Stay classy, Barack
Bookworm on Jun 12 2011 at 6:47 pm | Filed under: Barack Obama
I’ve commented repeatedly that Barack and Michelle are white trash. They have no class. As if to give credence to my believe about their style, Barack went off on Netanayu in the crudest terms.
What a maroon. What a classless maroon. What a crude, classless room maroon. (Autocorrect failure there. Sorry.)

Book,
I’ve seen a lot of politicians in my day – every president since Truman. The determining factor for me, for a long time, has been temperament. Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan and both Bushes had the proper temperament for the job. They all seemed amiable and friendly, never hinting at a personal attack on anybody. The were all tough SOBs.
When they had their way they were always gracious in victory, let their opponents save face in public. When they argued against certain policies they made their case with no finger pointing. It was always you’re a swell fellow and a nice guy, you just happen to be wrong on this detail,
Of all the candidates on the horizon Sarah Palin comes closest to matching them in this very important character trait,

I don’t think it is all that unusual for powerful people to have short tempers and profane vocabularies–in private.
I will say that the Admiral’s that I admired the most were real gentlemen and restrained in their demeanor and language. I can also count them on a relatively few fingers. Those could let you know when they were displeased without the histrionics. Although most did have their moments when provoked sufficiently.
I am sure that the Netanyahu tongue-lashing provoked the O mightily. Wonder if the angst was directed at Netanyahu, or if his anger was for the “Advisers” who let Obama expose his fanny in public. Surely, someone had told the O that Netanyahu would come on bended knee after O laid down the law.
What I am saying is that to me this ranks low among Barack Hussein Obama’s sins. I do admit that I will not fret if it creates resentment and push back among his staff.
That was your arse getting handed to you on a platter, Barack-Boyo.
Btw, Helen Losse voted for this piece of rumbo jumbo, and that’s partially why she hasn’t come back here. She couldn’t tolerate reading or talking about Barack. She called the rest of you all white racists at the drop of a hat. That was no problem for her. But when it comes to Barack, ooohh, now it hurts.
I pretty much walk around embarrassed that this aliterate, street thug twit is my president.
@Oldflyer,
I’ve had my backside chewed more than once. Only two or three done by masters. No cursing. No raised voice. Only that you have not lived up to the faith that was placed in you by me or this organization. Devastating. I never got fired or punished for those misdeeds. I was inspired to live up to my duty to regain my honor.
I’ve been fired more than once. The exit interviews were always painful, both for me and the other guy. The good bosses just had a final check delivered to your desk and asked you to pack.

Greetings:
When I saw the video of President Obama and prime Minister Netanyahu, the President’s hand-supported chin and elevated elbow told me two things: first, the Prime Minister had gotten back in touch with his inner warrior, and second, our President is now, always has been, and always will be a punk. I smart punk perhaps, a lucky punk certainly, but at his core, a punk. Unfortunately, the voters of America have bestowed upon this punk the most respected and powerful office on the planet.
Now in my part of the Bronx, most people knew it was a really bad idea to give any kind of power to a punk, a stickball bat, a knife, a gun, or even a fast car. Almost by definition, punk-ness precludes the intelligence and wisdom to use power well. The psychological deficits in which punk-ness forms and grows prefer lies to truth, subversion to forthrightness. Just as appeasement never works for long, showing deference to punks is almost always doomed to failure. They don’t have the empathy or self control to be reliable fellow human beings.
So, President Obama’s least favorite Israeli/Jew shows up at his White House office, eats the President for lunch and our punk President goes off down the hall and kicks one of his dog’s. You see, that’s why punks have dogs; they need them.
roylofquist’s comment reminded of my own experiences with being fired. I got fired four times by this one guy I worked for. He was a magazine publisher and I was his managing editor. We would have these periodic fights, real donnybrooks, with flashing tempers and loud voices.
Usually, he’d fire me on a Friday. I’d spend the weekend, morose and brooding, wondering about the meaning of it all and my place in it. Then I’d show up on Monday morning before he got there, ostensibly to clean my desk, and something would come up, usually an emergency decision that had to be made and I was the only one who could make it.
Eventually he’d roll in, all smiles and glee—he really liked being a publisher. And so the day would unfold, with me doing my managing editor thing while he. . . published.
I’d keep coming back over the week, still determined to pack my things, but still being interrupted by a succession of decisionmaking moments.
Usually it would take two to three weeks before he realized what was going on. I’d be in his office talking about something, the two of us very comfortable with the back and forth, and he’d suddenly stop. “Didn’t I fire you last month?”
“Yes you did,” I’d answer. “Now, where were we?”
As I said, this happened several times. When I finally did leave, I gave him two months’ notice and thanked him profusely for allowing me to make a spectacular series of mistakes, each one of them distinguished by being utterly different from the ones that had preceded or succeeded it. He was a good boss and I will never forget him.
Charles Martel @ 8 : I’d be in his office talking about something, the two of us very comfortable with the back and forth, and he’d suddenly stop. “Didn’t I fire you last month?”
Me: Charles… didn’t Book ban you *again* last week?
Charles M: Why, yes she did. Now, about that last comment…
Charles Martel, kicking Islamic butt since 732… and the only commenter with the ‘Unban Me’ button!
I remember at one time I was supposed to critique a person’s conduct or performance. I guess I tried to make the email text too funny but it came out a bit over-critical and the guy I was talking about didn’t like it being distributed around. I basically said in reply, “but it’s my job to criticize for improvement”. Then he said something or other about me not having to put it in that fashion or what not, to which I replied that I sincerely apologized if my writing had offended or insulted him. There, case closed. Or that’s what I thought at least. But some weeks down the line, something or other came up, and in the course of it, he brought it up again along with his other complaints about the current organization’s goals or lack of them suiting his personal view.
Some people just can’t be honest with themselves. They say that they’ve accepted things and put it in the past, but their subconsciousness, when push comes to shove, tells things differently.
Humans lie. That’s what they do. And my task is to deal with liars better than the best liars can deal with their marks.
Mike, although you are almost my favorite guy ever, I really, really am disappointed that you let it out that Book has been after my sorry a** for some time now. If it weren’t for the fact that I sorta know where she may live when she’s infrequently in town, her bans would have some teeth.
I haven’t received any message yet, so it can’t be that bad.
Gee whiz. The source is Ulsterman.

I think it’s been Danny Lemieux who has written many comments here describing the Chicago thug-political scene. The Obamas and Valerie Jarrett and others represent the worst of what can come out of the Chicago stew, and now they’re basically running the country.
And they’re no-holds-barred when it comes to “their” enemy: conservatives. Especially in elections.
Whoever emerges from the 2012 Republican Primary season had better be ready for every dirty trick that can be possibly be thrown at them. I hope they’re ready for very nasty political combat.
btw, the first big Republican debate is tonight. CNN 8 pm Eastern. Should be worthwhile.
Obama wouldn’t last a week as an actual street thug. His aggression is purely verbal.
Indeed, people who are hostile and verbally-aggressive are often drawn to lawyering as a career. The way our political system has operated in recent decades ensure that a disproportionate number of people of this type wind up in government.
I shudder to think what priceless objects might have been thrown at the First Man, had Hillary gotten the nomination and won the election.
11B40 makes a valid point. All of us who have worked in organizations have seen the Punk-Boss (P-B) who kicks the proverbial dog surrogate to vent his displeasure; or even more likely just to demonstrate his power. Those who had to witness such behavior usually understood the P-B, he was transparent; but, wondered how the dog came to his role. Further, how did the P-B recognize who among the staff would play the role? Is this an inborn sense, or a learned skill? Do natural dog surrogates give off a scent?
I would not suspect that Daley would play the dog surrogate role. Surely, he has better options. Does he see it as his patriotic or faithful party member duty?

I suspect that a lot of these people had planned on using their chicago insider connections to ride the Obama’s coat-tails to even greater power. It turns out that holding on to coat-tails puts one in the perfect position to be kicked in the face at every step.
