Quotes of the day
posted at 10:45 pm on September 23, 2009 by Allahpundit
“It was all extremely naïve. The president did everything he could to say: ‘Can’t we all just get along?’”
***
“With Bush, everyone in the world was, just a little bit beneath the surface, a freedom-loving democrat. With Obama, everyone is a peace-loving multilateralist. ‘The yearning for peace is universal,’ Obama said. Of course, so is the yearning for war, or it wouldn’t be endemic to human existence.”
***
“President Obama said during his speech today: ‘For those who question the character and cause of my nation, I ask you to look at the concrete actions we have taken in just nine months.’
So the goodness of America is found in the Obama administration?”
***

After drinking a potion of Saul Alinsky’s, Jeremiah Wright’s, Rahm Emanuel’s, David Axelrod’s, Michelle Obama’s and his own creation, Barack is transformed into the cruel, remorseless, pathological, misanthropic, pyromaniac Herr Hussein, representing the hidden side of Obama’s dual nature brought to the fore. Barack has many friends and has a pleasing personality, but as Herr Hussein he becomes more and more dictatorial, more and more devious, encourages violence and becomes ever more fascist like as time goes by as Herr Hussein grows in dominance. After taking this potion repetitively, he will no longer need to rely upon it to unleash his inner fascist demons.

Barry did a fine job of portraying himself as the sole agent dragging America out of the evil Bush years and into a shining new world where the leader of the US not only doesn’t mind America bashing, he’s the number one participant.

Obama’s personal biases can’t drive American foreign policy very long. The more Obama jabbers, the more he appears to be a lunatic.

“we betrayed every ally and apologized to the worst dictators, terrorists and torturers on the planet, we set to ruin the world’s strongest and most reliable economic engine and, AND we are about to make ourselves President For Life (but, that’s just between us dictators)”

Oh. My. Frickin’. God.
Some very instruction we were given when entering high school was, “A freshman thinks he knows nothing, a sophomore thinks he knows everything, a junior doubts what he thinks he knows and a senior is back to thinking he knows nothing.
Thus the term ‘sophomoric’”.
He’s a former Chicago professor who truly is a teacher who’s forgotten how to learn. The hubris is strong in this one.

Sure, he’s got the street cred of American blood on his hands, both before the lockerbie bombing and after the toolbag got home, so he’s automatically in the club. Had it been President Palin at the UN today–she’d have walked up to the guy and told him that the bombing raid that killed his daughter was merely a practice mission….

I was just thinking about what kind of president we will want when Obama’s first term is over. We will need someone with the courage and character to put this country back on it’s feet following a nuclear attack on our soil.

I just had an epiphany…
We don’t know really who’s been banned, or if they’re just off screwing around or not… they just don’t show up…right?
It’s kinda like how I think Obamacare is going to be… we’ll never know who dies from poor care, or fails to get treatment… they just …won’t… show… back… up…
OMG—does AP work for Obama too?

This is really the money quote to me.
It may be the most childish thing he has ever said.
Does he know that the definition of peace is not universal?
You might as well say “everyone likes water.”

What is this Great Quest Obama seeks!!
Why is it soooooooooooooooooooooo important that America
be remade in his mindset,er image!
America is America,why is Obama wanting to jump to light
speed in turning the country up-side down,and doing away
with hundreds of years of what made America great!!

If we have a terror attack on our soil, would Americans rally around Obama as they did President Bush? Even the Dems knew President Bush had the country’s best interests at heart. But this guy?
flyfisher on September 23, 2009 at 11:34 PM
LOL. I just had an image of someone pouring some cement overshoes for the current administration, and then Obama leaning over, staring down into the abyss and saying, “Hey Rahm, let me know if you see any of my poll numbers down there, will ya?”

ted c on September 23, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Back to topic. The thing that is most striking is that he still believes his own version of himself. He can be called out, (OK, only once in a blue moon, “You lie.”), he can have a million man march against his spending spree in D.C., the ACORN embarrassment, the poll numbers plummeting, some Dems doing a double-take, and he doesn’t even feel the need to dust himself off. He just keeps on mindlessly chippering away at his self-imposed greatness. Lunatic… in mega-proportions.

He doesn’t want to do fine. His goal is to have the worst time. It’s a Ford Hybrid and while driving the track there are “environmental obstacles” that you have to avoid. If you hit it 5 seconds are added to the time. I think he plans to mow them all down.
Cindy Munford on September 23, 2009 at 11:41 PM
I wonder if by actions, he meant Honduras and Poland?…

“My nation”?
Whatever happened to “The United States”.

No, I really think it meant the “Queen and her Royal iPod” incident. Or, it was the “Gordon Brown Nonfunctional DVD Collection.” Maybe it was “Take This Churchill Thing Before I Smash It…”
and then feign surprise when the Lockerbie bomber goes scot free because he’s a little under the weather.
