Who you people gonna believe, anyway?

…Obama, or Obama…?

    O! will be like Dan Akroyd’s depiction of Nixon on SNL. He’ll just say his intent was miscontrued, and give examples of the same phraseology using different inflections in his voice. It should make for great reporting…oh wait!

  2. Darleen says:

    PE Barak Obama (D) … “D” is for deceitful

  3. geoffb says:

    From the April 30, 1973 issue of Time.

    “THE Nixon Administration has developed a new language—a kind of Nix-speak. Government officials are entitled to make flat statements one day, and the next day reverse field with the simple phrase, “I misspoke myself.” White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler enlarged the vocabulary last week, declaring that all of Nixon’s previous statements on Watergate were “inoperative.” Not incorrect, not misinformed, not untrue—simply inoperative, like batteries gone dead.”

    The Changiness of constantly changing the batteries. The Hopieness of hoping for a set that isn’t already dead.

    It’s kind of hard to turn Amerikka into a socialist’s paradise without any leadership skills. And I suspect he has enough of an ego to not kowtow to any one person. I’m optimistic this means he can’t do too much harm to the constitution. (But what do I know. I’m in happy la-la medicated land.)

    I beleive in the red pills.

  6. cranky-d says:

    His skills are surprisingly poor. However, his ego is large, which means he probably won’t allow himself to delegate too much to people who know what they’re doing. That’s a good thing I think.

  7. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    Back when Jim[?] Johnson had to be taken off the VP selection team, Obama quipped something essentially to the effect of,

    “What do you expect me/someone to do, hire someone else to vett the vetters?” Infinite regress joke/argument….

    No, moron, you yourself are supposed to be able vett at least someone or something, you know, like a position or policy statement, including your own.

    Mens non compis.

    People have to draw up budgets and make plans and decisions and they can’t use hopeyness as guidance so Useless needs to communicate exactly how dumb his economic policies are going to be and precisely how gay they are planning to get with the molesting of the little carbon dioxide molecules. If he wants to be coy I understand cause he’s woefully inadequate to the tasks he faces but he needs to man up cause the campaign’s over and there are still adults in this country what have responsibilities.

  9. Rob Crawford says:

    He doesn’t need leadership or management skills; he has charisma. The Obamatons will follow his diktat and ignore/rationalize/retcon his contradictions.

  10. Nekulturny says:

    I can hardly believe I’m already nostalgic for the serious moral leadership and clarity of vision as embodied by the Clinton administration.

    reflections on a tele-prompter
    good news/bad news
    the good news is that the shade of the tele-prompter brings my half blackness up a shade
    the bad news is if i stare too long into the tele-prompter i might go into one of those japanese-anime comas

  12. pdbuttons says:

    the good news is the tele-prompter ain’t that heavy [if i have to flee into my archie-jughead bunker]
    the bad news …
    if i have to walk down steep stairs
    i might trip
    good news-tele-prompter wise/
    if i had a little one attached to my glasses/ then/i’d look like the terminator
    bad news
    the terminator always lost
    good news- i’m pdbuttons
    baddie news
    nishi!

    Rob (#9) –
    I keep thinking that too, that the Obamatons would follow him wherever he leads. But I keep reminding myself that many of his followers (the true believers anyhow) are really just spoiled brats with egos themselves. And, like a 2 year old, they don’t take too kindly (or quietly) to not being obeyed.

    I don’t buy it. I think many of them (most?) are herd animals. They hate Bush because it’s the “in” thing to do. They wanted “change”, and now they’ll get “change”. I don’t think they care what that “change” is, or what it means to them, because that would require too much thought.

    To quote Tull, “Now there’s revolution, but they don’t know what they’re fighting.” What they do know is they want to fight.

    Which could explain why they keep on-a trollin’.

    (Hmmm… there’s something to this line of thought, IMHO. I wish I had the time right now to develop it further. Maybe later. Or someone else can run with it.)

    I fell out of my chair, and rolled around til I saw spots.

    Thanks HF!

    I hear smoking is up. I blame Obama.

    A good man wouldn’t have ever smoked if he is going to be the leader of the world. Bad example for the youth and the weak.

    There’s no more bling than the prezzidential caddy and air force one yo. Take that Jay Z.

    “Y’all handle da bidness whilst I chill with da Kristal in the VIP with my hommies Hugo, Vladizzle and Reggaton Raul”

    Rahmmy handles my money and Joey B runs security.

    PRESENT!

    “What they do know is they want to fight.”

    One of the hallmarks of fascism is action, any action, if it doesn’t work then another action. Action, action, action. No thought, just act, over and over. A swirling whirlpool of actions. Moving inexorably to the sewer level. Flushing humanity down the drain.
