Hang ‘Em High?

^ ^ ^ bumped up ^ ^ ^

Lacking something cheap and vulgar for your Christmas tree? Leave it to Barack and Michelle Obama to provide you with a new benchmark for tackiness and audacity at the White House. For the first time in the history of the White House Historical Association issued White House Christmas ornaments, there is an ornament with the smiling mug of the sitting President. Usually only dead Presidents are featured on the ornaments. I realize it is important that we each have a positive self-image, but Barack Obama’s self-love is so over the top, so excessive that you begin to wonder if it is in fact compensation for a terrible inferiority complex.

Here is the Obama chotsky:

56th-Inauguration-Barack-H-Obama-L

Barack and Michelle now join ranks with one other great Washington DC failure. Can you guess?

Tenet Xmas

That’s right. Old Slam Dunk Tenet himself. Here’s the first clue that Tenet and Obama are not too bright. When the junior aide walks into your office with the “nifty idea” to issue a Christmas ornament with your picture (or that of your family) you ought to have enough common sense to recognize that this is a floating turd of an idea. But both Tenet and Obama embraced the egoism.

What next? A black velvet picture of Barack and Michelle that you can hang next to your picture of dogs playing poker? Would look pretty swell next to that picture of the Las Vegas version of Elvis. Christmas is commercial enough as it is. But trotting out a Barack and Michelle Obama Christmas ornament is a sign that the Chia pets were sold out. If this shoddy trinket shows up in your stocking then you know you have been a bad boy or girl.

  • Obamastolemycoutry

    Well his image is pretty well dead. I think that is what they are trying to represent. Acting like who you’re not must be pretty difficult so now they can both just be themselves. Americans may not be feeling the love anymore, but Barack Who’s Vain Obama and MEchelle, too, they’re still full of love for themselves!

  • Dave

    I wouldn’t hang that in dog house.. What kind of a moron would want that ornament ?? I’m gussing Oprah will take two.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Hey! I learned a new urban ‘word’. Thanks.

    Ya think BO would have the judgement to keep the balding “white” guy out of center frame!

    Must be an O-men.

  • ladydawnelle

    LOL

    that’s what I call hokey
    my Mom (every year) would buy special “hokey” ornaments for the kids sometimes with our pictures on them but we SURELY never wanted them for ourselves!!

    YIKES! That would be a clear opening for it to be busted into a million pieces by some elf or other. LOL

    besides that WHOLE cabal up there don’t give two hoots for MOST holidays MOST Americans enjoy!

  • trixta

    Now that’s the Christmas spirt — self promotion!

    Jeeze! How low can you go!

  • ladydawnelle

    and I’ll add

    they’re all like Bill Maher on forced steroids while all they wanted was the viagra!

  • yttik

    Ha! Well considering the price of coal now days, those are a good alternative. I do have a couple of family members that thought Obama was great, but giving them one of those at this point would be like rubbing salt in a wound. Hmmm….but that might be fun, too. How’s that Obama adoration working out for y’all?

    I saw a big yard sign last night, “we’re sorry we voted for Obama.” Yeah, well not good enough. I want an apology for the way you treated your friends, family, your fellow Americans. You thought we were stupid, racist, biter. Well who’s biter now, bozos?

  • sowsear

    Neither of them can see beyond his nose.

  • ladydawnelle

    MERRY CHRISTMAS NO QUARTER STAFF & READERS!!!

    HO, HO, HO, HO, have a jolly holiday!

    (tell scrooge to P*&s off)

    I’m going to enjoy the season in SPITE of the HORROR in Washington.

    I DID NOT VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE
    I take no responsibility for them.
    I wish they’d take responsibility for themselves.

    money changers and thieves

    ho, ho, ho, you got to go, go go!

  • Patrick Henry

    Imagine that..and it has Nothing to do with Christmas..Talk about taking “Jolly” out of the season..

    Amy reminds us these “Humble” folks sent Ol Churchill back to emgland…and Now they try to Compete with English “ROYALTY” with having thier Images plastered all over everything American..

    Deck the halls with “Balls” of FOLLY..

    Glad SNL is keeping it Real..

  • sowsear

    I had an 80 yr. old high school classmate tell me that he’s sorry he voted for BO. I nearly exploded when he gave as an excuse that there wasn’t a good alternative. OMG!

  • Ferd Berfle

    Christ. Is there no end to Bozo’s self-adoration? He certainly is enamored of himself for whatever peculiar reason, which is unfathomable at this point. He should *really* get himself a hotel room and shut the damn door.

  • West Virginia

    Would not buy the ornament, but here is a bumper sticker I would.

    Spare me your s**t
    I voted for the chick
    Both times

  • PO’dVet

    I’d suggest he issue decorative toilet paper with their pictures on the sheets. But of course I don’t know any TP makers who would sell their product “pre-shitstained”

  • yttik

    I like that! I’d buy the bumper sticker.

  • imustprotest

    Happy Holidays Dawn!!

  • Daisy Mae

    I shore hope that’s genuine pot metal round that thing.

  • Ferd Berfle

    How about a decorative water-proof toilet bowl liner–his and hers?

  • imustprotest

    Deadenders Blog had the toilet paper idea up months ago…perhaps now is the perfect time to market it!

  • Margaret

    me, too!

  • Ferd Berfle

    Yeah, but the paper would probably be the other side of corn-cob rough.

  • Portia Elizabeth

    I love that!
    Barack Who’s Vain and MEchelle.
    But make that last name Ovomit because that’s what I wanted to do after I saw that ornament.

  • Ani

    Unbelievable. Tell that one to Hillary.

    Even McCain in his sleep would be ten times better.

  • donjo

    I wonder how many Chia Obamas are planted around the WH.

  • Ferd Berfle

    What next? A black velvet picture of Barack and Michelle that you can hang next to your picture of dogs playing poker? Would look pretty swell next to that picture of the Las Vegas version of Elvis. Christmas is commercial enough as it is. But trotting out a Barack and Michelle Obama Christmas ornament is a sign that the Chia pets were sold out. If this shoddy trinket shows up in your stocking then you know you have been a bad boy or girl.

    ROFLMAO!!

    I should get a couple of those for my obamabot relatives. It’s uglier than a lump coal and worth less, too.

  • cat

    Orah’s good for at least two!
    she can pass them out on her next “My favorite things” show!

  • Kim

    This ornament is tacky and inappropriate.

  • FLDemFem

    Better yet, Obummer’s face on a pee target that you put onto the bowl so that little boys will know where to pee. Hubby will enjoy it too. Heh.

  • FLDemFem

    Try this paper..it’s real and you can buy it online..in time for Christmas guests who voted for BO. WEG(Wicked Evil Grin)

  • ziggy

    I understand the GOP will be issuing counter-ornaments in cooperation with the Franklin Mint, bearing likenesses of Scrooge and the Grinch.

    Actually, the official 2009 White House Historical Association Christmas ornament commemorates the 24th President of the United States, Grover Cleveland:

    http://www.whitehousehistory.org/whha_ornament/ornament.html

  • College Educated for Hillary

    I’m so glad I celebrate Chanukah.

  • I’m a Linda too

    Truly amazing.

  • Peggy Sue

    Hahaha. That was actually good, ziggy. The GOP version: Scrooge and the Grinch. Like it!

    Btw, I’ve ordered the official Historial Association’s Ornaments for several years. I give them as small gifts. And the Grover Cleveland ornament is hanging on my tree right now.

    I never saw this one. Wouldn’t order it either. Pretty tacky.

  • http://noquarter foxyladi14

    vanity thy name is obama

  • ziggy

    I’m not sure the Obama ornament really exists, but nothing would surprise me. If there’s a potential market the product will find it. I suspect I could make a killing here selling Pet-a-Potties bearing Obama’s likeness. Alas, the lead time before Christmas is too short to capitalize on this fine idea…

  • http://! stodgie

    with such ego on the outside one has to wonder what shrivled sorry excuse for a person is on the inside. obama also doesn’t think he has anything to offer in reality. that is my view for all this pomp and ego. it covers up the lack thereof.

  • lorac

    Ferd, welcome back!

  • Portia Elizabeth

    What, you haven’t heard about the Odreidl?

  • Ferd Berfle

    Thanks, lorac

  • Seriously Sick of Obama

    The ManChild N Chief does not celebrate Christmas, THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, so it’s not shocking that they made a mockery of the White House Christmas Tree, I predict next year he will declare NO WHITE HOUSE TREE to save money for the economy or some other BS reason why! IMHO!!

  • Not as gullible as you

    Cute, but not true. Here is the link.

    http://www.whitehouseholidays.com/Official_White_House___c563.aspx

    The 2009 Ornament is the second ornament honoring the administration of President Grover Cleveland. Grover Cleveland is the only president to have two different ornaments created uniquely for his administration, one in 2007 and the other in 2009. Grover Cleveland served as the 22nd President from 1885-89 and the 24th President from 1893-97. Benjamin Harrison defeated him in the middle of his terms.

    In 1894 the Clevelands were the first in the White House to celebrate Christmas with rare electric lights on their tree. One hundred multi-colored lights replaced candles for the first time. The ornament reveals a brightly lit tree shining through the window in the library on the second floor of the South Portico. The irridescent ornament is set in lavender housing.

    This wonderful ornament comes with booklet describing the ornament and Cleveland’s second term. It is gift-boxed in delicate blue featuring the South Portico of the White House.

  • Fredster

    This is the only place “so far” I’ve seen this ornament.

    http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-christmas-ornaments-from-navy.html

  • http://firefox AnnieCarmel

    Yes Ferd (where the heck have you been?)…all 0zer0 needs for Christmas is a hotel room for himself and his version of porn…a video watching himself be sworn in. Of course, one without MEshill in it…that, no doubt, would defeat the purpose.

  • http://firefox AnnieCarmel

    And keeping with their eh…standards.

  • FLDemFem

    Speaking of hanging high, you all HAVE to see this. Apparently, Obama is inspiring drug dealers to make drugs in his image, and name heroin after him, Seriously..check out this link for Obama heroin, Obama ecstacy, and Obama blotter acid. The last stuff is what I think they slipped to their followers during the campaign.

    http://www.artofobama.com/

  • http://firefox AnnieCarmel

    Considering that some of his minions are formulating a campaign to have his image installed on Mt. Rushmore, I think you can safely believe that he OK’d a Christmas ornament.

  • mdmom

    OMG! My uncle who is ex-secret service for Bush 1 gives one of these ornaments to us every year for Christmas. I have them dating back to 2000 and they are all beautiful and you are correct Mr. Johnson, represent PAST presidencies. I will make sure he does not spend a cent on these this year.

  • pm

    I don’t know what to make of this,especially from a foreign newspaper altho I often feel they probably know more of the truth than we do, but everyone should read this and see what you think about it…..

    http://www.eutimes.net/2009/11/obama-orders-1-million-us-troops-to-prepare-for-civil-war/

  • b fairbanks

    This is not true. The White House ornament issued by the Historical Society shows the Grover Cleveland White House on the front and on the back is the first electrical White House Christmas Tree.

  • Tex-Mex Soup

    so where are the proceeds going? Are they donating it for kids in need? the homeless? If they are not then that is complete utter bullsh*t and yes people should be outraged.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Yes Ferd (where the heck have you been?)…

    Got tired of being consigned to spam purgatory. I’m going to try again, this time with extra spaces between such horrible words as i d i o t and s t u p i d. It reminds me of a time when my Uncle said (in the presence of one of my cousins), “Don’t say bastard in front of the c-h-i-l-d”. Of course, my cousin asked what c-h-i-l-d spelled.

  • Ferd Berfle

    If they were ever to try to put his mug up there, they’d need to haul in extra granite for the ears, a LOT of extra granite.

  • ladydawnelle

  • Docelder

    Mt. Rushmore he would have to share. He should have his face carved onto El Capitan. That way he won’t have to share the stage with anybody. He is historic. Our first multinational President. It is so New World.

  • Fredster

    These are NOT from the W.H. Historical Assoc., but rather some commercial group here:

    http://whitehousechristmasornament.com/

    Hell they even do fundraising:

    http://whitehousechristmasornament.com/Christmas_Fund_Raiser.html

    This is on their contact page:

    Proceeds go to support the Washington DC Online Community.

  • Docelder

    The last sentence of the article sums it up… speaking of us it says:

    May God have mercy upon all of them

    I don’t see this happening this winter, but I do see it happening eventually. Washington no longer represents much of America. Of course, they do statutorily represent them… but not really represent them in practice as in representing their voices. Washington represents a broken system, not America and certainly not Americans.

  • Onofre’s arm

    They should print all of Obama’s most famous speeches on toilet paper and market it with the name “Read It and Wipe!”

  • Ferd Berfle

    Hell, if he wants to be alone on the stage, just place his likeness on every Port-a-John in the country. His image would be the only one on them and would certainly be remembered, for sure.

  • Ferd Berfle

    so where are the proceeds going?

    sarcasm on:

    To pay to have his mug carved into Mt. Rushmore and to also defray the costs of hauling in all the extra granite for his ears.

    sarcasm off.

  • Onofre’s arm

    What??…. No diapered baby Barry action figure to replace the Baby Jesus in the Christmas Creche? Obama’s publicists lack imagination. It’s perfectly symbolic, because he would be surrounded by adoring sheep, goats, and jackasses.

  • Docelder

    I wonder if someday we can travel to the stable near Mombasa where he was born and stand where the three wise men of the East stood when they brought him gifts?

  • Banned in Beantown

    Yes it is the modern day lump of coal in the stocking.

    Since Obama has all but proclaimed a national ban on coal, this ugly thing will be the new coal for the new age of stocking stuffing.

  • oowawa

    Hey Ferd–good to hear from you. My take on this: Thee One missed his bet with a mere Christmas ornament: he should have spread his wings as the illuminated angel at the top of the tree . . .

  • oowawa

    How about a decorative water-proof toilet bowl liner–his and hers?

    Good idea Ferd–but I would call it a toilet bowl target–supersticking vinyl that readily adheres underwater in toiletbowls or urinals. Invite your obot friends over and give them lots of beer . . .

  • oowawa

    OOOH . . . Good money-making idea for the Tijuana black-velvet artists: The Poker Playing Dogs around the table playing cards with O. Thee One is holding a hand with 4 kings. The caption: “Five Kings.”

  • Eastan McNeal

    http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2009/11/17/save-coal-river-mountain-rally-and-protest-charleston-wv-dec-7-at-2pm/

    Good quote from there that I hope Obama reads:

    Seriously, if you aren’t going to be in Copenhagen, ask yourself why won’t you be in West Virginia defending Coal River Mountain on Dec 7?

  • Ferd Berfle

    LMAO, oowawa.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Of course, there would have to be different super-vinyl target sizes so the mouth could line up properly with the business chute.

  • Onofre’s arm

    I’ve often wondered if a tombstone looking toilet lid would sell. It could simply say R.I.P. and then have spaces below where you could write in the names of all the goldfish, mice, hamsters, and tiny pet turtles that ended up in the porcelain sepulcher.

  • oowawa

    LMAO–Hey, I’ve been missing the daily sarcastic sacrilege lately. Gotta get back in the Xmas spirit! PS–have you heard–Oklahoma vs Stanford in the Sun Bowl, Dec. 31. Should be a good one!

  • mountainaires

    sure, he’s right up there next to Jesus himself, in his mind. ugh.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Yeah–but then again with the toilet bowl target–supersticking vinyl, you’d have a royal flush.

  • Onofre’s arm

    What three wise men brought Barky gifts? Do you mean Larry, Curly, and Moe?

  • Ferd Berfle

    OU versus Stanford? Hadn’t heard about it. That would be a good game. I’ve always liked Stanford, especially since they used to beat Big Ten teams in the 70s at the Rose Bowl.

  • Onofre’s arm

    And the American Public is holding Aces and Eights.

  • oowawa

    Well, Onofre’s arm, I think that would be a very fitting fixture for my last rites, as I plan on having friends and family gather with my ashes in the “rest room” for the grand final flush. If it’s good enough for turtles and goldfish, not to mention little alligators . . .

  • Onofre’s arm

    The “Eternal Rest Room”. Or, the “Eternal Urinal”.

  • wbboei

    Merry Christmas Ziggy.

    You would agree I am sure that this is yet another sign of Obama’s narcissism and commercial interests have simply found another way to exploit it in a symbiotic type of way.

    Also, when the money is tight, which would you rather have– scrooge or a spendthrift? Its Hobsons choice, but to use a nautical analogy when a storm is approaching it is generally best to batten down the hatches. Unless you want to sink and collect the insurance on the vessel. Maybe that is his game. Ever consider that possibility?

    This is not a plea for Republicans. All we want in 2010 and 2012 is regime change. That is not asking for much now is it? How do you spell relief? N-O-B-A-M-A.

  • Onofre’s arm

    With an optional perpetual methane flame.

    Would undertakers then have to belong to the plumber’s union?

  • Onofre’s arm

    Wow, from toilet bowls to Rose Bowls. Ain’t it great when a thoughtful discussion swirls full circle?

  • NomNomNom

    Russia Today is a state owned Russian propaganda outlet: that’s why it’s in english.

  • oowawa

    HaHa–So who’s going to be playing in the Toilet Bowl this year?

  • oowawa

    The “Eternal Rest Room”

    It’s the only place where I totally felt like I understood what I was doing. If only O could find such clarity of thought and purpose in the Oval Office . . .

  • oowawa

    I might finally learn to think of Him with something like grateful relief . . .

    It’s completely different than the Historical Series that I’ve been buying for the last 10 years. But it does exist for $20 a pop.

    If the environmetal wacos had another source for 40% of the energy in the US that is currently produced by coal, then I would be all for eliminating destructive coal removal mining techniques.

    Coal generates 40% of energy in the US. You can’t shut off 40% of the energy supply and expect the nation to survive.

    You think unemployment is high now take a look at what eliminating nearly 1/2 of the energy supply. It will drive up the cost of other fossil fuels, sending even more US dollars to countries that do not like the USA.

    You want to but the death grip on the US economy, this will surely do it.

    Do a Google image search on “mountaintop removal” and study the photographs.

    Anyone who loves America has got to object to that sort of wholesale destruction. We didn’t use to take coal from the earth that way. It’s only done now because it’s more profitable.

  • VRWC – Feeling Addled Dept.

    I can’t stand it. If I had been there when Tenet said “slam dunk” I’d have cut myself to produce red fluid in order to throw a red flag. Like Mark Steyn, I thought the invasion was justified even without Tenet’s damn slam dunk. The imagery is getting to complicated for me here, all I’m trying to say is, O’s so vain. Tenet with his smug sports metaphor. Glad I am that George Allen went down early. Everybody does some salesmanship but good grief.

    It’s getting to the point, where Oooh’s noooo fuuun any more!

    Hey what do you people expect, this is an event that has to be remembered the first black president of the USA.

    Who ever thought in our lifetimes we would of seen this cataclysmic event, this wonder of the world, Barack the Magnificent, this is something we have to remember through the ages, your children, children has to never forget this.

    Am very sure before those two leave the WH we will have more of the same, are we not getting a Christmas story from the WH brought to us by Oprah? Hey its the new baby Jesus so get over it people.

  • FLDemFem

    Ok, first of all, it’s the Russians. And the Russians have never understood what it is to be an American, that we are a UNITED nation, not a forced collection of independent states like the Soviet Union was. The person saying that we are going to have a civil war is predicating our future actions on the assumption that our states are like the Russian “states” which scrambled for independence as soon as was feasible after the fall of the Soviet Union. Soviet Russia was a plethora of different cultures forced into the Soviet mold, we are a single culture enriched by the many other cultures that immigrants bring. But once the immigrants get here, they think of themselves as Americans. In Russia, the forcibly assimilated peoples had their culture erased by the Soviet government and they were not allowed their own cultural identity. In America, that doesn’t happen, we celebrate cultural identities other than our “own” every year, to whit, Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, etc. The Russians don’t understand, at a visceral level, that the US is not like Russia culturally, historically or politically. We may have a revolution and get rid of Obummer, but it’s more likely that he will be impeached than forcibly removed. The Russians do not have the Constitution and they don’t understand the reverence that most Americans have for it, immigrant or not. Yes, we may have a revolution, but we will not break apart or crumble to bits because we have a lousy President. We will remove him, legally and without fracturing the United States. After all, in Russia the only real experience they have had in regime change(other than the Politburo picking the Premier) has been the 1917 Revolution and the break up of the Soviet Union. Both of those were devastating to the country, and so the Russians predicate their predictions for the US on their own experience, which does not apply. We have never been an autocracy or a dictatorship, and we don’t react like people living under either of them. We are Americans, and we have the Constitution. We don’t need a revolution, we just need to apply the laws we have in place to get rid of Obama.

  • Banned in Beantown

    Apparantly you have never seen the mountains in Eastern PA along the I80/84 area. They have been mining coal this way for decades.

    The forests have been getting replanted, and two decades later there is dense mature growth.

    This is the most efficient method when coal is near the surface.

    Again, find an alternative source for 40% of the USA’s energy supply, put it on line, and then you can end coal use.

  • Bluebeard

    This post is totally false. Neither the Obamas, the White House, the federal government, nor the White House Historical Association issued the Obama inauguration ornament — and the official WH Christmas ornament, just as in prior years, honors a historical administration, not the current one.

    Just like prior years, the White House Historical Association (whha.org) has issued its official WH Christmas ornament — and it honors the second Grover Cleveland administration. Go to the site, and see for yourself, or Google “Official White House Christmas Ornament 2009,” or go here: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/lifestyles/homegarden/s_656218.html

    The 2009 Obama ornament is just some private company’s moneymaking effort (from whitehousechristmasornament.com) — just like the Obama coins, plates, glasses, etc. etc. that the Obamas have not endorsed and have no part in.

    I know people on this site have connections. Can’t anyone here do something to get this marxist impeached? He has sent our kids to die, and is further helping the enemy! He has the blood of our soldiers on his hands!

    Obama Colluding With Left to Subvert His Own Afghan War Policyby Kristinn Taylor and Andrea Shea King
    [Note: This is the latest segment in an ongoing series about Code Pink and its co-founder Jodie Evans. Click here to read earlier articles.]

    In a move by the Obama administration that is gallingly cynical and would be considered treasonous in a less progressive era, a message sent by Code Pink and an article published by the left wing online publication AlertNet indicates the White House is working with the left wing terrorist support group Code Pink to agitate the public and undermine President Barack Obama’s newly announced Afghanistan war policy.

    Top Obama funder, Code Pink co-founder and terrorist supporter Jodie Evans wrote at AlterNet of a White House initiated phone call she received last week, two days after Obama’s Afghan war speech at West Point. The Obama official said the administration wanted to “consult” with Code Pink in response to the group’s e-mail campaign targeting the White House with opposition to the president’s surge strategy.

    However, it appears that the Obama administration was already in consultation with Code Pink before this reported phone call. In its message to supporters, Code Pink guaranteed their e-mails would be read by someone in the White House.

    “It’s time to turn our outrage into sustained action. Use our quick and easy tool to send your response to Obama’s announcement to the Executive Office of the President–where it will be read by a member of Obama’s team! Let them know that you are mad as hell and will push back on the escalation. It is our job to continue to press them as we move forward.”

    In the article at AlterNet, Jodie Evans gloats about Code Pink’s success, noting the Obama official called “three minutes” after the e-mail campaign was launched.

    “It was working! Impassioned CODEPINKers all over the globe were being heard inside the White House!

    Obama has been consulting with Jodie Evans for nearly three years since first inviting her to co-host the breakthrough Hollywood fundraiser in February 2007 that made his presidential candidacy a serious contender. He appointed her a bundler for his campaign and took tens of thousands of dollars in contributions from her for his Obama for America and Obama Victory Fund campaign vehicles.

    Obama’s last known meeting with Jodie Evans was in October when she gave him an antiwar propaganda package based on her recent trip to Kabul. While in Afghanistan, she met with members of the Taliban, according to her friend Jane Fonda. Obama allowed himself to be filmed accepting the propaganda package.

    Jodie Evans and Code Pink have a well documented history of working to bring about America’s defeat in the war on terror. They have the blood of America’s soldiers on their hands from funding “the other side” in Fallujah, acting as a mouthpiece for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and sympathizing with Osama bin Laden.

    Obama and his team know this, yet they continue to work with Jodie Evans and Code Pink as Obama sends more of America’s sons and daughters to fight Code Pink’s allies overseas.

    The official with the White House Office of Public Engagement who made the call, identified in the article as “Jayne”, tells Jodie Evans she wants to consult with Code Pink to “make our communications better.”

    Jayne said she was acting on instructions from Obama “to stay open to all opinions” and appeared to have been briefed on Jodie Evans’ position on the war.

    The Office of Public Engagement, formerly known as the Office of Public Liaison, was rebranded by the Obama administration under its boss, Obama crony Valerie Jarrett. But it maintains its traditional purpose of serving as the link from the president to base constituencies. It would not be unusual for the White House to try to mollify a core constituent group after taking a policy decision that would upset that group. However, when that group is an agent of influence for state sponsors of terrorism and terrorist groups, the White House should be calling the FBI, not coordinating with the group to undermine the president’s war policy.

    In Jodie Evans’ retelling of the conversation, there is no mention of Jayne asking for Code Pink’s understanding of Obama’s public position of Afghanistan being the good war, just the White House wanting to work with Code Pink to make sure Code Pink’s treasonous message is effectively heard.

    Instead, Jodie Evans bluntly tells Jayne that Obama doesn’t believe in his own announced policy, observing that “he didn’t have the courage to be in his own body as he delivered (the West Point speech.)”

    Given the way Jodie Evans describes the phone call, it’s doubtful that Jayne is privy to the inside-outside game that Barack Obama and Jodie Evans are playing with the war. It appears someone higher up in the Office of Public Engagement provided Code Pink Jayne’s EOP.gov e-mail address to direct the e-mail letters. That would explain Jodie Evans’ bossy attitude in telling Jayne how to better manage her inbox when Jayne asked that e-mails be sent to another address because they were making it hard for her to do her job.

    “There is nothing I can do,” I told Jayne, “but maybe in your email program you could create a folder they all go to. I assume your system is that sophisticated.”

    Jodie Evans says she ended the conversation with Jayne by asking her to relay a message to Obama:

    “I asked Jayne to thank the President for waking the sleeping giant and assured her that we will do all we can to make sure he does not get the money from Congress to escalate this senseless war.”

    Barack Obama and Jodie Evans are progressive ideological soulmates. Just because they have a public disagreement over the war on terror, doesn’t mean they don’t share the progressives’ goal of a weakened United States, subservient to the global socialist movement.

    A generation ago, Obama’s scheming with Jodie Evans and Code Pink to undermine the war effort would be considered an impeachable offense. Whether it is for this wartime generation remains to be seen.

    Barack Obama has nothing to do with this ornament neither does the White House Historical Association. This is just some company selling some Christmas ornaments. Anyone can use the president’s image on a product if they want to. This article is a total lie.
