Tweet Paul Brandus decided he’d had enough of the innumerable lies about Obama floating through the blogosphere, so he did some research and came up with a post: “Deconstructing the 5 most ridiculous myths about Barack Obama.“ Unfortunately for him, he forgot the cardinal rule of attacking your enemy: Know your enemy. Without that knowledge, [...]

Tweet In her speech, Michelle makes it clear that, if we’re not enjoying the finer things in life, she can’t be happy when she enjoys the finer things in life. Nevertheless, she did manage 16 luxury vacations at taxpayer’s expense over the course of just three years: Marie Antoinette apparently never said “Let them eat [...]

Tweet There’s something about the Obama’s and food…. For the past three years, food has been an issue with the Obamas. During the recession, they’ve dined in style while others have clipped coupon. Wagyu beef, anyone? Michelle made food her crusade, urging Americans to eat expensive, “healthy,” “organic” food (which has now proven to be [...]

Tweet The moment I read about Michelle Obama’s bathetic (and heavily embroidered) description of her poverty-stricken years with the young prep school and Ivy League graduate, Barack Obama, I knew instantly where she’d found her inspiration:

Tweet Our president has been in the news lately for scorning the Washington press — this, despite the fact that these “journalists” have pretty much been playing on his team since Day 1. Apparently even friendly pitches about politics have become too dangerous for President Obama. Instead, he’s trotted over to People Magazine and offered [...]

Tweet Tim Tebow: star athlete, missionary, works with children, model for abstinence and respect. All around good guy. Gets flak — yes, flak — for his suggestion that athletes, because America’s youth so admires them, should behave well (i.e., stop drinking, drugging, whoring, and trash-talking): He has also stirred controversy by criticising stars of every [...]

Tweet This morning, at the American Thinker blog, Thomas Lifson posted an article saying that the National Enquirer is asserting that Michelle Obama came up with the idea to attack Ann Romney on the ground that she was a stay-at-home Mom. Thomas Lifson says that this report is credible, given Michelle’s frequently expressed anger at [...]

Tweet The Twentieth Century American paradigm for patriotism was our Flag, Mom, and Apple Pie. Obama’s Democrats have now hit the trifecta. We’ve got the flag: We’ve got Mom: And we’ve got pie, courtesy of Michelle Obama, speaking on April 8, 2008: The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks don’t want the whole [...]

Tweet There’s a lot of interesting stuff out there that I want to share with you. First, I have to add myself to the zillion or so conservative commentators who are all over the fact that Barack Obama, showing once again that he has no learning curve, made another Open Mic admission. As you may [...]

Tweet On Facebook the other day, one of my friends offered her services as an English tutor — and included a grammatical error in her offer. Admittedly, it was an error that involved a usage that has been changing over time, but I still expect an English tutor to avoid this particular mistake. Even if [...]

Tweet If you’ve been trolling the internet at all the lost couple of days, you’re aware by now that Christopher Knight, who has what is apparently a paying gig at the Los Angeles Times, has taken umbrage at a political cartoon likening the profligate Mrs. Obama to Marie Antoinette, who was herself no slouch at [...]

Tweet I was talking with a friend (he knows who he is) about the uniforms we wear. The military imposes uniforms on its members, but most of us impose uniforms upon ourselves. Because I’m quite petite (being both short and reasonably slender) and because I have matching small feet, it is extremely hard for me [...]

Tweet Here’s the video of a speech Obama gave at the Transition Ceremony for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. You need only watch the first 40 or so seconds. Here’s my transcript of those seconds: Thank you very much. Secretary Panetta, thank you for your introduction and your extraordinary leadership. To Members of Cong, Vice [...]

Tweet A video is making the rounds. Taking during the flag folding portion of the 9/11 ceremonies, it shows Michelle Obama whispering in Barack’s ear. He responds with a nod and a suppressed grin. Here, see for yourself: I dislike Michelle Obama every bit as much as the next person, but absent a credible lip [...]

Tweet Michelle Obama’s fashion advisors must really hate her. Otherwise, how do you explain a dress that is so incredibly unflattering? First rule of women’s fashion — never, never wear clothes that give you the underarm equivalent of a muffin top. Also, referring to my post yesterday, my friend is right, in that Michelle looks [...]

Tweet I need help from you guys developing a thought. The thought started with this picture of Michelle Obama in a deep-veed, fluffy blouse; a saggy sweater; a bondage belt; and the gypsy skirt from hell: Aside from the fact that the picture pretty much puts the lie forever to the media’s desparate attempt to [...]

Tweet I’m noticing an interesting pattern in Obama’s Muslim speeches. He thinks it’s a very good thing for women to cover up. In his Cairo speech, he made that point, not once, not twice, but three times. As I caught in the post I wrote at the time, he said: Moreover, freedom in America is [...]

Tweet A few days ago, the University of California at Merced announced that the First Lady’s commencement address cost this public institution a fortune — although it hastened to assure us that most of the cost would be covered, not by California’s overburdened taxpayers, but by private donors. The nation’s overburdened taxpayers, it seems, are [...]

Tweet By now, all of you are familiar with the Obama administration’s effort to shut down an Inspector General who was making life uncomfortable for a big Obama supporter. IG Walpin contended that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was misusing federal funds (to the tune of $800,000 plus) for his personal benefit. The vehicle for this [...]

Tweet This is supposed to be a “news” story about the Obama family trip to Paris. It strikes me as coming much closer to a bad bodice ripper, with scary Messianic overtones: People gawked and cameras clicked as the Obamas cut a wide figure through the French capital even while confined to a presidential motorcade. [...]

Tweet Michelle Malkin takes Michelle Obama to task for her apparently hypocritical advise to UC Merced graduates to “give.” Malkin took issue with this language: “You will face tough times. You will certainly have doubts, and let me tell you because I know I did when I was your age,” she said. “Remember that you [...]

Tweet If you’re over thirty, you remember the shampoo commercials that had the tag line “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.” If you’ve forgotten, let me refresh your memory: That slogan started repeating itself in my head with the attacks on Sarah Palin. I won’t repeat here (or link to) the startling savagery of the [...]

Tweet I suspect Obama did this because he’s a yahoo who is out of his league, but there is no doubt but that this is a weirdly symbolic picture of Obama’s foreign policy. And let’s not even get into the weird marital ramifications behind the fact that, while Obama grovels to kings, his wife hugs [...]

Tweet I have been trying my darndest to ignore Judith Warner’s sleazy New York Times piece detailing the sexual fantasies liberal women are having about Obama. On the list of things I really don’t want to know, this ranks right up there with the nature of Bill Clinton’s underwear. These are presidents, for goodness sakes [...]

Tweet Mary Katharine Ham also weighs in on both Michelle’s and Barack’s periodic meanness. She mentions a few examples I’d forgotten and reminds me of Obama’s snide remark about Pennsylvianians as embittered, religiously fanatic gun clingers. One can be nice and witty. One can be mean and witty. And one can be just mean. Obama [...]
