SubscribeObama - On The Objective Of His Trip
From the CBS News program Face The Nation, via YouTube:
Lara Logan: “Is this trip partly aimed at overcoming that concern, that, you know, there are doubts among some Americans that you could lead the country at war as commander in chief from day one?”
Obama: “You know, the interesting thing is that the people who are very experienced in foreign affairs, I don’t think have those thoughts. The troops that I’ve been meeting with over the last several days, they don’t seem to have those doubts. The objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to ten years.
“It’s important for me to have a relationship with them early…”
Yes, that is audacity.
And arrogance.

Senator. The troops are under orders to be polite to you. No matter what they think of you personally, which according to estimates is about 80% willing to put a cap in your ass if you otherwise their commanding officer.

Shocking arrogance! 10 years? I guess he is planning on 2 1/2 terms….New campaign slogan:
OBAMA ‘08—Saving the Universe one planet at a time….

Informed and educated Americans know the objective of Barry’s trip is to dupe the uninformed electorate into believing a candidate that has accomplished nothing looks Presidential. Watch as the Chosen One purposefully strides from his jet to greet world leaders with the fawning press in tow. Purely style over substance.
This trip is no different than the act of placing an altered Presidential Seal on the podium.

How about that cocky stroll off of the plane, hand in pocket, chewing gum, then removing his sunglasses ever so cooly–smooth operator! Every move choreographed–super slick—nauseating! I truly hate to get all “ad hominem”, but his shallow emptiness demands it.He looks so ridiculous interacting with world leaders, etc. Like he’s on a school trip…..I never thought I would ever see such a ludicrous spectacle! And I thought Bill Clinton demeaned the office of the President…..

As the movie line goes, “You gonna make me get all mid-evil on your ass.” Or something close.
This guy just makes me want to smack him many times.

Did anyone notice how all of the “leaders” he is meeting with are fawning all over him in an effort to make him appear legitimate and “presidential”?
The entire region has given hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase a President they can dictate terms to without fear of any kind of retribution.
They collectively know that a man with a spine in office, and a congress with the best interests of the United States in mind will begin to recover our own natural resources, and thus blow the energy market to hell.
They paid for a spineless jellyfish with a human mouth…..and a congress who is hell bent on preventing us from achieving energy independence. They now have both.
It will take the next four years, which will be four years of a steadily declining economy artificially propped up by media reports and dozens of “investigations”, but eventually, the BUSH card the democrats are playing will wear thin on everyone.
Pelosi set the stage for the next year’s failures…..she said they are working tirelessly to clean up the mess Bush left them….and if it wasnt for his failed policies…everything would be hunky dorey.
Bush didnt do it. Democrat congress and Republican obstructionism, pay backs for past “wrongs” by the other party, and the careful choreography of making sure we become acceptable to the world, instead of independent of them.
Four years is what it will take for the ultimate tipping point where all but the most rabid lleftists and the clueless eco freaks will say, “that’s it”……and turn on the most worthless and ineffective group of elected officials ever to disgrace an office.
Carter came to Washington with his rose colored look at things…..and destroyed almost every facet of society in the process. Once he was gone, things got back to normal……but…
now, it will be worse, far worse. This is the first time in our history that our congress, and our president has been selected, paid for, and will serve the masters who put him there.
It will be a mini Dark Ages for America….but we will prevail. Hell, I cant fathom walking to work, and wearing a parka in my own home to stay warm so the elite can jet to Bali for another conference on how to tax me some more to keep illegals warm.
I will tell everyone though…..Get to New York City while you can. It wont be inhabitable in the next two years. Los Angeles as well. Get used to fending for yourself. The enemy isnt just at the gates…..congress has opened the door, and invited them in.
Yeah, I know….gloom and doom. I wish I was wrong. I hope I am wrong. But I got a new license plate last week….it says “TOLD YA”.

“ONLY IN AMERICA, the Legend of Barack Obama” storms ahead with rip-roarin’, battlefield action in “The Longest Day” ! Starring John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Red Buttons, Sal Mineo, Robert Ryan, Tommy Sands, Curt Jurgens, Sean Connery, Eddie Albert, George Hamilton, Fabian, Gert Frobe, Peter Lawford, Kenneth More, Richard Burton etc etc and introducing BARACK OBAMA as “Barack Obama”!
Scene: Omaha Beach, Dog White Sector.
Date: June 6, 1944
From the high bluffs overlooking the landing ground German soldiers poured a burning hail of artillery and small arms fire onto the American troops trying to punch the first hole in Hitler’s Festung Europa.
Swarming ashore from heaving Higgins boats, hundred of Americans were instantly cut down. The shocked survivors, many of them wounded, huddled beneath a low sea wall, seeking cover from the merciless enemy fire. One soldier, though, stood up and began to walk along the line, ignoring the bullets that snapped past him on every side.
“On your feet men!” roared Brigadier General Norman Cota. “Grab your weapons and move out! There are only two kinds of people on this beach: those who are dead and those who are going to die. Now let’s get the hell out of – hey, who are you?”
“Hi! I’m Barack Obama and I want to be your president!” said the stranger, extending his hand. “How are you doing today?”
“Um, fine.” said the general, shaking hands. “I’m Dutch Cota, 29th Infantry”.
“Nice to meet you, captain” said Obama. “Well, I’m here to bring my message of hope and meaningful change to this national disaster. Look at this place, noise and confusion everywhere. What was President Roosevelt thinking, irresponsibly dragging our nation into this open ended quagmire?”
A mortar shell whomped into the beach and covered both men in sand.
“This was a clean shirt!” fussed Obama. “Brush me off, will you?”
“Hang on, mister” said Cota, ignoring Obama’s sartorial concerns. “Once my boys get up those cliffs we’ll have the Krauts on the run…c’mon, soldier: let’s move out!” Cota kicked the soles of a prone soldier’s boots.
“I can’t, general” shivered the GI. “I’m too scared…I’m just too scared”.
“Listen son” said Cota. “I’m scared too but…”
“I’m not scared” interrupted Obama. “I’m hopefully audacious and audaciously hopeful. My ringing message of hope and meaningful change has resonated around the country, no, around the world. With my graceful personal style, my eloquence, my youthful ardor, my mouthy wife with the chip on her shoulder, why the election is a mere formality. With my candidacy at last America can turn the page on its shameful history and become, perhaps for the first time, the living embodiment of the noblest dreams and aspirations of all our people…”
“Alright - I’m going! No more! I’m going already!” said the GI, scrambling forward. “Sheesh!”
“Attaboy, son!” urged Cota. “Go get ‘em!”
“Limited battlefield success is meaningless without political reconciliation” said Obama ”and I simply don’t see that happening here. Millions of francs in cheese revenue remain unspent by the central government. The country remains divided along sectarian lines, with General deGaulle unable to impose his authority. Our army of liberation has become a force of occupation – look at those troops, just digging in the sand like they own the place! We need to turn our backs on this open ended distraction, this so-called ‘Second Front’, and concentrate on the real enemy - the Italians. We need to turn these boats and tanks around and drive them to Alaska right away to confront the real enemy on the real battlefront”.
“Alaska? There’s no Italians in Alaska”.
“Exactly! Our casualty rates will plummet to zero! Once we’ve established our timetable for phased withdrawal from France and moved everything to Alaska…”
“Are you nuts?” said Cota. “Run away?”
“Not run away – withdraw. There’s difference, you know”.
“Yeah? Well, we just got here. Look, mac” said Cota. “Tell you what: see those guys way up there with the funny metal hats and all the guns with the smoke coming out of them? They’re the ones you need to talk to. You go walk up there, no, run up there and give them your message. I’m sure they’ll be most receptive”.
“You think so? Really?”
“Oh, yeah. Sure. Off you go now, that’s it…smile at them. Smile. Wave your hands. Don’t look back, keep going…that’s it…”
“But now I’ve got sand in my shoes” whined Obama.
“War is all hell, pal” said Cota. “You just keep walking now…”

-’ who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to ten years-’ While I will pass on the expected humiliation of Obamanation as to being too damn stupid to even know how long his term as President would be, and I will pass on the deserved scorn for a ‘presumptive’ candidate who automatically assumes (even before being nominated) that he will serve two terms - my daughter explained to me that his gaffe (exactly what is the correct word to use when a messianic Typical Political Person makes a ‘mistake’?!?) is that the extra two years are for the extra 7 states!
Artboy - another great one - -’I’m hopefully audacious and audaciously hopeful’- superb to the max.

Artboy,
Wonderful as usual, it’s been too long since the last one.
