Obama; The Vote Whisperer
Nov 7, 2014 Political
Barack Obama did not learn much from the ass kicking his party took on Tuesday. That was to be expected because he learned nothing in 2010 when he took a similar ass kicking. The big difference between then and now is that the Republican party took control of the Senate giving it control of both chambers of Congress.
It is also not surprising that Obama would not get the point because he is a narcissist. It can’t possibly be because of him.
When he gave his post election press conference he seemed to gloss over the people that turned out to vote against him and his policies (he did say they were on the ballot) and instead looked at those who did not vote. He discussed the election from the point of view that more people voted when he was on the ballot as if that is some revelation. More people turn out during ALL presidential elections.
But Obama seems to think that those who did not turn out now but who did then still want him to take the path he has chosen. He seems to think that because they did not show up they still support him.
Let me make it easy for him. If they still supported you they would have gotten out and voted. They would have seen the polls, they would have paid attention and they would have voted to stop what happened from happening.
Instead they chose to stay home. Obama, always the narcissist, seems to think that he still has a mandate from those people to continue on the path he is on regardless of what just happened.
No Barry. If they wanted you to continue they would have shown up. They cared so little about you and your failed presidency they could not be bothered to vote.
Barry’s belief is that the mandate he thinks he has comes from the people who did not vote instead of those who vote. In other words, those who voted did not vote the way he wanted so he will just assume that those who did not vote would have done it his way. He is the vote whisperer who can channel the desires of those who did not vote.
What he needs is to have his ass spanked by the Republican controlled Congress. He needs to get bill after bill that he can pass or veto. Let the country see who the real obstructionist is.
And if he works outside of his Constitutional authority he needs to be taken to the woodshed.
I will put it to Barry in words he can understand and that he actually used in the past.
We won…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

The Obama Sequester End Game
Feb 27, 2013 Opinion
Barack Obama’s sequester is set to kick in on Friday and there appears to be no stopping it from taking place. This means that about 85 billion dollars will be cut from the growth in the budget (not the actual budget but what they said they would spend) and about 48 billion of that will come from the Defense Department. Obama and his Democrats could easily cut items that do not affect people but have chosen to cut where it will hurt the most. In the DOD 800,000 people will lose 20% of their salary when furloughs start at the end of April. This is being done to hurt people and there is a reason for it.
Obama wants people to hurt and he wants to pin the blame on Republicans. Obama came up with the sequester but he will put the blame on others.
No surprise there.
He wants voters to be angry with Republicans so they will be voted out in 2014 and Obama can have a majority in Congress. Then he can run roughshod over the country.
There is also another reason Obama chose to hurt people. He needs people to hurt so he can claim that cuts to government hurt people so there can be no more cuts and taxes have to be raised.
Imagine how bad it would be for Democrats if the cuts took place and no one noticed. Imagine how it would be portrayed if those cuts were so painless that people began demanding more in the way of cuts. That can’t be allowed to happen if you are a big government socialist like Obama. He needs people to get hurt so he can brainwash them into thinking big government is the answer and that there is no spending problem (after all, we need the spending to prevent people from being hurt) and that the problem is revenue.
Obama got his revenue increase and it is far above the amount of the looming cuts. The entire cut amounts to about 2.5 cents of every dollar of the projected spending. The government could easily cut 2.5% from spending (the growth in spending) and not even feel it.
That is why they are targeting people and programs that directly help people. Obama needs to inflict maximal pain to push his agenda.
This guy who so many believe cares for people is a cold and calculating political monster who cares nothing about anyone. He cares for his agenda and socialism and that is all.
So if you support him and his cuts hurt you then you got what you voted for and what you deserve. If you don’t support him and get hurt then you will have to suck it up and do the best you can.
Strong people will come through the other side intact. The weak will be worse off because their baby daddy in government is spanking them.
Deliberately harming people is wrong and the mark of a true beast.
Maybe someone in Congress can make one of the cuts the executive Air Force that ferries people like Obama and his vacation addicted wife around. Be kind of nice to see them stuck in DC actually having to do something.
Anyone with some testicular fortitude on the right side of the aisle willing to make this cut?
I doubt it. They will probably cave and give king dufus all that he wants.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama Finds Out Bush Was Right
Nov 18, 2009 Political
A few days after he was sworn into office, Barack Obama signed an Executive Order to close Gitmo in one year. The egotistical young man had this notion that it was an easy task and that it could be done within a year despite the fact that George Bush had tried for years to move the detainees out of the place. It was evident that Bush had trouble because the task is difficult.
Nonetheless, Obama the brazen decided to make good on a campaign promise and sign the EO to shutter the place. Now there is nothing wrong with trying to shut it down but it is obvious that he overestimated his ability when he put a timeline on the act.
Gitmo will NOT be shut down by Obama’s self imposed deadline. Obama, in a rare interview with Fox News, said he was not disappointed that his deadline had slipped and that he knew it was going to be hard. Keep in mind that Obama’s EO says that the facility will be closed in one year and contains disposition instructions for anyone remaining there at the end of that year.
The detention facilities at Guantánamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order. If any individuals covered by this order remain in detention at Guantánamo at the time of closure of those detention facilities, they shall be returned to their home country, released, transferred to a third country, or transferred to another United States detention facility in a manner consistent with law and the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. [emphasis mine]
So he knew it was going to be hard? Right, if he knew it would be hard he not have given himself a year to do it and he would not have pigeonholed himself with those specific disposition instructions. He is a calculating politician and he does not like to do things that cast him in a bad light. His problem is that he has such an elevated opinion of his ability that he is unable to accurately predict what will happen and when.
It seems as if he is finding out the hard way that it is real easy to claim that one will change the way things are done in DC but that doing it is actually not that easy. He anticipated that his charm would be able to get things done.
He is finding out that it is not as easy as he made it sound. If he had paid attention to Bush rather than bashing him for what was taking place he might have figured out that the task was difficult.
If he had then maybe he would not be admitting failure in his ability to carry out what he says he will do.

Actually Senator, Ma’am Is Fine
Jun 18, 2009 Political
Senator Boxer was questioning a General today and he kept answering her by using the word ma’am just liked he answered the males sir. Boxer did not like that and asked the General to call her Senator because she worked hard to get that title. Talk about petty little things and power complexes. The General was displaying courtesy and he was not inappropriate. Reminds me of COL Jessup in A Few Good Men. Address me as Colonel or Sir, I think I earned that.
“Could you say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am? It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I’d appreciate it.”
The general’s response? “Yes, Senator.” Politics Daily
She might prefer to be called Senator but the General did nothing wrong. The Army Training and Doctrine Command states that Sir or Ma’am is an appropriate form of address for a Senator:
How do I verbally address a Senator or Congressman or a Congressional staff member?
“Sir” or “Ma’am” works for most everyone, but more specifically —
House: Congressman or Congresswoman; Representative; Mr. or Ms., Sir or Ma’am
Senate: Senator, Sir, or Ma’am…
So it must have been an ego thing where Boxer had to let the General know who was in charge. Inside I know he had to be laughing at what must have appeared as a bloviating fool.
Someone commented that they should take that soundbite and use it in the commercial for whomever runs against her. They can ask questions and each time have her saying ‘call me Senator, I earned it.’
This was a prime display of an elitist mentality. It was also a display by a person who needs to be replaced.

Cold Shoulder vs In From The Cold
Mar 9, 2009 Political
Barack Obama gave the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom, Gordon Brown, the cold shoulder last week when the leader arrived in DC for his first visit to the Obama White House. Obama did not have the usual full blown press conference or state dinner and reluctantly held a small press conference and it looked like he was less than happy to be there. Brown gave Obama some well thought out gifts and his wife gave the Obama girls expensive clothing.
ME-chelle and the ME-ssiah gave less than stellar gifts. Barack gave the PM a 25 CD collection of American movies (were they in the format that will play in Britain) and his wife gave the boys model helicopters of Marine One (the kind you get in the White House gift shop). This is the way to treat the Prime Minister of our strongest ally?
The chattering class says that Brown is a big boy and will have to just get over it but it does beg a few questions. Did not the Democrats say that Bush ruined our standing in the world? Did not they tell us that they were going to improve our image and make us all friends once again? They claimed they would improve our image in the world but it seems to me they did more to harm our image than Bush ever did. At least George and Laura Bush knew how to be gracious hosts.
The Evil One claimed he was just too darn tired from the exhausting economic problems. The man who is young and full of life is too tired to be a proper leader and host? I guess Hillary was right. She should be the one to answer the phone at 3 am because Obama is too tired to get up to attend to it.
While Obama is wrecking our image in Europe he is working to improve it in Latin America by easing some of the travel and trade restrictions with Cuba. The efforts are seen as a first move in the eventual lifting of a trade embargo that has been in place for decades.
Barack Obama is shunning our free and democratic ally in Europe and at the same time working for closer ties with a Communist country led by a murderous dictator. Yeah, that makes sense.
I guess it won’t be long before Obama is hosting Castro (one of them) or is being hosted by them. I wonder what gifts he will shower them with. As an aside, it will be real interesting to see what kind of press conference he holds with Ahmadinejad when (not if) he is invited to the White House. I suggest a .45 caliber bullet but Obama will probably give him nuclear technology. Perhaps a few real helicopters.
The Brits are up in arms about the way their PM was snubbed (I guess they will have to get over it) and they are not too happy with Hopey Obama and his Klingon wife. They will be paying very close attention to see how people like Castro and Ahmadinejad are received at the White House (if in fact Castro is invited).
I was going to write that this is what happens when you send a boy to do a man’s job but then the race baiters would cry that it was a racist remark even though it is a common saying.
So I will just end by writing that Obama is an empty suit who has NO leadership experience and he is caught up in all the hype about him. He believes the stories of his greatness. The reality is, he is way out of his league.
He should have stuck with community organizing. Then again, he was a disaster at that as well.
Joe Biden, God love him, was the one who said that the White House was no place for on the job training.
That was when he wanted to be president. Now he is Obama’s dutiful lap dog.
