This one goes out to Brooks, Parker, Frum and company!
Is Main Street starting to figure it out?
It’s hard not to see* the continued sell-off on Wall Street and the growing fear on Main Street as a product, at least in part, of the realization that our new president’s policies are designed to radically re-engineer the market-based U.S. economy, not just mitigate the recession and financial crisis.
[Commentary] Martin KozlowskiThe illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents — John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance — President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter’s higher taxes and Mr. Clinton’s draconian defense drawdown.
*Some people are very gifted this way, though. (h/t Gerry G.)
A little Rule 5: Dem politician takes campaign money from a broad.
Republican at dirty socialist NPR:
“If we lived under a parliamentary political system, an ideologically pure party that could get 30 percent of the vote would be a player,” Ayres says. “But in the United States you need to get 50 percent plus 1 — and ideological parties lose.”
“Michael Steele knows that,” he said.
Hate to break this news, but Obama’s Democrats are an ideological party.
Made for radio: R. Stacy McCain on G. Gordon Liddy’s show today.
We are sorry we elected a dirty little socialist idiot.
C’mon Dan…
O! was only doin’ it for the mau-mau’s…
I mean, he’s gotta keep the faith with his brothers in the motherland, right..?
Unless of course one of them happens to be, you know, his actual brother; although he wants to spread all of our wealth aroung, both here and abroad, he can’t even let that poor, destitute, fellow hold a little sumpin’-sumpin’…Even though $100 dollars would set him up in fine stead for the entire year!
Are we not our brothers keepers..? Shouldn’t we sacrifice to serve others..? Both are paraphrases of O!s pronouncements…
Just Words!?!
O!
Well, he’d better watch out how he puts these things. Someone might misinterpret him.
Dear Britons,
Sorry, but Obama’s just not that into you.
RACISTS !!!
Good one Carin.
I don’t think it’s rational to compare the current inhabitant of the WH to any of the previous residents. He’ll make Carter look like Edmund Burke and Clinton look like Pope John Paul by the time he’s through fucking over people like me and you. What do you tell your kids?
That’s nice, dear, hurry up and finish eating your dog?
“A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person.” – Michelle O.
It’s at this point that Obamabot trolls will wave a finger at the polls and say “lookie lookie His Hopeyness has grand approval ratings”
which really goes to the Royal Image that Barry and M’chelle have been carefully crafting. That aroma of Devine Destiny puts up a thick layer of denial for the peasants that are so emotionally invested in the Hope!Change! The One loves us, LOVES us and wants the BEST for us…. the bad things happening are not his fault! NO NO NO
It gets really ugly when the scales fall off … but we aren’t there yet. It remains to see how far Obama can fundamentally change America in the midst of the downward spiral before his acolytes become disillusioned with His shiney suit. This is the reason O is working so fast to slash the military and nationalize healthcare.
Sorry Brits, we won’t be able to swing the 60b for your exports this year. We’re poor now. Enjoy Long Kiss Goodnight! That Samuel L. Jackson’s got it goin’ on!
Is it possible those approval ratings polls were conducted face-to-face by large black men?
Sorry that the current occupants of the racist half-White House have so little class or tact.
Brooks is already pussying out
Brooks said:
An example of Rahm Emanuel’s sophisticated, fact-based, friendly persuasion:
What Emanuel did after that:
After serving as an advisor to Bill Clinton, in 1998 Emanuel resigned from his position in the Clinton administration. He then became an investment banker at Wasserstein Perella (now Dresdner Kleinwort), where he worked until 2002. In 1999, he became a managing director at the firm’s Chicago office. Emanuel made $16.2 million in his two-and-a-half-year stint as a banker, according to Congressional disclosures.
It pays to be in politics! Even better than Pajamas Media Jeff.
David Brooks is a tool:
Bullshit bullshit bullshit.
Sorry, Britons.
And, consider yourself lucky this isn’t 1941!
1400 extra in home energy costs = $27.00/week
$1 extra in gas at 10 gal/week = $10.00/week
Family gets $13 tax credit hoax – $13.00/week
Plan only costs average American $24.00/week more.
“That’s the change they need Houston”
The White House apologizes,
Dear Gordo,
Nice little country you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it now wouldn’t it?
O!
I’d bet Obama himself is somewhat surprised at how easily he has fooled such vast numbers of people.
Hiding still what he must about himself, even to this day, he’s got to have that occasional jolly inner celebration of his talented put-over on the teeming rubes, so trusting, so simple. They are such fools that they haven’t yet figured it out, may never figure it out, in fact! That accomplishment alone is almost victory enough.
Pah! Put it away Barack, there’s work yet to be done.
Never waste a good crisis…
Well there goes my 4 oz Wagyu each Saturday.
Heard the other day:
How do we know that Obama isn’t Jesus?
Jesus could put together a cabinet.
I sorta don’t get all the Marine 1 controversy – that smells more like a rookie mistake.
Now, sending back the bust of Sir Winston, and the casual meeting between O and Brown (what do the US and England have in common, besides the fact that we’re a former colony? Our leaders are both Brown!) is a much larger deal. I think Carin’s got it just right. Which is funny, you know, since Euros love us (supposedly) since we elected this new president, and one of his first foreign policy acts is to alienate our closest European ally.
I still hate the price America is having to pay, but I’m rather guiltily enjoying the schadenfreude.
OKay, it wasn’t a POLICY act, per se, but foreign relations.
Who does this character remind you of?
Review of Watchmen
one Alan Moore, is a paranoid left-winger
I’d characterize Moore’s position as “a pox on all their houses”, myself.
I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that?
>>he’s got to have that occasional jolly inner celebration of his talented put-over on the teeming rubes
In front of the mirror with his balls tucked, like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs
I still marvel at their audacity to call $13 a week some kind of meaningful tax cut.
Now, now, JD. Save that up for a few years and you can buy a nice pair of earrings.
Oh. Moore’s V for Vendetta was essentially different from the movie in that a radical Left government had previously destroyed the economy and led the world into a war, wherein the ashes were picked up by a far Right government. V was really just a Restoration kind of story in that sense.
The $13/week is still taxed as income.
In both senses of the word cabinet too.
That was a good one.
Moore has a long (and as far as I know, unblemished) history of demanding that his name be removed from movies alleged to be based on his work. V for Vendetta and Watchmen are not exceptions.
He won’t even take the money.
That said, I’m going to go see Watchmen this afternoon.
$13 barely buys one large breakfast, with tip, at the Waffle House, or one good-sized lunch at Taco Bell.
When I take my wife out to eat at a halfway decent place $13 would be the tip portion.
At Taco Bell or McDonalds on the dollar menu you could feed a family of 4 sorta.
We ran the wrong McCain.

Dear Britons,
I am sorry that Andrew Sullivan is an addled mental midget.
I am sorry that the half-white President treated Gordo so poorly. He doesn’t know any better.
I am sorry that you have a shortage of dentists.
I am sorry that the neophyte asshat administration is driving the world economy into the ground, just so it can use the opportunity to push through more of its collectivist policies.
I am sorry you do not have Dunkin Donuts.
I am sorry that our forefathers fled your country to seek a life of freedom, one that our current President seems hell bent on ruining.
I am sorry for the Backstreet Boys, N-Sink, 98 Degrees, Ashley Simpson, the Jonas Brothers, and Mario Lopez.
Mission Accomplished!
H/T: The Anchoress
I am sorry that Andrew Sullivan is an addled mental midget.
Wait, shouldn’t they be apologizing to us for that one?
SBP – You are probably correct, but we are responsible for giving him a bigger microphone.
No shit. It’s when a country’s people are already smarting from other crap they’ve been putting up with, that the last thing they’ll tolerate from an outsider is more crap. Anybody remember Charlie Daniels?
Dear Americans,
We’re sorry for Amy Winehouse. And Andrew Sullivan. We cool?
Hey!! That guys got more hair on his face than me! *tee hee*
d’oh! I also typo’ed…. crap..

Dude! We can forgive anything, but you weren’t supposed to send Madonna back.
Listen, chaps, we’re not cross about the skeezy gifts to Broon – really. We can’t stand the bloke either. I personally wouldn’t have wasted the $29.99 or whatever it was Obambi shelled out for the DVDs. But sending the Churchill bust back….that was nasty. We won’t forget that one.
