Obama’s Turkey Moment

I pray we survive this guy’s on-the-job training.

Indeed.

Travel safe, man, and happy Thanksgiving abroad!

The sense I get from news coverages is that President Obama is treated like a rap star in every country he visits. Far from tarnishing America’s image, he is making America great for the first time in our life time.

Please consult Zut alors, she/he seems to be an expert on parallel universes.

FF……I guess once you go to your knees, it`s hard to get back up.

Tell me again….Which one is the turkey?

Exactly, some people like to watch a rap concert for a couple of hours. Nobody wants a rap star to be the leader of the free world. He is just like a rap star. Without a stage he is like a rap star off the stage… without the first clue how to act.

Rap stars are only considered important in a small segment of society.

But then again, maybe they’re acknowledging the the similarity in Obama’s misogyny and rap stars’ misogyny. And neither of them seem to like cops…

Far from tarnishing America’s image, he is making America great for the first time in our life time.

So…. you were born after Bush II was elected…? You’re 8 years old?

the Spectator has a cover of an empty suit at the presidents desk.

He is not doing this country any good. But he was mentored from a young age not to love America or her people.

In my lifetime I have seen America help save the world from the tyrants of Nazi Germany and Japan.
I have seen a Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe.
I have seen innovations from America that changed the world.
I have seen people black and white work together to undo injustice.

You may not know American History and maybe you should study it. Are we perfect NO, we are people but we do the best we can to better our country and where we can the world.
Backtrack and his bunch will never understand that and never try to do that.

WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE

Lorac
my comments should have be addressed to freedom fighter not you. I am sorry

WOMEN WITH INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE,MEN WHO SUPPORT THEM AND COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY ALWAYS

PUMAS,BUBBAS,EQUALISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE

I have to admit–that was pretty cute.

No sweat!

Finally–something he can do right!

At least the turkey had the experience to know he was going to Disneyland. BO acts like he is already there and doesn’t know it. The only irony is the bird’s name is “Courage”, for which it gave cause to pardon.

President Barack Obama gave a presidential pardon to 45-pound (turkey)Courage on Wednesday in an annual ceremony in the Rose Garden. An alternate turkey, Carolina, was on stand-by in case Courage was unable to perform his duties.

.

Spammy turned my comment into stuffing here

It is a reminder of the fallibility and weakness of men. Great civilizations are not guaranteed a bright, profitable future……
*********
The Egyptian pharaonic civilization lasted for >3000 years…Our “civilization” <300 years.

You’re right Freedom Fighter, the news coverage does show people treating him like a rap star.

Just like the news coverage here covers up his use of the teleprompter like it is attached via an umbilical cord.

Or how they don’t fact check his books.

Or how they cover up his foreign protocol foibles.

Or how they don’t cover his out right lies on policies from one day to the next.

So yeah, if we go by the news media, he’s the best President in the history of Presidents.

But if we go by our eyes, ears and rational brains…we know he falls far short of that.

“That’s not the turkey that I knew….”

“I can no more disown this turkey then I can my kobe steak…”

So the turkey got pardoned. Will they also pardon the ones covered in white feathers?

“Barack Obama started his term as one of the most inexperienced President’s in our nation’s history.”

There is no question that Obama was THE most inexperienced person ever to come into the Oval Office and we are paying a severe price for it.

Obama never ran a company – an organization – a government at any level – even a leglslative committee. As Henry Stern who heads the Liberal Party said, Obama has “the thinest resume of any President in history.”

OUCH!!

You mean Spammy gobbled it?

Maybe he should have pardoned a few more turkeys….Seems his poll numbers are hitting a record low for a first year presidency. 49.9% approval rating.

————————————————-

YOU MUST BE EIGHT (8) YEARS OLD, FF!!!

Larry, I am so glad you are getting to spend some time in Rome and Egypt. What amazing places they are (you may recall I was in both back in April).

One place I could stay in for ages in the National Museum in Cairo – what an amazing place, especially the contents of King Tut’s tomb. Amazing.

And yes, excellent observations abt history and government, too.

The photos are great – thanks, Larry! Stay safe, and have a great time. Happy Thanksgiving!

The turkey that was pardoned was named “Courage”, which was cause enough for a pardon from POTUS. I feel bad that the turkey “Carolina” was an alternate, but that the way it was in the BO administration. Plenty of thanks but no giving.

It was germaine and ironic at the same time, I thought.

Today, I am pleased to announce that thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker — (laughter) — “Courage” will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate. Later today, he’ll head to Disneyland, where he’ll be grand marshal of tomorrow’s parade. And just in case “Courage” can’t fulfill his responsibilities, Walter brought along another turkey, “Carolina,” as an alternate, the stand-in.

sucker?

Maybe in your lifetime and you must be all of nine years old.

Thanks for pardoning my turkey.

Or your name is really Meechelle.

I know it was another cringe moment for America with that comment. It reminded me of a blaxploitation movie from the ’70′s.

But, it begs the question. Who’s going to pardon Obama?

Who’s going to have the privilege of saying to Obama, “Got ya, SUCKER!!”

Happy Thanksgiving Larry…and same to everyone here at NQ..Yes larry…Thank God our world is at Peace..and our Boy King..and his Queen.. can just party and entertain..Give a Thumbs UP to One Turkey in the Arena ..

I think he was sending signals to the other turkeys Tho ..
and what a party in the Garden….Wow..I wonder how all those folks in Chicago feel about Barack Now..??

Reminds me of Nero…He thought he was a Rock Star too..and look what happened to Rome when he fiddled around..

Enjoy Your Trip-Larry …Tell any of the troops You meet anywhere we Love Them..and Think of them every Day..

They are MY heros…I wish they could all be home for Thanksgiving..and I give thanks for them…

Boy that sucker sure can talk, too much talk just to pardon a darn turkey

That is precious, HARP. I noticed that O did not instinctively bow. Instinctively perceiving an equal?

yes thats all we need a rap artist in charge!! Glad you explained what he really is.

“one of the most inexperienced”

There is only one in that group.

History will refer to “most inexperienced”, “inexperienced”, and “experienced”. Obama will be the only President in that first group.

You consider that a compliment? He is considered about as important as a rap star to these nations. He is a joke and he proves it every day. Even the MSM are catching on and speak now with a little less respect for him. Must be tearing Chrissy Matthews apart.

Obviously you read the American Propaganda outlets like the New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Papers.

Haven’t you realized there are, at most, only a handful of actual Journalists left in the USA?? The rest of them are extremely overpaid readers of David Axelrod and Rham Emanuel’s musing sent out daily. The average 7th and 8th graders could read their crap with more enthusiasm and for a lot less money to the outlets. The USA hasn’t had solid journalism , thus actual news, in 2 years.

If you want REAL news, you have to read the UK Independent or Mail, Der Speigel, Asia Times, the Times of India, Australian news outlets or other offshore news papers.

Helenk,

It was understood to whom your remarks were addressed.

I too lived through the same history. It is so so sad to see the damage Obama and the Congressional Dems have done to ur wonderful country in less than a year.

For many years I voted straight Dem. Now I am a proud Independent who truly grills everyone running for office, from the local city council all the way up the line. No more party politics for me. I want solid policies and vote for those who have the most integrity, experience, skills and decency.

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody at No Quarter!

The presidential turkey pardon is an interesting study in propaganda and the rewriting of history. It’s a ritual that shows how easy it is to manipulate people’s perceptions. I can swear to the fact that turkeys have been pardoned since the days of Lincoln, I believe it so well I could probably pass a lie detector test. In my mind I swear there are memories of watching JFK and Reagan pardoning turkeys. I could swear to the fact that I learned about the history of turkey pardons in grade school. But everything I am convinced is true is not. It’s a complete fabrication. My brain has filled in the blanks, created a history that doesn’t even exist. The tradition of pardoning turkeys began with George Bush in 1989. It’s a very recent American tradition.

I think of this every year and remember to give thanks for skepticism, for all the cynics out there, for that American spirit of independent thinking that keeps us all divided and arguing. It’s the diversity and refusal to march in lockstep with each other that makes America such a wonderful country.

I pray with you on that, but I don’t think we will. Not unless we get the Dem’s scared of losing their job and stop this insanity. But, Pelosi, Frank et al are still in strong, pushing our country on the brink with expansions and weaker regulations with housing and financial, so…. Obama has found willing partners in them.

Sell out the people and countries principles for your big donors.

We are scraping now and if we have a double dip of this crap, we’re screwed.

Oh…and the FDIC has run out of money.

Rap stars?
Let’s see…
Misogynistic self-important con-men, and glorifiers of ego, crime, drugs and branding.
OK, sounds about right.

And forgot. Have a great trip and be safe.

Haven’t been to Cairo, but, yes, Rome is magnificent. And look forward to the day I return. You hit it on the head, a living museum. And in so many ways. Not just ruins, and paiintings, the buidlings, the fountains, sculptures, all through out the city.

Oh, it gets better. Was Secret Service told to no question certain people?

Off the list, but somehow on the South Lawn

A couple of aspiring reality-TV stars from Northern Virginia appear to have crashed the White House’s state dinner Tuesday night, penetrating layers of security with no invitation to mingle with the likes of Vice President Biden and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi — polo-playing socialites known for a bitter family feud over a Fauquier County winery and their possible roles in the forthcoming “The Real Housewives of Washington” — were seen arriving at the White House and later posted on Facebook photos of themselves with VIPs at the elite gathering.

“Honored to be at the White House for the state dinner in honor of India with President Obama and our First Lady!” one of them wrote on their joint Facebook page at 9:08 p.m.

But a White House official said the couple were not invited to the dinner, not included on the official guest list and never seated at a table in the South Lawn tent.

A woman describing herself as a publicist for the Salahis denied that they were interlopers. Pressed for details, Mahogany Jones sent a statement saying simply: “The Salahis were honored to be a part of such a prestigious event. . . . They both had a wonderful time.”

While the White House offered no official explanation, it appears to be the first time in modern history that anyone has crashed a White House state dinner. The uninvited guests were in the same room as President Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, although it is unknown whether they met the Obamas and the guest of honor.

“Everyone who enters the White House grounds goes through magnetometers and several other levels of screenings,” said Ed Donovan, a spokesman for the Secret Service. “That was the case with the state dinner last night. No one was under any risk or threat.”

Artist? Con artist, maybe.

‘because I was planning to eat this sucker’

::Cringing::

Squat is an A$$wipe. There is nothing pardonable about him.

And I read he was relying on TOTUS to help him through the pardoning-a-turkey ceremony.
(I can’t bring myself to watch that turd).

Indeed.

My brain appends horns and a pitchfork if I am forced or I force myself to view him.

a rap star?….. how classy and what a racist comment.

a rap star? wow that’s classy! how stereotypical of you and isn’t that a tad bit of a racist comment? hmmm what does that make his wife?

sorry for the double post, got overzealous with the add comment button, LOL

ON THANKSGIVING EVE, OBAMA ISSUES SPECIAL
HAJJ MESSAGE TO WORLD MUSLIMS

(FROM AMERICANS)

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/11/on-thanksgiving-eve-barack-obamas-special-message-to-muslims.html

A FEW SHORT WEEKS AFTER

THE TERRORIST ATTACK

AT FORT HOOD?

I didn’t know the Muslims dined with the

Pilgrims and Indians on the first Thanksgiving Day.

Rewriting history again, Barry?

The small segment of society with ghetto, trash sensibilities.

He can’t resist an attempt at being cutesy wootsy…and always succeeds in just sounding crass and stupid. It wasn’t due to anyone’s intervention…for some strange reason they do this every year. Wonder who started it? It’s really, really dumb.

He always takes his opportunity to bond with his brothers, And never misses an opportunity to insult Christians…”Holiday tree”. No Christmas apparently at the WH this year.

Isn’t it the truth, AC?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

he didn’t pardon spammy lol

Larry — be safe and thank you for the pix of Rome!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

How dare he speak on behalf of Americans?
And where’s that message to his own country???

I keep thinking he can’t get any more offensive and then darned if he doesn’t surprise me again.

Bush I started the Turkey Pardon.

Tom Jefferson refused to issue any proclamations about Thanksgiving Day on the grounds that it was a violation of the wall of separation between church and state.

Where are you getting your news coverage? MSNBC0? CNN? NBC? ABC? That’s your problem.
