We Will Know You by the Friends You Keep

All around the country inquiring minds are asking: “Who is this president of ours, who has declared war on freedom of speech instead of on the Islamic terrorists who burned our embassy and killed our ambassador?”

To find out I would highly recommend Dinesh D'Souza's film (while it’s still available for viewing in this country) 2016.

Or you could read BO’s first autobiography, Dreams From My Father. He tells you in his own words:

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully.”

Friends practicing for their audition as “mainstream” advisors to the Preezy

Carefully chosen: ladies of the View, check. Prime Minister of Israel, not so much.

“The more politically active black students.”

Black liberation theologian, check. Black defender of the oppressed (e.g. New Black Panthers), check

“The foreign students.”

‘nuf said

“The Chicanos.”

Wise Latinas

“The Marxist professors”

“Boom Boom” Ayers, father of Educational Propaganda

Cass Sunstein: another constitutional scholar FOB’s who doesn’t believe in the Constitution 

(Cass is also husband of Samantha Power; another FOB and Senior Director of Multilateral Affairs and Hunan (reproductive) Rights.)

She qualifies on her own merits as a FOB and EOI (enemy of Israel).

“and structural feminists”

…and reproductive rights activist.

In summary then, if we are to define Big Guy by the friends he keeps I guess we’d have to say he’s a Marxist anti-Semitic Jihadist feminist. I don’t see how he can possibly lose to that Romney guy, do you?

NOTE: Raj switched my comment system from the NEW Disqus to the OLD version of Disqus because it appears that New D isn’t quite ready for prime time, even though it IS prettier (let that serve as a lesson: shiny and new, not necessarily better. Or even functional.). It looks different butt seems to work better with older versions of browsers and mobile devices. Please try it and let me know if it’s working for you.

Back with a real post later. For now, let’s review Drudge’s winking O’s and Obots: (h/t sowsear)

As well as a bonus round of some personal faves:

What ever do you suppose all these people have to wink about?

Hey Obama! Orwell called. He wants 1984 back.

Between tapings and fundraisers on Tuesday, Big Guy found time to go to the UN to condemn THE MOVIE that he blamed for Ambassador Steven’s death before he voted against blaming it. Unclear what his current position is.

'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' 1984

BO condemned THE MOVIE that wasn’t responsible for the embassy burning and murders by using his unique oratorical skill (i.e.,TOTUS) and employing one of his most affective stylistic flourishes: making it all about him:

“Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, [ed., news to Madonna, who like many others believe him to be a “Black Muslim”] and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs," he said.

"As President of our country, and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views--even views that we profoundly disagree with.

Big Guy is introduced to his personal empty chair at the UN General Assembly

“But in 2012, at a time when anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete.”

Right: not enough to control content, now we have to control the polling too

Oh! And you’ll be pleased to know that since she was already in New York for other important matters, Lady M went to listen to BO’s big read speech.

She was enraptured, just like the other ladies. At least the ones who remained awake.

Nearly everyone was impressed with Big Guy’s words to the delegation:

And now ladies and gentlemen, a few words from President Barack Hussein Obama’s empty chair!

Following the UN read speech, Big Guy again didn’t have time to meet with any of the world’s leaders as he had a prior commitment to appear at the Clinton Global Initiative to give another impassioned read speech. (Surely you didn’t think Big Dawg’s glowing nomination speech at the DNC came without strings? “Quid pro quo” is Bill’s middle name.)

Well look who’s here folks!

The central theme of BO’s CGI read speech revolved around the condemnation of human trafficking. What? Seriously? I’m not in favor of human trafficking or anything, butt seriously? This is the most critical topic in the world today? I guess I better start reading the New York Times more thoroughly, because I still thought it was Global Warming.

Meanwhile, back at the UN today, Ahmadinejad is expected to call for a New World Order. Guess he didn’t get the memo either. We’ve already got a New World Order, Mahmoud: get on board, bubbie.

With Big Bro and his empty chair looking at you, looking back at him looking at you – you can rest assured, “We are on correct path comrades”  (h/t Veretino)

"The past was dead, the future was unimaginable."  1984

 

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” 1984

"I've been told I'm just eye candy here."

I think Brit Hume’s tweet, following the Seattle Seahawk’s win over the Green Bay Packers on a blown call in the Monday night game, was uncalled for (and racist):

Did Mr. Hume not get the memo yesterday? Big Guy’s Job Number One is not JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!, ensuring fiscal responsibility or even foreign relations (I know, that last one surprised me too). He’s been officially self-promoted to the “eye candy” job.

I sure hope nobody tells Lady M, she still thinks that’s her job.

Oh my, you do look stunning in that Speedo!

I guess he’s just acknowledging what many people have secretly suspected from the start: he’s sweet.

        

And that’s a sure way to catch 'yerself some flies.

Butt come on, seriously, does this sound like the oratory of “eye candy” to you?

"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless.

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation . . . "

It does? Well then, why hasn’t anyone realized it until now?

Maybe it’s because of this.

Or this:

Yesterday we saw the undecided voters, today, we hear from those who have decided. Warning: this one’s NOT a SNL skit.

Wow! The real decided voters are actually scarier than the fake undecided voters. Only in America. Butt don’t blame the teachers unions. They’re just dupes, along with their students.

Butt back to our Nobel Peace Prize winner: Big Guy will be at the UN today, delivering a scathing read speech directed at film makers around the world the roots of Muslim rage (that would be free speech).

"There is no video that justifies an attack on an embassy. There is no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan."

Boy, that harsh condemnation is really going out on an election-year limb. You tell ‘em Big Guy! And while you’re there don’t forget to give Ahmadinejad a shout out for his plausible denial of the holocaust yesterday.

You ‘da man, Mahmoud!

It’s really too bad BO was busy taping the View with the ladies who ogle, and couldn’t be there to hear Mahmoud’s speech in person. Had he been, I’m sure he would have given our delegation permission to walk out too. Because after all, Mahmoud was dissing “one of our best allies in the region.”

"The world tells Israel 'wait, there's still time'. And I say, 'Wait for what? Wait until when?'"

Wait Bibi. Wait for the “eye candy” - blocking out all that noise - to speak softly to the Arab street.

 See no, hear no, speak no evil. Is that racist?

while they gather up all their big sticks.

Of course, that might result in “noise” that even the biggest hunk of eye candy on the planet won’t be able to ignore. It might even end our sugar high!

WTF 2012: I think we need a bigger magic wand

Can anybody tell me what’s up with the Biden’s anyway? First Joey,

“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Then, et tu, Dr. Jill? Gaffing about Joey’s, er, manhood?

Maybe this explains it,

“She makes me feel bad. She gets up at 6:30 in the morning and goes to a barre class, runs to it at 7 in the morning,” he said.

Although I must say if I was married to Joey I might consider a little hair of the dog in the morning too. I leave it to the shrinks to explain what this fascination with wood is all about, butt as you see, Joey is very complimentary of Big Guy’s too:

The Presidential putter:

Message to President Obama from Bibi: “Just because you carry a big stick, doesn’t mean you’ve got balls.”

…in which case, you should go play with the girls

Maybe all the wood-gaffes are just a reaction to Rush Limbaugh’s report on an Italian study documenting that the male mini-me is, on average, 10% smaller than it was just 50 years ago (!). Now, we know that Joey B is from the, um, full size generation; butt Big Guy (and I HOPE that moniker is still valid) is of the post “50” generation. I’m not sure what it all means exactly, butt I think I agree with Rush that size still matters.

Anyway, prior to his appearance on The View tomorrow, Big Guy was in Milwaukee over the weekend sucking on (what else?) a sausage

Is that a sausage or a Pacifier? Because I don’t think we really need a President hooked on pacifying, right Jimmy?

while acknowledging that being President is a long row to hoe (is that racist?):

"From the day I ran for this office last year -- er, four years ago, it seems like just last year -- I've always said change take more than one term, one president, one party,"

It’s always awkward to disagree with the President of the Free World, butt I should note a couple of things here: 1) he’s been running for this office since at least 2004, and re-running for this office since 2009; January 20, 2009 to be exact. And 2) no, Big Guy, it most assuredly does NOT seem like just last year.  Not to most of us.

Looks like a depression from here

Of course, he addressed other issues too, such as what it’s going to take to get us out of this ditch that George W. Bush drove us into:

We’ve always said in this campaign that change takes more than one term, it takes more than one President, it takes more than one party. 

The million dollar question is, how many people will agree with Big Guy on November 6 about it taking more than one President, more than one party, to get us out of this ditch.

Anyway, it wasn’t just BO delivering inspirational messages this weekend. You already saw how fabulous Lady M looked as she addressed the CBCF:

Butt beyond looking fab she delivered one of her high energy messages: Get out the vote, America! We can’t let those angry R-words suppress our voice:

“We cannot let anyone discourage us from casting our ballots. We cannot let anyone make us feel unwelcome in the voting booth.

 

 

It is up to us to make sure that in every election, every voice is heard and every vote is counted,”

 

“This is the movement of our era — protecting that fundamental right not just for this election, but for the next generation and generations to come,” Obama said.

 

Because your voice shouldn’t be silenced by death.

“Because in the end, it’s not just about who wins, or who loses, or who we vote for on Election Day.”

You look old enough to vote, do you know your alphabet yet? Do you see the letter “D”?

And remember, we don’t care who you vote for, as long as you vote Democratic.

So, go ahead. Ask all the questions you need answers to in order to help you make up your mind to vote for our Democratic brain trust:

The Air is Electric: WTF? Is it something we said?

Osama is dead, and GM is alive!

So declared Joey B, our most senior foreign relations expert next to BO himself. Of course the full import of his comment depends a lot on what your definition of “dead” is:

Tunisian Salafis, raising the dead in order to fight another day.

Dateline: Occupied Kashmir. Protestors send message: "Obama! We are all OSAMA"

Of course “GM is alive” also depends on what your definition of “alive” is:

Currently on life support, thanks to Obamacare

“Nearly two years after the introduction of the path-breaking plug-in hybrid, GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds, according to estimates provided to Reuters by industry analysts and manufacturing experts.”

Butt thanks to the application of government mathemagicals to the formerly free market of auto production, GM is still able to post some pretty impressive quarterly statistics! Not as impressive as our unemployment rate, butt pretty good nevertheless.

And they’re doing it the old fashioned way: by losing a little bit on every sale and making it up in volume. At least that’s the plan. And heck, it must be working because GM’s bond ratings are nearly as good as the US Treasury’s now!

So it’s no wonder Big Guy’s government “is reluctant” to divest of its remaining 27% share of GM: they’re doing better than the Fed.

That, and the fact that – even with government accounting standards – the Fed would have to book a huge loss on their “investment” if we let GM buy back their shares. Right before the election? What do they think we are, Amateurs?

Besides, if we ever let GM get their company back, we have it on good authority they would stop making those electric albatrosses that are losing $49,000 per-car. And how would that make Big Guy look? After all, he was the first American President who vowed to put a fossil fuel industry out of business. Dropping the Volt might make him look weak, right before the election. And we can’t have that.

Obama eats fries and Free Speech dies

Butt don’t worry, if giving the Volts away doesn’t work, we’ve got another plan up our sleeve to ensure death to Big Oil and Big Coal:

The Volt is like a rolling lesson in the utter folly of command economics.  Government, at both state and federal levels, is flagrantly abusing its power to incentivize purchases, in a manner that would have anti-business liberals howling at the Moon if it were employed to push a product that doesn’t meet their ideological approval.  And it’s still not enough – GM can’t sell enough Volts to keep the factory running year-round.  What’s left?  Well, how about a nice “tax penalty” for everyone who refuses to buy a Volt?  Thanks to the John Roberts ObamaCare decision, the government can do that.

So let that serve as a further reminder: Never send an Amateur to do a pro’s job. Because things can go to hell pretty fast once you undermine all the rules designed to maintain order.

Butt don’t take my word for it:

Ask Jimmy Carter.

NOTE: Oh dear! How could I have forgotten? Lady M was keynote speaker at the Phoenix Dinner at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation 42nd Annual Legislative Conference last night.

Butt seriously, how many pictures of MO’s fabulously toned guns in a one-shouldered full length gown with a boob belt do you need to see?

And BTW, tickets still available if you’re anywhere in the vicinity of Princeton this morning! We’ve had some unexpected cancellations so you can still get a reasonably priced ticket ($2,000 -10,000) for which you’ll get to see Lady M from afar and enjoy all the juice, coffee and bagels you want. Just thought you’d like to know.
