i was leaning more towards president miserable fascist cocksucking soroswhore manpuppet
This is what leading from behind looks like. Rush has been all over how everything Obama does isn’t really done by Obama, so it’s not his fault, you see? Clinton got away with the same what buck? The buck never got here! bullshit.
Relax, Citizen! All is well!
Our brave Attorney General, Eric “The Red” Holder, has decreed that a full investigation and, if needed, a complete whitewash be done!…
…
What? Too Monty Pythonish?
These fuckin’ guys are hell to satirize.
mojo,
I was thinking of something more like this Eric .
Well, I guess the MFM thinks they have no further use for him. I wonder if they’ll start “Investigatering” the other 297 scandals they passed over.
Heh! Somebody said the damn is breaking. I love it.
Whoever said it was Clintonian is right on the money. He’s jabbing at the camera with closed fist/pointy thumb now. Has Bill Clinton been coaching Obama and he picked up that guilty gesture to match? And where’s Hillary, I wonder. She’s likely being bad when she’s quiet. Real bad.
I do savor the stories you post, Darleen. Thanks.
I hope that the tide is (finally) turning on Obama, but we’ve seen scandals just disappear before (here’s a list: http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/11/02/why-was-there-no-october-surprise/)
Only if the Republicans and enough of the MSM keep the focus on Benghazi…
Along these smae lines, Leather Penguin seems to be channeling Jeff.

Look, you stuttering chumps, this is it; either grab the reins or sit back and continue on your headlong journey to utter irrelevancy. We’re way beyond Nixon now (who, besides being evil, was a monstrous schmuck). Watergate didn’t have a body count. This is way bigger than an “enemies list.”……
jihad never sleeps
Massachusetts: Seven Muslims caught trespassing at large public water supply for Boston; patrols stepped up statewide
If the GOP doesn’t act, the mask will officially be off. According to Drudge, the majority of Americans want to see jail time for IRS agents/officers involved in the scandal. Seeing the majority of Americans interested in anything but television or movie plots is a rare thing. If this is pursued, and it can be proved that Obama was involved, it might well be enough to finish him. If it isn’t pursued, there can no longer be any serious justification for voting GOP, as they will have proven that they are the ruling class, and no different than the Dims.
I like the cut of that penguin’s jib.
Putting Joe Biden in the Big Chair?
Let’s think about that concept a little more.
Although, I think you could make a valid case of automatically invoking the 25th Amendment if Biden were ever to become President.
And then we could have John Boehner as the nation’s first female president.
we could have John Boehner as the nation’s first female president.
And Charles Boustany as his live-in lesbian lover.
Yeah, and I’m sure if government was only half as large, it would be half-vast.
Beck’s looking for contributions to #Oscandalnames that don’t include the -gate suffix.
Nothing really good has surfaced, including my stuff, which, I got nuthin.
ObazmaTyranny works for me. But then I have simple, direct tastes.
Obama-gate would seem to include a multitude of sins.
As far as I’m concerned, “Obama” is the only name you need.
*David Axelrod: “When you’re POTUS theres so much you don’t know below you because the government is so vast.“*
And yet I distinctly recall being told that every single F-ing thing for 8 years was the fault of George W Bush, the most idiotic evil genius who ever lived.
Greetings:
I prefer President Barack (The buck stops there.) Obama, the most open and transparent President in the history of history.
Benghazi Brouhaha.
Ironically, the IRS scandal is the one scandal since Nixon where the -gate suffix really seems appropriate. But, yeah, it’s so tired and overused.
Can’t think of any better name… but all of the recent scandals combined sure fit with the President Emptychair, eh? According to Carney et al Obama’s been “missing in action” when all of these terrible, unacceptable things just sorta unexpectedly ‘happened’ on his (non) watch.
“And yet I distinctly recall being told that every single F-ing thing for 8 years was the fault of George W Bush”
Oh, I’m sure that all of these scandals are somehow Bush’s fault if you look at them through the proper lens. Just wait.
Some one should point out to Axelrod that his claim that the government is so vast that the president couldn’t be expected to be aware that the IRS is harassing organizations that want smaller government validates these organizations’ existence.
“The Obama scandals” tells people all they need to know.
[…] but it’s excessive employment over the past forty years has rendered it an anathema. Libby, commentator over at Protein Wisdom […]
What McGehee said upthread. As long as Obama’s name is prominent, it works for me.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/05/15/holder-testifies-at-house-hearing-says/
Holder stonewalls. Nice deer in the headlights pic.
“”I am not familiar with the reasons why (the subpoena was issued). I am simply not a part of the investigation.”
Yo, dude. Given that you’re the Man in Charge, and that you were being called before Congress, shouldn’t you have “familiarized” yourself with the situation?
Holder told us just yesterday that he’d been practicing law since 1976. I would imagine that is a sufficient amount of time to familiarize oneself with the statutes in question.
I expect everything to blamed on Bush. Or the Great Sequester of 2013. Or both.
So Holder held a press conference yesterday where he answered most questions with some variation of “I don’t know.” Then today (despite having hours to track down the answers to all of the press questions) gave similar testimony. In what other profession is one allowed to continue to “not know” what happened after the sh*t has hit the fan?
Maybe someone in the press would be so kind as to point out to him that he continues to “not know” because he chooses to, and that still not knowing after the IG report and a barrage of questions from Congress & the press is unacceptable behavior for an Attorney General.
Libby, wouldn’t it be great if one of his interlocutors sighed and asked him just what he had been doing to prepare for this hearing? Anything? Anything at all?
Yes, Leigh. It’s such a simple follow-up question: Well, why don’t you know the answer to my question?!? (and when can you get back to me on this?)
Have to say it was enjoyable to FINALLY see the MSM push back – hard- during Carney’s briefing yesterday. Those guys were just not buying it on the AP phone records scandal.
Obama really is a uniter after all: Bringing together the liberal press and the TEA Party. That takes talent or one hell of a tin ear!
