Then, takes the day to go campaign in Vegas.
And the media dutifully cover for him, while the thinkers attack Romney for his presumptuousness.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. So I guess you’ve got to hand it to Obama: at least he’s figuring out a way to maybe take in a show and hit the black jack table while the whole fucking top three layers burn off and we find ourselves once again back in the age of scimitars and religious wars. Which we won’t be able to fight effectively for fear of offending someone somewhere with our post-colonialist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic misogony and failure to allow the Other his Otherness.
Being seen as tolerant and as a result finding yourself enslaved (but ostentatiously righteous!) is better than admitting to a fixed set of principles and defending them, and by doing so asserting a defense of our own beliefs, over and against the beliefs of others who wish to do us harm. Because that’s just not very thinky or tolerant.
This isn’t leading from behind. It’s Cloward Piven, with the whole world being used as a transnational progressivist RISK board.
Sucks that some of us can see, some of us can’t, and some of those who do pretend not to.
Yup. And we’ve got General Bumblefuck. Oh, and our media…
Obama Skipped Presidential Daily Briefings in the Week Before the Middle East Attacks (Update: Warned)
He isn’t letting a crisis go to waste, that’s for sure. If we had a decent economy, his foreign policy gaffes (if they are indeed gaffes and not part of a plan) would be enough to sink him.
PROTESTS BREAK OUT IN SUDAN, KUWAIT AND MOROCCO
He sure sounded put-upon while delivering his whateveritwas.

– Watching the fumbled responses from the Keystone-kops in the Administration is a study in idiocy. Watching the poodle press cover their asses is a criminal offense.
Apostolic Journey to Lebanon (14-16 September 2012)
Still on? Pope calls for Mideast peace that respects differences ahead of Lebanon visit
Peggy Noonan sucks.
The ever-vigilant lapdog press is just lashing out from their collective butthurt over the fact that Mittens the Evil Corporate Shill had a quick and honest response while their beloved Teleprompter Messiah was trying to figure out how to sound like Mr. Tough-Guy Man while still being a transnational kiss-ass.
Sometimes I fervently wish these people could even surprise me anymore. Then I pause to consider what they’d surprise me with.
These people disgust me.

Best stay away from the shitholes, then.
Dear Mr. Pope
– Apparently Canada is a no-swoon for Jug-ears zone. They yanked their Iranian Embassy 2 weeks ago. Without a single apology.
– Rush is eating Bummblefucks lunch. Among all the obvious fuckups connected with thismess, he points out that these attacks are coming right after Obama’s running statements about killing Bin Laden, and reports that Zawi-hari, Bin Ladens successor, issued commands to his Al Qaeda cells, just prior to these attacks.
– Some are saying that the ‘movie’ is an excuse to set off protests, and the real reason for them is the Islamists are pissed about Obama and the DNC running around spiking the ball on Bin Ladens death.
– The only real surprise is they didn’t blame bush.
[…] -The other post of his has a title and sub-head that captures the idiocy of King Barack The Unready’s actions in response to the situation: Foreign Policy President leaves Israel out to dry, dithers over embassy response […]
… and we find ourselves once again back in the age of scimitars and religious wars. Which we won’t be able to fight effectively for fear of offending someone…
Scimitars and political correctness really are mutually incompatible. When push comes to shove, I think most of us will rediscover the ancient truths.
As for the others? Sam Adams put it rather pithily: “Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
The severed head of Daniel Pearl, who really shouldn’t have been where he was and should have taken better precautions, begs to differ.
“It’s out of our hands,” they whimpered.
What? They can’t call Special Sessions any longer?
Obama call a special session?
Shirley, you’re joking.
Nope, can’t do it. They cannot get their spines back, if they ever had any.
I hear Paco Enterprises is having a half-off sale on all plastic strap-on spines.
Just sayin’…
I thought they all had those spine transplants, what with their fancy healthcare.
Maybe they didn’t take.
Grapefruit. To the face.
Not seeing how flipping Israel off hurts Obama in the least. He still gets 80%-90% of Jewish votes and donations, he never liked Netanyahu in the first place and no matter what Israel says, they won’t do anything without his express consent.
Bombing Osirak in ’81 was one thing; setting off a conflagration that will assuredly leave a lot of Americans ultimately dead is another. Israel isn’t doing crap until Obama says so, and he isn’t saying so. The one promise he kept is booging the F out of Iraq, marking it up and calling it a win.

NR,
Come on. The Jews aren’t pulling the levers for Romney; they didn’t abandon the party afer an important Dem, Jesse Jackson, called NYC “Hymietown” in ’84. There’s very little risk POTUS has for taking the Jews for granted.
Netanyahu can make some waves at the margins for Obama, get conservative Jews into some full throat but beyond Irving Kristol and a few hundred others, it’s in the bag. If there gets to be some October headaches, he has 100k worth of Jewish celebrities, Pols, academics and the like who’ll come traipsing out proclaiming Obama as a darker-toned Elijah.
Maybe, Roddy.
I think the difference between 81 and 12 is the Evangelical Christians are holding hands with Israel.
The Born Agains were newborns in 81. Now, they are a force. You are one yourself. Ask your Pastor.
Bibi isn’t calling an Iranian nuke an existential threat because he’s the neighborhood drama queen. If the Isrealis decide they’re fucked either way, they’ll stop asking permission and start begging forgiveness —assuming there’re any Isrealis left to beg.
And the electorate in 2012 more closely resembles that of 2008 than 2010. Just ask the pollsters.
Calling it a win? A personal political win, maybe. But never an American victory.
