You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, Revisited [Dan Collins]

Being a reflection on my sadly predictable prescience:

At the concert, headlined by Jennifer Hudson and Earth, Wind and Fire, Obama responded to an audience member yelling, “Yes we can” by saying, “Yes we have. But we’ve got more work to do. We can’t rest on our laurels.

“We didn’t ask for the challenges that we face, but we don’t shrink from them either,” he said. “It won’t be easy. There will be setbacks. It will take time.”

The president conceded that his administration “had our fits and starts.”

“I’ve made some mistakes, and I guarantee you I’ll make some more,” he said.

But Obama said in promising to continue to work hard, “Los Angeles, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

    So, we ain’t see nuthin’ yet, eh…

    May God help us all…

  2. geoffb says:

    All the Obama quotes come down to one thing. You have my word on it, trust me.

  3. I’m the shiz-nit, beyatches.

  4. Carin says:

    What the fuck does he mean he didn’t “ask” for the challenges he faces? Twiddle- twaddle. That’s like planning and having a baby, then complaining that you have to change its diaper.

  5. LTC John says:

    Earth, Wind and Fire?

  6. Techie says:

    Regrets, Ive had a few;
    But then again, too few to mention.
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption.

    I planned each charted course;
    Each careful step along the byway,
    But more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    What, is he singing Sinatra now?

  7. Dan Collins says:

    Why does Barack hate teh water, LTC John?

  8. JD says:

    He did ask for this? He started asking for it less than 2 years after he was elected to the Senate. His campaign for this job was listed as one his qualifications and experience necessary for the job. He is a lying dirty little wannabe euro-socialist fucker. And they are just getting warmed up.

  9. SBP says:

    I’ve always wondered about the absence of the fourth element myself, Dan, not to mention the quintessence.

    On the other hand, think about the poor guy who got assigned to be Sweat in Blood, Sweat, and Tears, then consider all of the other body fluids that were left out. It borders on racism, IMO.

    Cuz the country’s in a funk, John.

  11. alppuccino says:

    If, and God forbid, may I be poked in the eye with a pointy piece of Owens Corning insulation, if Obama gets re-elected, will he claim he inherited all his problems from the Obama administration?

  12. Pablo says:

    What, is he singing Sinatra now?

    No, not exactly. I won, bitches!

  13. SBP says:

    Barky is like that one medieval pope (I’m drawing a blank on the name) who was dragged from his little parish church and forcibly elected.

    ‘Cause he’s just modest that way.

  14. Jeffersonian says:

    Hey, Rome wasn’t burned in a day.

  15. That’s like planning and having a baby, then complaining that you have to change its diaper.

    Mama never had to change my diapers, ’cause my shit don’t stink.

  16. Jeffersonian says:

    Not like mama was around anyway, O.

  17. Wm T Sherman says:

    I have to agree with him – so far we’ve seen nothing. Just a big pile of shit.

    But don’t be misled – he’s just getting warmed up. Those grueling 7 and 8 hour days O is putting in are finally going to start paying off and move mountains at some point. I can see that now.

  18. Additional Blond Agent says:

    Steve, go kick his ass!

  19. SBP says:

    Tell ’em, Steve-Dave!

  20. cranky-d says:

    If he has his way, he will turn this country into a smoking ruin. Then, he’ll look at the mess he’s made, and it will be impossible for him to comprehend what he has done. “I meant well,” he might say, assuming he in fact does mean well in his own twisted way.

    “You ain’t seen nothing yet.” That is more frightening than, “We will bury you.”

  21. Rob Crawford says:

    In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes.

    “We have so much room for improvement,” she said. “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility.”

    Truly, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

  22. JD says:

    Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory …

    Yet, the Republicans are the fascists.

  23. Rob Crawford says:

    Oh, JD, that’s not fascism, it’s totalitarianism. Fascism is how Obama’s “fixing” the banks and the auto companies.

    So, obviously, the Democrats are totalitarian fascists.

    Left wing commentator: “Silly wingnuts. How can that be when he has such good intentions? Also he speaks so well!!!”

  25. lee says:

    “We have so much room for improvement,” she said. “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility.”

    Ok Nancy, you go first.

    And be sure to show your work…

  26. Joe says:

    We are so fucked.

  27. Mr. Pink says:

    The fact we have the Speaker of the House saying stuff like that makes me realize how far we have fallen.

  28. Rob Crawford says:

    The fact we have the Speaker of the House saying stuff like and not being run out of town on a rail that makes me realize how far we have fallen.

    FTFY.

  29. kelly says:

    B-b-b-baby, you ain’t seen a narcissistic hump like me destroy damn near 250 years of human progress in barely four months while being fellated by the media yet.

  30. Jeffersonian says:

    Hey Nan, does that inventory include the number of penises one has had jammed into one’s colon over the course of a year?

  31. Rob Crawford says:

    The Aristocrats!

  32. Mikey NTH says:

    At an Earth, Wind, and Fire concert. Back to the 1970’s it is, then.

    Same as it ever was, same as it. ever. was.

  33. Mikey NTH says:

    But Obama said in promising to continue to work hard, “Los Angeles, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

    I am afraid, sir, that we have seen a lot of something, so much of something that seeing nothing would be an improvement.

  34. McGehee says:

    seeing nothing would be an improvement.

    Well, since I ain’t seen any improvement, I guess Obama was telling the truth. :-/

  35. JD says:

    You ain’t seen nothing yet.

    So far, he is just dealing with the fluffers. Just wait until he really starts laying the wood to everyone else.

  36. baldilocks says:

    Earth, Wind and Fire?”

    I don’t care if they are Obamatons. I’m not giving up my EWF.

  37. sdferr says:

    Something else of which we ain’t seen nothing yet, and we can hope we never do (though a prosecution or two based on these allegations would be good to see, if they are warranted). The Obama and Taguba descriptions of these pictures couldn’t be more at odds though. Who to believe? Easy. Which one of the two has a habit of lying?

  38. Makewi says:

    Which one of the two has a habit of lying?

    BOOOOOOOOOOSH!
