Look in the Mirror, Start With Yours

Barack. You asked. Here’s your answer–you can start by helping kick your own ass. Lord knows BP is already chewing off chunks on their own.
In case you have been locked in a cave the last couple of hours surely you have heard this clip from Obama’s interview with NBC. (This is comedy gold).

Is it just me, or is Barack Obama channeling Steve Urkel? Now there is one tough motherfucker.
Following up on previous press inquiries about what Obama did to show he was upset, his team of juvenile nitwits came up with today’s gem. He wants to kick some booty.
You go, girl. Go get medieval on your ass.
(Patience, for your pleasure)
But wait, this ain’t the Barack Obama that Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter claims is running the show. In an excerpt from his upcoming literary version of full-blown fellatio, Alter reports on how Obambi tackled the Afghanistan issue:
Obama’s approach in the meetings was the same as always. He was, according to one participant, “clear-eyed, hardheaded, and demanding.” . . .
On the day after the London speech, McChrystal was summoned to Copenhagen to meet with Obama, who was trying—and failing—to lure the Olympics to Chicago. They talked alone for 25 minutes while Air Force One sat on the tarmac. It was only the second time the two had met since McChrystal took over in June. The president wasn’t happy, but he held his temper in check, as usual. By this time the White House had concluded that McChrystal was simply in over his head in the media world, a pawn in Mullen and Petraeus’s game. . . .
In a cold fury Obama said he wanted to know “here and now” if the Pentagon would be on board with any presidential decision and could faithfully implement it. “This was a cold and bracing meeting,” said an official in the room. . . .
It wasn’t a secret that someone in the military would likely have been fired had Biden been president. But the vice president admitted to other advisers that it was better that Obama was in charge and showing more mercy toward the Pentagon. The generals thought they were working him over, Biden said privately, but the president had the upper hand. He was a step ahead of them, and as much as some of them thought they had obliterated the July 2011 deadline for beginning a withdrawal, they were mistaken.
When he spoke to McChrystal by teleconference, Obama couldn’t have been clearer in his instructions. “Do not occupy what you cannot transfer,” the president ordered. In a later call he said it again: “Do not occupy what you cannot transfer.” He didn’t want the United States moving into a section of the country unless it was to prepare for transferring security responsibilities to the Afghans. The troops should dig wells and pass out seeds and all the other development ideas they had talked about for months, but if he learned that U.S. soldiers had been camped in a town without any timetable for transfer of authority he wasn’t going to be happy.
Remember when you were little? Did you ever try to wear your Mom’s high heels or trudge around in your Dad’s top coat? You know, playing dress up. Pretending to be an adult. Thinking that if you could wear their clothes you could be big and mature?
Well, sad to say, Barack Obama is still playing dress up and does not have a clue. Worse, he is surrounded by advisors who apparently believe that they can put contrived words and gestures into Barry’s mouth and he will magically become a tough guy.
Someone needs to remind Barack Obama that he was elected President and is supposed to act like he knows what he is doing even when he doesn’t. Instead, he once again reminds us that he is a fucking buffoon.
UPDATE–Instead of kicking ass, Obama pulls out a nifty wrestling move. Let’s call it “kinder, gentler” ass kicking. He puts on a sleeper hold and takes the girl out.
Jim Croce would be laughing his ass off at Barack:
That’s right, “He’s bad, bad, Barack O, badest clown . . .
