What President Is Obama Like?
by Big Dog on Mar 5, 2009 at 05:20 Political
We have heard references to Lincoln who I heard is Obama’s favorite president. Obama swore in on Lincoln’s Bible, which was purchased the day of his [Lincoln’s] inauguration because he did not have his family Bible. I have heard the comparisons to FDR and given that Obama has spent a trillion dollars to pay off political favors I would say that he is like FDR except he spent a hell of a lot more. I have compared Obama to Carter because he is doing some of the things Carter did that hurt us for a long time. But I think Obama has demonstrated that he is more like Richard Nixon right about now.
Obama is following in Nixon’s footsteps in that he has an enemies list consisting of people in the media. Before some liberal gets his panties in a bunch, it only has to be a list committed to memory, not written down. However, since Obama’s henchmen have been plotting to go after one of these people since the latter part of last year, I think it is safe to say that this is a tactic and not a passing fancy.
The people on the list, so far, are Jim Cramer, Rick Santelli, and Rush Limbaugh. It would seem that every time a personality on radio or TV has something to say about The Evil One, that person is called out by the petty players in the White House.
Limbaugh is on the list because the Democrats think they can make a case that he leads the Republican party and that he wants America to suffer financial ruin. None of this is true and the Democrats are taking him out of context. They think they can get the best of him but he can gin up quite a bit of support for a lot of things.
Limbaugh will make them look like fools when all is said and done. The White House is all bluster and even though nobody messes with Joe and Obama, the metrosexual, talked tough about being ready for a fight nothing could be farther from the truth. Obama plays Chicago politics and would rather have someone cap you in an alley than confront you head on.
Limbaugh has already fired a response salvo. He challenged Obama to a debate at his studio, on his radio program, at a time convenient for Obama. Rush offered to send his private jet for Obama, send a caravan of SUVs to pick him up, put him up in a 5 star hotel and to have that $100 a pound steak Obama likes flown in. Limbaugh said he would foot the bill for it all so that it cost no taxpayer money (except obviously the routine expenses like Secret Service) if Obama would come to debate him.
Limbaugh made a good point when he said that if Obama debates and wins he will have the country to himself. Of course, I doubt Obama could debate Limbaugh in the arena of ideas and even come close to winning. This would be especially true since Limbaugh said just you and me. No advisors, no teleprompters, no note cards, no nothing but the two of them.
There is no way Obama will accept this offer. He knows he has more to lose than to gain. Yes, he would have the country in his hand if he won but if he lost he would be toast. By doing nothing he stays above the fray (well, he does that anyway by having his henchmen do the assaulting) and he does not have to worry.
I think it was a tactical blunder for the Obama folks to directly attack people in the media, especially Rush Limbaugh. When this is all said and done Limbaugh will have made them look foolish as he has done time and again.
Anyway, all the talk about who Obama is like is moot now. With his enemies list he is like Nixon.
Barack Milhous Hussein Obama.
Wonder if he has the place bugged…

You mentioned Rick Santelli but then moved on to Windbagh. There is a reason Rick Santelli may be on the bad side of the Obama administration. He has no credibility yet he won’t shut up. Take this chart for example.
Yes, Rick. The economy is SO healthy. Now stop talking.
I like how Bob Cesca put it over at Huffington Post:
As I recall, Obama brought up Rush.
Obama is a fool if he thinks he can win.
And yes, Carville admitted they started this plan back in October. Just like he did when Clinton was president.
Woops, forgot the link.
I’m not so sure that Rush The Drug Addict Limbaugh should be debating Obama. If an anal cyst is enough to get him out of serving the country he claims to love, then I don’t know if he is healthy enough to be debating a president. And with all of his drug use, I doubt he is as healthy now as he was when he dodged the draft.
The funny thing is, Limbaugh was addicted to prescription drugs, something that can happen to anyone and often does. But he should be able to hold his own against Obama who used ILLEGAL drugs quite often. The irony of you criticizing someone for a drug problem when you bow down to Obama and ignore his.
The cyst is a disqualifying factor for the military. But it is interesting this is an issue to the people who excused Clinton’s deliberate dodge of the draft. He had absolutely no disqualifying factor and dodged the draft. You guys said that did not matter.
Your moral high ground on both issues is not there.
The funny thing is he illegally obtained prescription drugs. This is a crime. The irony is that Big Dweeb is good with someone abusing oxycontin as an adult, but dead set against someone using marijuana and cocaine a few times as a teen. I’ll add drugs to the growing list of topics on which Dog is clueless.
Once again you are too stupid to see.
Number one, I have a great deal of experience on drug use and treatment. I have certainly taken care of enough people who have problems.
He originally obtained them legally. No one ever proved he did anything other than doctor shopping which is not buying them on the street. Was it wrong, yes. However, people get hooked on drugs that were prescribed all the time.
You guys dismiss the Kennedys and all the other lefties who need rehab and pick on Limbaugh who beat the addiction. Thought you all were down with that stuff.
As for Obama, a few times????
Get real. The bas**rd stayed stoned.
I have no doubt that you have a great deal of experience with drug use. Your mindless posts prove as much.
I pick on Limbaugh because he has such mean spirited things to say about drug users (like when he called Jerry Garcia “another dead doper”), when it turns out that he himself was a drug addict. I know you’re not too bright, but don’t you see the hypocrisy here?
I have experience treating people who take drugs. I told you before I have never taken illegal drugs. I see lots of hypocrisy like from liberals who protest for abortion because it is a woman’s right to choose to murder her kid and then they protest to save a murderer from the death penalty because life is precious.
I have seen the spokesperson for MADD get a DUI. I have seen preachers who talk about being faithful get caught in an affair, and I have seen a local politician who wanted all kinds of punishment for people who got arrested for DUI because they were getting over on some aspect of the law lawyer up and tell his wife not to speak and then use the loophole when she was arrested for DUI.
What I have seen are human beings who have made mistakes.
You know I am not too bright? Coming from a guy who takes an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes…..
I’ve seen the Treasury Secretary that Obama nominated and backed full force give a speech about “cracking down on tax cheats” and I’ve seen The One Himself give numerous speeches on fiscal responsibility…
Although, Big Dog, I heard a good point the other day. Liberals want to shred conservatives when they do the slightest thing wrong because they know we live by our standards, so when one of us messes up, we might as well be damned to Hell. But when a liberal messes up, there was no standard there to begin with – ethics, morality, all of it was already out the window, so they don’t even recognize the assinine hypocrisy in their own lives and their own political party.
It’s sad, really. I wouldn’t switch sides to save my life.
What’s the reason to dispute what the president Obama is like. I think that time will show us and whatever a man he is we hope that he will manage to keep US on its democracy way, as to save from financial crisis. 😉
Alex,
The left has been comparing him to the other presidents. I merely point out he is more like Nixon.
We have a Republic, not a Democracy.
And Obama will not save us. His spending will prolong the agony. This would be improving within the next few months if we had done nothing.
Considering the economy tanked when Obama was even or slightly behind in the polls and that the huge run on the bank was mysterious, maybe we should investigate who was behind it.
Big Dog…I like the way you think. Keep posting!!!!
Mangey- “slightest thing wrong”…
Meth-fueled gay sex between a preacher whose sermons demonized homosexuality and a prostitute?
A repuke Congressman who preyed on teenaged boys, sending them sexually suggestive texts and emails?
A “family values” CONservative Senator who was a client of a DC prostitution ring?
These examples are more than just “slightly” wrong. If the perps happened to be Democrats, you people wouldn’t discount their actions as you do with these perverts. It’s sad, really. And we don’t want your ignorance on our “side”.
Here is where you are wrong Bunny.
Most folks on the right call for the removal of these kinds of people. We can’t affect those in private business but I don’t know any Conservative who said Foley should stay.
I wrote about it several times. What I did not agree with was the fact that the opposition lied about the person’s age. He was 18. Also, Democrats (all politicians) knew about the complaints pages had about Foley since 2001. They waited until the midterm election of 2006 to make an issue of it.
They put their political ambitions above the welfare of the pages.
And there have been male Democrats who actually had sex with boys and were applauded by their peers.
Was not the Senator a client before he was in office? Not that it matters in the over all scheme but did he do it in office?
Also, we believe that all of them regardless of party should follow the rules or be removed.
The left has a different set of rules depending on what letter is next to the name of the offender.
“And there have been male Democrats who actually had sex with boys and were applauded by their peers.”
Let me get this straight, there are Democratic Senators and/or Congressmen who “applauded” other Democratic politicians having sex with boys? By “boys” do you mean males under 18yo? Please Dog, I beg you. Provide us all with some links to this juicy tale. I’m only thinking about how it could get any more bizarre. Maybe if the “Democrat” preached intolerance of gays or voted yes on anti-gay legislation? This sounds like a real blockbuster, Big [Redacted]! Hook us up with a link or two yo!
Not are, were as in “have been”
From Camille Paglia:
The Wikipedia entry on Studd’s life.
“Also, Democrats (all politicians) knew about the complaints pages had about Foley since 2001. They waited until the midterm election of 2006 to make an issue of it.”
Hmmm. Should the Dems have waited for the pervert’s own party (the one that controlled Congress at the time) to “make an issue of it”? Maybe [Redacted] would have eventually brought it up. Yeah, good thinking Doggie! You should teach political science.
[Redacted] would have eventually brought it up- after he was done tanning.
