Before getting to MORE Lady M news, I should address Big Guy’s decision to reject the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline as there’s been quite a fuss about it, and I just don’t think we’re getting our message out on why he rejected it.
He didn’t want to kill a project that may, by some estimates, create 200,000 trickle down jobs, butt the Republicans made him do it. With their ridiculous demand that he make a decision in just 60 days, he really had no choice. Making big, important decisions like that “right now!” is just irresponsible – only a fool would demand that kind of turnaround on such an important decision.
“The rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by Congressional Republicans prevented a full assessment of the pipeline’s impact, especially the health and safety of the American people, as well as our environment,”
After all, there are significant implications connected with the approval of such a huge pipeline project (i.e. thousands of jobs, jobs jobs!, increased oil supply by hundreds of thousands of barrels/day, reduced oil dependency on the Middle East). And we all know that the rule of unintended consequences is far more likely to result in bad outcomes if you force someone to make a premature decision on a significant issue. Take Obamacare for example; why, we’re still finding out what all is in there!
Plus, if we’d spent a little more time analyzing the 5-minute Solyndra Solution to the energy problem, maybe we wouldn’t how ended up with all that egg on our face.
Yep, everything looks good to me, boys! Let’s build ‘em.
So, forcing BO to respond in such a tight timeframe - when his schedule is already crammed full of campaign events - was not just irresponsible, it was inconsiderate as well. It looked like nothing more than payback on the part of the petulant R-words. Just because Big Guy gave the do-nothing Congress less time to deal with his unwritten Jobs Bill ( “Pass this Bill right now!”) was no excuse for them to try to force his hand on this critical decision.
Besides, Big Guy is the PRESIDENT for crying out loud. And they’re just the do-nothing Congress we’re running against. We really had to show them who’s in charge.
So if you think Big Guy was just pandering to his Green Coalition you are mistaken. His peevishness goes well beyond that.
Now, on to the big news of the day: another cover to add to Lady M’s collection!

What a piece of work. I mean really, what a piece of work that photoshop is.
ReplyDeleteMoochelle was never POOR as a girl. Her father was a well-connected UNION Chicago man. They were not Working-Class ever!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, MOTUS, as ever. You are truly amazing. Thanks for all you do!
But...but..but, she didn't have a trust fund like those other kids.
ReplyDeleteWhoever photoshopped that deserves an award. I think they were trying to make her look like Malia!
ReplyDeleteYou can read a little of the article on More's website. Quick, get me the barf bag! She wants to open "secret trapdoors that were nevr shown to her" to a group of high school girls. She's going to mentor them. Can her ego get any bigger? And I'm sorry, the picture on the cover is not her. They must have had a body double stand in for those photos. Or they've been airbrushed within an inch of their life.
ReplyDeleteWhoever photoshopped this WONder Woman for MORE mag should definitely get some kind of award...How DID they turn the Mooch into Mary Tyler Moore/Marlo Thomas, anyway? Must have taken a team of a hundred or so....cutting out the waist shape, straightening her hair/teeth/nose/eyes....replacing her linebacker shoulders with delicate starlet ones....Maybe instead of a huge award, the photoshoppers should get jail time for misrepresentin' . Just sayin', y'all!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Way too perfect because we know what she really looks like.
ReplyDeleteI hope this pipeline decision is the nail in his coffin. I read hundreds of comments on it yesterday on a nuetral site - Yahoo - and everyone was pissed. We have thousands of miles of pipeline already covering that aquaduct and not as high tech as this one would be. They have spent 3 freakin years on this and he blames the repubs? Sorry Charlie - not going to buy this B.S. **And you all are right - photoshop award of the year goes to More or less magazine.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add - he is going to FOUR fundraisers tonight! Desperado.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord! How much fakery they can sell us! Maybe they mean that Photoshopping is the "new way to age"!
ReplyDeleteThe photoshopping and a very strange camera angle to try to make her look slim. I am so glad that they made her cover up, though.
ReplyDeleteWhy are they trying to sell MO? to overcome the negative press and opinion of the American people.
ReplyDeleteWhen her FatKidsBehind program came to be hated almost as much as BO's Obamacare, the MSM and the WhiteHouse realized they had a lot of bad press to overcome...hence....the fawning, lying crap on TV and in print.
Their PR campaign is not working, but creating the opposite effect of making the Obama's look and sound ridiculous and phony. We laughed at the Target-shopping-spree, and the BestBuy-Christmas run because the Obamas can't keep from showing their true elitist selves. Lavish vacations, eating at high-end restaurants and designer duds for MO and her daughters belie the "just folks" mantra they want us to believe.
They fooled us once, but now our eyes are open.
I guess next month's magazine will feature a spread featuring Ann Romney who has MORE children, MORE class, MORE comfort with being a political spouse and much MORE poise as she conveys an inner peace despite having Multiple Sclerosis. Now Mitt is not my first choice butt fair is fair and we all know how much the wons are into fairness. :*
ReplyDeleteAccording to Dems, subway extension in CA (1.7 miles-$1b from US gov) will create 43,000 jobs:

But dispute that the 1700 mile pipeline will create 22,000 jobs.

Ha ha ha! Her nose on the cover of the mag looks gigantic.
ReplyDeleteSeems like she's trying REALLY hard to not look angry. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such baloney. She attended a magnet school in high school, getting the best education possible. And she was treasurer (hmm) on the student body council. What trap doors???
ReplyDeleteShe wasn't some poor kid who didn't know how to navigate the world. She wasn't very pretty and wore her hair like a fright so may not have been as popular as she wanted to be but she was no deprived, left out violet. One of the stories about her high school years mentions she had to take a longbus trip to get to the school. Oh the humanity!
Based on the truthfulness of the article, she displaying all the signs of Pinocchio, so it is to be expected, Odumbass is not much better. grumblemumblesassafrassinggitofashedog
ReplyDeleteSecret trapdoors?
ReplyDeleteGee, I was young once, too. Where were those trap doors? Who had the secrets? Why were they never shown to me? I was white! I shoulda been shown!
Is this why I'm not rich today?
We know there's another half to that body. Way to go overboard, More.
ReplyDelete<span>Ya know, when Ace wants somethin' he does his pee-pee dance until it's done or dead.

ReplyDeleteOh, ew.
"secret trapdoors"
ReplyDeleteWe voters will show MOO and Barry the trapdoors that lead right out of the White House.
moo a fashion icon??? LOL!!! in that silver dress for the 1000th time it looks like she forgot her bra?? when she wore that yellow outfit to dance before those young kids that was the most despicable,classless thing a first lady ever did. she was shaking her big hips around like an old stripper.
ReplyDeleteMO is running for The Senate seat from Illinois in 2016. If the "MORE" cover is any indication, she'll be a blonde hair blue eyed White person by then.
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside folks, Affirmative Action musloid psychopath, Baraq Hussein, wouldn't recognize a job if it slapped him in the face.
I'd say another two-thirds of the body.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent point concerning the genius Obama. "We Can't Wait" indeed..an opportunity for jobs and domestic energy independence denied by the guy whose #1 priority is both of those issues (among sending birthday cards to Zooey Deschanel, and 35 other things). And then to have the audacity to blame Republicans for his 'do-nothingness'. Oh..how I despise the boy-king.
ReplyDeleteIf you go through the secret trapdoor, do you end up in Narnia like you do when you go through the wardrobe? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all fantasy all the time.

Unprecedented photoshopping.
ReplyDeleteMore Magazine must mean: More Photoshopping and More Air-Brushing, stat!
ReplyDeleteNewt's being bashed because he wanted an open marriage.
Not a peep about Barry and The Beard.
Secret trap doors? It's like the feminist movement, civil rights, and Oprah never happened.
ReplyDeleteDidn't anyone tell her that there are more women than men in college, and that affirmative action provides a big hands-up in college and in getting a job, and that a very accomplished African-American woman, who founded her own media empire, has topped the Forbes list of the most powerful entetrtainers for years? Find a new path to trailblaze, lady!
On Jan 10th - only a week before this disastrous Keystone decision - he addressed EPA employees and said:
ReplyDelete"When we put in place new common-sense rules to reduce air pollution, we create new jobs building and installing all sorts of pollution-control technology,”
So it's the EPA who is a job-creater, not private business. Riiiiight.
Maybe his next job creation idea with involve having government employees go around breaking windows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window
More likely that they'll give her the Palin treatment and do tabloidy cover stories in People magazine. They've already dug up juicy dirt on Gingrich (ex-wife interview) and Santorum's wife (past relationship w/an abortionist). They're bound to find something from her past that they can spin like the dickens to make her look bad.
ReplyDeletePersonally I am thankful for the schmall things.....she has schleeves and you cant see her greasy thunder thighs !! :-P
ReplyDeleteI posted this at Newsbird, butt it's too good not to pass on....
ReplyDeleteHee, hee…Hollywood is not happy with BOBS’ stance on SOPA…not another dime!
“One of those events is a major January 31st fundraiser attended by First Lady Michelle Obama at the Beverly Hills home of Avant and Sarandos. There’s another LA fundraiser for the First Lady on February 1st. And both President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be coming for more fundraisers here in coming weeks. The moguls are telling Avant and Sarandos to count them out.

Sad thing is, there must be a lot of people out there who buy this schtick. They don't pay attention, notice, or even realize they are being bamboozled by all forms of the media and they probably don't care. Too bad they can't photoshop or airbrush the attitude and personality that makes her soooo not beautiful. Talk about extreme makeover, butt only on paper! With More you get less of MoocHelle.

ReplyDeletePresident Obama - now that you've destroyed the country's economy, its standing as a world power, and created a misery index that's eclipsed former President Carter's - what do you do now?
ReplyDeleteI'm goin' to DISNEYLAND!!!!!
His peevishness goes well beyond that.

ReplyDeletehttp://hotair.com/archives/2012/01/19/gingrich-that-obama-visit-to-disney-world-is-kind-of-goofy-no/comment-page-1/#comments
CCG, that mirrors what I saw yesterday on the alphabet news sites. Comments were running 80/20 against Barry-O on this one.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest part of it is that the people who support him say it was okay to veto this job-builder because the jobs would only last for two years. Excuse me? The last time I looked, two years of employment beat two years of unemployment. Is there something I'm missing here?
I read they were closing down main street during BOo's time there. I wonder how many "average Americans" this displaced today. I have a feeling they weren't too happy about giving up their time to him.
ReplyDeleteLoved some of the comments. Someone posted when you wish upon a Czar!!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteThere were secret trap doors? Must not have been for caucasians. No wonder I had to struggle as I raised two children alone without welfare. Maybe if I had known about the trap doors we could have gone to Spain or Hawaii or The Vineyard for vacay's instead of camping trips. Maybe if they had told me about the other secrets, I could have driven a Caddie instead of my VW bug (although I did buy it brand new). Oh well, the kids turned out OK anyway...no drugs, no alcoholics, bums, abusers, etc., in the family...and most of all they have happy lives, and gave me beautiful, well behaved grandchildren. with lovely manners. I'm betting MO and BO won't be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteStill sporting the white stripe down the center of her nose. Blend, blend, blend...
ReplyDeleteDouble dose of Botox there...plus airbrushing and photoshopping.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice? In Narnia, even the most wretched brat is brought face-to-face with her sins and is transformed by the redemption of Aslan.

ReplyDeleteYeah, the virtual FLOTUS on the cover of that magazine is someone I could have agreed was an elegant, pretty FLOTUS. Too bad she doesn't exist outside of pixels.
ReplyDeleteShutting down one of the main tourist destinations in the US to speechify about tourism and jobs. Priceless. I'd have hated to be an ordinary family who'd saved up for a Disney vacation, only to be told that y'know, actual tourists weren't admitted that day.

ReplyDeleteNot a peep about Barry's homosexuality, or of the Clonton's open marriage, or the Kennedy's - it's a sham. At least Newt discussed it with her - and there are two sides to every story. A vindictive ex about Newt will back fire, watch.
ReplyDeleteWhoops - Clinton. Maybe I was subconsicously spelling "Clownton". Man I hated that dude when he was the prez.
ReplyDeleteGawd, I love you MOLs :*
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she plans to run for some office after the WH. Some are saying so. The mainstream media is putting her out there more than any other FLOTUS ever in my memory. It's just like in the restaurant when we have prepared way too much of a certain item...we say "Push, push, push the ...........!" I think they're trying to use her up before her expiration date.

ReplyDeleteI got home from choir practice tonight, DH was watching the debate, and he said IT'S HAPPENING. People were basically ignoring what was on the news about Newt today and giving him lots of applause.
ReplyDeleteSo does he want us to become one of those countries whose main revenue comes from tourism? No more drilling for oil, mining for gas, manufacturing - just hotel and restaurant workers (and federal workers, of course).
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine how he would react if he, for just one day, received the kind of prees treatment that Palin had in 2008?
ReplyDeleteLike, Libby, a trillion times a trillion times.
ReplyDeleteIf there were one thing I could blast all over the net, teevee, and billborads, it would be this pertinant question: why won't you obsess over Obama the way did you over Sarah Palin?
The answer is obvious: no one with any integrity works for the media.

Looks like they'll remain 'secret', if Obama plans to make them the 'most transparent' trapdoors evah! Will all secret trapdoors be posted for 72 hours before being voted on like The Won promised?
ReplyDeleteMight be able to talk Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas into that country. Just be sure to put up a fence and a strong border patrol along the California border. All the entitlement leeches from bankrupt CA will be jumping the border.
ReplyDeleteThat is wrong on so many levels. Oof.
ReplyDeleteYeah, creeper, that's great, isn't it? Libtards always think they know what's better for everybody by virtue of their staggering intellect. They're just trying to help after-all. "Only two years of work..we've decided that's not enough for you..". Just like I'm sure all those inner-city kids that might have made a few bucks in the future based on Gingrich's 'work at schools' plan have no idea how happy and grateful they should be to have the libs' defend them right out of opportunities. I once had a conversation with a 'compassionate' liberal that told me all of us Americans should get to go to college and just let the illegal aliens do all the menial labor. I guess to to be that smart means being excused from suggesting a 'slave' class and determining in your own little head what jobs everyone will have.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Libby. Make America a strictly 'service' economy. Think of the Utopian benefits that holds for the 'transformation' Party.
ReplyDelete-You don't need to be legal or even speak English to clean a bathroom
-The wages are pretty stagnant.
-Noone learns any of those pesky 'trade' skills, math and science are not necessary to bus a table...so much easier to keep the people down with a minimal education. Noone will call 'shenanigans' on Obama math if they can't do math.
-The Party elite will have an already existing underclass of servants for their dining and vacationing pleasure. very convenient.
-No real chance for advancement or accumulation of work knowledge, like going from apprentice to carpenter and the like.
-long hours, and service potentially removes that satisfaction or feeling of 'completion' at work because there is always laundry to do, beds to make, and dishes to wash. Could be beautifully disheartening to the 'working class'.
- like people I have known in 'service', their paychecks could be robbed down to a minimum, leaving the 'workers' to exist on tips and such. Therefore, relying on the magnanimity of the MO's of the world.
- Tourism reliance is a great excuse to be 'borderless'. Just think, importing a few thousand Pakistanis or Somalians could be considered job-creation.
Y'all are gonna need us Northies to help defend ya - we also make a mean bowl of chili.
