy toward Iran to the American people.
***Obama is nothing more that an Ignorant Imbecile***
I can’t wait to hear from major African American publications about how Obama is not there for black America. I just can’t wait to hear it. I know JJSr. will come out after that and says,” I know he was not for us from the beginning. We voted for the wrong Messiah”
