Found the following in the comments to a story about a business in OK whose owner put up a sign telling President Obama to kiss his ass. The comment I’ll present you is pure, concentrated pro-Obama spin — the kind where reality is constructed ex-post-facto around the summary of Obama’s tenure as it is here framed rather than reflecting the happenings of the world we all live in, the kind

“165 Million Americans Are Dependents of the State: Is Tyranny Next?”
Answer: of course. Jeez. Blogging is easy today.

“Is the White House really attacking the Ryan plan for not balancing the budget fast enough?”
So asks Jim Pethokoukis. To which the answer is, of course. Because when you aren’t challenged on the vast majority of your facts by the mainstream press (or even in some cases, when that press tries to make your case for you, as with, eg., Soledad O’Brien) the calculus is to lie and lie and lie and trust that you’ll be able to confuse and confound the dullards in the

“Green energy firm sacks two-thirds of American workforce days after receiving $32 million government loan”
Forward! Just days after the Export-Import Bank approved a multi-million dollar federal loan guarantee to benefit a mostly foreign-based wind-energy outfit, the company pink-slipped more than 200 American workers. The Export-Import Bank, a federal agency that promotes and finances sales of U.S. exports to foreign buyers, approved a $32 million loan guarantee on Aug. 2 for a Brazilian firm to purchase wind turbines from LM Wind Power. According to its

From the “oh the irony! It’s so bittersweet!” Dept
Site of the Obamas’ first kiss — which for some reason is deserving of a fucking monument — was at Baskin Robbins, a company saved by Bain Capital! Meaning that if it wasn’t for Mitt and the boys, the Obama monument (or “historical marker,” if you wish to make the whole thing sound less absurd and creepy) might right now be planted in a boulder outside a Piggly Wiggly. Which

An addendum, re: “Smells like teen angst…”
I really do want to get the message out to those who believe voting is a social status issue, be they the college / youth set, or coastal elites, or “liberal” Jews, or racial solidarity blacks and Hispanics: Once inside the voting booth, no one will know that you DIDN’T vote for Obama. Because you can still TELL EVERYONE that you did — hell, pitch a fit when he loses

“Ex-Obama pal decodes Joe Biden’s racial-speak for other Americans”
Andrew Malcolm, IBD: “Romney wants to let the–he said in the first 100 days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unnnn-chain Wall Street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains.” A guy from Scranton living in Delaware on the public payroll since Obama was in grade school suddenly talking like a faux Southern preacher. The crowd approved. But elsewhere, the vice president

Smells like teen angst … [Darleen Click]
I’m a little late to this video, which has been making the rounds and the news. The creators say the first goal of their parody “was first to be funny and reach people” but “funny” isn’t any of the words I’d used in connection with the video. “Pity”, comes to mind. The Obama they “used to know,” as the lamentation goes, never existed. And unfortunately, this Youtube pity-party is still

Hollywood Left is full of hypocrites? You don’t say! [Darleen Click]
The Hollywood Left, from George Clooney to Sarah Jessica Parker, who have become Obama’s WestLeftcoast ATM love canoodling with Barry and Michelle. They will tell you they are totally down with social justice — like Sean Penn pimping for Hugo Chavez. Yet, even as Hollywood is in California, a state with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation and over a third of the nation’s welfare recipients —
