Quote of the day
posted at 9:30 pm on June 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
“But, look, I just think that what we’ve been doing over the last six months is getting people back into fighting trim. This is a town where there was just a belief that nothing could get done… I’ll use just the workout metaphor, and that is, you know, when you start training again and you’re pushing your body a little bit harder, sometimes it hurts. But if you keep on at it, after a while your body adjusts. And I think that’s what’s happening to politics in Washington. Folks have been sitting on the couch for a while, and now they’re starting to feel like, hey, you know what, I can run. And that’s why we’re getting stuff done.”

It’s more than sometimes with this a*hole. Zero the know-nothing only encourages me to make sure that I’m prepared for the worst.

I almost feel like at this point, we’ve already established he’s a total moron and maybe we should just move on.
OneGyT on June 28, 2009 at 9:34 PM
And now it’s up to you to vote for me. Or, you can go along with the known corruptcrats that are destroying America.
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 9:34 PM
I personally think the QotD should have been “HI BILLY MAYS HERE”
OneGyT on June 28, 2009 at 9:34 PM
OK, I’ll play. It’s like working out on a sugar rush and no fluids. Push it and push it when your body doesn’t have the fuel to finish the race……. and you collapse.
Idiot.
JeffinOrlando on June 28, 2009 at 9:35 PM
Yup.
Destroying the Constitution
Trashing the economy
Dissing fellow democracies
Embracing tyrants
Imprisoning our kids in debt
What next?

“Come over here and say that, you stupid socialist SOB.”
cthulhu on June 28, 2009 at 9:37 PM
What are they getting done, exactly? You know, I think I could tolerate him in small doses, at least in terms of his speeches and interviews, if he just expressed some tiny bit of humility. The arrogance is extraordinary…I think he really believes he walks on water.
changer1701 on June 28, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Yeah, raping the constitution and the American people can be tough on a guy.
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 9:38 PM
His enforcers are the only ones getting the workouts.

Ya, but what are you going to do about it… ;p
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Is this the part where we bend over?
It’s weird neither Ed nor Allah covered it on the Main page. That story has been in the headline section all day.

Let it be known that this is the first case of people getting back into fighting trim by loading up on pork.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on June 28, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Folks have been sitting on the couch for a while, and now they’re starting to feel like, hey, you know what,
I can rungo to the store and buy more ammo and weapons. And that’s why we’re gettingstuff doneall the canned goods we can while the gettin is good..”He called and asked me to fix it for him.
broker1 on June 28, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Let’s never mind the country’s opinion as to the quality of that “stuff”.
ddrintn on June 28, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Politics as usual is over in Washington DC. We need to look out for middle class Americans and this why we need to pass the Stimulus Package.
If we make the intelligent choices now, to invest in our economy, we can prevent the expansion of the worst recession since the Great Depression. And if we do this now, we will be able to keep unemployment levels under under 8%.
However, if we listen to our critics, who say government shouldn’t do anything, and that we’re trying to do too much, unemployment could reach unsustainable levels, up towards 9%, and that is unacceptable. And that’s why we’re getting stuff done.
El_Terrible on June 28, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Agreed. It will be our QotD
Upstater85 on June 28, 2009 at 9:43 PM
It’s ONE thing to push harder….

FontanaConservative on June 28, 2009 at 9:46 PM
This is a town where there was just a belief that nothing could get done…
LOL – Yes and it was much better – If getting things done means ruining America then I would prefer the latter.
CHANGE you can bankrupt America on. Let’s HOPE we will have food, water & electricity after the Obamanation is done destroying what we have sown.
izoneguy on June 28, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Sorry, not good enough. You might as well just surrender to the inevitable it that’s your solution. What you should be doing is a) running for office yourself or b) supporting someone who is running who has zero ties to the current political machine.
If you are not doing this you might as well be supporting the Obamanation because Republican or Democrat they are all corrupt if they are part of the political machine.
They all need to go… Total bloodbath in the house and senate. If you vote for anyone with connections to the current political machine the face may change, but it will still be the same corrupt machine.
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Yes, please anyone???? We need to be done with the Obamanation.
izoneguy on June 28, 2009 at 9:48 PM
I don’t watch much TV anyway, so he can be on 24/7 for all I care.
ddrintn on June 28, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Will these candidates please step forward. Time to destroy the machine.

There has just got to be a moral someplace in this “Quote of the Day” from Bill Kristol, if only you can find it.

“The Audacity of Arrogance.”
Star20 on June 28, 2009 at 9:53 PM
All smokescreen.
A sprint to spring 2010 since they know it all comes to an end then when campaigning for Nov begins in earnest and no more majorities.
Bills, bills, bills. Don’t read anything. Just vote and tweak later. Shameful.

Activism – the biggest evil of all.
OldEnglish on June 28, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Given a choice I’d rather nothing be done than what this fool has done.
Coming up on only six months in office and everything O-Drama has said so far is total bullsh!t.
infidel4life on June 28, 2009 at 9:55 PM
The saddest thing about cap-and-trade and obamacare is that we won’t have vaseline anymore. So that little hurt is gonna geta lot worse.
boomer on June 28, 2009 at 9:56 PM
We’re working on that bub, a whole bunch of us!
conservnut on June 28, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Step forward yourself. I am a California resident, I have zero connections politically speaking and even less in the way of money. I have been posting here on HotAir pretty much since the blog opened.
I have been asking everyone here at HotAir to help this regular middle class working man from California to challenge Senator Boxer for her senate seat.
I dont have the money, the connections or even the technical skills to make a website, but I am stepping up and asking others, hell daring others to do so as well.
You tell me where those candidates are… I think I am talking to one, he just doesnt know it yet…
doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 9:56 PM
the really sad part is, there’s a lot of dumb asses who just eat this crap up..

Obama-centric belief system:
1) All roads start with Obama.
2) All roads end with Obama.
3) The Sun revolves around Obama.
4) The moon revolves around Obama.
5) The stars revolve around Obama.
6) If the United States does not keep Obama in office for at least 10 terms, the orbital stability of the Earth will become unbalanced and we will all fall into the sun.

doriangrey on June 28, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Wrong.
1) All roads are Obama
2) The Sun is Obama
3) The Moon is Obama
5) The Stars are Obama
6) The Earth is Obama.

Has he stopped to ask whether he should be doing these things?

Man its a good thing we elected Obama. Finally after 230+ years of muddling through the United States of America can finally accomplish something now that we have The One to guide us forward.
Calling Obama a narcissistic Ass doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
johnsteele on June 28, 2009 at 10:05 PM
If anything gets “done”, it’ll be the country’s bankruptcy. And the only reason that will get “done” is because you, Barry, are putting so many massive bills through Congress that you know something will pass.

Wow, that took a really long time and a ton of research….. After all these years, I finally found out the main “whatever happened to” I was tasked with uncovering………..
No wonder there’s no birth certificate……… Corky from ‘Life Goes On’ became POTUS !
Ahhhhhh I can do it !

That’s because TOTUS hasn’t received the AI chip yet.

I’m sorry for not being very PC about this, but how is it that a metaphor that could reference running becomes be so… well… lame?
apostic on June 28, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Does anyone remember when they used to go to *fun* websites, just to have a laugh? I haven’t been to one in at least 10 months. My time is consumed on keeping abreast of the raping of America. And, sadly, I think I am too discouraged to laugh.
When can I laugh again?
sybilll on June 28, 2009 at 10:07 PM
The work that or fitness trainer in chief is doing in DC results in us gaining trillions in debt weight on our economy. But he brags about his accomplishments, and the MSM swoons.
Loxodonta on June 28, 2009 at 10:07 PM
They tried…what can I say? I’m not very compliant…

When I start laughing again…. I will probably be a good idea to start edging slowly out of the room… ;O

Meh. Life coaches are soooo bad 90s. Will Bo start wearing towel head and wrist bands with his superhero man-tard too?

What Obama didn’t count on and didn’t expect I’m sure, is that his actions have created many many first time activists….on the right.

He has one in college and one in high school…yeah, it’s going to be tough for him.

blatantblue on June 28, 2009 at 10:14 PM
“L’etat, c’est moi!”
“Louis’ numerous wars and excessive domestic spending (mainly the construction of the Chateau de Versailles) effectively bankrupted the State. This bankruptcy set into motion many of the domestic problems with the “tiers etat” that would eventually lead to the French Revolution in 1789. These debts forced Louis XIV to incur large State debts from various financiers and his successors to levy higher taxes on the peasants as the nobility and clergy had exemption from paying these taxes and contributing to public funds. Yet, it must be emphasized that in Louis’ time it was the State, and not the country, which was impoverished. The wealth and prosperity of France, as a whole, could be noted in the writings of the social and political thinker and commentator Montesquieu in his satirical epistolary novel, Lettres Persanes. While the work mocks and ridicules French political, cultural and social life, it also portrays and describes the wealth, elegance and opulence of France between the end of the War of the Spanish Succession and Louis XIV’s death.”

That’s why I prefer to get my news here. Because even when there is nothing but doom and gloom, there are so many funny people commenting, like the one above that had me literally laughing out loud, or the photos of scary Pelosi, etc…and captions…it’s the little things. Probably all we are going to have left.

When you are a complete fraud you have to act this way…otherwise people will start to realize the emperor has no clothes… is just a puppet…
I’d really like to know who is the actual person(s) running this country…I do know they don’t have our best interest at heart…
What puzzles me is why are so many Democrats helping him? They can’t all be imposters…
