Barack Obama: The new face of the .01%
$10 million huh? No wonder he looks so happy: I wonder when we’re going to see something like this outside the White House: (Don’t worry. I was just joking. Like that’s going to happen.)

Will 2012 be the revenge of the Mommies?
Women have been responsible for some pretty bad presidents. Warren Harding leaps most easily to mind, since his was the first presidential election in which women participated, but women were also water carriers for JFK and Bill Clinton. The Barack Obama campaign clearly hoped to capitalize on women’s bad habit
Continue readingThe Obama government’s attack on JP Morgan and banks is something we should find very worrisome
I’ve been suffering from an ear worm for the past few days. Every time I read the headlines, I hear President Gerald Ford’s voice in my head. He’s always saying the same thing, too: A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to
Continue readingWanted: Help finding missing brain (either mine or the President’s, I’m not quite sure which)
Somewhere between yesterday and today, my brain went AWOL. I had a wonderful idea for a short and sweet post yesterday but never got the chance to write it down. Today, I have the chance, but absolutely no ideas, neither short and sweet ideas, nor long and boring ones. I’ve
Continue readingAnother formerly major American magazine goes off the tracks *UPDATED*
Yesterday, I got to be snarky about Time Magazine’s aggressive breast feeding cover (and if “aggressive breast feeding” isn’t a post-modern liberal oxymoron, I don’t know what is). Today, I get to poke fun at Newsweek, for it’s “Obama : The First Gay President” cover: Newsweak isn’t actually claiming that
Continue readingPresidential Election 2012: Eddie Haskell versus Ward Cleaver
Leave It To Beaver is an iconic television show, complete with archetypal American characters. Week after week, during its Eisenhower/Kennedy heyday, the show presented its American audience with the naifs (Beaver and Wally Cleaver) being enticed into dangerous or embarrassing situations, thanks to the machinations of Eddie Haskell. Eddie was
Continue readingFormer Navy SEAL (who looks like Keanu Reeves) challenges Obama’s self-absorbed reliance on the SEALS as campaign tools
I got an email from Andrea Shea King (the Radio Patriot) that had in it a picture of Keanu Reeves and a headline about a post with one former Navy SEAL’s challenge to Barack Obama because of the latter’s narcissistic reliance on the SEALS as his own personal campaign tool.
Continue readingBarack Obama: the lazy manager of a frantic government
Calvin Coolidge was famed for sleeping 12 hours a day, and generally not working up a sweat. His work ethic was consistent with his belief about government’s role. He was an old-fashioned Republican who was comfortable with the adage that the government that governs best is that which governs least.
Continue readingObama’s intellectual love affair with T.S. Eliot
Everyone is having a good laugh at young Obama’s pompous, turgid, and self-referential writing about T.S. Eliot. My thoughts actually went somewhere else. T.S. Eliot was a tried-and-true antisemite. That’s why I’ve always given him a wide berth. The young Obama apparently did not feel the same way about Eliot’s
Continue readingAre Obama’s Bay Area donors getting any Obama bang for their big bucks?
I posted earlier today about Obama’s visit to the Bay Area, one that is expected to net him and the Democratic party lots and lots of money. One reader, who asked to remain anonymous, noticed something interesting about Obama’s schedule: Obama has scheduled: – 4:30 appearance in Palo Alto for
Continue readingObama’s peculiar definition of “courage” vis a vis the bin Laden raid
When Don Quixote and I talked yesterday about Obama’s use of the bin Laden raid as a campaign talking point, he pointed out that any sitting president who is running for reelection would use the raid as a talking point. I agree. The problem isn’t that Obama politicized the raid,
Continue readingIt’s rather strange that Obama’s composite girlfriend matches Bill Ayers’s real one
Much is being made of the fact that it’s finally becoming big news that Obama, in Dreams From My Father, “compressed” a girlfriend. That is, he’s acknowledged in his book that some people referenced in the book were “composites.” It’s just that no one realized that at least one of
Continue readingObama occupies the homes of rich people
I don’t know why, but I found this article, telling about Obama’s umpteenth journey to the Bay Area well for campaign donations, amusing in an ironic sort of way: President Barack Obama will attend three fundraisers in Silicon Valley on Wednesday, May 23, the latest of his many campaign-cash-collection visits
Continue readingBarack Obama is a warrior in chief, but is he fighting for or against America?
A few days ago, the New York Times ran an article assuring everyone that Barack Obama isn’t a wuss, he’s a warrior. I have only a couple of points. First, considering that Obama has been and is such an aggressive President, one who has seen more troops die on his
Continue readingThe Ego versus the SEALS
Obama’s War on Women backfired when one of his operatives made a stupid attack against Ann Romney and Moms. Obama’s Dog War against Romney backfired when it turned out that he’d dined on dogs. Now, it looks as if Obama’s “I killed bin Laden” shtick is going to backfire too:
