If he didn’t exist, we classical liberals would find it necessary to invent him.

I’m thinking Biden should set himself ablaze in protest. I don’t know if flaming Botox results in a toxic plume though, so viewers/cheerleaders should keep at a distance.
What a knack. Unparalleled, really.
the barack hussein kardashian reality show is turning into a farce.
newrouter, it isn’t turning into a farce. It always has been a farce and couldn’t have been otherwise. It’s just that people who hadn’t noticed before are waking up to the truth of the matter.
the exploding cigars are tough to hide these days.
the mittens are off
Team Romney’s first ad using Obama’s Ohio speech.
I don’t know if I agree Sdferr, in that it started as farce.
I think it started as a lark, like when the reverend Jessie Jackson ran, turned into a illusionist production slick enough to make David Copperfield envious, screamed straight past farce into Greek tragedy, and is now devolving to slapstick.
It’s funny when Larry, Moe and Curly burn down the firehouse, not so funny when it’s Harry, Hill, and Bumblefuck burning down the country.
Farce carries something more than merely comedic intent. It carries also “sham”, “fake”, “forcing” and the like. And it is in these and similar senses we see the con-artist Obama, never ever what he claims to be, yet ever willing to claim to be more. He couldn’t be other than being what-is-not.
I should have thrown an ersatz in there somewhere, I reckon. But then there’s hardly an end of the words we use for seeming pretenders.

Penn Dem Blasts Obama After Economic Speech
Oh, it’s deadly serious. Please don’t discount this administration, or consider BHO one and done. This guy hasn’t yet even started to froth up the people he froths best; he’s a professional community organizer first and foremost, and second best at dirty tricks to get his way on election day. There’s danger in giving him any room to breathe.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Egypt is the parasitic islamic whorestate we had to pay 5 million dollars ransom to, yes?
See, I didn’t even go there til you said that.
Know when to shut up, racist. ;-P
here these are President Peace Prize’s foreign policy “accomplishments”
pretty damn awesome huh
Middle East: Pressured Israel to end Gaza blockade.
the blockade stands. next.
S’weird they don’t mention Obama kept in place Pres. Bush’s basic policy on military detentions of illegal foreign combatants, kept Gitmo open and functioning, finally began implementation of military tribunals for the worst of the Al Qaeda actors in custody, intensified Bush’s use of drones in Pakistan, unilaterally smacking hundreds of accused terrorists and combatants there along with their families, and other such stuff in which Obama merely follows the rational path Bush laid out. But then, neither do they mention the absolute incoherence of the policy Obama developed to prosecute the ‘good’ war in Afghanistan, so we shouldn’t be surprised I guess.
Doltin’ Joe is carrying on the self-delusional analysis evident throughout this Administration: A New Beginning.
Shorter Obama: We’ll bow lower.
Well, Biden did graduate at the top of his class in law school*.
*”top” meaning 76th out of 85.
How does one invent a Biden? Successive concussions? More than 72 hours without sleep? Mild doses of sedatives introduced into the food? A real bad childhood fever?
Yeah, all the world loves a sucker.
Uh-huh, how many nations actually have nuclear weapons?
Riiiiggghtt. What was Australia’s part…keep not having nuclear weapons? Musta been some tough negotiations there.
Wait, I thought Obama held off on that til after the election.
On vacation, still though…
I think they call that robbing Peter to pay Paul.
OK, I’ll give him this one. I think it’s nice when a soldier can cuss out the enemy in his own language before slaughtering him.
Really? I mean…really?
What, you actually realized pretending to have personally killed OBL was making you look silly, so you decided posing as a heroic savior was more plausible? Sheesh.
“Authorized discussions with Myanmar and mission by Sen. Jim Webb to secure the release of an American held captive”
Obama has managed to rehabilitate the reputations of quite a few disgusting dictatorial regimes around the globe so far, as well as laid the path for the institution of a number of others. He isn’t exactly consistent on this question though.

It’s good to listen to Charlie Ives once in awhile. He get’s his Lento maestoso on, then lets us have multiple Allegro molto vivace barrels square between the eyes.
Obama Stiffs Restaurant on Lunch the Day After He Accuses GOP of Sticking Him With Steak Dinner
“Enabled mission by Mitt Romney to secure the release of 300 million Americans held captive” hopefully will cap off his brilliant diplomatic career.

Obama Stiffs Restaurant on Lunch the Day After He Accuses GOP of Sticking Him With Steak Dinner
I appreciate how doggedly partisan he is, but Hoft’s stupidity can be kind of exasperating.
“They (Republicans) order a steak dinner and martini and then, just as you’re sitting down, they leave, and accuse you of running up the tab.” (fox video)
It’s a tortured stab at irony to link Obama’s idiotic statement to a commonplace campaign screw up. They all do this at campaign stops from time to time due to the harried nature of things. Hoft routinely throws stuff like this out there and it’s easy to picture him drooling saliva all over his keyboard while doing so.
obama and harried aren’t seen in the same sentence just all that often
it is the exploding cigar thing that is fun to watch with these guys. it is almost daily. i mean can you top the crying dude after the wisc recall. it is like watching a house of cards collapse card by card.
obama and harried
how about reid?
it is the exploding cigar thing that is fun to watch with these guys. it is almost daily. i mean can you top the crying dude after the wisc recall. it is like watching a house of cards collapse card by card.
I agree with that. I wasn’t knocking you for linking it so much as it was an opportunity for me comment on my general impression of Hoft as being kind of an overeager idiot.
mr.hoft does do idiot sumtimes
well bush was hitler
No, I had never understood President Obama’s economic policies. Until now. At the Netroots Conference in Rhode Island this past weekend, a gathering of President Obama’s most fervent core supporters discussed the concept of economic growth. One such Obama supporter, featured panelist Colin Mulcher, shed light on the subject: “I think currently the goal seems to be, like, the unstated assumption is that the goal is growth, for the sake of growth. It’s like, we have to grow, and grow, and grow, and grow, and grow. Why? I don’t know, we just have to grow. The only thing that I know about [where] the definition is out-of-control growth, is cancer. Like, literally … the definition of out-of-control growth is cancer.”

McConnell? Mitch McConnell?
Let’s revisit that in October.
Saw McConnell talking about it today on Fox, he is on it. Too bad there’s no Balanced Budget Amendment he could get incensed defending.

ID Required At Obama Speech But Not To Vote
Clarice linked this tasty morsel over at JoM. If it holds up, could be Holder’s undoing, which can’t come too soon.
I guess someone figures it’s time for “Big Tony” to step up. Kamala will be so proud proud of her BIL.
Ease up, he’s simply perpetually auditioning for vaudeville.
Let’s revisit that in October.
There’s that. But leave it to happyfeet to stare at the shiny object while the campaign elves are running around doing all the work.
