The photographer got a nice shot though.
OT: My neighbor’s house was struck by lightning earlier this evening. I live across the street in a taller house… on a hill.
They weren’t hurt. Damage wasn’t that bad. It’s sorta surprising how not bad it was actually.

I’m not casting aspersions on the photographer for the capture. But someone in the WH selected it as THE Pic of the Day for Memorial day.
Nothing like a silhouetted Obama, framed in a glowing halo, larger than life in the reflection over the names on the Vietnam wall to symbolize Memorial Day.
The narcissism is nauseating.
Oh, you’re entirely correct, D. It fits the pattern perfectly.
I was just struck that such a shot could be taken. I sorta assume that taking the picture was the whole point of his appearance because you probably don’t stumble across the perfect angle, lighting, composition, and perfectly clean section of the wall at random.
I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to say mean things about Our Leader.
I don’t use this word often but the guy is a total fuckknocker. With bells on.
A fucknocker is someone who is SUCH an absurd and extraordinary asshole that you have to search for an obscure or at least uncommon way to call them an asshole or you feel like you’ve undersold the concept.
Yeah, well. What else do you expect of him? Whatever the situation, his craving of attention requires he at least try to hijack it.
It’s OK. It is just one more thing a number of us will subsidize the cost of packing and moving. Whatever the cost, we’ll be getting off cheap.
This sounds weird at a classically liberal/conservative/libertarian place like this but Obama as a person doesn’t really make me angry the way the craven dishonesty of Nancy Pelosi or Dianne Feinstein does. Those two, with their personal wealth, their deep manipulation of the system to personal ends and others like them–Charles Schumer, who seems to believe nothing and everything, simultaneously, is similar–are more infuriating.
Obama strikes me as a dozen guys I’ve known personally or in my career. Like a freshman in college who finally gets lucky with a girl and convinces himself he is Warren Beatty circa 1972, as opposed to a college frosh who got a curious girl drunk, he bought his own bill of goods.
I despise his politics and lack of conviction to do what is right for America, make no mistake, but he is more sad to me than not, with his multi-decade quest to discover himself, the absence of private sector experience, the inability to acknowledge his leftism. The only thing the guy has done in his life is over the past 13 years or so convince rich white liberals that sponsoring him conveys moral legitimacy upon them.
At least guys like Schumer or the late Robert Byrd happily acknowledge(d) they are machine hacks.
Pathetic. To make Memorial Day all about him… The mind boggles, both at the fact that he has set a new world record for narcisism, and the fact that he’s surrounded with a bunch of bootlicking toadies who cater to that narcisism. Whether this was at his behest, or was the idea of one of his sycophantic staff makes no difference: this plumbs the depths of unseemliness.
…and of course, calling this unseemly (which it is by any standard that actually is, you know, a standard and not just a cudgel with which to beat up your political opponents) is…
Say it with me now:
RAAAAACIST!
I do not think this reflects well on our President.
He stands on the board shoulders of giants…and pisses down upon us from them.
He’s an ass.
e, but he is more sad to me than not, with his multi-decade quest to discover himself, the absence of private sector experience, the inability to acknowledge his leftism. The only thing the guy has done in his life is over the past 13 years or so convince rich white liberals that sponsoring him conveys moral legitimacy upon them.
He’s a fucking narcissist. He was in a search for his own greatness. He’s cloaked his life under a veil of being a “do-gooder” w/o … you know, doing anything GOOD. ANd profiting all the while.
I don’t know how anyone pawns themselves off a someone who had devoted their life to public service, while EVERY step of the way lead to more money, bigger houses, and better vacations.
He’s a charlatan.
As a vet… this makes me sick to the pit. Halo, ha… in the firery depths hell hath no fury!
I really hope my cousin Monty’s name is not on that panel in which the horse’s ass in chief is reflected.
Disgusting.
