What I cannot understand, and what I cannot fathom or accept about this whole night is the fact that, the reason he needed three planes (Carbon footprint anyone?!) wasn’t for security, etc. it was so he could have THE PRESS ACCOMPANY HIM AND REPORT ON HIS “DATE NIGHT”!!

That is absolutely outrageous. It wasn’t good enough to have his “people” inform all the New York-based reporters and press about this and allow them to “report” on this happening? No, they had to take DC-based reporters along with them to do it true justice!

That is what every single American should be outraged about. This is something that not even the libs can honestly defend or deflect.

The display of absolute elitism is beyond breathtaking.

Let them eat cake, indeed!

Because shut up, that’s why.

Yes, you lowly peasants…. a king can go anywhere he desires among his kingdom.

Are we not beginning to live the life of “Animal Farm”?

Then Monday, telling people they’re making sacrifices, for future generations. What a bunch of hooey. When do he, and Michelle make sacrifices? We put the food on their table. Who’s going to do that, for all those unemployed sacrificial lambs out there?

I won’t begrudge them some down time, to just be a married couple out together, but perhaps it might be better, to be a tad more discretionary, and frugal about it.

“You can’t get corporate jets. You can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas, or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers’ dime.”

Our Doofus Leftist President, circa January 2009

At this point, you’re really down to just two views of Obama, rather than the myriad “He’s an unknown; he’s so complex” BS:

- He’s an idiot, or
- He’s smart enough to know that he controls the press, the Democrats, and the unions completely, and absolutely nothing that can change elections is outside of his control for the foreseeable future, and he is small enough, partisan enough, and vindictive enough to have a really good time of it while he can.

Going to a Broadway show is now the height of intellectual activity. Who knew that Rent and Urine Town were on a par with Sophocles and Shakespeare. Thanks, Matthews, for clearing that up. Good to know your tingling thigh isn’t drawing too much blood from the brain.

Who wants to bet me that Chrissy’s favorite show was The Full Monty?

When a Republican does something, they state all the negatives and hate filled reasons the Republican shouldn’t have done it.

When a Democrat does something, it’s cute, popular, sophisticated, “just what the American people want” and of course they know exactly what we want….right.

The two faces of MSNBC.

So, we are to believe that the reason he did this is that he promised Weezie he would take her to a NY play if he won. And he didn’t want Weezie kicking his ass or closing up shop for a while.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but this doofus “won” last November, right? What prevented him from fulfilling that promise sometime between Nov and Jan 20th. Where these guys so destitute they couldn’t afford it? Or are we to believe he was much more busy serving in “The Office of President-Elect”than he is serving as President.

If his reason is true, one must conclude he wanted to deliberatly stick it to the taxpayers to keep Weezie happy.

I want to believe that there are people within the system who can and will do what needs to be done for this country, whatever the cost. Our military men and women are by far the people I most respect in this nation. I’m humbled and awed by the stories of their sacrifices and the backbone they show in the middle of a thankless job even while seemingly being pissed on by their CIC and the very imbeciles they risk life, limb, and reputation to protect. They (you) are what keep me from giving up. We don’t deserve you, but I’ll do anything in my power to “take up the quarrel with the foe” (ala Flanders Fields)to honor the sacrifices and to stand next to you in the fight.

But after what happened with the Haditha Marines and seeing the power of Murtha’s purse-strings and the unwillingness (or inability) of anyone in this nation to hold him accountable for his slander of our nation’s finest – and the willingness of an ex-Marine to leave our fighting men and women to wonder if they will be charged with murder if they kill rather than be killed in a split-second decision… I’m losing any hope for the system to allow good, honest patriots to do what needs to be done.

A few months ago an FBI agent told me a blatant lie 3 times rather than give me an earnest hearing. I’d like it if those folks – and the CIA folks – would be jolted into due diligence. I’m sure some of them put the country above politics. But what I’ve seen hasn’t inspired confidence in ANY part of our system. It’s all corrupt. I don’t know how the good can overcome a system wired to reward corruption.

If it can be done, we’ll do it. Together. We have to. It helps to come here and know I’m not totally alone.

Time to cap His Holiness, and trade Him.

LOL!!

I demand an ethics complaint be filed about the unnecessary spending of tax dollars to….oh wait, this isn’t Sarah Palin?

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Yeah, this little jaunt cost about as much as that wardrobe they’re still b*tching and moaning about.

The obama rezko land deal
- Acorn vote stealing
- Illegal campaign contributions
- not releasing any info (I know I won’t mention the birth cert)
- Possibly being involved in a senate seat for sale or rent
- Squashing the case against blatant voter intimidation in Philadlelphia

Welcome to the thugocracy folks… It isn’t going to get any better any time soon.

Just a few additions to your excellent list, bullseye:
- Missouri law enforcement “Truth Squads”
- telling AIG execs that he’s the only thing standing between them and the pitchforks
- throwing bankruptcy contract law out the window to pay off his union thugs
- lying about being a member of The New Party
- lying about his close connections with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn
- forgery
- using federal earmarks to give his wife a $250,000 raise
- insisting the Spendulus be printed in the wee hours of the morning and voted on that same day

I’m sure I missed a lot, but it’s a start.

Stuff like
bowing to the Saudi king
telling Gordon Brown not to come to Washington DC because they had snow
Giving Gordon Brown DVD’s he can’t even watch in Britain
Hugging Hugo Chavez
His “apology tour”
Putting NYC in a panic over (supposedly) a photo op for Air Force One (and getting a lousy photo out of it to boot)
His inability to find any friends to nominate who weren’t guilty of crimes, resulting in (for instance) a Treasury Sec who is a tax cheat

Etc.

justincase on June 1, 2009 at 11:11 PM

Call me Dorothy, but I wish I wish that they pissed off the FBI and CIA enough, just enough….enough …. and there is SOME ONE SOME WHERE OVER THE RAINBOW…ready to die for this Country, as I am and my Brothers are, fighting for…..

We’ll be able to pay this datenight off by just properly inflating our tires.
