IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION COMES TO MIND

LEFTIE MEDIA STILL DIZZY

The stupidity of comments and disdain still coming from the leftie media, post victory of Scott Brown in Massachusetts is not as surprising as it is intentional and incompetent and ignorant.

Regarding the State of the union speech last night; I'm not going to even comment, it's simply just more of the same - not even in a new package. There really is more news in willfullness of the duped media...

Ed at HOT AIR recounts a doozy from Chris Matthews commentary(video) last night; pretty stunning really, how race-obsessed Matthews is-and the left talking heads are in general, they've become rather stale and annoying. The other item in this link is about a commentary from Brian Williams - which we watched live last night- and found this disturbing(the wife prefers NBC - yeah, Doh!) right after the response from (R)Gov. McConnell... Williams immediately makes note of the racial makup of the Governors backdrop behind him...and how intentional it is on the Republicans' part to "create diversity"...as I said, anoying....

EPIC BEATDOWN ON OBAMA: LEFTIE PROFESSOR UNLEASHES

This is to date, the most brutal written tirade on President Obama and his ways...it's golden!
The real kicker here is the Professor's biggest complaint is Obama hasn't tacked far enough to the LEFT!!

One of the commenters of the piece says this:

"No, the "best prescription for wrecking a Presidency" is to elect someone incapable of doing the job. Did you vote for Obama? In the primary? You're silent on that.

If you did, then this sums up your article: "I gave my car keys to my five-year-old and that miserable brat crashed into a tree and wrecked everything. That despicable little brat is the worst driver in history."

(And I don't mean that as an insult to Obama, I mean it as an exact metaphor for his qualifications relative to the job of the Presidency.)

Of course, Obama is not a kid, and he is to blame for seeking a job he was TOTALLY unqualified to do. But the blame is shared by every adult who voted for a TOTALLY unqualified candidate, especially in the primary.

I don't need you to tell me Obama sucks. I want you to explain the Great Mystery: how any sentient adult could believe a TOTALLY unqualified person could succeed as President. Regardless of his 'message.' Regardless of what you thought of Hillary. None of that excuses giving the car keys to a five-year-old.

It's disgraceful for the 'Progressive Movement' to now cry about what Obama has 'done to our movement.' Do you remember the 1984 viral video? You discredited your own movement by enabling this transparent fraud -- and everybody outside of your ingrown dreamworld sees that."

Obama, the statist, fights for what he wants, not what Americans want... think on this next time you hear the bashing of Tea Partiers.

OBAMA'S YEAR: CONVERTED TO INVERTED

PRETTY MUCH OFFICIAL: MONEY IS FREE SPEECH

My mantra with regard to politics and money has been, unlimited money-full disclosure.
If ones true belief that transparency is necessary in good governance...than this 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court is a good thing, and now more than ever blazes the trail for continued transparency(exactly what Obama wants, right? - NOT!) This decision actually forces those to not only put your money(transparently) where your mouth is...but also lay your principles right next to it. Preach what you practice.

OBAMA HOPD TOUR -- Hug Of Political Death (pronounced hoped)

Jon Corzine hugs Obama: He HOPD to have won Governor of New Jersey, but, as it happens...with the help from Obama, Corzine lost the race to Chris Christie. Some were pretty convinced that wen Corzine called Christie "fat", that was about what did him in. Remember to stay classy, Democrats!

Creigh Deeds hugs Obama: He HOPD to have won Governor of Virginia'09, but with the help of Obama, he lost to Bob McDonnell.

Martha Coakley hugs Obama: She HOPD to win; but lost the Senate race to Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Gotta love the look of enthusiasm on Obama's face ;)

I predict this win by Scott Brown to be a historical tipping point in American politics. Just sayin'.

Stay tuned for more...they're sure to come. Particularly looking forward to Nevada, for Harry Reid! ;)
Feel free to submit any HOPD that I may have missed, thanks in advance!

'LETS SPLIT!'

WINNER !

Happy anniversary, President Obama!
The shift in one year from a complete support of Obama to complete support Scott Brown - of independents - my hat is off to them! This special election was epic, and the Left in government leadership in this country are officially on notice... This piece in the NY Times does a fine job of assessing this atmosphere.

Finally, the Democrat elite speak: “I think there’s been a misreading of where the public is at" -- with this statement, the ether may be lifting!

"SCREW UP"

I will say it again on this blog; I did not elect this kind of behavior to the Presidency. Not even close.
Here, in one paragraph, our President Obama points his finger while in the same breath he chides the inclination to do so. It's become quite obvious to me that when it comes to him having to actually mouth the words that are prepared for his teleprompters, he ends up regretting them. He is not fooling most people, particularly not me. This type of behavior would be harder for me to watch if were not for the usual chin-raising arrogance that accompanies these speeches - most of them. It's becoming harder to watch, but I can't help it...you know the saying...

NAVY SEAL CREED

In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nation’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man.

My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day.

My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own.

I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond.

We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations.

I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.

We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me -- my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.

We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.

Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail.

Hooyah!

This executive order is extremely troubling; a very telling Christmas gift to Americans, albeit given under the radar - of course!... we(some) were busy buying Christmas gifts and were busy doing everything else related to the holidays. We are now learning that this time is opportune for Obama's dirty work. This maneuver cannot be put lightly, it's an outright kick in the crotch to America, our sovereignty, our Constitution.
The picture I've posted is certainly - given this new item- more appropriate now, more than ever...regardless of the original interpretations of this photo.
