Obamateurism of the Day

posted at 8:05 am on September 8, 2010 by Ed Morrissey

Says the man who has spent the last nineteen months howling about his predecessor:

“I wanted to be stronger than it was before. And over the past two years, that’s meant taking on some powerful interests. Some powerful interests that have been setting the agenda in Washington for a long time, and they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.”

Just call these the Dog Days of Recovery Summer. Seriously, if Obama wanted to have a job where people didn’t criticize him, he should have stayed in Chicago politics, where not only did people not criticize him, he didn’t do much to grab anyone’s notice except run for office.

Note: Allahpundit wonders whether Obama tried to emit some sort of cool with a Hendrix reference, but just how “cool” would that be anyway? I’m a classic rock guy myself, but whining about criticism would still be whining whether or not I quoted Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynyrd while doing it.

Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at obamaisms@edmorrissey.com with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I’ll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I’ll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.

He did say while sitting on the couch at “The Spew” that all black people are “mutts” so….what’s he b!tching about?

milwife88 on September 8, 2010 at 8:09 AM

Is it racist to say his skin is mighty thin?

Disturb the Universe on September 8, 2010 at 8:10 AM

Some powerful interests that have been setting the agenda in Washington for a long time

Like the Democratic-controlled House, Senate and White House?

publiuspen on September 8, 2010 at 8:11 AM

Ya, Jimmy Hendrix is right up there near the top of my role model list; people I want to be like.

Skandia Recluse on September 8, 2010 at 8:14 AM

They have a lot in common, like drug use!

Of course.

Poor little Zero is starting to lose his “chinamen.” In Chicago there used to be 50 bosses …….. drip, drip, drip.

MayorDaley on September 8, 2010 at 8:17 AM

One major difference — I like dogs. Poor baby.

GnuBreed on September 8, 2010 at 8:18 AM

I seriously doubt Urkel listened to Jimi…

Fallon on September 8, 2010 at 8:19 AM

They talk about me like a dog.

What your doing is called trolling, now shut up and eat your waffle.

SHARPTOOTH on September 8, 2010 at 8:19 AM

I wouldn’t have voted for Jimi Hendrix either. And I liked Jimi Hendrix.

Guardian on September 8, 2010 at 8:20 AM

If he can’t get a MLK quote right on the oval office carpet, then he most likely had no idea it was Hendrix; I think he is getting too much credit.

Now if he had worked in a reference to yellow snow, zircon encrusted tweezers, cosmic debris, or even driving a truck of string beans to Utah… then he would have really shown his cool.

singlemalt_18 on September 8, 2010 at 8:20 AM

That dog won’t hunt.

GnuBreed on September 8, 2010 at 8:21 AM

Why no coverage of the bold move to, for the second straight year, avoid appearing at Ground Zero on 9-11? He can attend Broadway musicals on “date night” but alas, has decided to seek the shelter of a controlled audience at the Pentagon and send Michelle-my-belle to the angry streets of Manhattan, none to happy about the Obamamosque.

Marcus on September 8, 2010 at 8:22 AM

And over the past two years, that’s meant taking on some powerful interests.

Yes, the interests are called the American people. Only they’re about to take you on. Who do you think is going to win this one Barry?

Indeed it is.

Dogs are man’s best friend. I love dogs. I’ve known dogs all my life. Make no mistake, Barry, you are no dog.

petefrt on September 8, 2010 at 8:33 AM

I’d never associate Him with a dog. I like dogs. Dogs are smart. Dogs try to do what I want. I like seeing my dog. Dogs don’t need a teleprompter to communicate.

Dingbat63 on September 8, 2010 at 8:34 AM

Obummer is such a whiny crybaby. It’s embarrassing, really. I want a real president…

KS Rex on September 8, 2010 at 8:36 AM

What, with the mutt and mongrel references, he talks about himself like a dog.

Felonious Monk on September 8, 2010 at 8:38 AM

Nobody who has Jay-Z on their i-pod ever listened to Hendrix. The boy ain’t that cool.

darwin-t on September 8, 2010 at 8:40 AM

Maybe the fleas and ticks are getting to him.

toongoon on September 8, 2010 at 8:40 AM

There’s no whining in Skynyrd, dude.

Zep on the other hand…

loudmouth883 on September 8, 2010 at 8:42 AM

His dog comment reminded me more of the Elvis song “Hound Dog”

Here’s a selection of lines from the song;

“You ain’t nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time”

“Well they said you was high class, but that was just a lie”

“You ain’t never caught a rabbit and you ain’t no friend of mine”

Done That on September 8, 2010 at 8:42 AM

“… ending taxpayer bailouts for Wash- Wall Street …” clap clap clap cheer cheer cheer.
.
I think he knew what he was saying before he caught himself and began the the litany of demonizing everybody on “Wall Street.”
.
Believe me Ø, dogs have a much better rep than you, my man.

ExpressoBold on September 8, 2010 at 8:43 AM

He could end all of this if he’d just show us his dog licence.

A more apropos Hendrix quote:

Obama strikes me as more of a Bobby Sherman fan, actually.

If I were to talk about Obama like a dog, I would have to say dogs are loyal, faithful, and protective of their territory President Obama is not.

philly_PA on September 8, 2010 at 8:47 AM

Yeah, but he wouldn’t quote Skynyrd, they’re all about independence and taking care of your own problems. Things that are beyond his dimwitted intellectualism.

I am taking a special interest in replacing your agenda beginning with this vote in November and again in 2012.

Nah, the other cur in the WH is heading to the field in PA, holding on to Laura Bush’s coattails. There, they will see a landscape that demonstrates more “reconciliation” (dhimmitude) with its crescent-shaped tribute to the brave of Flight #93.

We may be post-Labor Day, but with the ObaMaos, we are still in the dog days of summer.

We should put him in the cone of shame.

Beaglemom on September 8, 2010 at 8:53 AM

A teaching moment:

Son do you see the dude in the blue tshirt hanging on to BO’s every word?

Yes daddy, he has a goofy grin on his face and he is drooling.

Son, now that is what we call a sheeple. This is someone who can’t think for himself, can’t make a decision on his own, and basically still lives at home with his mommy.

You mean, daddy, he is sort’ve like the president?

Yes son, you are learning….

jbh45 on September 8, 2010 at 8:57 AM

I’ll be more impressed when he sprinkles pop culture references from a wider variety of artists. He’s no Dennis Miller, but I am sure his fans had to work overtime to come up with an inexplicable explanation for what can only be described as churlishness. So do we think his crack research dept. came up with this or did the press do it for him?

Cindy Munford on September 8, 2010 at 8:59 AM

I’m a classic rock guy myself, but whining about criticism would still be whining whether or not I quoted Led Zeppelin or Lynyrd Skynyrd while doing it.

Maybe he’ll be singing the chorus to “Gimme Three Steps” in two years.

itsnotaboutme on September 8, 2010 at 9:00 AM

First he’s Kaptain Kickass!

So what is he now, Cujo?

pilamaye on September 8, 2010 at 9:00 AM

Question is what kind of dog is he?

Pekingese or Chihuahua. Something loud, small and yappy. Zero reminds me of the neurotic miniature poodle of an odd girl I knew in college (not for long) which for whatever reasons had a compulsion to crap everywhere. Zero does the same and probably paints his toenails too.

viking01 on September 8, 2010 at 9:01 AM

Natch, none of the rest of us prole commenters are bestowed with any degree of awesomeness if we quote history, movies, or music in our snarktastic comments. I guess we cake eaters must be more self referent in our comments in the context of pop culture./

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to put up or shut up.

No more snark, no more games, it’s coming.

I don’t get this being an Obamateurism. It’s not. It’s the community organizer/Alinsky-agitator coming out with the claws to motivate his base to go out and vote in November. Also a great way to get that media posse of his back on track with the race-card and deeply pondering ‘are we really treating our first an historic black president like a doggy?’ ad infinitum. Tried, true and tested method of changing the topic of the day/weeks from the critical issues as the elections approach.

Its quite possible that only base he’s generating right now is the conservative. Lefties are so underwhelmed with this bozo they don’t want to be seen associated with him. The lsm and left wing blogs only stay with him now out of habit and to feel relevant. I don’t think his damage is done yet by any means but hes losing his halo.

toongoon on September 8, 2010 at 9:17 AM

It’s all about vacations, 3AM phone calls and being bothered by questions…

So don’t ask me no questions
And I won’t tell you no lies
So don’t ask me ’bout my business
And I won’t tell you goodbye
Well, what’s your favorite color
And do you dig the brothers, is drivin’ me up a wall
And everytime I think I can sleep
Some fool has got to call

Well, don’t you think that when I come home
I just want a little piece of mind?

If you want to talk about the business
Buddy you’re just wasting time

(Lynyrd Skynyrd)

I figure Zero is a Milli Vanilli fan who worships the irony of lip-syncing the lip-syncers.

“Alas, poor Teleprompter, I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite pest.”

viking01 on September 8, 2010 at 9:43 AM

Obama says: “They talk about me like a dog.”

Who ever says that. “Treat me like a dog”, sure. But “They talk about me like a dog” is so strange. The first 50 google hits on it are all related to Obama. Not a SINGLE mention otherwise. This is an obscure statement. So being a Hendrix reference makes sense.

Paul-Cincy on September 8, 2010 at 9:44 AM

At least GW Bush never whined. As Clinton would say, not once, not a single time. But truly.

Paul-Cincy on September 8, 2010 at 9:46 AM

Skynyrd: not cool.

I knew it. The One must have my house bugged.

I thought my comments about sniffing here, sniffing there, starting projects like He was burying bones, understanding a buddy dog getting aggressive when strangers (cops) came to the door and being better at chasing balls around a golf course than throwing them went unnoticed.

I’m glad that I didn’t mail my stuff to the NYT. My block had some strange visitors after I offered to be the resident reactionary racist on MSNBC.

Funny, every time I see him on TV I can only think of these lyrics:

With the things that I say.

I’m the slime oozing out from your TV set.

He’s the polar opposite.

It wasn’t Hendrix. Jimi just took an old southern analogy and used it. Not unheard of.

That said, Obama wouldn’t know Jimi Hendrix from Christina Hendricks.

Says the man who has spent the last nineteen months howling about his predecessor:

Ed, you clever, you!

He loves car and dog analogies. Not JH.

One is that elder daughter Malia, 10, “is allergic, so it has to be hypoallergenic.” The other is that “our preference would be to get a shelter dog,” which would point to the possiblity of a mixed breed, or, as Obama said, “a mutt, like me.”

This man-child of a president has no dignity, class or self-respect. He’s a total, absolute failure in every regard.

Has Obama ever, EVER, said one nice comment about the GOP or GW Bush?? Nope. That Obama surrounds himself with snarky, trash talkin, finger-pointing, blame-everyone-else, people like Rham, Axelrod, Gibbs, Pelosi, & Reid, lets you know who started this fight.

How to Correct Bad Behavior in Leftist Presidents.

A poorly trained President can embarrass its Constituents and offend other peoples – and at times even make them feel threatened. To ensure a well behaved President, enroll him or her in an electorate obedience class prior to nomination. If that is not possible and you have a bad President in office, here are some pointers on how to handle common leftist presidential problems.

Instructions:

Stop the Begging. This only encourages further bad behavior. Beseeching your President to stop the incessant spending, constitution tearing and the rolling in the stench of his arrogance is ineffective at best. It really is a waste of time. His bad behavior stems from his natural leftist instinct, improper socialization, boredom with continually voting present and his insatiable desire for your attention. To stop it, you must take the upper hand. On a regular schedule, subject your President to large angry crowds of his most honest and forthright Constituents. Your errant President must witness your disapproval and defiance. Loud noise making and threatening recrimination is also very helpful. “Bad President! – Bad! – Bad!”

Don’t Tolerate Car Chasing: In most instances, a leftist President is protecting or expanding its territory by doing this. Sometimes, it can indicate an extreme dislike of especially large cars or of the car creators themselves. Favorite targets seem to be General Motors and Chrysler vehicles. If possible, keep the President confined to a secure location and don’t allow Automobile executives anywhere near the President. When you find that your leftist President is taking excessive vacations away from the secure location, try to keep him on a tight leash. Fox News can help you with this. He will be especially vulnerable in golfing areas where there are many of the small golf type vehicles present. When in these areas, be prepared to yank firmly on the leash as soon as you see him grab his balls and putter. Having said that, it is important to extend praise and treats to a leftist President when he resists chasing cars. Also, allowing some vacation time is a humane way of ridding your President of pent-up energy.

Stop Excessive Chewing. Even though they belittle others with the same condition, some leftist presidents have nicotine addictions. To counter its effects, they may attempt to chew their way out of their confining state. For the most part, leftist Presidents are weak-willed mollycoddles. Consequently, they shun the concept of direct substantive action in dealing with their problems. Chewing nicotine gum is a natural solution for them… much like voting present all the time. The problem arises then they do their chewing at important public gatherings, thereby exposing their complete lack of etiquette and greatly embarrassing their Constituents. If you find that your president is engaging in public chewing, a chew substitute must be found. In an excessively vacationing president, chewing opportunities abound, though condoning this method of upkeep can be highly expensive… especially if the leftist first lady is involved. The author suggests a much cheaper solution… Joe Biden’s hand. It’s readily available, provides chewing satisfaction for the President and the pain experienced to the leftist Vice President would be highly gratifying to the aforementioned large angry crowds of honest and forthright Constituents.

Does your President Dig through the Trash? Sometimes leftist presidents will access other people’s garbage. Their natural instinct is to rummage through its contents and when an especially stinky piece of work is found, they find exuberance by rolling in its vulgarity in order to make it part of themselves. The weak yet controlling nature of leftist presidents makes them very susceptible to the following:

Rules for Radicals – Alinsky
The Communist Manifesto – Marx / Engles
Hugo Chavez – Venezuelan dictator
Fidel Castro – Cuban dictator

These are but a few examples, but there are many others. If allowed unfettered access, the results can be catastrophic and a strong odor will result. In severe cases, a swift neutering action by the electorate may be the only remedy.

Making Holes in the Lawn. Leftist Presidents are thought to be poor golfers and tend to excavate deep swaths when playing with others in the turf. It is not however due to any poor ability but is an inherent instinct to destroy the area for those that follow. This is a difficult problem to correct. Sometimes it is better just to admonish the behavior and take away the clubs. Alternatively, you can also allow a little golf vehicle chasing.

Prevent or Stop Vicious Attacks. Leftist Presidents don’t ever do the actual attacking, they always have someone do this for them. When they feel threatened of feel abused they release their organizer friends to threaten, intimidate and at times perform physical violence. Sometimes, if the lefty President is in perpetual heat, as we experienced in the ‘90’s, they can be especially difficult to control, but are generally more docile and pathetic in their demeanor. As an interim solution, try to provide your lefty President with lots of supporting lefty admirers as a distraction until the next electoral cycle comes due.

Excessive Barking. You may find that your lefty president sometimes speaks to you in a curt, angry and superior tone. All leftists do this from time to time, and they will whine if you don’t tolerate it sometimes. Territorial aggression, lack of exercise and frustration with all those considered inferior are the usual culprits. However, if your President becomes excessively arrogant and abusive, then it’s time for some corrective action. If you are unable to enlist the mainstream press in providing a good verbal lashing, you may have to resort to some painful humiliation by showing him his low poll numbers. If all else fails, and you know he’s getting plenty of exercise, then an electoral neutering may be the only permanent solution.

Well, I do think of him as a real S.O.B. Does that count?

Fred Thompson on the dog comment: “Maybe it’s appropriate because he is treating the country like a fire hydrant.”

Now if he had worked in a reference to yellow snow, zircon encrusted tweezers, cosmic debris, or even driving a truck of string beans to Utah… then he would have really shown his cool.

He would try to show his cool, but he would be wearing the “Sears” Pancho, not the “REAL” one. Sears is from Chicago dontcha know, a union town, but the pancho was made in China…
