Obama Decides Bipartisanship is Unacceptable

In the 2,000 page health care monstrosity passed late Saturday night by the House of Representatives, only one section mustered bipartisan support. The Stupak amendment passed the House with a truly bipartisan, strong majority vote.

Unfortunately for those who believe still in democracy, President Obama has just announced that "because there are strong feelings on both sides," the bill needs more work.

Is this the way they do it in Chicago? Do strong feelings of the minority trump the bipartisan votes of the majority?

If so, perhaps we can get a "do-over" on the major bill, which passed on a nearly perfect party-line vote with only one-twentieth the margin of the Stupak amendment, over the "strong feelings" held by opponents of politicized health care?

Or, does the strength of the "strong feelings" argument depend on who's doing the feeling

Mr. Obama's Moving Comments on Fallen at Ft. Hood

The man can talk…



But, at the end of the day, it's all about him.


A word here, a word there, and pretty soon a word is worth even less than the dollar.

Where's The Bill?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly promised that she would publish the health industry takeover bill at least 72 hours prior to any vote.

She's scheduled a vote for Saturday.

Where's the bill?

No question about her haste. She needs her followers voting before they go home on recess and think too much about last Tuesday and the upsets last summer.

More Communists?

With the outing of Anita Dunn, President Obama's White House communications director as a loud and enthusiastic admirer of Chairman Mao, it is almost certain that there are more communists in the White House today than in all the former Soviet Union.

Oh, for the gold old days, when most of our enemies were on the outside looking in.

IOC Breaks the News: Our President Has No Clothes

Drudge headlined the story, "The Ego Has Landed," but I doubt that it has.

I agree with French President Sarkozy's view that Mr. Obama's ego is so great as to block sunlight on the brightest days.

Now, the IOC has pointed out what Americans should already know, the man who would be king has no clothes.

Mr. Obama promised us during the campaign the renewed respect of the world. Instead, his ceaseless tours of self-aggrandizement have depended on belittling his country and cost America the respect of almost every ally. Worse, his inabilities to actually govern, to lead, to decide, to press forward on a steady path have made it clear to our enemies, real and prospective, that we in the free world are leaderless.

Mr. Obama makes time for distractions, as surely the 2016 Olympics are, but cannot find time for pressing decisions of life and death in Afghanistan. He finds time to meet with the late night pervert David Letterman, but has not a moment to jot down an outline for his health care concepts.

Mr. Obama talks, but cannot walk. He has no clothes.

UPDATE: Victor David Hanson agrees, writing at NRO

Obama’s messianic appeal is wearing thin, both at home and abroad. I think that once Sarkozy essentially said to the world, “The emperor has no clothes,” the Obama facade crumbled. And here we are.

Read the whole thing.

Mr. Obama's arrogance is his only defense against the elements. For that, it is ample.

So, Does Willow Palin Now Get to Tell Letterman Jokes?

Just a few months after slandering Sarah Palin and her daughter Willow, David Letterman has publicly admitted to an inability to keep his pants zipped.

He's shown equal dexterity inappropriately flapping both ends of his anatomy, no laughing matter.

As I asked here, is David Letterman a pervert or merely starved for attention?

The Stepford President

President Obama unquestionably has two tremendous qualifications for election to his office: he reads a teleprompter with passion; his smiles dominate the camera. He was the nearly perfect candidate.

Unfortunately, attributes that make a great candidate often don't translate well into those necessary once in office.

Here is an absolutely fascinating view into Mr. Obama, much more so than first meets the eye. The video bears re-watching to catch two contradictory items. First, notice the complete lack of sponteneity, Mr. Obama is competely tethered to the camera. There is nothing else in his view.

Second, see how Michelle relates to others. She moves in and out of the frame and directs at least a portion of her attention to her guests. Her animation neatly contrasts with its complete lacking on the part of her husband.

He can smile.

He can talk.

But, can he chew gum?

This would make a great movie, one I'd prefer not to be in.

Obama to McChrystal: "I CAN"T HEAR YOU"

President Obama's hand-picked general to lead the war in Afghanistan made it his first priority under orders from the President to do a thorough review of strategies and resources in his war theater. General Stanley McChrystal, America's leading expert on taking the fight to al-Qaeda and very much the President's man on the ground, finished his analysis for the President in August. Since then he's been cooling his heels, waiting for President Obama's permission to present his recommendations.

The only problem? Mr. Obama no longer wants to hear what his general has to say. Suddenly, Afghanistan, which he only a month ago described as

"…not a war of choice. This is a war of necessity. Those who attacked America on 9-11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which al Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans,"

is now an optional war of political convenience. It was "the good war" during his campaign, as Mr. Obama attacked President Bush for paying too much attention to Iraq and too little to the Taliban. During a debate with Senator McCain, candidate Obama laid out his goal, pure and simple,

"We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al-Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority."

Now, it is Mr. Obama's war but apparently no longer our biggest national security priority.

General McCrystal cannot get the President to pick up the phone or even accept his special delivery priority mail and is threatening to resign.

He should, as a matter of principal.

Even a senior CNN reporter called this morning for the President to "man up" and face the need to fight.

Now, if only David Letterman had made the same suggestion…

I watched David Letterman's Show Tonight

I haven't seen Letterman's show in years. The monologue wasn't much from a humor standpoint. Not nearly as good as Jay Leno's, I think.

Interesting, though. Letterman didn't make any "jokes" about the President's daughters.

Probably took a great deal of self-restraint.

Or, maybe he's taking his meds.

Jeez, if you can't joke about the rape of your friends daughters, what can you joke about?
