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?”

Yuri Bezmenov agrees.

Go–Eastern Euro capital cities are like nothing else: Prague wasn’t bombed or fought in, Budapest and Warsaw have been rebuilt to the most of the original plans in the central areas, and people are generally positive.
It’s the formerly Old Europe, now rejuvinated
Janos Hunyadi on September 24, 2009 at 12:01 AM
What is our reality any more, I am so confused by the man we call President, does he know what he is doing?? Makes me sick…..

Man they don’t need to mess up a classic like “Red Dawn”. That just would not be right.

I made it to Budapest this summer (river cruising from Amsterdam) but the Prague end of the tour was cancelled (the Danube flooded bad and screwed everything up from Vienna and south).
I loved Budapest, that’s why I want to go back. Thanks for the tips.

Really.. they need to make the rest of the film, the one where we take this place back over again and elect a Wolverine to put in the white house.
ted c on September 24, 2009 at 12:06 AM
Good to know. I have a question, if you were to make your product overseas, would the low pay to the foreign workers make up for the cost of transportation of your product back to your customers in the U.S.? I have always wondered why things like textiles were sent overseas, is it salary or is it all the taxes and regulations placed on the employer.

OT: It appears CJ has posted what he claims is a snippet by Victor Davis Hanson, defending LGF. He doesn’t link to the site that posted it(ostensibly because they host RS McCain’s writings), and no Google searches come up with anything matching the title.
Is the little fascist now conjuring up articles?
MadisonConservative on September 24, 2009 at 12:07 AM
I’d like that too but the media would make him out to be a martyr. Besides, his concession speech to the R-candidate will be an absolute must-see doozy. I want to hear him say “I lost”.
sherry on September 24, 2009 at 12:07 AM
I got a request from someone at NewsBusters- I’ve been doing a few of these lately- and the idea was Barney or Barry and a unicorn named ‘Petard.’ I figured that if anyone was “hoisted by his own petard” it was Barry at the UN today. Barney’s body- well, that was just some woman riding a horse. I did add in the white cowboy boot though!

I saw that and can’t find it either. But I did notice he has his tip jar splattered all over the site today.
He must be broke or needs new tires for his bike.
Knucklehead on September 24, 2009 at 12:12 AM
Before the whole world this jackanapes threw the United States under the bus.Israel too.
To any pundit who thinks that McCain would have been worse than Obama-it is true that McCain may have been half a loaf (or even a quarter of a loaf) but Obama is a stale crust, green with mold, lying in an alley that has been pissed on by a tramp.

I have already written his resignation speech for him.
I am hereby resigning the office of the Presidency. I will then spend some of the rest of my remaining time on earth in trying to forgive himself for making the country worse off when I could have made it better off with the same effort and will spend the rest of my time on earth living with my half brother in Kenya studying horticulture.
MB4 on September 24, 2009 at 12:19 AM
I can’t wait to see the ‘approval’ polls after that speech.
The moonbats may be swooning over that filth he uttered but I don’t think it’s going to sweep ‘the masses’ to his banner.
The speech was a world-class OMFG piece of work. And I noticed his fascination with the I-word hasn’t diminished in the least. Quite telling.
Feh, ‘my nation’ indeed.
Gawd Almighty, I keep seeing Soros cackling with glee in a darkened room somewhere.

Bizarre! I read that post earlier, but just went back to it after you reminded me of it.
It has been heavily edited! I believe he had posted that it was from Pajamas media, but that he would not link it. I think huge swaths of comments have been taken down, as well as comments he made himself in the thread.
Something is up over there!

This whacko sounded just like Rev. Wright’s little buddy today. Enough to make a person puke. I’m to the point now where I literally despise this azz-clown.
He needs a history lesson in the worst way. And I don’t mean studying 50 or 200 years ago. I mean in the last 10 years we’ve saved millions and millions of lives, prevented wars, fed and sheltered millions. Gave billions and billions for Aids prevention, flood rehab and on and on. Barry is demeaning. He literally hates America.
America is the greatest nation Earth has ever seen. 4 years and you’re gone chit-for-brains. Go to he11.

Books are being written tonight all over the world of Obama’s words…
… They will inspire generations to think that the United States of America is not what it truly is, but what George Soros, Barack Hussein Obama, and the Political Left wants you to think that it is.
The dead to correct this child’s ideology will be in the millions…
… Thank God we have a ‘Free and Independent’ Press to point this out to everyone,
for when they have to identify the bloody mist and sagging skin on a rusty post that used to be some one’s child from a bomb going off in middle America,
“Why did this happen?” can be explained…
For a moment, I was getting worried…
Seven Percent Solution on September 24, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Someone just posted this…..
Are you following all of this down in the Green Room where RSM has an LGF thread going?
Knucklehead on September 24, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Can you imagine the pardons he’s going to give? Oh my!
I think he’ll actually be relieved and happy. He’ll be counting all the money that will come in through speaking fees. Like Carter he’ll be a hero for decades. The worse he fails the greater will be his celebrity. He’ll say he lost because so many Americans just didn’t get it.
Buh Bye!
Mojave Mark on September 24, 2009 at 12:26 AM
No, he’ll say he lost because so many American’s are racists.
Knucklehead on September 24, 2009 at 12:29 AM
No, he’ll let his lackeys say that. He’ll merely say that Americans voted “stupidly.”

Such puerile aggrandizement should be forbidden and punished in adults. Alas, this guy is an underdeveloped narcissistic teenager, a cipher in a nice suit, entertaining the U.N. potentates, and a few leaders (see Harper).
Schadenfreude on September 24, 2009 at 12:35 AM
There have been a bounty of movies out of lefty-Hollywood made in the last several years, that are now available on Netflix. Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I laugh at the obvious stupidity, other times I just hank the DVD out. So predictable: It’s either an Iraqi G.I., who goes berserk (never one from the war in Afghanistan) or else the plot centers around the U.S. left when BUSH created the Homeland Security Office and how that intruded into our personal lives. ALWAYS the same marvel of characters: One white heroic type, with boxcars full of “white, doughy-faced, inept, red-necked individuals.” The obvious, true-blue, well-balanced, savior is some, articulate, stoic black-man; Can you say, Morgan Freeman, or the likes?
The producers must be scrambling now on how to STILL DESTROY BUSH without compromising the very essence of the complaints, to begin with. How to construct a movie, when all of a sudden, the person to whom they put all of their energy and efforts to destroy, has been eclisped by the most
perverse and lying, dumb, outragious, “voted-in” leader that our country has ever witnessed?
betsyz on September 24, 2009 at 12:37 AM
Imagine what his wife will say.
Also, never forget that the American people brung him. They deserve him, now. Too bad what he’s doing to them, and the country. The moochers and looters are now in charge.

Fair enough. I’m grumpier than usual today. I wonder why.
OldEnglish on September 24, 2009 at 12:43 AM
There was something about the way he said “my nation” and “my people.” I had the sense he used those terms the same way a potentate would use them, not the way a proud citizen of the republic would use them.
flyfisher on September 24, 2009 at 12:46 AM
‘MY’ nation? Or, OUR nation?
As she so aptly stated with her own pie hole, for the first time in her dismal race-card laden life, your wife is proud of her country. But, for the first time in your life, Mr. President (not ‘MY’ President), you’re not proud of your country before you managed to hoodwink your way into the White House? The United States has done so little to nothing before you blessed America with your presence?
After all, during your
ascensioncampaign you made a big deal of how proud of your country you have been all your life, but believed you could change it and shape it into something even more glorious.Maybe you were you refering to Kenya?

Knucklehead on September 24, 2009 at 12:01 AM
I’ve some friends in LE, and admittedly tend towards alarmist but they swear to have been part of undertaking some “exercises” re; swine flu and some fairly drastic “preventitive measures”. One is in the mid west & the other on the left coast and do not know each other, yet speak od preety much the same thing.
I find this worrisome as both used the phrases “in a national emergency”, “travel restrictions”, “check points” & “civil unrest” in course of convos. With all the hype about swine flu(less deadly to date the regular flu) I could not help the following question coming to mind.
In regards to 2013, can you conduct an election in those circumstances, I really dont know. I’m aware that this could park me in the tin-foil-hat club, but it nags at me.

Obama has told the World that the Worlds policeman is cuffed, that the night watchman is tied up, the Sheepdog leashed.
He will never, never defend this Nation, or it’s allies, by force.
The World is on it’s own. God Help it.

I didn’t know TOTUS was allowed in the UN Chambers, but I can only assume from the lack of speedbumps and awkward pauses in the Pres’s speech that TOTUS was there with him.

The vast majority of Hot Air contributors must live on the east coast. It is only a little after 10 here on the west and most posters have gone to bed.

Obama just should have read Sarah Palin’s Hong Kong speech.
BDU-33 on September 24, 2009 at 2:00 AM
Let me rephrase: I am not trying for any sort of empathy or sympathy on the subject of Mr. Trout. Just making an observance of how things can get out of control when the populous of contributors on Hot Air diminishes greatly after, what is only
around 9:00 P.M. on the West coast. That’s all. Jeez.
betsyz on September 24, 2009 at 2:04 AM
He does not even have ONE molecule of selflessness.
I am gonna relish every minute of Sarah bringing this zero down.
If they use budget reconciliation to pass government healthcare, the country will go ballistic. The GOP better be ready to go medieval if they do.
Sapwolf on September 24, 2009 at 2:06 AM
I’ve got a quote of the day: “…just as no nation should be forced to accept the tyranny of another nation, no individual should be forced to accept the tyranny of their own government.”
That’s rich.
Decry tyrrany while cozying up every leftist tyrranical dictator on the globe.
Blast tyrrany in other nations while jamming cap-n-tax and state-run health insurance down America’s collective throat.
How does his irony muscle not spasm out of control every time he chastises and teaches us unwashed masses?

The entire 230+ years of American accomplishment is summed up in the mere existence of Barack Obama. The Revolution, the progress, the democracy, the entire history of this great nation pales in the presence of The One.

History teaches that totalitarian dictators and their regimes do not give up power willingly, it has to be pried out of their broken and bloody hands.
Go and enjoy yourself. If anyone gives you any grief about the 0bamamessiah just tell them the following…
“Number one: I did not vote for him.
Number two: You Europeans pissed and moaned about “evil George Bush” and “stupid American cowboys” and the rest. Polls taken in Europe showed that you wanted Obama to win and when he did you acted like he was the second coming of Christ. This is where you learn the true meaning of the old adage ‘Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.’.

And you make your morning coffee a little hotter to cope…..and you say your prayers for this great country a little more intense……..

“Grief”? Nah, they’re all in heat for him, especially the media, the young and the gullible. The others won’t speak up.

Was watching on CNN international/Europe and their biggest comment after Obama`s speech was how quick he left so as not to have to meet Qaddafi in the hallway. (Qaddafi was the next speaker.)
Also the CNN reporter noted that they were expecting a standing ovation after the One was finished, “But it does not look like it is going to happen”, she said.
